THE HR GAZETTE
About this episode

In episode 509 of the HRchat podcast, Pauline James, Founder and CEO of Anchor HR returns to host another episode to ask: How do People and Culture divisions need to adapt their approach and services to meet the changing needs of employees and what is the role of technology within this evolution?

Listen too, as the episode highlights the Agility Reimagined Summit held in downtown Toronto in September and it's focus on the evolution of the HR Function.

Joining Pauline on the show is Tunde Kolarinwa, Vice President of Talent Management at Rexall. 

Tunde has distinguished himself as a capable leader and is a champion for new ways of working and supporting employees. He is focused on enabling Rexall’s growing workforce to achieve its goals and potential.

As a member of Rexall’s Senior Leadership Team, Tunde works closely with the HR team and Rexall’s leadership team on organizational effectiveness, employee engagement tactics, succession planning, recruitment, training and leadership development, career pathing, and workforce planning.


Questions for Tunde Include:

  • How do you challenge yourself and your team to take an evidence-based approach to make recommendations and building programs?
  • You spoke at the Agility Reimagined Summit - produced by the HR Gazette and Anchor HR - in downtown Toronto on Sept 14th. In our fireside chat, we discussed the HR function of the future being an insights-driven and adaptive center of innovation. Can you share a key takeaway you are hoping attendees had?
  • Your organization has implemented an 'office as a destination model'. Can you tell us what this means within your organization and how you have been an ambassador for this shift?
  • What advice do you have for HR divisions considering implementing and experimenting with AI and further automation?
