THE DAY BEFORE MONDAY Nammo HR Services Manager Steven Swint
In this inaugural episode, Brenda Cunningham chatted with Steve Swint, HR Manager at Nammo Talley. They discussed some of the hard truths about HUMAN resources at work. Things like managing bad bosses, why diversity is critical, hiring from a 55+ candidate pool, and how there is hope for former stay-at-home moms looking to re-enter the workforce.
We addressed tough audience situations like “they rescinded my offer once I tried to negotiate,” and “why are companies asking for a gazillion years of experience when we’re not all on the same learning curve?” This fun and candid conversation stayed focused on helping you to have a better workplace experience so you can once again enjoy going to work.
We’re certain to see more of Steve as we lean on his HR expertise in the future.
