293. From Tactical to Transformational: How HR Became a Strategic Partner
Bringing the Human back to Human ResourcesShow Notes
HR has come a long way from payroll and personnel, and in this six-year anniversary episode, Meg Crosby and Howard Cleveland, JD of PeopleCap Advisors join Traci to talk about what it really takes to move HR from tactical to transformational.
Between Meg’s decades leading people-centered HR on both coasts and Howard’s path from employment law courtrooms to leadership coaching, this conversation gets practical about culture, trust, remote work, and why elevating talent is simple but never easy.
In this episode: The real reason behind Google’s famous perks, and why none of them had anything to do with looking cool. Why grabbing a policy from a 50,000-person company can be a missile aimed at a mosquito. How Google and the Army can both have winning cultures that would fall apart if you swapped them. The 10 minutes of “nothing” that could change the way your remote team builds trust. Nick Saban’s blinking Christmas light and the three ways every leader can elevate talent.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your culture is actually working for your people, or caught yourself writing a new policy because of one or two bad actors, this is the episode to queue up next.
Listen in, then share it with the leader on your team who’s ready to stop policing behavior and start building something people want to be part of.

Two nominations to the NLRB could rewrite the rules on severance agreements, union organizing, and captive audience meetings, and that’s just the start of this month’s Policy Pulse, which also covers the Department of Labor’s sweeping deregulation push and the independent contractor rule that has already changed.
This week, Traci talks with Laverne McKinnon, MCC, about professional grief. That's the loss we feel when a job, promotion, project, or career identity we cared about is suddenly gone, and it may be what's behind the burnout, low morale, and missing motivation so many HR leaders are seeing right now.
This week's episode is about why most strategies fail at execution, and what leaders can do differently to actually get results.
This Policy Pulse episode breaks down three major employment law developments HR leaders need on their radar right now: a Supreme Court ruling that changes how federal agencies operate, an update on the Workday AI discrimination lawsuit, and a new Maryland law restricting mandatory workplace meetings.
Agentic AI is already changing how HR teams buy technology, lead their people, and think about who belongs in the room when decisions about the future of work get made — and most HR leaders don't have a strategy for any of it.
