Human resources (HR) often gets a bad rap.\n
\n\nWhether it\u2019s forcing people back into the office after a pandemic or mismanagement of legitimate employee grievances around issues related to identity (race and gender, for example), it seems like someone always has a bone to pick with HR.\n
\n\nJoseph Ifiegbu is out to change that. Leveraging next-gen HR analytics, Joseph and his team at Eqtble are helping companies understand and address challenges around attrition, DEI, employee engagement, and a whole host of other factors that affect their growth.\n
\n\nIn this episode, Joseph shared great examples of companies that have solved acute problems with pay equity gaps and lagging hiring timelines using the HR tech that his team supplies. His work is chock full of stories about HR data being used to shift culture and improve processes!\n
\n\nUltimately, Joseph noted that the seismic shifts we\u2019ve seen in the workplace\u2013supported by recent HR tech innovations\u2013have been long overdue as workplace preferences and priorities have shifted before, during, and after the pandemic.\n
\n\nWhen it came to the lightning round, Joseph astutely identified empathy as one of the key areas that he believes tech really can\u2019t solve for us as a human race. He also mentioned that he is\u2013like us\u2013a big fan of Notion as a tool for founders to grow their businesses through better knowledge management.\n
