The Greenhouse podcast: People-first, featuring Chris Rainey and Natasha Rainey
People-first companies prioritize their people and foster a culture of hiring. They understand that people are their most valuable asset, so they treat all their people practices – especially hiring – as strategic, rather than administrative, functions. On the Greenhouse podcast: People-first, join host Donald Knight, Chief People Officer at Greenhouse, as he sits down with individuals at innovative organizations to discover how these companies prioritize their people.
In this episode, Donald is joined by Chris Rainey, Founder & CEO of HR Leaders and host of the HR Leaders podcast, and Natasha Rainey, Founder of All Inclusive Media and host of the All Inclusive Podcast. Listen as Donald, Natasha, and Chris get real about how important it is to lead with empathy. You'll also learn how employers can build trust by being vulnerable and authentic.
People-first leadership is making sure that your employees feel comfortable, valued and supported.”
