StrategicCHRO360: “It’s People and Culture, Not Human Resources”

Pathward's Chief People and Culture Officer, Anjana Berde, spoke with StrategicCHRO360 about why the company intentionally moved beyond the traditional human resources model and what it means to put culture at the center of leadership.

In the interview, Berde discussed the significance of her title and why Pathward formally transitioned its team from 'human resources' to 'people and culture.'

"In our eyes, transitioning human resources to people and culture emphasizes our focus on viewing each employee as a person with ideas, skills and potential, rather than looking at them as resources to manage," Berde said.

In the article, Berde also discussed the importance of culture.

"At Pathward, our culture is one of our strengths. Connecting employees to culture requires a strategic, intentional approach," she said.

Berde also shared why Pathward continues its "Talent Anywhere" strategy, even as many organizations have shifted back to in-office mandates. She explained that flexible and remote work opportunities allow Pathward to recruit the top talent needed to execute its objectives in a rapidly evolving financial services landscape.
