HR Superstars

Just as we want to create a transformational outcome for our customers with our products and services, we want to create a transformational employee experience. In fact, the two are inextricably linked.

As we’ve crafted our culture, one of the foundational aspects that we know is critical to creating transformation and improving people’s lives is our relationships.

How do we build a transformational culture where people feel valued?

In this episode of HR Superstars, hosts David Hassell and Shane Metcalf dive into the topic of relational mastery.

What they talked about:

• How creating space for hard conversations leads to healthier culture.
• How to communicate clearly and compassionately.
• Practices that are key to conflict resolution.
