How to Build a Better Relationship between HR and Finance

HR may not always swim in the same waters as finance, but there are plenty of benefits to building a good working relationship between the two teams. 

In this episode of HR Unplugged, we welcomed BambooHR’s Chief Financial Officer, Justin Judd, to share the perspective of a finance team leader working closely with HR. Justin is a big believer that HR and finance teaming up pays dividends to the wider business and individual team members. 

Hear him explain the benefits, how a team partnership can help to minimize conflict and solve problems faster, and what to do if your teams aren’t aligned on the same goals.
