HR is Burned Out. What Should We Do?

In this special episode, join Unmuted Podcast host, Jeff Waldman, as he takes you behind the scenes of the recent Tech Talent North Toronto conference (October 24, 2023), hosted by TAP Network. Jeff sat down with Amy Tailby, Senior Leader, Total Rewards where we talked about how HR in Tech is burned out, and what we need to do to change this. In March 2020, the COVID-19 global health pandemic hit our shores and our organizations shifted and changed overnight. Leaders turned to HR to lead the way through this unprecedented time. Not only was HR at "the table", but they were also "leading it". Not only were we seeing an explosion in employee burnout, exhaustion and mental health challenges, but the same things were happening to HR. We are now more than 3 years removed from the start of the pandemic and we are seeing this burnout trend reversing. It came without its consequences, and we need to take a pause and learn from this experience. Watch the full episode as Amy talks about what we need to do to reverse this trend.
