Listen "Episode 47: Fractional HR Work and Frontline Industry Challenges"
Episode Synopsis
To say things haven't been easy for HR professionals over the past 5 years is a colossal understatement. The pandemic, the rapid adjustment to WFH, the Great Resignation, all of the "Quiet" iterations (that I'm glad have gone away), RTO pushes, AI-fueled workforce realignments, and a broadening skills gap have led to widespread burnout and many HR pros making the move from full-time roles to fractional and consulting work.
While being your own boss can seem idyllic if you're battling burnout and frustration in a full-time HR position, it may not be the best fit for everyone. My guest, Tracie Sponenberg, has made the move from a 3-decade career in HR to running her own LLC as a fractional CPO and HR consultant and shares her experience and advice for those exploring the jump. We also talk about the unique challenges facing industries that typically aren't heavily covered in the HR Tech world, distribution and manufacturing.
So grab yourself a nice iced latte and enjoy this episode of #HRSnacks!
