The "December Dilemma"

The proverbial saying around the holidays is that "it's the most wonderful time of the year!"  But for HR professionals, it can be a time of stress in the workplace.  Every December, HR is faced with the difficult task of adequately acknowledging the various religious and secular holiday traditions within an organization.

In this episode, we'll talk with Nina Boe, Senior Workplace Program Associate at Tanenbaum*.  We'll discuss the dilemmas organizations face when trying to accommodate different beliefs during the holiday season as well as all year round.
Leading the discussion is Producer and Co-host of HR Fresh Take, Kaela Blanks.  Also joining in is Executive Producer, Dr. Jo Vazquez.
