Matrix Reporting Structures with Allison Mairena
“[A matrix reporting structure] really requires both sets of managers to…have alignment around an individual’s goals.”
-Allison Mairena
Have you ever been in a matrix reporting relationship? It can be very frustrating if both leaders are not aligned. In today’s episode, my guest gives us a peek into how her organization manages matrix reporting.
My guest is Allison Mairena. Allison (she/her) specializes in building and scaling People Operations practices, particularly for rapidly-growing startups and international teams. Currently, she serves as the VP of People for NewGlobe, an international education company providing innovative curriculum and transformative technical services to public schools. Recently leading the People & Talent function at connectRN, she led the organization through COVID-19 and the transition to remote-supportive work. There, Allison developed and executed the HR strategy as the company grew 4x YoY. Prior to connectRN, Allison served as the Head of People at CozyKin, a tech-enabled childcare service, and talent acquisition teams at EF Education First and Cengage, hiring globally and nationally respectively.
Being a very mission-driven professional, Allison has worked predominantly for companies which make a societal impact (edtech, healthtech, famtech). She believes in a human-first approach, advocating for employee wellbeing and amplifying voices from underrepresented groups.
In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:
- The business case for buying performance management software when you don’t have already an HRIS
