James Rosseau to Share Insight on LegalShield's Human Resources Transformation at HARRT at UCLA Retreat

James Rosseau, chief commercial officer of LegalShield, will share how the company elevated its human capital practices at the HARRT at UCLA Retreat on October 20. Rosseau will share the results of LegalShield's focus on two areas in particular: deepening relationships and collaborative problem-solving. LegalShield is one of North America's leading providers of affordable legal plans and identity theft solutions for individuals, families and small businesses.

A 45-year-old company, LegalShield undertook a cultural transition when it was acquired by private-equity firm Midocean partners a few years ago. CEO Jeff Bell, Rosseau and other members of the executive team have developed a high-performing culture, one that empowers employees at every level and enables them to accountably solve problems, create new approaches and collaborate at greater levels than before. They worked to deepen relationships among people by establishing and sustaining new habits: conducting two regular practices, Personal/Professional Check-ins and scheduling Long, Slow Dinners, have been key to the company's transformation.

"Deepening relationships across the company through simple practices-the Personal/Professional Check-ins and Long, Slow Dinners-has revolutionized the way we do business at LegalShield," explained Rosseau. "These seemingly simple, effective practices have been a crucial part of our overall efforts to boost collaborative problem-solving. They might be challenging to integrate and accept at first, but having regular discussions as paved the way for the sustained growth we've achieved at LegalShield."

The company has seen its membership rise monthly for the last 10 months. It now protects more than 1,681,000 individuals, families and businesses through its legal plans, and its IDShield identity-protection service has seen unprecedented growth, especially since the announcement several weeks ago of the Equifax credit-reporting data breach.

The HARRT at UCLA Retreat 2017 will take place at Park Hyatt Aviara from October 19 through October 21. Senior leaders from leading companies and academic experts will discuss human resources topics, including innovation, technology, leadership and valuing millennials in the workplace.
