“In Kentucky, HR professionals are at the forefront of guiding the workforce through the dynamic landscape of modern work. These leaders have tackled intricate post-pandemic business hurdles, from crafting ethical policies for telework and artificial intelligence use to opening space for employees to discuss and prioritize mental health. HR professionals persistently devise tactics to attract, recruit, and retain top-tier talent. Serving as invaluable strategic allies to CEOs, HR professionals propel Kentucky’s employers forward with adaptive advantage,” said KYSHRM Chair, Patricia Williams, SHRM-SCP.
According to Kentucky Chamber President and CEO, Ashli Watts, “The Kentucky Chamber is proud to offer the Best Places to Work in Kentucky program, which provides a perfect venue to recognize employers that are doing their part to make the Commonwealth the best state in the nation to live, work, and do business.”
