In today's episode, we're diving into HR's evolving role as a strategic force in the C-Suite. While the conversation around "getting a seat at the table" isn't new, what's changing is how HR is showing up—and standing out—as a key driver of business strategy. Joining us is KeyAnna Schmiedl, Chief Human Experiences Officer at Workhuman, whose work has been recognized by Forbes, Business Insider, and the Diversity Journal. Together, we'll explore how HR leaders can add value to executive-level conversations, elevate the human experience, and empower their teams for long-term impact. If you're ready to rethink what HR leadership looks like in 2025 and beyond, this episode is for you.
