How many times have we heard the phrase“ our people are our greatest asset” – but how many HR leaders are actually doing the work to prove it?
One leader who is putting those words into action is Georgian Andrei Oprisor, General Manager of Revolut People. Over the past 7 years, Andrei has helped the fintech giant discover the“ secret recipe” to people management: a model built on radical transparency where rewards are directly and visibly tied to real-world impact. In an exclusive conversation, Andrei reveals how he rebuilt HR from first principles, using data, transparency and a team-sports mentality to keep morale high.
Elsewhere, we look at the reality of hiring: a world where AI applies, AI rejects – but nobody actually gets hired. As bots flood platforms and recruiters outsource screening, we explore why forwardthinking companies are unplugging software to bring human connection back to work.
