In this episode of True Stories at Work, host Michelle Aronson introduces Tracy, an HR executive who got her first HR job the good old fashioned way, nepotism... but absorbed everything and grew from that first big break.
Tracy reflects on her early 'black and white' thinking and the pivotal moment she was forced to report to a coworker she couldn't stand, only to discover a valuable mentor and friend. She shares her personal growth journey, echoing Taylor Swift's advice to sometimes look in the mirror to find the problem. Tracy's story also includes a romantic twist: meeting and marrying her husband at work, and how she navigated that tricky situation.
The discussion includes navigating love and career, dealing with managerial missteps, and the stark challenges HR professionals face pre- and post-pandemic.
Tune in for a blend of juicy, heartfelt, and insightful moments that reveal the true human side of HR.
