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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T04:18:25.001652+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 3: If HR Feels Broken, Start Here","slug":"episode-3-if-hr-feels-broken-start-here","published_at":"2026-02-18T19:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/episode-3-if-hr-feels-broken-start-here","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891","url":"https://hrconnectionwithsabrinabaker.podbean.com/e/episode-3-if-hr-feels-broken-start-here/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/hjcza8q5g78s9fia/Pod_216266zd4f.mp3","summary":"If you’ve ever stepped into an HR role and felt like everything was a mess, you’re not alone.
