Americans are living through a time of rapid change and uncertainty that’s altering the features and culture of the workplace: from a global pandemic and political protest to a new wave of social justice reform and economic tumult that included the great resignation, and now a nation-wide hiring freeze.

HR departments, now more and more frequently (and more appropriately) being referred to as People Operations, are responsible for more than just recruiting, hiring, and standard employee benefits.
