From lack of budget to overbearing CEOs, there are a host of problems that HR professionals deal with every day. So, what are the red flags to look out for, and how can issues be resolved before they develop?

In this episode, we sit down with Julie Turney, Founder and Chief Impact Architect at HR@Heart Consulting, for a conversation about memorable HR experiences (both good and bad!), and how to create a great company culture.

We also cover how to set boundaries at work, how HR differs from place to place, and why companies and organizations should never be described as “a family.”

Key moments: 

• Whether an employee’s happiness depends on their personal life or professional life
• How to avoid “compassion fatigue”
• How a difficult CEO experience spurred Julie to start HR@Heart Consulting
• Why happiness at work is a journey, not a destination
• Why HR professionals need to be given access to the strategy of the organization
• The importance of picking battles and not “dying on every hill”
