The tech revolution and Covid have brought seismic changes to the way organisations engage and assess their employees. Traditional approaches don't cut the mustard. So what do board members need to do to keep on top of their most valuable resource in the digital era? Daniel Kasmir has managed people issues for over 30 years, as a Chair, Remco Chair, Trustee and executive at TalkTalk, YouView TV and others. Tune into his conversation with Nurole CEO Oliver Cummings to discover: what are the pros and cons of combining the Chief People and Procurement Officer roles? (1:19); how do you calculate return on investment when it comes to talent? (5:19); why aren’t boards more excited by people analytics? (10:03); how do you show employees you're acting on their data? (12:27); how regularly do you have employee development sessions? (14:49); how are you approaching hybrid working? (16:43); are CEOs wrong to think in-person work is more valuable? (19:28); what is the role of the Remco, and how does it differ across ownership structures? (23:29); when can non-execs add the most value to Remcos? (25:34), and The Lightning Round (27:54).
