The Top 10 People + Strategy Articles for 2024
As we flip the calendar to a new year, we're taking a look back at the People + Strategy Brief's most-read articles of 2024. This top 10 list highlights a year of intense change, conflict, and shifts in the workforce.
In this episode of the People + Strategy podcast, we talk to John Barrand, CHRO for the state of Utah. Barrand shares how he developed a passion for helping people “disagree better” and dispels four common myths about disagreements, including the belief that being a good person means disagreeing less.
HR executives are increasingly being called on to lead transformations of their organizations and HR departments. The Winter 2025 issue highlights compelling insights, personal profiles, and unique research into the HR transformations that are shaping the future of work—and the CHROs who are leading this impactful change.
The November EN:Insights Forum featured Jennifer Hilliard, vice president of human resources at the consulting firm CGI, as she shared her insights on the barriers to female advancement in the workplace. Despite significant progress, women continue to face gender bias and underrepresentation, making the creation of inclusive leadership opportunities more critical than ever.
