# The HR Connection Podcast with Sabrina Baker Page: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891 Text version: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891.md RSS feed: https://feed.podbean.com/hrconnectionwithsabrinabaker/feed.xml Official site: https://hrconnectionwithsabrinabaker.podbean.com Author: Sabrina Baker Episodes: 58 ## Resource The HR Connection Podcast with Sabrina Baker is your go-to resource for all things HR in the small business world. This podcast is designed especially for those wearing multiple hats—whether you’re the only HR person at your company, a business owner figuring out HR as you go, or someone who just got handed the HR file and a wish for good luck. Typically designed for those managing HR in a 1-500 headcount firm, although we often talk about navigating life in the less than 100 space because we know that is the space where the most nuance, and most chaos, exists. Each episode will bring real talk (no corporate fluff), practical advice, and helpful insights from Sabrina, and occasionally other members of the Acacia team who truly understand the ups and downs of HR in companies with 1 to 500 employees because they are doing the work every single day. Think of it as your HR support system. One that actually gets what it’s like to do this work in a small business setting. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891.md ## Episodes - [3 Reasons I Stopped Going to HR Conferences](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/3-reasons-i-stopped-going-to-hr-conferences) — 2026-07-29T14:30:00+00:00 - [The Tool Often Dismissed That Changed How My Teams Communicate](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/the-tool-often-dismissed-that-changed-how-my-teams-communicate) — 2026-07-22T15:30:00+00:00 - [The Termination I Handled Correctly That Still Ended in a Lawsuit.](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/the-termination-i-handled-correctly-that-still-ended-in-a-lawsuit) — 2026-07-15T14:30:00+00:00 - [Onboarding in a Small Business: How to Make It Work When Nobody Has Time](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/onboarding-in-a-small-business-how-to-make-it-work-when-nobody-has-time) — 2026-07-08T15:00:00+00:00 - [What Happens to HR When the Owner Is the Problem](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/what-happens-to-hr-when-the-owner-is-the-problem) — 2026-07-01T14:45:00+00:00 - [Running HR Without Backup - What Actually Works](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/running-hr-without-backup-what-actually-works) — 2026-06-24T14:30:00+00:00 - [HR Can't Fix What Leadership Won't Own](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/hr-can-t-fix-what-leadership-won-t-own) — 2026-06-17T14:45:00+00:00 - [The Policy Gaps That Gets Small Businesses Sued](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/the-policy-gaps-that-gets-small-businesses-sued) — 2026-06-10T07:00:00+00:00 - [What No One Tells You About Being the Only HR Voice in the Room](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/what-no-one-tells-you-about-being-the-only-hr-voice-in-the-room) — 2026-06-03T14:30:00+00:00 - [In the Trenches - Caitlin Sampson](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/in-the-trenches-caitlin-sampson) — 2026-05-27T19:00:00+00:00 - [Paying People Right When You Don't Have a Comp Team](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/paying-people-right-when-you-don-t-have-a-comp-team) — 2026-05-20T19:00:00+00:00 - [The Policy Nobody Talks About Until They Need It](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/the-policy-nobody-talks-about-until-they-need-it) — 2026-05-13T19:00:00+00:00 - [Performance Management That Doesn't Make Everyone Hate You](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/performance-management-that-doesn-t-make-everyone-hate-you) — 2026-05-05T12:00:00+00:00 - [In the Trenches: Ivette Mills](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/in-the-trenches-ivette-mills) — 2026-04-29T19:00:00+00:00 - [Hiring Without a Recruiting Team](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/hiring-without-a-recruiting-team) — 2026-04-22T19:00:00+00:00 - [The Handbook Nobody Reads — And How to Fix That](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/the-handbook-nobody-reads-and-how-to-fix-that) — 2026-04-15T19:00:00+00:00 - [The HR Audit Framework Small Business Practitioners Actually Need](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/the-hr-audit-framework-small-business-practitioners-actually-need) — 2026-04-08T19:00:00+00:00 - [HR Support Options Most Small Businesses Don't Know About](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/hr-support-options-most-small-businesses-don-t-know-about) — 2026-04-01T19:00:00+00:00 - [The HR Tech Guide Nobody Made (So We Did)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/the-hr-tech-guide-nobody-made-so-we-did) — 2026-03-25T19:00:00+00:00 - [When the World Is on Fire, HR Still Has to Show Up](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/when-the-world-is-on-fire-hr-still-has-to-show-up) — 2026-03-18T19:00:00+00:00 - [HR Department of One?
