Mar 24, 2021
Hello and welcome to Episode 54 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
In today's episode we are talking about when and why you may want to consider getting HR support for your business.
Whether external or internal there are a variety of options available, and for many businesses it’s the uncertainty of what and when that’s a challenge. In todays episode I share how this decision is different for every business, and provide some real life examples of businesses I’ve worked with who have gone against the ‘standard thinking’ on when they engaged HR help.
Also today I let you know that I am super excited that the doors to Your People Powered Business Membership are currently open but only for a limited time. We close our doors on the 30th March at midnight so don’t miss out!

Secret Parenting in the Workplace
Jan 27, 2021
Hello and welcome to Episode 46 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Today we are chatting about something that I bet most of you have seen in one workplace or another, whether it’s something you’ve experienced yourself or have witnessed from others.
That is the concept of ‘Secret Parenting’ the act of actively hiding or minimising our involvement in parental responsibilities with our colleagues and managers, for fear that it will have some sort of detrimental effect on our careers, our roles or the perception others have of us at work.
Whilst COVID has done a whole lot to help put an end to this trend, is there more we can be doing as employers to reduce the likelihood of this happening in our workplace.
