Summary:

Sophie Wyne is the Co-founder and CEO of Ariglad, a ticket and issue management software that uses AI to auto-triage employees’ HR-related messages. Though she has experience working in various industries, it was her time working in cybersecurity that ultimately inspired her to launch Ariglad in 2020. 

In this episode, Sophie tackles the big question of the moment: with increasing restrictions and limitations placed on HR teams, how can they continue to perform and possibly even improve? In other words, how can HR do more with less?

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.”
