'People & planet' | Quorn makes new HR hire - with BIG challenge

The HR function has gone through a period of deep transition from a traditionally transactional position, to one far more focussed on people-centric wellbeing. For some, this means that the traditional ‘human resources’ title no longer truly represents what they do – or how they do it.

This is why, when hiring an HR lead for its company, food brand Quorn decided instead to adopt the title ‘Director of People and Planet’ – combining all of the key elements of a Chief People Officer with a focus on sustainability and environmental impact.
