About People Managing People
Real talk for People Ops, scaling up in the knowledge economy.
Often, content related to people, culture, and leadership focuses on “what’s wrong” and “why” something needs to happen. The “how to fix it” is missing.
We’re filling this gap by providing practical content written by forward-thinking leaders in the space.
Launched in 2019, People Managing People has grown into a leading publication and community space for HR and people leaders.
Our contributors bring a vast range of experience gained from organizations that are small, large, and everything in between. We believe that by incorporating diverse perspectives from people with different backgrounds and experiences, we will be able to deliver the most impactful content possible.
Our Purpose
We exist to help build sustainable organizations of the future.
Our Mission
To provide engaging, fun and actionable content focusing on the “how” of people and leadership. To be a place where culture creators and people managers can connect, communicate and build community.
