How Our Emplify Acquisition Helps Elevate HR To A Strategic Business Function

HR Superstars

There’s an exciting movement happening right now in HR where HR and people ops professionals are seeing an elevation of the strategic importance they play in an organization.

Part of what’s driving that trend is empowering HR leaders with data around performance and engagement. One of the best opportunities for HR executives and people ops professionals to continue elevating their voice and strategic contribution to the company is helping the organization build a capability of manager enablement and then offering evidence to the leadership team for the importance of a business partnership with HR.

To ensure we’re at the front end of this revolution, 15five recently acquired Emplify, a company that is so deeply aligned to the same vision and will help us go further, faster.

In this episode of HR Superstars, we talked with Emplify co-founders, Santi Jaramillo and Adam Weber (now on the 15Five leadership team), about how Emplify and 15Five successfully joined two founding teams, two complimentary products, and two cultures to create more engaged and higher performing workplaces and help elevate the HR function.

We also talked about:

-The demand for a single, streamlined software over metrics across multiple platforms.

-The advantages of combining data, education, and coaching.

-How to create a work environment where people take ownership.

-Why community is an essential pillar for supporting strategic HR initiatives.
