Workplace Strategies Watercooler 2024: Effective Collaboration Between HR and Other Business Leaders

In this podcast recorded at Ogletree Deakins’ national Workplace Strategies seminar, Caren Marlowe (shareholder, Tampa) and Jim McGrew (chief client services officer, New Orleans) are joined by Sonya Granillo-Cathey (senior director and privacy officer, Arizona Tile) and Yvonne Taylor (chief human resources officer, Goodwill Industries-Suncoast, Inc.) to discuss how HR can collaborate with other leaders in an organization—from C-suite and in-house legal to HR and operations. The speakers discuss how they bring different perspectives to the table, while keeping in mind the common goal of managing a thriving and successful business. In addition, the speakers explain how to manage expectations and harmonize different leadership viewpoints to reach shared objectives, and how to deal with conflict and ensure a solid seat for HR at the table.
