Why HR Cannot be responsible for Organisational Culture, with Vindou Duc. 

Vindou joins us from Switzerland for this PJ Tips Podcast, where she is based and runs her Consulting business. Vindou has nearly 30 years global business experience ranging from Formula One to Pharmaceuticals with companies such PwC and Novartis. 

She left corporate life a few years ago, and set up Next Step Management Consultancy, with the mission to help you lead your organization through its business transformation, from the 'inside out'.

I invited Vindou to join us as she has both a broad Global view of Culture and in-depth practical experience of culture change in its own right, and as part of transformational programmes. I wanted to get her views on: 

  • The current challenges that businesses face regarding understanding their current culture and defining the future desired culture
  • The stats that show a big gap between what C Suite think culture is and the reality of the employee experience
  • Why many business leaders struggle to get to grips with culture
  • The frustrations that occur when the business gives culture to HR
  • HR is, in many respect, a service provider, a central support service concerned with Tupe, Pensions, policies, procedures, holiday pay, tribunals and the like....  therefore how on earth can HR be expected to lead a culture change when they don't have the time, resources or authority to do so. They need help....  

    In this new world, HR needs to be developed to be a facilitator of change, becoming a partner and advisor to the board and business.

    One of the challenges I see, is that HR are being rebranded as People and Culture, but that doesn’t make it so. I can rebrand myself as a Formula Driver or Play Boy tomorrow….. but I'm sorry to say I lack most of the resources to deliver anything other than disappointment

    If HR is not responsible for CULTURE…. Who is?

    Vindou offers answers, insights and top tips to help you on your culture journey.
