[0:02] I’m the Employee Relations Director at Autodesk, and I lead the global team. We have employee-relations managers based in the US, APAC and EMEA, and we use HR Acuity to ensure transparency in everything we do—both within the ER team and the broader people team. It gives me visibility to spot insights and trends so I can take proactive action while managing cases day to day.
[0:37] Before HR Acuity we didn’t have a system. Everyone stored documents their own way, and when people left we lost information. Implementing the platform has shown clear benefits, which in turn encourages wider adoption and more effective use.
[0:55] When employees come to work, it’s critical they know there’s a safe place to raise concerns, that they’ll be heard and that appropriate action will be taken promptly.
[1:08] At Autodesk our employee-relations team is known as the Thrive team. We handle reactive work—investigations that come in—but we also launch proactive initiatives based on investigation outcomes. It’s about changing culture, not just resolving individual incidents. We focus on how the company can evolve and mitigate similar issues in the future.
