How is HR evolving in response to hybrid and remote work? HR is evolving from an administrative function into a strategic driver as hybrid and remote work become the norm. People operations now focus on designing flexible work models, enabling collaboration through technology, redefining performance around outcomes (not hours), and proactively supporting engagement, culture, and well-being across distributed teams.

What are your strategies for attracting and retaining top talent? Flexible Work Models – Offer hybrid and remote options that support work-life balance without sacrificing performance.
Clear Growth Paths – Provide transparent career progression, development plans, and upskilling opportunities.
Purpose & Culture – Build a culture of trust, inclusion, and alignment where people understand how their work matters.

How do you foster an inclusive and equitable workplace culture? We foster an inclusive and equitable workplace by designing fairness into how work is done, measured, and supported. We actively seek out and listen to every voice, creating multiple channels for feedback and ensuring input is valued and acted on. Clear expectations, consistent policies, and data help ensure equal access to opportunity, growth, and support for all employees.

What role does HR play in leadership development? HR plays a critical role in leadership development by identifying potential early, building clear development pathways, and equipping leaders with the skills needed to manage people effectively. People don’t usually quit companies—they quit managers—so HR helps ensure leaders are prepared, supported, and accountable for how they lead.

How do you measure employee engagement and satisfaction? I measure employee engagement and satisfaction by staying close to the people. I make time to speak with everyone and keep an open door so they can talk to me directly. We also review utilization and performance trends to spot changes early and address concerns before they grow.

What challenges do HR professionals face in today's environment? HR professionals face growing complexity across every part of the employee lifecycle—balancing hybrid work, rising employee expectations, increasing compliance demands, and limited resources. The biggest challenge is moving from reactive problem-solving to proactive people leadership, which is where MyHRAlly helps by providing insight, foresight, and answering up to 75% of day-to-day HR questions.
