 HR Expert Witness learnings:

 Mr. Documentation is your friend
 “Leadership cowboys” make plaintiff attorneys rich
 Truly become your leadership's trusted advisor and not
the “HR police”
 Listen to your employees
 You are NEVER,NEVER, NEVER “off the record.
So what might this mean to you?
 Know the difference between “personnel” and “Human
Resources”
 In addition to the fundaments of the “personnel
business”:
 Learn process assessment, intervention and facilitation
 Become a certified coach
 Learn meeting design and facilitation
 Remember HR works for the client, not the other way
around.
 You will only survive and prosper through continuous
learning.
 “Be the BIG FIVE”
So what might this mean to you?
 NETWORK!
NETWORK!
NETWORK
You are only as good as the resources you
can bring to the table
Nothing is permanent
Everyone is replaceable
Make and keep friends-they save sanity
