Career Club Live with Bob Goodwin

What if the secret to a thriving organization was to champion the wellbeing of its people first? We're not just talking about physical health, but also the emotional, financial, and career wellbeing of its employees. Join us as we talk with Tim Massa, the Chief People Officer for Kroger, who reveals the innovative measures they have taken to ensure their associates remain a priority even as they lead the charge in returning America to work.
Our session with Tim is a masterclass in empathetic leadership. He shares his insights on the paradox of vulnerability – a trait so many admire in others, yet struggle to model themselves. As we navigate this discussion, we uncover the transformative impact of intentional gatherings and how they foster collaboration. Tim also gives us a glimpse into the fascinating realm of the Diversity Quality Index, a unique key performance indicator that clearly demonstrates Kroger's commitment to diversity and inclusion in their workplace.
But our conversation extends beyond Kroger. Tim shares his professional journey, the invaluable lessons he learned from his time at P&G, and how these experiences continue to guide his leadership style. With a candid discussion on the importance of taking informed risks and recognising the value in playing the long game, we unearth some profound insights. Lastly, Tim's passion for charity work shines through, as he reflects on the fulfillment of helping those in need. Join us for this enlightening chat with Tim Massa, a leader who truly embodies a people-first approach to business.
