The end of the year is often a time for reflection. The field of HR and people operations has much to reflect on from that past year (and the one before it).

I’m always curious to learn how people executives think about the future of the field. The future they’re creating.

What gives them hope?

What gets them excited?

How are they seizing this moment to reinvent the nature of work itself?

It became one of my most used closing questions for guests on the Redefining HR podcast this past season.

As we begin winding down 2021 and getting ready for 2022, I wanted to share some of those answers with you to close the year on a hopeful note for our field - and the leaders driving us into this new world of work.
