Today’s podcast is part of a series on the Workology Podcast focused on the role and responsibilities of the Chief Human Resources Officer, or CHRO. The CHRO is an executive or C-level role that deals with managing human resources, as well as with organizational development and implementing policies of change to improve the overall efficiency of the company. The CHRO Podcast series on Workology is powered by HUB International. One of the reasons I wanted to do this series is because there is a lot of mystery around the CHRO role. I want aspiring CHRO’s to know what type of skills and experiences they need to promote into a future CHRO role along with hearing from senior HR leadership how they are partnering and collaborating with their executive peers.
Episode 256: The Role of the CHRO in the First 90 Days with Michelle Mitchell (@MichelleMitchell)
How do CHRO’s help keep the “human” in human resources? How do we interact with our workforce in a meaningful way? How do we renew our passion for the work? In this interview I dive into the subject of being a new CHRO and returning to the workforce after a hiatus, plus why getting on Great Place to Work lists can benefit companies and employees. I talked with Michelle Mitchell, Chief Human Resources Officer at Aryaka Networks. Michelle has two decades of HR experience, but her CHRO role at Aryaka is a new one and we’ll talk about her first 90 days on the job and what she’s been focused on.
