Early on in 2021, we launched our HR at the Table webinar series in order to give all HR and Talent Acquisition (TA) professionals a seat at the table to discuss and learn more about leading topics in the current HR industry. We’ve had the pleasure of speaking with ten remarkable industry leaders thus far, and these professionals have brought us their insight and wisdom to help us navigate the ever-evolving HR and TA industry. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to recognize the people who have led thought-provoking discussions and made space for new ideas at the HR table.
