What are the services you use the most (or are looking forward to using) from the Columbus Chamber?

We are looking forward to the networking opportunities and the chance to make new connections with others in Columbus.

How do you stay engaged with trends that you see in your industry?

Through constant interaction with members, our association sees the trends as they develop in the industry. We host multiple monthly roundtables where HR professionals meet to discuss concerns, problems, and those budding trends. Our members also have unlimited access to our HR hotline, where they can speak with an expert about a current employee relations problem or HR best practices.

As we hear about the new developments and trends, we dig deeper and engage with our HR community to develop and instruct on how to meet those trends and challenges head on. For example, we will be hosting a webinar on October 13 on specific tools employers can use to prevent quiet quitting among their workforces. (For more information, you can find registration information for “Listen or Lose ‘Em – Thriving in the era of Quiet Quitting” at https://erahr.org/events/).

What is your company culture like?

We value our culture at ERA and constantly work on and nurture it. And we feel that we must practice what we preach. It starts with all our values being lived out and manifested in all we do. We are a relatively small but mighty company, eager always to get better, be there for each other, and make a huge positive impact on our members. As we are comprised of HR Experts, we have a very mature core and professional attitude while bringing strong solutions, relief, and dare I say fun to what we do. We truly love what we do and care a great deal about the relationships we build inside and outside the organization. When all is said and done, our culture is based on the satisfaction we get from deeply helping our member companies be successful.
