HR Besties: Recapping our Holiday Do's and Don'ts, SHRM Verdict, and Cheers to the New Year!
HR BESTIES
Don't mandate holiday party attendance
Leigh advises against mandatory attendance and discusses neurodiversity, introversion, and pressure from leadership.
Ho, ho, ho! Welcome to our final episode of 2025, Besties. Unfortunately, due to our busy December schedules, we weren't able to lock down a time to record all together. That said, we were able to separately record some updates on SHRM and a few last remarks before we go into hibernation mode over the holidays.
- Who's re-watching Hot Frosty this year?
- SHRM lawsuit verdict
- Throwback to some of our holiday party do's and don'ts
- Updates on the future of HR Besties in 2026 and wishing you a restful holiday!
