Coaching Moment or Legal Problem? The Line Between HR and the Law

On this episode of Big Blend Radio's "California Employment Law" Podcast, San Diego employment attorney Ward Heinrichs sits down with Bernadette Jones, CEO and co-founder of Visionova HR, to map out where coaching ends and legal exposure begins — outdated handbooks, shadow AI in the workplace, the "keys to the kingdom" risk of one employee holding all the access, and what at-will employment actually protects (and doesn't) in California.
