From Policy to People: What HR Leaders Won't Tell You

In this episode of Race and STEM, Steven Fuller sits down with Veronica Andrews, a Chief People and Operations Officer with over 15 years of experience in HR and business operations across global and startup environments. Veronica pulls back the curtain on what HR really is, and what it should be. From growing up in New York surrounded by strong women and a quietly powerful grandfather, to navigating discrimination as a Black woman in senior leadership, Veronica shares the unfiltered truth about the HR profession. She breaks down why employees distrust HR, how to build genuine relationships in the workplace, and what it will take for HR to evolve into the strategic, human-centered function businesses actually need. Whether you work in HR, have ever been frustrated by HR, or are simply curious about what goes on behind closed doors, this conversation will change how you see the people function forever.Part of The IN Group Communities, Race in STEM a safe, judgement-free space to share one another’s experiences and ideas.
