Good morning!
Last week, I was scheduled to attend an HR conference in sunny Phoenix to interview Christine Deputy, Pinterest’s chief people officer. Unfortunately, the reality that we’re still in a pandemic sank in, and I came down with COVID a day before I was supposed to fly West. Kevin Oakes, CEO of human capital research firm i4CP, graciously stepped in to conduct the interview. The ensuing conversation was full of gems about how Pinterest is overhauling its culture after multiple reports of discrimination, how it benefited from working with ombuds, and how it's promoting a flexible workplace.
