This HR podcast for small businesses highlights practical insights and real-world situations that business owners are navigating every day.
Shannon brought clarity, experience, and a grounded perspective to the conversation, helping guide discussion around topics that many leaders are actively trying to figure out in real time: Hiring, social media, AI, data & training.
