Over the course of this year, HR professionals have played a critical role in leading their organizations through some of the toughest workplace challenges they’ve ever faced. They have taken unprecedented measures to keep their employees safe while navigating through significant variability in business needs; the shift to remote work; and the need for new processes around recruitment, communications, and talent management. Every day, they have shown up and worked around the clock to help their companies survive this period of uncertainty.

She asked the audience a few different questions and provided some food for thought.
