Insight in Indian Country Podcast
Trusted Expertise Serving Tribal Nations
Coming out of the pandemic, Tribal organizations are adjusting to hybrid/remote working models and searching for top talent. What is happening in the talent market today? And what actions best help employers attract and retain high performing team members?
This episode, REDW Principal and National Tribal Practice Leader Wes Benally meets with human resources consulting pros to help Tribal organizations navigate what many call “The Great Resignation.” (Though round here, we prefer to call it, “The Great Renegotiation…”). Wes is joined by Taryn Reynolds, Human Resource Generalist, and Laurel Roybal, Compensation Consultant, from REDW’s Human Resource Consulting team.
REDW LLC is proud to bring you the Insight in Indian Country Podcast, covering important advisory, accounting, and finance topics that impact Tribal Nations and their business affairs. We hope you enjoy listening!
