In Episode 72 of the Talent Sherpa Podcast, the spotlight is on the disconnect between finance and talent and what happens when those two conversations finally converge.

Executives often hear two different stories: the CFO’s numbers on margin, cash flow, and forecasts, followed by HR’s updates on engagement, retention, and hiring. Both are accurate, but without integration the company misses the bigger picture.

The discussion reframes talent as capital, not cost. By bringing forward metrics like revenue per employee, speed-to-impact, and human capital ROI, leaders can align talent decisions with financial outcomes in ways that fuel sustainable growth.

This episode offers a practical lens for CHROs and CFOs alike to move from parallel tracks to shared strategy. The payoff: stronger boards, better investments, and fewer reactive cuts.
