HR on the offensive
Real voices. Fresh thinking.
The HR on the Offensive podcast launched in March 2020 to explore insights from LACE Partners’ first whitepaper, challenging HR to ‘step out of the shadows’ and become a strategic driver of competitive advantage.
Since then, it’s grown into a platform for fresh thinking on all things HR—from hybrid working and inclusive hiring to reimagining performance culture.
