Listen "HR and LnD Reporting to Finance is a Strategic Disaster"

Episode Synopsis

Donna and Yakov discuss the pitfalls of having HR and Learning & Development report to the Chief Financial Officer instead of the CEO. This setup, though seemingly logical, often misaligns HR's strategic goals with financial priorities, treating people as costs rather than assets. Solutions include direct CEO reporting or creating a Chief People Officer role for better strategic alignment.
