Dear HR (ebook)

Dear HR is not your typical handbook—it’s a bold, insightful, and refreshingly human conversation about the real dynamics between team members and the people leaders who serve them. With sharp wit and powerful storytelling, Dr. Glenn Thomas pulls back the curtain on the evolving world of Human Resources, offering a heartfelt challenge to reimagine what leadership and workplace culture can truly become.

In these pages, you won’t find another procedural guide—you’ll find a movement.
A call for HR leaders, people managers, and executives to step into their full influence as architects of culture, catalysts of connection, and stewards of human potential.

Through relatable stories and thoughtful reflections, Dear HR shines a light on the often-unspoken tensions between policy and people, between performance and purpose. Dr. Thomas invites readers to not just rethink the “rules,” but to re-center the heart of leadership—starting with those most responsible for shaping the employee experience.
