From Legal Eagle to Culture Champion: The Planet Group’s HR Revolution

In this lively episode, Dave Hennessy chats with Marni Helfand about her fascinating journey from courtroom litigator (inspired by her dad’s dinner table practice arguments!) to leading both legal and HR at Planet Group.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• How Planet Group placed a staggering 80,000 people in jobs while expanding globally
• The secret sauce behind their “One Planet” culture integration (hint: they let everyone BUT executives lead it!)
• Why Gen Z wants feedback every two weeks while Boomers clutch their annual reviews
• Marni’s love for Kim Scott’s Radical Candor approach to leadership: “compassion = empathy + action”
• The “career lattice” that lets people zigzag between departments based on passion

Perfect for HR leaders navigating acquisition integration, generational workplace dynamics, and the tricky balance between legal compliance and people-first strategies.
