We caught up with Daniel H. Pink, author and speaker on workplace, business and management, before his closing keynote speech at the CIPD’s Annual Conference. Daniel was speaking at the November conference on ‘Leadership and the New Principles of Influence’, and in this short interview with podcast presenter Philippa Lamb, he discusses an example of a truly impressive leader, and how he thinks companies can encourage good leadership to flourish. 

Dan has written five bestselling books, his latest of which, To Sell is Human, looks at the skills of persuasion, influence and moving others. The CIPD is currently offering a Drive workshop which is based on Dan’s research, and which focuses on intrinsic motivation, and enhancing workplace performance and engagement.

Podcast 96: HR's role in business partnerships - part 1

CIPD research shows that over two-fifths of organisations have reported an increase in mental health problems in the last 12 months – but rather than simply taking measures to deal with these problems there is growing evidence that it is in employers’ best interest to promote and support good mental health in their workforce.

So how can employers work to tackle the root causes of mental health problems and provide measures to foster good mental health in their organisation? In this podcast we hear from John Binns, a well-being and personal resilience advisor, about his personal experience of poor mental health and how he now uses this experience to advise organisations on how best to support employees who may be suffering from poor mental health, including the importance of carefully considering messaging around initiatives. We also speak to Emma Mamo, Head of Workplace Wellbeing at Mind, about the importance of proactive communication to make mental health conversations normal and remove the stigma around mental health. Norman Lamb, Liberal Democrat MP for North Norfolk and former Minister of State at the Department of Health, also gives insight into the work he did as minister to promote mental health support and gives his opinion on the economic and social case for why employers should make this a priority.
