Taking the blinkers off: How Xero’s Talent Experience function is enabling their hyper growth
From Wellington-born accounting software start up to an internationally-recognised small business platform, the rise of Xero has been a local feel-good story. Their Talent Experience (TX) team has played a pivotal role in enabling this growth and laying the foundations for the future says James O’Reilly, Xero’s Global Head of Talent.
In this session, James will discuss how he and his TA teams have navigated the challenges of scale and will reveal how they have “taken the blinkers off” in building a feedback engine to help shape the next phase of growth.
