Episode 55: Listening to Learn: Tripti Jha, Chief Talent & People Solutions Officer, Novartis

Tripti shares her passion for the role of HR in delivering Novartis’ purpose, to reimagine medicine. Discussing the role of individuals in organisational transformation, Tripti talks about shaping leadership and talent in a way that brings culture to life. Discussing her work to make career opportunities more transparent, Tripti provides an example of a pilot mentoring programme that is more agile, encourages a mindset change and empowers talent. Advocating that the best way to drive Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is to ‘listen to learn’, Tripti describes the approach of giving leaders the tools to listen, as listening is perhaps one of the most presumed skills, and how this approach creates transformation.

I’m the founder of social enterprise Uplifting People, we provide services to HR Leaders, and through this work I realised that HR professionals and social entrepreneurs are working in the same areas, albeit in different ways. So we created this podcast to share knowledge, on steps we can take through the work of HR. In my opinion, if you’re an HR professional, you are also a change maker. And this podcast will provide you with examples of how.
