The old HR playbook is cracking, and Mindy Honcoop and Marnie Robbins are here to build something more human in its place.
Nikki sits down with Mindy and Marnie to explore the origin of altHR, a people-first community and movement designed for HR leaders who are tired of doing the work alone.
Together, they unpack what it means to evolve the future of HR through mindset shifts, friendship, co-creation, and the courage to ask for help. From launching The Hive to building the SIGNAL framework, Mindy and Marnie share how human-centered design can help people leaders move from isolation and overwhelm into possibility, experimentation, and meaningful connection.
This conversation is a reminder that HR professionals were never meant to carry culture, change, and people strategy alone. The future of work will not be built by perfect playbooks, but by curious leaders willing to rethink, collaborate, and evolve together.
