This really helps, my boss has allowed me to craft my own role in this startup I’m in and I think I’m going to call it People Ops.

Thank you so much for this! I just heard about people ops yesterday, and wanted to learn more about what it is, and how it differs from HR. This was perfect!

Thank you for this! I'm currently being considered for a People Ops role when I originally asked for an HR role and your video helped me to clearly understand each functioning 😀

Very helpful, I've been in HR for years but am just now completing my Bachelors degree and looking to change directions. People Ops sounds perfect.

thank you for this! do you have any tips or advice for getting into people ops as a career? are there specific programs or is a degree in HR enough?

@Pingboard, any thoughts on hiring a people ops candidate without HR or People Ops experience?
