We’d love to know about some of your most common workplace challenges you’ve faced over the years. How would you advise senior level HR leaders within the B2B/tech industry to address these same challenges?

“The whole structure and approach of HR must be very adaptive and scalable which can be challenging given there is a sequence to how processes and HR programs are built and rolled-out. Communication and expectations management are key here to make sure our internal customers understand how much time things take before some ROI can be seen and also that they must play their part as they are a co-driver in many HR activities.”
