One of the realities of trucking is that the industry is filled with small- and medium-sized businesses. In this episode of the Grawe Pod, we will be exploring a number of the HR challenges that trucking operations with 100 employees or less must navigate within today’s business landscape. For an instructive discussion that covers a host of timely topics, Grawe Group Founder & CEO Doug Grawe is joined on this edition of the podcast by Human Resource experts Alisha Hanson and Ashley Brandbury, the Co-Founders of Build Your Roots HR.

Alisha and Ashley take listeners inside the critical support HR consulting offers businesses under 100 employees from recruitment to compliance. They also talk to us about building internal redundancies and seamless transitions in HR functions to avoid operational disruptions as well as the challenges of multi-state employment, including legal, payroll and onboarding differences.

The discussion includes noting the importance of staying on top of changes in laws and regulations, including on the state level, citing the implementation of a Minnesota state law covering paid family leave. In the final portion of the episode, Alisha and Ashley share their perspectives on how the growing use of AI is shaping HR, noting that companies need to begin strategies and policies that can be adaptable for the business as AI continues to evolve.

In the closing moments of the episode, Alisha shares a note about the next Capacity To Lead seminar that Build Your Roots HR will be hosting on June 17th in Bayport, Minnesota.
