Season 12 launches by exploring what really keeps people in organisations—and why it’s not just about paying them more. We’re joined by Helen Beedham, award-winning author of People Glue: Hold onto your best people by setting them free. Helen shares insights from her research on why retention matters, the “golden triangle” of pay, flexibility, and meaningful work, and the four freedoms that help people thrive: autonomy, growth, self-expression, and purpose. We also discuss anti-freedom forces, surprising findings, and practical tips for creating workplaces where people want to stay.
