  Jul 12, 202640 minS5

In this episode, Narelle Hooper speaks with Reanna Browne, an academically-trained futurist with an HR background, about her practical four-question framework designed to help HR teams work through complex dilemmas showing up in our work today, such as how to combat employees' ‘cognitive surrender’ and re-anchor the irreplaceable value of human judgment.
