HR Isn’t What It Used to Be - Here’s Why!

How do you shape people-first cultures in an age of automation, agility, and constant change?

This week, Conor McHugh is joined by Sneha Jain, a dynamic People Leader with over a decade of experience across global giants like Kellogg’s, Kraft Heinz, VFS Global, and now Havaianas (Alpargatas Group).

Sneha shares honest, sharp insights into what it really takes to lead HR today — from navigating the rise of AI and skills-based hiring to driving leadership transformation and building cultures that truly connect across borders.

Whether it’s coaching managers, driving employee engagement, or making bold moves with digital tools, Sneha brings a forward-thinking but deeply human approach to leadership.

Her message? You can’t build a future-ready workforce without purpose, empathy, and the courage to challenge outdated systems.

This episode is a must-watch for HR professionals, business leaders, and anyone building inclusive, high-impact teams in a fast-changing world.
