What gets people to stay more nowadays is great leadership in all aspects. Few people understand this better than Forcepoint CHRO Laurie O’Brien, who found herself being the most senior people leader in a massive organization during an unprecedented crisis. There was no playbook for Laurie during this pivotal time and she had to muster all her leadership powers to get the organization through.

Tune in and get some fresh perspectives on how HR leadership has fundamentally changed and what changes it still has to expect moving forward.
