About this episode

In this episode of the HR Leaders podcast, I'm joined by Kate Grimaldi, the Senior Director Enterprise Talent Strategy at Paylocity, to discuss the steps you can take to keep your employees happy at work.

Kate joined Paylocity back in 2016 as an HR business partner and quickly excelled to Director, responsible for managing the HRBP and HRIS teams. Most recently, Kate drives strategic enterprise-wide HR initiatives. Kate also works closely with our C-suite to foster a strong business and Human Resource partnership. She brings a wealth of HR experience from a variety of different industries and her passion lies in cultivating an inclusive culture where the modern workforce is holistically supported.
