May 2021 ACC Luncheon- HR and Legal: Power in Partnership

The importance of alignment between HR and Legal is often overlooked and even neglected. When these two departments are not united, the company’s culture is negatively affected and employee issues are likely to increase. The HR and Legal departments fulfill a critical stabilizing need for every business, and when the two departments are not harmonized the negative impacts cascades through the organization. Join us for a discussion about the ways you can improve the Legal department’s working relationship with the HR team. Carolyn Shellman of CPS Energy and Jeff Hagelman of Whataburger are leaders of two of San Antonio’s best examples of Legal and HR alignment. Carolyn and Jeff along with members of their respective HR teams will share their insights and wisdom of how their teams are continually focused on improving the communication and relationship between Legal and HR.
