The State of Work Today · 2025-06-25 · 60 min
In this episode of The State of Work Today, I talk with Felipe Pizarro about what makes the cooperative business model so unique - and how it changes the game in HR. Felipe shares his journey from ergonomics to executive leadership, what retail taught him about frontline engagement, and how North Central Co-op connects people, purpose, and performance. We dive into employee experience, succession planning, the power of listening, and why DEI is more than a metric - it's a commitment to community. We also talk data, AI, and what the future of HR looks like when people strategy actually leads business strategy. Listen now to learn how co-ops put people first - and why that’s smart business.
