Sheeba Teves, Vice President of People & Culture (Canada) at Oak View Group, shares how her team supports a diverse, union and non-union frontline spanning engineers, AV operators, stage crews, concessions, and hospitality across global venues. Sheeba explains how to balance boundless creativity with the guardrails needed for safety, compliance, and efficiency—and why recognition is the launch pad for engagement. She details a mobile-first communication approach paired with an always-there onsite presence, a roll-up-your-sleeves leadership ethos, and practical ways to create predictability for part-time teams using AI-enabled scheduling.

She closes with a call to care for HR and build community support.Timestamps[00:42] – What Oak View Group does: venues, hospitality, and delivering “a good night out”[04:29] – Creativity meets process: designing people strategy and a recognition-first approach[06:03] – Mobile-first comms with an onsite presence; roll-up-your-sleeves leadership[07:56] – 2026 challenge: part-time hours, predictability, and building trust with frontline teams[10:10] – Smarter scheduling: AI-enabled tools and staying ahead of the kinks[11:13] – Beyond chat: Slack for mood check-ins, gamified micro-learning, polls, and celebrations[15:44] – Centralizing knowledge and using gen AI for policies and just-in-time answers[17:39] – Parting advice: be kind to HR (and yourself) and build communityTakeaways- Balance creativity with clear guardrails—anchor programs in recognition to fuel...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ICj-SdAh1nzlUbpg9TUNmSjJhLHXAqS1LpGATLia9gE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNmVk/YTIzMTQ5Y2RkMjQx/ZWUwNTFhMTE1Y2Nl/NGI5Yi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
