Solo HR, Real Impact: Building the HR Function from Scratch
Being a solo HR professional means owning everything: hiring, onboarding, payroll, compliance, employee issues, culture, systems and somehow still expected to “be strategic” while putting out fires all day.
This session is for people in that exact spot.
Panelists will break down what it takes to go from “just keeping things running” to building something" that works long term. We’ll talk about what to prioritize, what to ignore, and how to stop feeling like you’re constantly behind. If your HR strategy currently lives in your head (and your to-do list is winning), this will help you get a handle on it.
