Description:

“We’ve got to meet employees where they are,” says Jacqueline Williams-Roll, CHRO of General Mills. As the post-pandemic workforce transitions from remote to a more permanent hybrid model, The Conference Board C-Suite Outlook reveals that CEOs are concerned about the impact on company culture. What will this hybrid workforce look like? “The truth is, no one really knows,” says Williams-Roll. “But what we do know is simple: employees want flexibility.” In a new episode of CEO Perspectives, President and CEO Steve Odland sits down with Williams-Roll to discuss big changes in the way we work and the role of the CHRO in managing these changes. Tune in for insights on:

  • Going hybrid without sacrificing corporate culture: General Mills has launched a new initiative called “Work with Heart” that aims to keep its workforce connected and creative.
  • The role of teams in a hybrid workforce: Giving individual teams the opportunity to pivot in the direction that is best for them will ensure that flexibility doesn’t mean waste or isolation.
  • The role of the CHRO in corporate strategy: As the human resources function grows, CHROs need business acumen more than ever. “I don’t want to be able to pick out the HR person in the room,” says Williams-Roll. Courage and a gift for listening are also necessary assets.
