A
Retrospective on HR’s Resilience in 2020
COVID silver linings. That’s the term
that Cox Communications EVP and Chief People Officer
Karen Bennett uses to describe the positive outcomes that
came from a year filled with a pandemic, police violence and
political unrest. Karen’s phrase has continued to resonate
since we first heard it during last week’s C2HR webinar
(available on YouTube).
This issue of HR Pulse is dedicated to celebrating
the silver linings across the C2HR community.
Human resources professionals and their companies responded
to the great challenges of 2020 with resilience, agility,
empathy and grace, and we are proud of what industry employers
collectively accomplished. The stories below provide a snapshot
of what was achieved by C2HR’s 50+ member companies.
The articles are both a source of inspiration and a blueprint
for best practices on social justice, DEI, business continuity,
corporate social responsibility, and caring for employees
during a global health crisis.
