Background
Mr. Phin has been a California employment practices attorney now for 30
years. He litigated cases for 17 years, including whistle-blower cases,
wrongful discharge, discrimination and harassment, wage and hour, and other
claims. At that point, he decided to help employees and companies avoid
destructive scenarios. He learned the best way to do that is through great
human resources (HR) practices including hiring, retention, productivity,
training, and more.
As a result, in 2001 Mr. Phin started up HR That Works, which he sold to
ThinkHR in 2014 and served as its vice president for 2 years. He is now
president at HRSherpas, Inc. He is the coeditor of the EPLiC journal published
by IRMI and authors the Compliance and Culture newsletter. In addition, Mr.
Phin has done turn-around consulting, ran a high-end HR mastermind group,
self-published seven books on the workplace, and presented to hundreds of chief
executive officer, HR, and insurance groups about inspiring great HR practices.
Mr. Phin is a 1983 graduate of the McGeorge School of Law.
