Most executives think of HR as an order window. Fire this person. Hire that one. Fix the culture. Improve the managers. But underneath that fictional menu is a function absorbing things no one ever puts on a report: the weight of every employee's hardest moments, handled quietly, while still being expected to move the business forward.

In part one of this two-part conversation, we pull back the curtain on what HR actually carries.

Topic Highlights:

– Why treating HR like an order menu is the most expensive mistake executives make

– What HR partnership actually looks like

– The value of involving HR in strategy upfront

– Why shifts in employee output might not be about performance

– The most underused resource in your benefits package
