As fitness managers, most of us understand the importance of working with our human resources teams to ensure we understand. We can communicate our compensation and benefits plans, but what about when things get dicey? Do you know the federal, state, and local employment laws? Do you know that you can be held accountable for if there is an issue with employee treatment or termination?

I am excited to interview Human Resources expert and consultant Katie Santos, owner of FitnessHR, to learn why it's important for fitness managers to get involved with the human resource teams at their facilities and how to ensure they are up to speed.

Questions I ask Katie:
1) Why is it important for Fitness Managers to get involved with their Human Resources departments and teams?
2) What are the biggest HR mistakes you see Fitness Managers make?
3) What advice do you have for Fitness Managers to navigate convincing upper management and ownership about investing in the management team's HR education?
