People Problems

This one gets a little trippy, kids! We go down a tie-die colored rabbit hole of sorts with reformed actuary Stephen Huang – former Head of D&I at CultureAmp and Owner of Millennial HR Design. He’s interested in the intersection of HR and… psychedelics, which we’re super interested in as well, obviously. This episode is a kind of collective experience, dude.

Joined by Ryan Bond - Chief People Officer of Thrive Restaurant Group – and possible future guru, he tells us about the employee ‘mindsets’ his group has used to noticeably improve profitability and do more and better work with almost a thousand fewer employees than a year ago. Tyson called our chat ‘HR poetry’ (for reals)… we hate to play favorites - but this episode is up there.

Tyson has a cat on a leash and we speak to Amanda Turberville - Global Head of HR at Montway – about how her design and art background led her to HR. Good Segway? We cover the beginning of vaccine mandates by large employers, how art and other disciplines can create a great background for People, HR for fighters, and how to deal with defensive/aggressive employees. Great Segway. We nail it on this one.
