Subscribe to the Amplify Digest: a weekly newsletter designed to help modern HR operators stay on top of the latest news, trends, and resources in all things people.

Welcome to the Amplify Digest. Every week, I break down five articles in five minutes; discussing the top people news, stories, and resources that are worth your time. Scroll down for links to the articles covered in the video (and more), a helpful thread from the Amplify Accelerator Community, and curated jobs from the Amplify Job Board.

This week’s digest explores FirstRound's piece on battling burnout, hiring for skills, tech layoffs, the cost of retention is worth it, and the season finale of the Redefining HR podcast with Microsoft Chief People Officer Kathleen Hogan.

Welcome to a new series in the Amplify Digest newsletter - Build in Public.

We have an official launch date! The Amplify Academy will launch Wednesday, June 29, 2022. This is the biggest platform I’ve ever launched so I’ll be honest I have some nerves at the work between now and then. I know that a firm date will be my motivation to get it done.

Speaking of getting it done, I’m deep in build mode for the first full course in the Accelerator - a guide for first times Heads of People. It was the clear winner when I surveyed my community so I’m excited to see it come together. This is going to be a robust resource including video, audio, templates, resources, and more.

Last week I updated the Academy page on the Amplify website so you can view all the channels on one page. I need to trim the copy a bit before it’s final. You can check it out below if interested.
