July 6, 2022 | ConversatiON with Janie Links, Founder of High Calibre People | Over the last decade, we've seen a general increase in the recognition of how important People Strategy and People Operations are to an organisation. It's no longer just about the compliance of stereotypical HR tasks like contracts, compensation, and benefits, but the fine art of attracting, hiring, onboarding, managing, and progressing staff through their employee life cycle. As such, it turns out that COOs and other operations leaders are often accountable for people operations, either directly or indirectly. 👥
Please join us for what will be an exciting cONversation with Janie Links, Founder of High Calibre People! With Janie’s help, you can find out how to act as a Chief People Officer when your company doesn't have one. 👀
We'll discuss:
• How do you help your company create a functional leadership team, especially when other leaders are behaving dysfunctionally?
• How do you design a company-wide org structure with clearly defined functions, without creating silos?
• What phases of the employee journey are the most important to build processes around as you scale your business?
• And any other questions you have! 💬 | Organiser: Operations Nation

Operations Community Spotlight
Opsy: a community of folks doing opsy things in tech.
Founded and run by Caro Griffin, a senior operations leader based in Mexico City 🇲🇽, currently the VP of Operations at Tech Ladies. Check out her work here. We’re super impressed!
Here’s what Caro says about her community:
“We define operations as anything that keeps the business running smoothly.
This has traditionally included "back office" functions like logistics, finance, HR, legal, and facilities but, in recent years, it's also grown to include everything from no-code automation and special projects to subspecialties like marketing ops and revenue ops. Some of us focus on one area, but most of us work across a lot of them.
Running operations at a startup can be big job, especially when you are the only (or most senior) ops pro on the team. Finding mentors and peers who are doing similar work can be challenging since the nature of our jobs changes so much from company to company.
That's why we created this community—to share resources, learn from one another, and build our networks!”
