Description
Heroes of HR is a podcast for HR, payroll, and talent leaders navigating the real challenges of today’s workforce.
Each episode features candid conversations with leaders from growing, people-intensive organizations who are managing hiring, retention, compliance, payroll and change in real time.
We talk about what’s top of mind, what’s working, what’s not and how they’re leading through workforce complexity without losing sight of the people behind it. If you’re building teams, supporting managers and solving operational challenges every day, you’ll hear something familiar and useful in every episode.
