People Operations, aka Human Resources (HR), refers to strategically managing an organization's workforce.

It encompasses various functions, including talent acquisition, onboarding, performance management, employee relations, training and development, and compensation and benefits administration.

It also involves developing and implementing policies, processes, and programs that enhance employee productivity, well-being, and engagement.

By focusing on the holistic needs of employees, People Operations plays a vital role in fostering a positive and inclusive work environment while aligning workforce strategies with the business goals of the organization.

The High Top HR Approach

“Stakeholders make up a company. They include all the people who impact and are impacted by a business. We must honor them as people first before treating them according to the role they happen to be playing.”
