Julie Turney
About this episode

What is a CHRO? How do they support the business? What keeps them up at night? Dr. Cassida Jones-Johnson joins me in this episode to answer these questions and more.

Dr. Jones-Johnson has a career that has taken her worldwide and exposed her to numerous cultures. In her last role as CHRO at Grace Kenedy in Jamaica, she grew in leaps and bounds. Her presence is both commanding and heartwarming, and it was a pleasure to sit down with her to discuss:

🔸 The impact of the CHRO role on the business.

🔸 Why it is important to put your leaders in the driver's seat of their careers.

🔸 How to become a strategic thinker and partner.

🔸 Why you need to think like a CEO while in HR.

I apologise for this episode's sound quality; I am sure you will enjoy it nonetheless.

Be sure to connect with Dr. Jones-Johnson on LinkedIn.

Listen out for her explanation on why she uses LinkedIn.
