EP 5: What does HR actually do?

This week, Tori interviews Taylor about her role in HR at a large tech company. How she got there, what she does, and what HR as a whole does. Although they’ve been friends for years, Tori truly did not know the ins and outs of Taylor’s job in HR but now she - and all of our Corporate Sellouts listeners - understand all of the roles and responsibilities that HR takes on. Questions we answer in today’s episode: Is HR your friend or are they just there to help the business? What is the goal of an HR business partner and who is your key stakeholder? What is the typical education path for someone in HR? Business, are HR degrees common? Are there HR internships that college students interested in HR should be doing in the summer?
