Head Of Organizational Effectiveness (Global)
Minneapolis, Minnesota, Us
Puppet is a pioneer in the DevOps and automation software market, with more than 40,000+ customers —including more than two thirds of the Fortune 100 companiesI was always drawn to the tech industry, where innovation, agility, and the notion of failing forward are the fabric of its design. Puppet was at a pivotal point of its growth, as a startup that was heading into the next phase of expansion. I recognized the needs of the company for internal growth as well, with talent management processes and structures, and saw a space where I could make an impact. ***My position (along with 10% of the company) was eliminated at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although I was at Puppet for just a few months, the following are some of my achievements:• Re-envisioned performance management philosophy and redesigned the annual performance review process, within the first 3 weeks, through needs identification with leaders and application of expertise and best practices.• Enabled leaders and employees to adopt the new performance philosophy through a series of client-centered workshops, job aids, and calibration tools around goal setting, goal alignment, behavioral-based performance feedback.• Launched the company's global employee-driven diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiative, and coached the DEI steering committee and ERGs on strategic planning.• Assessed organizational needs and gaps, based on discovery with the leadership (including executives) and HRBPs, and provided thought leadership on strategic organizational effectiveness and technology, including learning, engagement, performance platforms, talent planning, and HiPo identification.
