Kyle, Molly, and Patrick discuss employment law with Kate Bischoff, Founder of tHRive Law and Consulting. \xa0
About tHRive Law and Consulting:\xa0 For the most part, employment lawyers are litigators, handling everything employment-related from Charges of Discrimination to wage and hour class actions and noncompetition injunctions.\xa0 Employment lawyers believe\u2014and to a certain extent, they\u2019re right\u2014that this litigation experience means they know what compliance looks like and how to meet it.\xa0 Yet, like most attorneys, they have spent virtually no time in the HR trenches.\xa0 They haven\u2019t faced the tough decisions of how to meet customer demands and provide the healthy work-life balance employees desire or how to meet business objectives with limited resources.\xa0 So to them, compliance means strict adherence to the law without looking at other pragmatic solutions that are both lawful and business-friendly.
As a human resources professional, an employment law attorney, and an adjunct professor of HR compliance, I\u2019ve seen and heard people do and say some really goofy and inappropriate things in the workplace.\xa0 But each time there\u2019s ridiculousness, there are also people doing their best to make an organization the best it can be. These people inspire me.\xa0 They\u2019ve inspired me to get my SPHR and SHRM-SCP certification and work with them to make workplaces better.
And we do. We develop procedures, policies, trainings, and strategies to meet organizational goals.\xa0 I\u2019ve worked with organizations to be compliant, investigate wrongdoing, litigate claims of all sizes, and resolve conflicts.\xa0 After 14 years doing of doing this, I\u2019m now a frequent speaker on compliance topics and get to work with some of the most innovative companies that are using innovative techniques \u2013 including technology \u2013 to grow and achieve.
HR can be a lonely profession.\xa0 Whether you\u2019re a department-of-one or have many HR compatriots with you, a trusted confidante is important, not only to talk through scenarios with you but also spot legal pitfalls that could result in litigation.\xa0 Whether over coffee, lunch, or a glass of wine or beer, I\u2019d love to get to know you, your organization, and how I can help.
