Quotes:

“[HR] are the ones that are distributing resources to employees and that have direct lines [of communication] between teams. . . . There’s a reason it’s called ‘Human Resources’: you need the resources, but you also need the human.”

“Conversations about your journey as an employee—those are the conversations that HR is there for and excited to take part in.”
