In this episode of The Think Factory - Workplace Podcast, host Alka Bahal speaks with Rachel Platt, CEO of PLATTinum Consulting, about the evolving role of strategic human resources in today’s workplace. Rachel shares her transition from corporate HR executive to founder of a consultancy that partners with small and mid-sized organizations to build intentional, people-first strategies by bringing external credibility, insight, and objectivity.
Unlike traditional HR staffing firms, PLATTinum provides high-level, customized support to existing HR departments—grounded in data, best practices, and deep experience across industries. As Rachel notes, “Sometimes the executive team needs to hear it from an outsider.”
