The live pulse survey: Calibrating HR's most divisive opinions
You’ve run hundreds of pulse surveys. Now it’s your turn to take one. We’ll put some of HR’s most divisive opinions on the big screen. Calibrate the room by predicting how your peers will vote, then pick your spot: agree, disagree, or the infamous “neither agree nor disagree.” Then defend your answer in a quick one-to-one with a peer. Runs under the Chatham House Rule, so no hiding behind anonymity, and no attribution either.
