Envoy

This episode features an interview with Annette Reavis, Chief People Officer at Envoy. Annette is an HR and business leader with over 20 years of experience. After spending 10 years at Facebook as the Vice President of HR, Annette retired. But not for long. She soon became the Chief People Officer of Root Inc. and now, Annette holds the same position at Envoy. In this episode, Annette and Amanda dive into work-life blend versus work-life balance, the modern employee experience, and how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion functions can improve.-------------------“I know it’s controversial to say, but I truly believe that if you are 100% remote, it is going to be harder and that you have to work harder. The company can only do so much. You have to work harder to make sure that you are making the right connections because people in the office will be able to do it over coffee, over lunch, and all those experiences that you won’t have. [...] We are really focused here at Envoy on the hybrid experience, so that you get a little bit of both. We do have talent that is 100% remote, for example. We’re going to bring them into the office and do an all hands once or twice a year, so that at least they can have that exchange, understanding. They can have that experience working in the office with people and sitting across from them at the desk. But, it’s something that we’re going to have to continue to work harder at for that talent that’s remote because I do believe it’s just a little bit harder.” – Annette Reavis-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(01:55): Annette’s background*(06:45): Segment: Storytime *(06:55): How Annette handled the pandemic at a new company*(10:46): The value of “unstructured skill-building”*(12:27): Annette’s journey as a Black woman in leadership*(15:00): How DE&amp;I functions can improve*(17:18): How Annette handled COVID and social justice issues as a leader*(19:08): Segment: Getting Tactical*(21:09): Why Annette loves coaching leaders*(23:19): The modern employee experience*(28:40): Work/life balance vs. work/life blend*(34:27): Segment: Asking For a Friend-------------------Links:Connect with Annette on LinkedInEnvoyAmanda’s LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast

Annette Reavis: Did I Change Someone's Life Today?

As an HR vice president over several divisions at Facebook, Annette Reavis had helped lead that 40,000-person company’s switch to work from home. Then she did it all over again when she moved to her new job as the first chief people officer at Root Insurance Co., an all-digital auto insurer based in Columbus.Parent Root Inc. has raised more venture capital and has the highest valuation, at $3.65 billion, of any startup in Ohio. It had added the C-suite HR position as it surpassed 850 employees, but her hiring coincided with the need to swiftly adapt to the pandemic. Meanwhile, she can't move yet to Central Ohio from San Jose while both states are under stay-home orders. In this latest episode of Crisis Management, Reavis talks with Columbus Business First about the challenges of starting a new job and helping lead a major workplace transformation from 2,500 miles away.She outlines the policies and experiences she had at Facebook that helped set the model for Root; and what changes to the company culture might stay after the startup can return to its offices.
