and most important role of the HR team: to
find the balance between the needs of a
business and the needs of the employees.
As the pendulum swings between the
business need and employee need, HR
leaders must find a path to manage both,
bringing the wildly swinging pendulum
always back to the center.
It's both a work of fiction and a practical
guide, based on years of experience
and hundreds of conversations with HR
leaders from around the world.
It tells the fictional story of Jenn Clarke,
an experienced HR leader in a very
difficult position - trying to build a new
HR function while saving the company
she works for.
It also tells the stories of real-life HR
leaders, told from their point of view,
recounting the challenges they faced and
how they overcame them.
As Jenn's journey continues through the
book, the real-life examples provide new
perspectives on how to build a better
employee experience, how to meet
challenging business goals, and how to
balance the two - thus, centering
that pendulum.
