In this episode, Donald is joined by Everette Taylor, Chief Executive Officer at Kickstarter and Elisa Colombani, Chief People Officer at Artsy to discuss how employers should understand the alignment between a business strategy and its people. Donald, Everette and Elisa also share their thoughts on why transparency matters and why companies must adopt a top-down approach when empowering their teams. 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.
