It’s impossible for a company to thrive if their People team isn’t thriving.

Description

The inspiration for the second debate in this episode comes from a thought-provoking post by Vaso Parisinou, Chief People Officer at Ravio. Parisinou highlights a paradox within People teams: they are tasked with retention yet face high turnover themselves, manage compensation but experience declining salaries, and build career frameworks without having clear paths for their own growth. Ravio’s data reveals that roles like Talent Acquisition and People Partners have the highest turnover, while interim and fractional Head of People roles are on the rise, as seasoned professionals opt for flexibility. This raises a critical question: Can companies truly thrive if their People teams are not thriving? Perhaps it’s time to apply retention strategies internally.

This leads us to our second statement for debate: “It’s impossible for a company to thrive if their People team isn’t thriving.”
