E1B2 the Podcast with Anthony Vaughan

In this episode of the E1B2 Collective Podcast, we challenge the traditional view of HR as a support function and highlight its role as a critical driver of business success. Every major Head of HR—Internal Communications, Talent Acquisition, Change Management, CHRO, DEI, Organizational Development, and HR Tech—must have full strategic ownership to create real impact.When these leaders take charge of strategy and empower managers overseeing pods of 10-100 employees, organizations move beyond disconnected HR initiatives and build a cohesive, employee-first culture that fuels performance, retention, and bottom-line growth.We’ll discuss:Why HR silos hold companies back—and how cross-functional alignment accelerates successHow top HR leaders can equip managers with the right tools and frameworks to apply best practices effectivelyThe intersection of strategy and empathy—how HR leadership fosters a culture of trust, innovation, and sustainable business outcomesThis episode is a must-listen for HR leaders, team man
