A Revolution in Hiring and Working Leader's Playbook

    • Careers

Today’s guest is Eva Andres, SVP and Chief Human Resources Officer for Juniper. Juniper  strives to deliver network experiences that transform how people connect, work and live. Their solutions power connections in education, healthcare, secure banking and more. From Junos to Apstra and Paragon to Mist AI, Juniper pushes the envelope on predictability, programmability, automation, and insights. By making experience the top priority, Juniper creates agile networks that transcend customer expectations.
Eva is responsible for charting Juniper’s global people strategy, fostering diversity, inclusion, and growth among their most important asset, the employees. She leads the human resources organization and the Juniper Networks Foundation Fund, which inspires the next generation of engineers and innovators. With over 20 years of global leadership, Andres has held executive human resources roles ranging from startup to multinational organizations, and has a proven ability to prepare and lead organizations through transformation and growth. Prior to joining Juniper, she held senior leadership positions at Virtustream (Dell EMC), Documentum, and Dupont.
In this episode, we discuss about the renaissance of the work environment post-Covid, broadening the scope of what is discussed with potential job candidates, screening out candidates who are too focused on titles and hierarchies and hiring and training multi-dimensional candidates that will power Juniper into a sometimes unknowable future. 
Leaders Playbook is a podcast hosted by Dr. Diane Hamilton and powered by the Global Mentor Network. We share stories about how to drive transformational impact in your organization. We talk with innovative thinkers across various industry sectors to hear about the best tools, resources, practices, and strategies to help you and your team reach the top of their game.
