Inclusive leadership is critical to modern management. Organisations looking to recruit the very best talent need to find balance in the diversity of their workforce, which is a better representation of society, and improve inclusivity across their team. 

Inclusive leadership has been proven to improve the bottom line, but this is often overlooked. 

An inclusive style increases employees' happiness, improving productivity and reducing absenteeism and staff turnover. All these elements reduce costs and lead to improved return on investment. 

Ewan and Natalie discuss why companies need to look at this management style and how to implement it.

Flexible working has become commonplace across all sectors these days. The pandemic showed employers that employees can work from anywhere and still produce great results. 

However, has it had an impact on company culture? Are employees still engaged with their team, or is the fact many offices are empty on Mondays and Fridays reducing the team bond. 

It is clear to many that we are not quite getting the flexible working right. And now some companies are mandating set days back in the office or removing the benefit completely. 

So Natalie and Ewan set about unpicking the challenges of flexible working and how to make it work for everyone.

In Episode Three, Ewan and Natalie delve into the often complex topic of office romance and the relationships that blossom at work.  

Obviously very topical right now, but how do HR teams manage the relationships and any potential fallout from the situation? How do they navigate the fine line between private life and work life? 

It is not an easy solution. In America, they take a relatively straightforward approach and require a 'love contract' to be signed. That won't fly here, but getting the right policy in place is critical. 

Find out the best way to approach it in your HR Team.

Managing teams through change when times are stressful or difficult is one of the biggest challenges facing leaders. 

Whether that is through a recession, a global pandemic or perhaps a challenge internally, be it a takeover or redundancy. All of these situations are challenging, but given the right advice and a strong mental attitude, bringing your teams through the other side is possible. 

Natalie and Ewan talk about the importance of transparency and clear communication. There are no issues with being honest and upfront about the business's challenges. People will find it easier to manage bump in the road or difficult news when they know what's coming. 

There is a challenge when managing teams through change that you can tell them too much, but in reality, without giving away company secrets, it is so important to give as much information as possible. 

Other approaches include reverse mentoring, where senior executives spend time with junior employees to understand their challenges, helping them adapt their approach to change management. 

Also, checking in with your team, and spending time finding out how they are is crucial. While you want to give them busines critical information, you also need to spend some time finding out how they are managing the change happening to the company.
