このコンテンツについて

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 Uplifting People, 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!Copyright From Babies with Love Trading Ltd 2024 マネジメント マネジメント・リーダーシップ 経済学

  • Episode 213: Future Ready: The Intersection of HR & Sustainability, COP30 Special with AXA Climate School
    2025/11/04
    In this special episode ahead of COP30, Cecilia Crossley explores the transformative potential of collaboration between HR and Sustainability functions to drive competitive business alongside social and environmental impact. Cecilia is joined by Antoine Poincaré, CEO of AXA Climate School, with contributions from Jacky Griffiths, Director of ESG People & Culture at Grant Thornton UK; and Helen Redfern, Chief People, Communications & Sustainability Officer at Dowlais Group plc. Antoine shares examples of how climate change is reshaping HR practices, from low-carbon commuting incentives and climate-related leave to new physical and psychological risks for employees. He highlights four key areas for HR focus: decarbonisation, risk management, employer branding, and green skills. Cecilia illustrates how HR policy and practice - from wellbeing objectives and flexible working to corporate pensions, connect to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, demonstrating that people strategy can drive tangible environmental and social impact – to the benefit of people goals. Jacky and Helen offer practical guidance on embedding sustainability across organisations. Jacky emphasises storytelling and incremental progress, and Helen highlights giving HR, sustainability, and communications equal executive voice. Cecilia closes with her 'one wish' for HR leaders: if you've not yet already, take a first step to collaborate with Sustainability peers.

  • Episode 212: Breaking Cycles, Building Culture: The Human Impact of HR - Alisa DiBeasi, CHRO at Phinia
    2025/10/28
    Drawing on her 34-year career, Alisa explains how HR is uniquely positioned to nurture talent and inspire positive change, from supporting employees through promotions to creating spaces where people feel genuinely heard. Alisa reflects on her lifelong commitment to breaking cycles of disadvantage. From her early experiences in Chicago to supporting scholarships, tuition programs, and social initiatives around the world, she demonstrates how small interventions can transform lives. Alisa emphasises the importance of listening to employees, seeking advice, and continuously evolving workforce practices to build a culture of fairness and empowerment. At the heart of her philosophy is a simple principle: hire the best person for the role and treat everyone as you would your own family. Alisa explains how walking the talk and encouraging employees to stand up for what’s right creates a ripple effect of culture change and leaves you with a powerful call to action: keep inspiring people to be greater than they were yesterday.

  • Episode 211: Human-Centred Leadership in HR: From Pizza to Purpose at Papa Johns - James Furnell, VP Global People Experience at Papa Johns
    2025/10/21

    James shares how he's helping lead workplace culture where talent, not background, defines success and provides examples of tools that create career growth pathways, such as 'Tiger Teams'.

    Advocating that human-centric approaches make culture thrive, James reflects on the link between organisational culture and personal wellbeing. He shares a moving story about supporting his wife through postnatal depression and how that shaped his own leadership approach.

    Across business and HR leadership, from transparent hiring to aligning personal purpose with organisational goals, James highlights how empathy in communication doesn't just build trust, it transforms teams, strengthens culture, and creates impact far beyond the workplace.
