    By Marta Chmielowicz

    2020 has been a whirlwind of a year and HR leaders have found themselves at the frontlines, leading the charge into a new and uncertain reality.

  • A Catalyst for Change

    – How the global pandemic will shift hiring practices as businesses start to recover.

    By Christina Loannou

    2020 has been a year of change, especially for HR teams across the U.S. as they navigate the effects of COVID-19.
