What does it take to scale a professional services firm without letting people challenges slow your growth?
That was the focus of Kendra Prospero’s recent conversation on The Principal Podcast, where she discussed why HR should be viewed as a strategic business function instead of simply an administrative necessity.
Throughout the interview, Kendra shares practical lessons from working with growing companies across the country through Turning the Corner HR.
Key Takeaways
- Strategic HR helps eliminate the “quiet bleed” caused by poor hiring, ineffective management, and reactive HR practices.
- Companies with approximately 20 to 200 employees often reach a point where experienced HR leadership becomes essential.
- Great recruiting is about more than filling positions. It is about hiring people who stay, perform, and contribute long term.
- Leadership development and manager training are critical investments as organizations grow.
- Every company deserves HR systems that help leaders make better business decisions, not simply respond to problems.
One Insight That Resonated
“We see HR as a strategic advantage. Why have a bad hire? Why not have a process around promoting and bringing a management team together? Good HR gets ahead of those curves.”
