    What HR Mistakes Can Actually Get Your Company Sued? (#1)
    Jun 10 2026
    HR risk usually starts earlier than most business leaders think. In this episode of Up In Your Business, host Jason Randall sits down with Christy Arnold, General Counsel and SVP at Questco, to talk about the HR mistakes that can create real legal, financial, and operational risk for employers. The conversation covers misclassification, hiring technology, documentation, terminations, inconsistent policies, and manager training. But the larger theme is simpler: small people issues rarely stay small when they are ignored. A delayed conversation, an undocumented performance issue, a misclassified employee, or an inconsistently applied policy can turn into an EEOC charge, demand letter, lawsuit, or years of expensive distraction. Christy explains where these problems usually begin, why leaders often miss the early warning signs, and what companies can do to reduce risk without turning HR into unnecessary bureaucracy.
