Thank you so much for the support — I can’t wait to put this book in your hands!
SUMMARY of the book
Human resources (HR) is about being human…right? We don’t just have AI analyzing job applications, companies conducting performance reviews via anonymous surveys or “no-reply” addresses sending generic rejection emails. Or…are we missing something here?
It’s time to un-“Karen” the way we look at and manage HR. In this book, aka Emily’s challenge to the status quo, you’ll discover:
how to rethink outdated 9-5 norms
how to properly compensate (and appreciate the heck out of) your staff
how to embrace flexibility and prioritize mental health
what it really means to put the “human” back into human resources
and so much more!
In this no-filter, as Gen Z as you can get, entertaining book, Emily will guide you through what it takes to create meaningful, human-centered work environments.
