Episode 152: Behind the Scenes of a Human Resources Case Study for a Retail Organization

Vernetta Purcell-Morrow, the director of human resources for the Mecklenburg County Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board is back to share her experience hiring Asfalis Advisors to conduct an human resources audit. We’ll cover why Asfalis Advisors was selected, the findings from Vanessa’s team, and the results of their proposed solutions.

Some of the key takeaways include: 

  • Audits can incite some fear and tension, but choosing a team you trust that is going to be honest while being supportive is crucial to keep up morale during the process.

  • No matter how much you want to improve, it doesn’t feel good to hear all the things you need to improve. Go into this process with a growth mindset and keep your key stakeholders in mind.

  • If your company is trying to reach leadership to become a vendor, do your research on the company. Leaders are looking for people whose company values align with theirs, and who understand their mission and vision.
