TODAY'S GUEST:

Renee’s HR journey began in 1996 when I answered a newspaper ad looking for a “people person.” She faxed in her resume and landed a job as a headhunter, now called an executive recruiter. Since then, she’s worked across all areas of HR, but for the past 15 years, she has focused on career development and employee engagement. After experiencing toxic workplaces and seeing too many talented people feel stuck, Renee made it her mission to make work better. Today, she helps people and organizations align with the 11 Engagement Drivers for Employee Happiness - because engagement drives results.
