The Modern People Leader: Forward-Thinking HR - A podcast by The Modern People Leader
Categories:
Kristen Barbor, VP, Global HR at Groupon, joined us on The Modern People Leader. We touched on a lot: how to be human on the HR side during tough times, how consensus-driven decision-making can be detrimental, and Groupon’s employee engagement strategy. Timestamps: being human during tough times goes a long way (13:40), using creativity as a secret weapon in HR (21:08), why consensus-driven decision making can be detrimental at times (23:30), deep-dive into Groupon’s employee engagement strategy (27:20), creating task forces to drive action after employee engagement surveys (33:50), and rebuilding and reenergizing Groupon’s workforce (39:17).
