In a technology company that openly says it does not buy machines, but people, HR has a stronger argument for a seat at the strategic table than almost anywhere else. But it has to earn that seat through data, numbers, and an understanding of the business.

In this interview, Seyfor HR Director Martina Chloupková talks about leadership, what it means to build an HR strategy in a federated company where every business unit has its own culture and history, the difference between an acquisition and a merger from a people perspective, and how HR success is measured, and why an HR professional cannotreduce turnover in a specific team, because culture always comes from the top.

According to Martina, you cannot recognize a healthy company culture from an Excel spreadsheet. You recognize it by how an employee feels on Sunday evening when they know they have work the next morning.
