  • 3.6 Taking the pulse with Tiger de Souza
    2024/07/18

    Once, HR professionals could walk around the office or factory floor and see employees' mood for themselves.

    Now, the workforce is more separated than ever. So how can HR rebuild connections within its organisation, whether for hybrid office workers, or far-off franchisees?

    The task that now faces HR is to rebuild its ability to 'take the pulse' of its organisation. It is a task that Samaritans executive director of people and culture, and two-time HR Most Influential practitioner, Tiger de Souza, is busy tackling.

    In episode 6 of series 3, Tiger sat down with HR magazine editor Charissa King at Samaritans' HQ, to discuss how HR leaders can intentionally rebuild their connections with employees and C-suite staff alike.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform HR.

    But just like any tool, it needs direction.

    After all the hype of 2023, it's fair to say that we're all quite excited – or worried – about AI. But how many of us actually know how to start introducing it to our jobs in a useful way, beyond asking ChatGPT a few questions and getting bored?

    In the third episode of HR Focus, we look at how HR leaders can introduce AI to their talent management processes – in a controlled and purposeful manner.

    HR magazine Jo Gallacher sits down with experts Duncan Miller, global head of marketing at HR software company Cornerstone, and Natalie Sheils, chief people officer at AI-forward marketing company Mosaic Group, to find out the practical steps behind introducing AI to your talent management processes.

    Exploring the idea of organisational resistance, she sat down with HR magazine editor Jo Gallacher to discuss how HR can best see change through.
