Show Notes

My guest this episode is Kayshia Kruger, who is the organization development director for a small organization in North Carolina.  She shares how she has created, from the ground up, the organization development function in her organization of about 300 employees.  We discuss some of the interesting projects she is engaged in currently such as employee engagement, learning & development, leadership development, and change management.  A fascinating aspect of her role is how progressive her organization has been in terms of leveraging Organization Development.  She also shares how the Organization Development function is a completely separate function and is not part of the Human Resource department, which is somewhat unique, especially for a smaller organization.
