Not even Shakespeare himself could breathe life into HR’s storytelling. Give HR a “To be, or not to be” line, and they’d turn it into “To be aligned with the mission statement, or to not meet quarterly objectives.”

The poetry of human experience gets lost somewhere between the jargon and the performance metrics. HR could have Shakespeare’s quill and still end up with an email that starts​ with, “Dear valued employee​s,” and ends with “​T​hank you for your cooperation.” No sonnet, no soliloquy—just a play written in the language of corporate policies, where every tragedy ends with mandatory training and every comedy is… well, unintentional.

HRDLY Guest: Rebecca Taylor spent over 10 years in HR before co-founding SkillCycle. After spending too much time watching cultures erode and good people leave companies, she wanted to create something that improved the relationship between companies and employees - and between HR and, well, everyone else. She spends her time at SkillCycle diving deep into the challenges customers face, and helping them leverage SkillCycle to impart solutions that positively impact performance and development.
