How do you make a Envolve difference?
I can easily make a difference by stopping and putting myself in an employee's shoes. In my position, most feel that HR can be very negative because they associate it with termination. However, HR is so much more than that. We are the 'people people' and we have to know how to deal with difficult situations and take each one with an open mind.
