Episode Synopsis

HR doesn't need a new mission — it needs a makeover. In this episode of HR Baddies, host Katie Garcia gets unapologetically real about why HR can't keep running on outdated systems, reactive processes, and "we've always done it this way" energy. The world of work has changed — and it's time HR caught up. From burnout to bandwidth to business alignment, Katie breaks down exactly how to reimagine HR as a modern, scalable, data-driven function that drives results — not just compliance. Whether you're a team of one or leading a full people operations department, this episode gives you a practical blueprint for turning HR into a true business accelerator. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✅ Why traditional HR structures no longer fit modern organizations ✅ How to redefine HR's purpose around business outcomes ✅ How to build a clear "service catalog" that shows what HR owns and delivers ✅ What an HR structure built for scalability looks like (hint: fewer firefighters, more strategists) ✅ How to modernize your tech, metrics, and communication to gain credibility at the table Key Takeaways: HR's role isn't just to support — it's to scale the business through people systems. The modern HR structure is lean, tech-enabled, and outcome-focused. Data isn't paperwork — it's your credibility. Stop asking for a seat at the table. Build it. Then send the calendar invite. Why You Should Listen: If your HR department feels more like a help desk than a strategy hub, this episode is your wake-up call. Katie walks through how to modernize your function — from redefining purpose to choosing the right tools and metrics — all with her signature mix of expertise, candor, and humor. This isn't a "feel good" HR talk. It's a playbook for transformation.
