Date / Time: Tuesday, November 18th @ 2pm ET / 11am PT

Let's face it — most leadership teams don't take HR seriously. When they think of HR, they think: Payroll & Benefits, Hiring & Firing, Policy Enforcement, Party Planning. They don't think: Strategic Business Partner.

If you're tired of being seen as a harmless pencil pusher at best and an out-of-touch distraction at worst, this is the webinar for you.

In this webinar, Ethena’s Chief People Officer, Melanie Naranjo, will explore a few hard truths, including why so many HR professionals struggle to command the same level of respect and influence as their x-functional peers, and how to turn things around.

You'll learn how to:

  • Build People strategies grounded in business goals
  • Focus on the right things (not the shiny distractions) and double down on what truly drives respect, influence, and results
  • Partner with the business, not against it so you can shift from policy enforcer to strategic ally who moves the company forward
