Global ESG: Finding the Right People for your Organization with Tracy Ting Leader's Playbook

    • Careers

Today’s guest is Tracy Ting, CHRO of Encore Capital Group, a global specialty finance company with operations and investments across North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Tracy brings almost three decades of combined finance and HR expertise to her role, and is an award-winning CHRO who enhances shareholder value through strategic business growth and cultural transformation at multi-national companies. At Encore, Ms. Ting is responsible for people, culture, communications and ESG, providing strategic vision and enterprise leadership.  Prior to Encore, Ms. Ting was the Chief People Officer at Avanir Pharmaceuticals and SVP & CHRO at Affymetrix.
In this episode, you’ll hear how Tracy spearheaded the creation of a global set of values for Encore, written by employees, that distilled ten different sets of values down to just three. She shares the metrics by which all these values are measured, and explains how a company’s core values should hit the heart more than the head. Tracy talks about the challenges and successes Encore faces post-pandemic regarding the future of work. She addresses how they make ESG initiatives their standard operating procedure rather than just a "special project.”
