The HR Issue episodes
- Beyond the Stereotypes: Understanding Today's Multi-Generational Workforce
In today's workplace, for the first time in history, up to five generations are working side by side.
But how much of what we believe about generational differences is actually true?
In this episode of The HR Issue, Kameel Martin is joined by social researcher, futurist and generational expert Ashley Fell to explore the myths, misconceptions and realities shaping today's workforce.
Together, they discuss how different generations communicate and consume information, where common ground exists, how organisations can navigate an increasingly complex information landscape, and what leaders can do today to prepare for the workforce of tomorrow.
Whether you're leading a team, shaping workplace culture or planning for future talent, this episode offers practical insights for building a more connected and future-ready organisation.

39 min - The Gaps in Management: Why We Keep Promoting People Into Leadership Without Teaching Them How to Lead
High performance in one role doesn’t automatically prepare someone to lead a team. So why do organisations continue promoting people into management without
teaching them how to manage? In this episode of The HR Issue, host Kameel Martin speaks with Sebreena Cronin, Founder of Cronin Consulting, about the rise of the “accidental leader” and the challenges new managers face when transitioning from individual contributor to people leader. Drawing on leadership research and her experience leading global people strategy at 3M, Sebreena explores managing former peers, delegation, imposter syndrome, feedback and trust. She also shares practical ways organisations can support new managers through training, mentorship, recognition and regular check-ins.

43 min - Connecting Employee Experience, Culture and Brand
Many organisations invest heavily in employer branding, EVP development and communication strategies, yet employees still feel disconnected, overwhelmed, and uncertain about where they're heading.
In this episode, Kylie Terrell sits down with Mark Puncher, Founder and CEO of Employer Branding Australia, to explore why employer brand, culture and internal communication can no longer operate as separate functions.
Together, they discuss what happens after an EVP launches, why communication is about far more than sending messages, and how organisations can create genuine connection in an era of constant change, AI disruption and information overload.
The conversation explores the role culture plays in driving business outcomes, how recognition brings values to life, and why the organisations thriving today are those creating employee experiences people can genuinely believe in.
