Regarding what they would recommend to professionals who take on the role of CHRO in a new company today, these were the 3 pieces of advice:

What is clear is that there is no time to lose. Consuelo highlights the need for a balance between deep changes and "quick wins." Her golden advice: listen to your people. They have deep knowledge of what works and what doesn’t in the organization.
