HR IN SMALL BUSINESS Impossible Foods' Business Mission If ever there was a mission-driven company, Impossible Foods is it. Pat Brown, the founder and CEO, is a biochemist who decided in his mid-fifties to shift from corporate research to helping the planet. Brown observed that one of the biggest contributors to climate change is beef production. In the United States, more than one-fourth of the land is devoted to cattle, which emit methane, a particularly damaging greenhouse gas. Recognizing that people love hamburgers, Brown set up a laboratory to identify the components of beef and bring together the same chemistry from plant sources. As Brown sees it, if the world's beef lovers would switch to his Impossible Burger, humans would eat delicious food without destroying the planet as we know it. This requires a product that is widely available and affordable. Brown and his team of scientists pinned down a recipe that has received favorable reviews, but building a company to make it available is at least as challenging. For the first few years, most Impossible Foods employees were research scientists. Brown hired Dana Worth to run a sales operation, which won orders from grocery stores, Burger King, Qdoba, and White Castle. This put a strain on the company's single assembly line, which was running just one shift. Still, for Brown, the mission has remained central. He says a key part of his job is "reminding people of the importance of what we are doing." The company hired Dennis Woodside from Google to serve as president, applying his experience in managing operations. Woodside, who expected to focus on the sales team, quickly became aware that production workers were overstressed and exhausted. Woodside sought volunteers from the sales force to work on a second assembly line while the company arranged a deal with a food processor in Chicago to make the plant-based meat product. Despite the stress induced by the fast ramp-up of activity, Brown cares about doing the right thing for his people as well as the planet. He aims to pay what he calls a "thriving wage, that is, more than a living wage. And during the COVID-19 epidemic, he put safety ahead of production targets, sending workers home with full pay. Because the company produces food, it could have continued operating, but Brown determined that enough products were in inventory already to fill its existing orders. Impossible Foods recently hired Brian Miller to be its chief people officer, reporting to Woodside. Miller's prior position was vice president for talent, development, and inclusion at another biotech start-up, Gilead Sciences, so he has experienced the rapid expansion of a business. He previously ran a consulting firm that specialized in helping HR departments apply technology. A. Brian Miller is taking over the top HR job at a company that has been moving fast without a strategic HR vision. Which of the HR functions would you recommend that Miller prioritize? Why? B. Based on the information provided, what ethical standards is Impossible Foods demonstrating with regard to its employees? Where do you see areas for improvement? C.
