Dear Hannah,
Happy Friday! If you are a firm leader, firm admin, COO, CFO, controller or have another role in which you are making decisions about HR issues – especially in these complicated times – then we have a great new benefit for you! Launching today,
the MSCPA HR Hotline will give members in charge of making HR decisions access to a 30-minute consultation with a seasoned HR professional.
The consultation is free to members and 100% confidential.
Our consulting team will be led by
Laurie LaBrie, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, president of Integrated Human Resources, Inc.
Laurie is one of our most popular speakers, and many of you know her from our Management of an Accounting Practice Conference. You can learn more about her here.
We're very excited to offer this new benefit, and with discussions about returning to offices over the next few months, the timing couldn't be better. To learn more about the HR Hotline and how to get in touch with Laurie, please check out our website.
Have a wonderful weekend and a happy Father's Day to all the dads!
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO
