HR as the Strategic Anchor in Times of Change

HR as the Strategic Anchor in Times of Change

Author: Vantage Circle August 4, 2025 Duration: 31:47

We often hear people say "HR is evolving." But when you really zoom into moments of big change like rapid growth, layoffs, restructures, or mergers, it's clear that HR's role isn't just evolving, it's being tested. And maybe even redefined. The expectations placed on HR go way beyond policies and payroll now. They're expected to lead through ambiguity, navigate emotional waters, and still keep everything moving forward. 

So, in this episode, we're diving into what it truly means to lead HR in times of change. Not just from a strategic lens, but from a deeply human one. 

Joining me is Amrita SinghHead of HR – Infotainment (JV) at Uno Minda. With rich experience across fast-paced, high-impact environments, she brings a grounded perspective on what it takes to steer people, culture, and processes through complexity while still keeping empathy at the center.
