In this episode, I sat down with AirBnB Global Head of People Operations, Q Hamirani, to discuss his career and work at AirBnB. Our conversations covers:

• What drew Q to HR

• The value of role sharing

• How AirBnB architected their layoffs in the early days of the pandemic

• Designing work beyond the pandemic

• The importance of flexibility

• Optimizing synchronous/asynchronous work

You can also view the letter AirBnB CEO Brian Chesky wrote announcing the layoffs we discuss in this post.
