Summary

In our last episode of the year, we discuss various themes surrounding health, leadership, and employment, particularly focusing on the cultural attitudes towards health checks in African communities and the challenges faced in the job market in the UK.


We highlight the importance of openness regarding health issues, the need for leaders to be transparent about their health, and the impact of cultural beliefs on health-seeking behaviours.


We also talk about the latest unemployment figures, the changing job market, and the difficulties faced by job seekers, especially in the care sector.
