HR is one of the most visible functions at work and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Gina and Turiya are joined by Kim Zubrickas, Chief Human Resources Officer at Carl Buddig & Company, to explore how employees, leaders, and even other HR professionals perceive the function differently. We unpack why HR is often seen as enforcers or policy police, why leaders underutilize HR strategically, and where the profession sometimes holds itself back. Most importantly, we talk about how to close the gap and build more trust, clarity, and impact. Listen in for a candid conversation about the future of HR and the role we all play in shaping it. The countdown to our 100th episode is officially on! Follow HR unConfidential for updates about our in-person celebration coming in August 2026.
