Welcome to The HR L&D Podcast, your go-to source for transformative insights in the HR and L&D space.

I'm Nick Day, CEO at JGA Recruitment, A specialist HR Recruitment Search Firm and today we are joined by Professor Rob Briner, an expert in Evidence-Based HR (EBHR) and Associate Research Director at the Corporate Research Forum.

As an influential figure in organisational psychology and as a professor at Queen Mary University of London, Rob's insights have shaped the field of People Management in a number of significant ways, which we’ll explore during the course of today’s show.

A recipient of numerous awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from HR Magazine, Rob is also the Scientific Director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Management.

Here are some key learnings from the episode:

• Evidence-Based HR (EBHR): The concept of EBHR is based on using multiple sources of evidence, structured approaches, and high-quality, relevant data, originating from practices in medicine.
• Challenges and Benefits of EBHR: EBHR faces challenges like new fads and the need for quick fixes, but it enhances decision-making and HR credibility when aligned with business goals.
• Application of EBHR in Practice: Effective EBHR involves identifying business problems first and using real-world examples from Uber and Shell to illustrate its application.
• The Role of AI in HR: AI can analyze large HR datasets but requires human judgment to interpret results and make informed decisions based on high-quality data.
• Addressing Fear and Resistance: Overcoming fear in HR involves embracing failures as learning opportunities and fostering a culture of questioning and critical thinking.
