Why is HR still treated like a support function instead of a core driver of business success? HR leaders don’t need to earn their seat at the executive table—it’s already theirs. But too often, they’re undermined, ignored, or left out of the conversations that shape the future of their companies. In this #BravelyReplay from the #WorkBravely Conference, Hebba Youssef and Sarah Sheehan talked about this disconnect. On one hand, HR is responsible for every single part of the employee experience—hiring, development, engagement, retention. On the other, their voices are still dismissed at the executive level. We agree with Hebba: your people are your biggest asset. And HR is the team responsible for making sure those people thrive. So why are we still sidelining the leaders who hold companies together? #hr #hrexecutive #hrleadership

Have you ever looked at the diversity of a company’s leadership team when deciding if you want to work there? In a conversation during the #WorkBravely Conference, Tony Bond, Chief Diversity and Innovation Officer at Great Place to Work, shared a powerful insight: soon-to-graduate students are assessing companies by looking at the leadership team, saying, 'If I don't see people who look like me on the executive team, I'm not interested in that company.' The next generation is making intentional choices about the spaces they want to be a part of. And honestly? They’re onto something important. Words matter, but actions—and representation—speak volumes. Building true diversity at the top is a visible sign of a company’s commitment, and ERGs (Employee Resource Groups) can be a powerful way to help make this a reality. By tapping into and nurturing talent within these groups, organizations can create pathways to leadership, fostering an inclusive pipeline that reflects the company’s values. So, as companies strive to attract top talent and build trust, it might be time to reflect: Does your leadership team reflect the diverse, inclusive values you promote? Are you leveraging ERGs to cultivate future leaders?

🗳️ Election day is here: What will you say to your team after the results come in? In times like these, the stakes feel high, and emotions can run deep. But as leaders, we have a choice—do we stay silent, or do we open up space for our teams to feel seen and supported? Kristen Swigart, PhD (Culture Amp) shared one hot take at last week's WorkBravely Conference. She shares some timely advice: approach these conversations with thoughtfulness and neutrality. Rather than reacting from a personal perspective, show up with a genuine desire to support your team. Instead of statements that can create division, acknowledge that this is a sensitive time for many—no matter the outcome—and create a safe space for everyone. Sometimes, a simple acknowledgment can make a big difference. “I recognize this is a tough time for many” can go a long way in helping your team feel supported and included. Offering resources like mental health days or EAPs can further show that you’re aware of the heightened sensitivities and are ready to support those who need it. As we navigate the coming days and weeks, let’s remember: we have the power to foster unity and prevent feelings of “otherness” in our workplaces.
