Empathy At Work & HR That Makes a Difference

 

IN THIS EPISODE.

In this episode of Elevate, Mihae Ahn sits down with Camille Wright to explore her journey into HR, the importance of servant leadership, and the significance of employee experience.

Camille’s journey into HR wasn’t a straight line. It was shaped by curiosity, resilience, and a deep passion for people. Along the way, she’s learned that leadership isn’t about being in front, but about giving, guiding, and creating space for others to thrive.

Together, Mihae and Camille dive into the big themes shaping today’s workplaces: why employee experience is more than just perks, how mental health initiatives can transform high-pressure environments, and what it really takes to connect teams spread across different places and cultures.

Camille also shares her thoughts on work-life harmony, the unexpected mentors that shaped her path, and the role AI could play in building more responsive, supportive HR practices.

If you’ve ever wondered how to lead with empathy while keeping an eye on the future of work, this conversation is full of insights (and heart) you won’t want to miss.
