What’s the People Leadership paradox?

HR, the people tasked with driving outcomes via all the other individuals at the company, are often set up for failure. Employees are an organization’s largest expense and also the most important driver for achieving your goals. Shouldn’t companies be empowering HR to succeed?

Helping employees thrive within the confines of a budget, performance standards, and compensation parameters is a paradox many people leaders face, and Julie Rogers joins the show to discuss performance in the context of the evolving employee engagement landscape.

She also dives into challenges people leaders face, how to build trust between your people and organization, and best practices for developing lasting engagement.

• [05:00] The evolution of employee engagement
• [08:00] Understanding the value of people data
• [10:30] Defining employee engagement
