HR as a strategic partner for your business success The Small Business Association of Michigan’s Small Business Weekly Podcast

- Business
On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Lisa Cooper, Chief People Officer for the Cooper People Group. “As we came out of the pandemic, we saw organizations really understand the value of HR,” she says. “HR sort of led the charge during the pandemic, in terms of culture, communication, health and safety, COBRA and unemployment, and all the things that many of us have dealt with. We really leveraged ourselves as strategic partners within the business units that we have the pleasure of serving, and for organizations that are perhaps too small to have their own dedicated HR resource.”
The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community. We have been successfully serving small businesses like yours in all 83 counties of Michigan since 1969. We’re located in Lansing, just one block from the Capitol.
Our mission is to help Michigan small businesses succeed by promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging buying power and engaging in political advocacy. When small businesses band together through the Small Business Association of Michigan, they achieve more than they could on their own.
Our 32,000 members are as diverse as Michigan's economy. From accountants to appliance stores, manufacturers to medical, and restaurants to retailers, what unites the SBAM membership is the spirit of entrepreneurship…a spirit that drove you to start and continue to operate your own business because you believe you can do something better than anyone else is doing it!
