About this episode

In this episode, Kimberly Prescott and employment attorney Morgan Thomas Harried discuss the roles of HR and legal in organizations and the importance of both.

In this episode of HR and Cocktails, Kimberly Prescott sits down with employment attorney Morgan Thomas Harried of Gordon Feinblatt, LLC to unpack when you need HR, when you need an attorney, and why most organizations actually need both. They talk about the limits of Google and AI for HR decisions, how wage transparency and leave laws really play out in practice, and how HR handles day-to-day implementation while legal keeps you compliant. We discuss these topics…and of course, we talk about cocktails, including an apple cider old fashioned.
