How HR Leaders Change the World

By: Cecilia Crossley
  • Summary

  • Explore how the work of HR Leaders is creating positive social change, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals - goals which the world’s companies are increasingly understanding the urgency of achieving, and investing in the action required. If you’d like clear, actionable ideas for how you can use the power of your role to effect change in your company, you’re in the right place. I’m the founder of social enterprise From Babies with Love, we provide services to HR Leaders, and through this work I realised that HR professionals and social entrepreneurs are working in the same areas, albeit in different ways. So we created this podcast to share knowledge, on steps we can take through the work of HR. In my opinion, if you’re an HR professional, you are also a change maker. And this podcast will provide you with examples of how. By sharing the successes of some of the world’s most inspiring HR Leaders, you can frame your work in the context of positive change, implement brilliant ideas, and feel absolutely wonderful about doing so!

  • Dimensions of HR impact: Wendy Miller, Chief People Officer, North America, McKinsey & Co.
    Apr 23 2024

    Wendy discusses 3 dimensions of HR impact, including in times of crisis, focussing on principles of support, inclusion and creating stability, and shares practical steps you can take to solve difficult challenges.

    Raising the question, how we can use Generative AI for good, Wendy considers mixing Generative AI with flexible and hybrid working models in the post pandemic world – and notes that HR has an exciting leadership role in how both changes come together to enable more purposeful work.

    Reflecting on Maya Angelou’s words, “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”, Wendy reminds you the impact you and everyone in HR is having…

  • HR at the Epicentre: Thomas Mulder – CHRO VodafoneZiggo
    Apr 16 2024

    Describing HR at the epicentre of key business changes, Thomas discusses themes such as human-centred experience and AI, and how these topics must be worked on in collaboration with other functions – an important shift from previous changes that may have been ‘owned’ by one function.

    Considering labour shortages now and in years to come, Thomas shares how approaches to inclusive talent attraction and management are key to workforce planning and introduces ‘Unlimited Learning’, a programme at VodafoneZiggo he describes as the ‘Netflixication’ of learning, that has driven significant results in unlocking skills and retaining talent, as well as creating opportunities to reduce inequality.

    Noting the example of what happened during the peak of the #MeToo movement, Thomas discusses psychological safety at work, courage and leadership in creating a culture of speaking truth to power, and the benefits this brings, and calls on you to build your story as a way to mobilise your organisation, building a muscle, starting small…
