overall Interesting

To understand how people analytics work in "real" life scenarios, the examples and cases shared are insightful

Soften the “s” hissing

I had to take a break from listening because of the constant hissing during every pronunciation including the Letter “S.” When you’re listening in a car, surrounded by speakers, the hissing is torture. The only solution was killing the high-end on my equalizer.

Good story but not too much new insights

Good storyline and practical suggestions for the hiring process and setting it in line with corporate priorities. However expected more from 'people analytics' on how to develop and your companies workforce plan.
