Dave Strange from, Strange HR Consulting,
will be presenting "From Policy to People: How HR Can Truly Connect

Session Description: In today’s ever-evolving workplace, employees expect more than policies and procedures—they want authentic connection, open communication, and trust. Yet for many, “HR” still carries a stigma that creates distance rather than engagement.

This session explores practical, real-world strategies for HR professionals to build genuine connections with employees while maintaining professionalism and appropriate boundaries. Learn how to use transparency effectively—sharing enough to build trust without oversharing—and discover ways to make HR more approachable, trusted, and human.

Through actionable tactics and relatable examples, we’ll unpack how HR can move from being seen as the department of “no” to the team employees turn to for guidance, growth, and support.
