HR Labs season 4 is here!
We’re excited to share this fun new season of the Cornerstone original podcast for HR Leaders. This season we’re focused on what it will take to rebuild work in a way that works for everyone.
It’s no secret that the way we work has changed over the last few years, and people are thinking differently about what they want from their jobs.
In this season of HR Labs, host Summer Salomonsen talks with HR leaders and experts from organizations like McKinsey, Amazon and Deutsche Post DHL. Together with her guests, Summer will explore topics like learning, skills, career growth, AI, equity and more to understand how we can build a more connected workplace.
Episode 1: Let’s rebuild work
In our first episode, Carly Cooper, head of culture and transformation at Vianai Systems, joins Summer to talk all about the connection between HR and culture, the components that make up a solid organizational culture and how talent leaders can lead the way when it comes to rebuilding the way we work.
“For HR, your customer is your employee. What will set them up for success?" Cooper continues, "So what can the organization do for every individual to reach their potential which ultimately helps the organization reach its potential?”
Employees are demanding more from your organization than fair wages, improved benefits plans and flexible work schedules. They’re seeking an opportunity to actually change their lives, develop new skills and careers, and find acceptance, purpose and belonging.

The Equity Advantage: Why equity matters
In my last article, I unpacked Cornerstone's first DEIB Principle: DEIB is good for everyone, highlighting the story of Ed Roberts, a pioneer for disability inclusion. His work resulted in onramps on public sidewalks at all intersections, enabling the inclusion of those with mobility challenges in public spaces. Just as these onramps created equity and inclusion for people with wheelchairs, organizations must ensure that their talent processes, and the decision-makers who run those processes, create 'onramps' for marginalized people whose talent, aspiration and opportunity are too often 'curbed' by the systemic barriers inherent in our society and organizations.
