Why "HR" Became "People" (with Monica Panetta)

"I always knew there was more. I always knew there was a different dimension to what this personnel or HR thing was." - Monica Panetta

Monica Panetta, Chief People Officer at ParetoHealth (a show sponsor and the company I work for), joined me for an evening podcast in studio as we talked all things HR/People, starting with why the industry has moved away from saying HR.

Monica’s so well-versed in the field that she actually started the HR program at her college as she was attending it, and the curriculum is still taught today. We talk how she got started in the field, how the field has evolved post-COVID, and how she made her way to Pareto.

Join us this week to find out a bit about Pareto, and a lot about what it means to be a Chief People Officer.
