Tiffany
Monroe
is
going
viral
for
all
the
right
reasons.
The
Chief
People
&
Culture
Officer
at
the
tax
preparation
company
H&R
Block
—
and
a
Pepperdine
Law
graduate
—
demonstrated
pop
culture
savvy,
a
keen
insight
into
human
nature,
and
some
good
old-fashioned
newsjacking.
Yesterday
the
internet
—
nah,
the
nation
—
was
abuzz
with
news
of
the
engagement
of
music
mega
star
Taylor
Swift
and
Kansas
City
Chiefs
tight
end
Travis
Kelce.
The
news,
dropped
in
the
most
millennial-coded
way
possible,
a
joint
Instagram
post,
broke
smack
in
the
middle
of
the
work
day.
And
*millions*
(yours
truly
included)
found
it
difficult,
to
say
the
least,
to
focus
on
work
while
speculating
with
the
respective
group
chats
about
the
potential
details
of
America’s
royal
wedding.
And
Monroe
knew
that.
So
she
gave
folks
the
afternoon
off.
“Go
home.
Celebrate
love.
Speculate
about
the
dress.
Argue
whether
the
reception
will
be
held
in
KC
or
a
castle
in
Europe.”
Absolute
perfect
and
exactly
what
a
major
company’s
Culture
Officer
should
do.
But
what
makes
it
a
truly
A+
move
is
how
Monroe
linked
it
back
to
H&R
Block’s
business.
She
ends
the
missive
with
the
note,
“congratulations
to
all
of
you
for
being
part
of
the
only
company
the
understand
that
life
changes
=
tax
changes.”
Just
brilliant.
And
publicized
on
H&R
Block’s
TikTok,
because
it
deserves
it.
