Karen is the Human Resources executive at Designer Brands. She is responsible for HR strategy, talent management, talent acquisition, L&D, succession management, total rewards, executive assessment, executive compensation, board interface, and HR operations.
The company has relatively lower hiring needs because many full-time store workers stayed on throughout the pandemic, but hiring has been more challenging than in past years for part-time employees. The company is also offering signing bonuses to recruit employees and expanding health care benefits and subsidies for child care.
