People*Strata Perspective

Welcome to this first edition of the People*Strata newsletter. The decision to publish came about recently, when our team was engaged in a conversation about return-to-work policies and then pivoted to the importance of sharing our collective expertise and insights with a broader audience. The goal here is to help inform our community of what we encounter on a daily basis and hopefully spur conversations that provide value for readers and participants. In that spirit, we intend this forum to amplify current market trends in the talent and broader HR space. Plans for future editions include sharing some of our collective data around compensation and equity, diversity and inclusion best practices, and thoughts on company culture, among others. We hope you enjoy and welcome feedback of all kinds and thank you!?
