In the latest HRchat episode, I talk with Jocelyn King, CEO and Founder of VirgilHR, a SaaS solution empowering HR professionals to make smart, compliant employment and labor law decisions in real-time.
HR has been the passion and focus of Jocelyn’s entire career as she’s supported high-growth technology start-ups and public companies throughout her tenure. She defines herself as a true HR generalist and has touched on all aspects of HR in her senior roles.
Jocelyn has strong expertise in creating and executing HR strategy, managing employee relations for multi-state and global organizations, developing a diverse and high-performing work culture, owning organization development and change management, and crafting the total reward, talent development, and talent acquisition strategies.
Questions for Jocelyn include:
- What unique challenges do HR professionals face when it comes to staying compliant with employment and labor laws, and how does VirgilHR address these issues differently from traditional methods?
- With the thousands of federal, state, and local laws constantly evolving, how does VirgilHR ensure that its platform remains up-to-date and accurate in real time?
- Any big compliance changes HR pros in the US can expect in the next 3-6 months?
- One key area for compliance is leave management and wage and hour laws. In one minute or less, how does VirgilHR support HR teams in navigating these complex areas?
- 1 in 10 employers is sued every year by their employees and US employers spend over $14B a year on outside legal counsel. How does VirgilHR’s solution reduce risk and liability for organizations, and what kind of feedback have you received from clients regarding reduced legal costs or avoided settlements?
- What advice would you give to HR leaders who are overwhelmed with compliance challenges?
