In this episode of Work Conversations , Gavin Becker delves into the world of Human Resources with CEO of the Australian HR Institute (AHRI), Sarah McCann-Bartlett. Having worked extensively in leadership roles for national and international organisations, Sarah stepped into this position with Australia’s leading professional HR association in January 2020, just six weeks before Australia was forced into lockdown due to the pandemic.

While this was definitely a first for Sarah, it gave her a chance to quickly dive into the world of HR and experience how the sector became critical in driving organisations’ strategy throughout the COVID-19 crisis. Throughout this discussion, Sarah shares interesting insights into the increasing influence of HR, how perceptions of the profession have changed, and what leaders can do to really improve organisational culture and get the most from their people.
