When looking to support or enhance Diversity, Equity and Inclusion into your organisation, the instinct might be to create a policy, start a committee and support a few outward facing causes to show the world how inclusive you are. As much as these sorts of initiatives can support change, real progress comes from the integration of DEI into everything that your organisation does.

In this episode I speak with Yolanda Kerr, Head of Growth in APAC for TDC Global, about how DEI needs to be woven into the fabric of your business to be truly successful, how to prioritise inclusion at all levels of the organisation, and what role the emergence of AI will play in supporting (or subverting) your DEI efforts.

The evolution of HR’s role within organisations over the past decade has seen it take its rightful place in the executive function power house that makes up most business structures today. Far from its origins, HR is now more than ever seen as a critical puzzle piece to the sustained success of the company.

With this additional recognition comes a need for HR to challenge its status quo, operate with a more commercial mindset and align more strongly with corporate objectives to ensure the greatest success. In this episode I speak with Bernadette Thomas on how HR can enable better executive engagement through strategically aligning HR to the broader executive functions, the importance of understanding the commercial aspects of your business, and how to engage key stakeholders in your business to get better outcomes for your HR strategy.

When is comes to implementing new technology into your workplace, one of the most important factors in its ongoing success is the systems and processes built around the use of the new technology within your workplace. Although most software providers today will provide implementation support, and generic training and help guides - how your organisation uses the solution is often something that evolves and grows over the time its being used.

On todays episode I chat with Nicole Smith from The Artisans Business Solutions about the steps you can take to review how your technology is being used, and design systems and processes to ensure the ongoing success of the solution and the people who use it every day.

If you were to jump in a time machine and take yourself back to 2016, gamification was the buzz word that AI seemingly is today. The chat then was that by gamifying the learning and goal processes in the workplace we could shortcut our employees’ brains to get the most out of them whilst also being engaging and entertaining.

Fast forward to now, and gamification still has relevance in the workplace. Today, gamification is seen as more than just a flash in the pan solution to ‘fix’ training and engagement - but a tool used to help reach and engage new generations of digital first workforce, and also a way to reach and support neurodiverse employees. In this episode I speak with Viren Thakrar from In The Game about the relevance of gamification in workplace engagement and culture, and how gamification can create energy and buzz in your company culture

Its fair to say that a technology enabled HR team is stronger, and more able to proactively support an organisations people.
