On each episode of Know Your Network we invite a young professional from our network who works in that industry, and ask them to bring along an industry peer. This episode is focused on Human Resources, a field that encompasses a lot of critical business functions and thus is often misunderstood. HR team members are also first to adapt to new trends in hiring, skills and industry needs to recruit, train and retain effective workforces.  Our guests today are Olivia Hess and Caroline O’Rourke.
