Why CPOHQ?

CEO @ Knoetic & CPOHQ

We built CPOHQ because there’s incredible power in bringing together 1000s of the world’s leading Chief People Officers to share their insights, templates, and playbooks.

CPOHQ helps answer questions like: What are the top companies in our industry doing? Are others implementing RIFs? What’s the playbook for companies post RIF? What’s the annualized attrition rate for companies in my industry? Who has built winning playbooks for hybrid work or remote work?

‍The community first launched in March 2020, when the role of the CPO had never been more difficult. Today, the network has grown to 2,500+ top-tier CPOs - and we’re incredibly grateful that we’ve maintained the spirit of giving, intellectual curiosity, and continuous improvement the entire time.

We’re incredibly proud of how quickly this network has risen, and the good news is: we’re just getting started :)

Why CPOHQ

Chief People Officers need to have more than insights on their own company—they need to know what’s happening outside of their four walls.

What are the top companies in our industry doing? Are others implementing RIFs? What’s the annualized attrition rate in my industry? Who has built winning playbooks for hybrid work or remote work; diversity, equity, and inclusion?

Questions like these can only be answered by bringing experts together, and that’s where our community comes in. CPOHQ first launched in March 2020, when the role of the CPO had never been more difficult. Today, the network has grown to 2,000+ top-tier CPOs.

We’re building an exclusive CPO network unlike any other, and we’re just getting started.
