Describing HR at the epicentre of key business changes, Thomas discusses themes such as human-centred experience and AI, and how these topics must be worked on in collaboration with other functions – an important shift from previous changes that may have been 'owned' by one function.

Considering labour shortages now and in years to come, Thomas shares how approaches to inclusive talent attraction and management are key to workforce planning and introduces 'Unlimited Learning', a programme at VodafoneZiggo he describes as the 'Netflixication' of learning, that has driven significant results in unlocking skills and retaining talent, as well as creating opportunities to reduce inequality. 

Noting the example of what happened during the peak of the #MeToo movement, Thomas discusses psychological safety at work, courage and leadership in creating a culture of speaking truth to power, and the benefits this brings, and calls on you to build your story as a way to mobilise your organisation, building a muscle, starting small…

This episode is brought to you by our good friends at The Clearing. They'd like you to ask yourself some crucial questions: 

•         How aligned are your people to your organisation's strategy?
•         How well do they understand their role in delivering it?
