HR Nightmares

Tiffany Tucker, joins the team at Leath HR Group for this week's episode. Tiffany shares her journey of being a baller on and off the court! From being student-athlete (not to mention ACC Champion), to landing a job as the Deputy Director of Athletics at UNCW, Tiffany has always had a drive to help other student-athletes become successful.

The ladies talk about hiring student-athletes, advice for students looking to enter the workforce, and how being intentional can help get you to that next step in your career. 

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, Mental Health was an important topic to cover as we know employees are often confused about how to best take advantage of the many resources that are offered.

The HR experts of Leath HR Group run through creative resources to try to offer to your teams, discuss research found through WorkTok (Leath HR's communication tool built to improve trust between managers and their teams) and ways to change the perceptions of mental health at work.

We encourage you to ask questions and seek our all and any additional resources available to you from your HR and leadership teams.
