This podcast explores the latest human resource issues facing organizations. It draws on my experiences – often humorous – in the HR world to highlight the problems that can arise, how to avoid them, and what to do if they are already here. I am President of Pinnacle Human Resources LLC located in Albany, Saratoga Springs and Syracuse, NY. I've been an HR professional for many years and my team and I help companies with their human resources initiatives.
