You got into HR because of people. Somewhere along the way, the work became something else: approvals, documentation, process after process. It happens slowly, and most people leaders don't notice until they're already in it.

Jessica Zwaan noticed. And she wrote about it.

On April 29, we're bringing together HR and people leaders in Berlin for the launch of Purpose and Work, Jessica's new book on reclaiming your role and putting people back at the center of how you work. It's practical, it's honest, and it's the book a lot of people in this room have been waiting for.

The evening starts with Jessica reading from the book, followed by an open conversation with Sebastian Dietrich, HR Interim Manager & Consultant, and the audience. There'll be time to get your copy signed, meet the people in the room, and continue the conversation over drinks at Wohnzimmer in Hotel Telegraphenamt.

This isn't a panel, and it’s not a webinar with cameras. It's an evening built around one idea: that the best thing HR leaders can do right now is reclaim the people part of people ops.

Space is limited.
