🔮Advice for future HR leaders:

"You need a clear strategy, and then expected behaviors that support the strategy. This created natural champions within the business units who could help communicate what the strategy was and then also bring it to life." - Jennifer Christian , Director of Corporate Learning at Farmers Insurance

"Create communities for your mid-level managers. They're tired, make sure that they have good connections within the organization, cut the noise out for them, and allow them the space to focus on the things that matter." - Maddie Walton , Senior Manager, Talent at Fiskars Group

"Use data to help create priorities for your managers' development." - Emily Killham , Senior Director, People Analytics, Research, & Insights at Perceptyx

"Really sit down and understand your priorities. What we will do and what we won't do is just as important. Communicate that and cascade it to our organization." - Kearney Fulton , Senior Director of People Analytics at Eli Lilly and Company

"Focus on coaching around trust. I think that is the bedrock for everything we're asking people to lean into." - Lee Andrews , Vice President, Global Head of TA & Executive Search at Haleon
