This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, Steve was joined by Andrea Butcher, Co-Founder of Next Gen Talent. Andrea shared insights on how she and her organization have developed an innovative program called “Next Gen Talent”, an immersive and wide-ranging two-year program that helps prepare early career HR professionals for future HR leadership positions.

Andrea shared some ideas on how today and in the future, HR leaders are expected to be proficient at a much wider range of skills than ever before - finance, marketing, operations, executive presence, technology and much more, and that a more thoughtful and comprehensive approach to developing these HR pros for their HR careers was needed - and the Next Gen Talent project was launched.  Finally, we discussed how HR leaders can think about developing their own teams and how they can connect with Andrea to talk about how to bring the Next Gen Talent program to their city..
