The Future of HR: Building Cultures of Wellbeing and Flexibility

Season #1 Episode #28

The future of HR is no longer just about processes and policies. It’s about people. And the organisations leading the way are the ones placing employee wellbeing and flexibility at the heart of their business strategy.

In this episode, I speak with Jess Badley, Head of HR and Organisational Development at Blood Cancer UK — a charity that’s been widely recognised for its innovative and human-centred approach to workplace culture. In fact, their efforts earned them the Culture Pioneers Award for Wellbeing in 2021.

We explore how HR is evolving, what it means to create psychological safety in today’s working world, and how wellbeing has moved from a “nice to have” to a business-critical imperative.
