This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, we were joined by Melissa Harper from Bayer, a global life science company with over 100K employees in over 100 countries to talk about innovation in HR and how to keep your employees engaged during a tough operating environment. Melissa shared how Bayer HR supports the global workforce by listening to employees as they craft the “Next Normal” - encompassing decision making, personalization, and engaging employees in creating the way forward. Additionally, Melissa shared the makeup of the Bayer HR innovation function, and some of the roles and skills that encompass HR innovation and modern HR.
