Ep. 119 - Breaking up with the two weeks' notice - Robert Glazer

Fifteen million people, half of all workers, are set to benefit from the Employment Rights Bill, which will establish day one rights to parental and bereavement leave, include sick pay for up to 1.3 million of the lowest earners, and challenge fire and rehire practices. This marks the biggest shift since the Employment Rights Act of 1996. For HR professionals and business leaders, the conversation isn’t about whether this bill matters, it’s about how quickly they can prepare. 

On this episode of the HR on the Offensive podcast Chris Howard and Chris Horton are joined by Paul Chamberlain, Head of Employment at JMW Solicitors, as they discuss what changes HR teams should be preparing for. Although, the bill is set to roll out in stages the impact will be felt immediately. 

What HR leaders need to know about the Employment Rights Bill

In this episode of Tap’d Talks HR, Anthony speaks with Dr. Natalie Isaia, Clinical Psychologist and Founder of Empresa Psychology, about a hidden but powerful challenge in the HR profession: moral injury.

They explore what moral injury is, why HR professionals are particularly vulnerable, and how it differs from burnout. Natalie shares practical tools, from naming emotions to practicing “moral repair” and self-compassion, that can help HR leaders protect their own wellbeing while supporting their organisations.

If you’ve ever felt torn between business needs and people-first values, this conversation will give you language, insights, and strategies to better navigate those conflicts.

Understanding Moral Injury

What can HR learn from a company with 350,000 independent agents and 8,000 employees spread across 100+ countries? In this episode of Nine to Thrive HR, host Cindi Koetzle sits down with Tanya Reu-Narvaez, Chief People Officer at Anywhere Real Estate—the umbrella behind brands including Century 21, Coldwell Banker, and Sotheby’s International Realty. Tanya shares how the organization moved from 92% in-office to a remote-first model and, counterintuitively, became more connected. She unpacks the practices that broke down brand silos—enterprise learning, cross-company teaming, ERGs with 20% active participation, “Focus Fridays,” and a common culture codified as The Anywhere Way—and how those choices drove retention to a five-year high. The conversation also explores reimagined onboarding via the new People Hub and practical wins with GenAI (think job descriptions in minutes), plus what’s next: “Next-Level HR,” a shift to People Enablement, human-centric leadership, and skills-based talent strategies. It’s a field guide to building connection at scale—remote, hybrid, or otherwise.

Exploring Global Employment Trends

The Payroll function may not always be the ‘flashiest’ part of a business, but it’s one of the most vital and one that’s undergoing a remarkable transformation. In this episode of the HR on the Offensive podcast, host Chris Howard and LACE payroll expert Tricia Conway are joined by guest Ian Giles Global Payroll Sales Director at Dayforce, discussing Payroll’s role, challenges, and future in the modern workplace. 

This podcast aims to reframe payroll from an unseen process to a critical enabler of business success, one that’s evolving fast, and one that demands leaders, not just administrators, to take it forward. 

How can smarter payroll unlock business value?

Strategic workforce planning (SWP) at its heart is about answering a very human question: how can organisations ensure they have the right people, in the right roles, at the right time to deliver on their goals? That’s the compelling premise of The Strategic Workforce Planning Handbook by David Edwards, which highlights what it’s really like to grapple with workforce challenges on the ground. David joins the HR on the Offensive podcast to discuss the contents of his new book with host Chris Howard and LACE Executive Director Julian Holmes.

Episode 107 — Liz Vieira — Reebok

On this episode of Nine to Thrive HR, host Cindi Koetzle chats with Kerry Hecht, Founder and CEO of 10K Humans, to explore the powerful intersection of market research and HR. Drawing on decades in an empathy-driven research field and her experience as a small-business owner, Kerry explains how customer insights translate into people strategies: attracting the right candidates, strengthening engagement, and retaining talent. The conversation unpacks why validated feedback loops matter, how employee engagement correlates with customer satisfaction, and what to do about common pitfalls—stakeholder bias, “respondent fatigue,” and the gap between stated values and lived experience. Kerry highlights the rise of personalization at scale through data and technology, and offers practical ways HR can borrow from research playbooks—continuous listening, iterative refinement, and persona development (including AI-assisted personas) to bring workforce data to life. Whether you’re designing programs, influencing senior stakeholders, or steering change one “toothpick turn” at a time, this episode delivers actionable ideas to make organizations more human-centric and competitive.
