In the last of our Summer Series podcasts on Tapod we catch up with one of the smartest minds in talent & HR—Chad Sowash—co-founder & co-host at Chad & Cheese, ‘HR’s Most Dangerous Podcast’. We cover Recfest US, the need for vendors to push their customers front and centre, AI and the future of our industry….. Chad looks at talent through a different lens. He speaks to industry leaders every week and shares with us his unique and very strong views. I might be biased, but I think we can all learn a lot from experts who podcast :)

This is an episode where nothing is off the table and there’s a lot to digest.

‘We’ve been giving candidates a pretty shitty black hole to jump into…’

This week on the Summer Series on TaPod, we look back to tackle a really important issue – Women’s Health in the Workplace. We are joined by the amazing Jess Gibson-Jones and Kaz Thorley. From Periods to Peri-Menopause to Menopause to Miscarriages to Endometriosis to Hysterectomy to Cancer and more, we highlight how Women’s Health Issues are not regarded, or even accepted in many workplaces. It’s raw. It’s educational. And it’s essential that this issue is spoken about… by everyone.

This week on Tapod we sit down for a special episode with Michael De Graaf—Global Head of Talent at Workday. It’s not often we get to talk to someone from a talent team who uses their own solution (customer zero). Mike is as close as you can get to the product, and we get an opportunity to understand how Workday test and trial. We also touch on acquisitions and how solutions integrate or stand alone. It’s a very interesting discussion that will benefit every talent leader.
