A Day in the Life

HR had a PR problem. They were supposed to be helpful, but they had a bad rep and were considered bureaucratic more than anything. That's when Google decided HR needed a modern makeover: enter PeopleOps.

PeopleOps professionals view their workforce as internal customers and strive to consistently deliver great internal customer service by using scientific, data-driven approaches instead of the hunch-based pseudoscience of traditional HR.
