7 Years & 100 Episodes: A Milestone HR Leadership Conversation
The Hennessy Report celebrates its 100th episode by bringing back its first two guests - Dave is joined by Tracy Burns (CEO of NERA) and Beth Grous (CPO at Generate Biomedicines) - for an insightful discussion on how HR has evolved and where it's heading.
Key Highlights:
* How HR has transformed from an administrative function to a strategic business driver
* The evolution of workplace transparency, with younger generations expecting more open dialogue about compensation and company decisions
* The future of work: Breaking down traditional hierarchical structures and embracing skills-based organizational design
* The critical importance of leading with empathy in today's workplace
"I hope if we're sitting here 10 years from now, we'll be looking around saying 'wow, people got really innovative and creative about how they build organizational structures to drive a differentiated set of outcomes.'" - Beth Grous
Looking Ahead: Tracy and Beth both emphasized the need to "fix work" by creating more flexible, human-centric organizational structures that better support both business objectives and employee wellbeing.
In memory of Paul McKinlay.
