How a proactive HR resource can shape your company for success

People Spark joins us today for insight on how to use your HR (human resources) department to build the culture you want, retain more of your employees, and be more profitable.  As the title says, HR is more than just paperwork.  In many companies that Erin and Kristen work with, there is no HR department.  Or possibly one person has been designated as the HR person.  In this video/podcast episode, we shed some light on how to make better use of the HR department.
