Somewhere in Europe... Who loves to travel?? I certainly do! True story ~ My luggage has always arrived with the plane, except during a long flight to Denmark. With a fast turnover in Amsterdam, my carefully packed and overloaded "checked" bag didn't quite make the transfer. Over tired from lack of sleep, I'm at the baggage claim waiting for a suitcase that isn't coming. Everyone else has left the terminal, and as I meander over to the service desk and attempt to understand how I will recover my belongings, I begin to clearly see my error. Needless to say...I'm in uncharted territories. Foreign country. No toothbrush. No change of clothes. 12 hours into overnight travel. No real sleep. If you're a small business entrepreneur, executive, business leader...imagine you're at the crossroads of an employment issue, you didn't pack a carryon bag with a change of clothes because you've never had a reason to before. But guess what, today you have a reason. Someone is claiming harassment or they're asking what is the attendance or dress code policy? Or maybe you're thinking what are the business's mission, vision, and values? As your business grows, you will need more than just a checked bag to get to your final destination and to be ready for the next day. That's where I can help. I always thought I was a seasoned traveler, but I quickly understood I had made a rookie error in Denmark! As your HR professional, I'm here to ensure that you're not navigating employment challenges on your own. Let's partner together. Consider me your travel insurance for you and your business, where you'll have the confidence to meet your business and employment challenges head-on. I'm here for you and I'm here to help. In closing...I did find my luggage at a holding warehouse day 4 of 7. #platinumHRconsulting #leadership #fractional
