Dom describes significant culture change at Cable & Wireless in the Caribbean, created by actions including micro-behaviour change, changes to performance management and types of leave, that have had impact beyond the organisation.

Advocating that HR must start with business strategy before leading people strategy, Dom discusses how HR is moving up the value chain, and the opportunities this brings. Sharing the idea of ‘Purpose Bundling’, Dom describes his passions, how they connect with work and relate to the communities and markets he leads in.

Dom shares his experience of working on culturally sensitive topics, including gender-based violence, and, giving credit to a phrase from The Billie Jean King Foundation, calls on everyone in HR to ‘show up, stand up, speak up’

👉 Your free 2024 Guide: Cutting Edge Family Friendly policy and practice

Did you know, our research showed that only 15% of people feel company support for working parents has kept up to date with society.

This episode is brought to you by From Babies with Love. We believe that every child should be safe, loved and learning, and donate 100% of our profits to orphaned and abandoned children around the world.

We provide our flagship parental leave gift service to hundreds of global HR functions, helping them connect with colleagues across parental leave and in returning to work, contributing to engagement and retention objectives, and so too gender balance goals.

It’s the story of how your parental leave gifts, celebrating and appreciating your colleagues, and at the same time empowering vulnerable children, that creates such poignant employee engagement. Such enhanced value compared to a bunch of flowers! Or any other gift that doesn’t have the Sustainable Development Goals at its heart.

We transform often existing, ad-hoc spend in to a strategic, consistent and inclusive tool in your Working Parents strategy.

In doing this work, across our clients we see many other strategies and tools that provide exceptional employee experience across family planning and care, and we’re delighted to share that knowledge with you, in our new 2024 guide, Cutting Edge Family Friendly policy and practice.
