"Love them anyway." The reminder was simple, but powerful: leadership is not about caring for people only when they are easy to work with. Great leaders choose to care for them even when they are not.

What stood out throughout the presentation was Deidre Riley Bradley, SPHR, CEC's compassion for people. Whether celebrating employee successes, navigating workplace challenges, or supporting individuals through difficult moments such as layoffs, her message was centered on treating people with dignity, empathy, and respect.

Bay Area Houston Transportation Partnership - BayTran was honored to attend and connect with HR professionals from across the Bay Area. We also had the opportunity to discuss the Commute Solutions program, administered by the Houston-Galveston Area Council, and how employers can support their workforce through transportation options such as carpooling, vanpooling, transit, biking, walking, and more.

Thank you to Texas Bay Area SHRMand Deidre Bradley for an inspiring and impactful presentation. The reminder was simple, but powerful: people may not always be easy, but great leaders choose to care for them anyway.

It's FIFA World Cup time in Houston! TxDOT is reminding fans to celebrate responsibly by always finding a sober ride if you are planning to attend one of the games or watch away from home.

Too often, a designated driver is chosen during the course of the evening and is often considered the least intoxicated person in the group. The designated driver should always be a sober driver who has not consumed any amount of alcohol.

Designating a driver, calling a taxi, using a rideshare service, staying where you are, calling a friend or family member, and using mass transit are the safest ways to ensure you do not drive under the influence.

Let's enjoy and celebrate safely!
