    Mastering Influence in Small Business HR: 4 Proven Strategies

    Mastering Influence in Small Business HR: 4 Proven Strategies Hosts: Sabrina Baker and Marie Rolston Summary This episode of HR Connection isolates the core constraint in small business HR: lack of influence. Workload is misdiagnosed as the problem; it is the downstream effect. The discussion breaks down why HR is structurally positioned to be ignored in SMBs and outlines specific behavioral shifts that convert HR from reactive support into a driver of business decisions. Marie and Sabrina provide 4 shifts that HR practitioners can make to raise their influence inside their org. But a word of warning, this does take time. The defining difficulty in SMB HR is not execution load. It is operating without a voice that drives action. Influence is not positional; it is constructed through repeated, strategic interactions. Key Topics Influence from the middle in HRChanging perception of HR rolesConnecting HR work to business outcomesBuilding relationships before you need themUsing storytelling and data to influence Find out more about the upcoming cohort designed for HR Departments of One HERE Thank you for your continued support of the show and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!
