Taking HR From Paper-first to People-first with Tracie Sponenberg

Or wherever you get your podcasts

People, not policies. 

This is the major shift that our guest, Tracie Sponenberg, is looking to enact in HR departments around the world. ModernHR is more than just compliance, it’s about connecting with community and designing experiences for workers so they can do the best work of their lives and feel true satisfaction in their roles. 

Tracie is Chief People Officer at The Granite Group and a highly sought after keynote speaker who specializes in helping HR departments move from a “paper-first” to “people-first” model. As a long time practitioner Tracie has over 25 years of experience helping organizations focus on culture, authenticity, and transparency. She is the recipient of the 2022 Boston HR Council Speaker of the Year Award, the global 2022 and 2021 OnCON Global Icon Top 50 Human Resources Professional Awards and the 2019 RY Perry HR Hero Award.

“HR needs to be passionate about the people experience. We can design journeys and implement employee feedback models to design experiences that they truly love.”

In this episode we get a glimpse into how Tracie found her place in HR and how she was able to move from “Karen in HR,” to “Caring HR,” through empathizing with her workforce and building experiences that brought the best out in them. 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Thanks, as always, for tuning in to our show.
