In this first episode of Insights, we're exploring some of the biggest issues we face in today's workplace with Emplify CEO and Co-founder Santiago Jaramillo (@santiagojara).

First, how do you understand what your people actually need? And second, why should the CEO care?

It all begins with the employee experience and understanding where that story starts.

In this episode, you'll hear from Roberta Matuson, (@Matuson), President of Matuson Consulting, a former human resources (HR) director who now runs her own firm.

Roberta stresses that HR can no longer be an afterthought - if a CEO wants to create a people-first organization then they have to invite HR to the table. [And the seat can't just be CEO-mandated, it has to be CEO-supported.]

How can a CEO empower a team to be more strategic when thinking about the HR role? How does the HR team then, in tandem, support the company goals?

Find out on this week's episode of Insights, a series by Emplify.
