This podcast episode of the features host Mark Edgar interviewing Ben Clarke, who transitioned from a 15-year career as a geologist to becoming an HR professional and executive coach. The conversation focuses on simplifying HR practices.
Ben advocates for HR simplification through building trust and focusing on employee needs. He shares how he restructured an HR team into two parts: a proactive team preventing issues and a responsive team handling immediate needs.
Ben suggests HR teams should focus on "mission clarity" - helping teams establish who they are, what they do, and how they do it.
