Corporate Sellouts

EP 5: What does HR actually do?

Listen Later

This week, Tori interviews Taylor about her role in HR at a large tech company. How she got there, what she does, and what HR as a whole does. Although they’ve been friends for years, Tori truly did not know the ins and outs of Taylor’s job in HR but now she - and all of our Corporate Sellouts listeners - understand all of the roles and responsibilities that HR takes on.

Questions we answer in today’s episode:

  • Is HR your friend or are they just there to help the business?
  • What is the goal of an HR business partner and who is your key stakeholder?
  • What is the typical education path for someone in HR? Business, are HR degrees common?
  • Are there HR internships that college students interested in HR should be doing in the summer?
