Episode 23: Leading with Transparency: Building a People-First Culture at Scale

In this episode of HR After Dark, Marcia and Meghan sit down with David Beattie, Executive Vice President at PeopleShare, to talk candidly about leading a 50+ person team across multiple states while staying rooted in transparency, culture, and trust.
