概要
 HR gets handed the problems nobody else wants to own. The restructure, the grievance, the engagement survey that came back badly. And then gets asked why people are leaving. I'm Nick Day. I run an HR recruitment agency, which means I spend most of my week on the phone to HR directors, HR leaders and people leaders talking about what the job is actually like rather than what's written on the job spec. This HR Podcast came out of those calls. I kept hearing things worth repeating, and nobody was repeating them. Every week I sit down with HR leaders, chief people officers, L&D specialists and the occasional academic who has changed how I think about work and people engagement. We get into leadership, and what happens when someone brilliant at the technical side gets promoted into managing humans. Employee engagement past the survey score. Diversity, equity and inclusion in a climate where saying those words out loud has become a decision in itself. Pay transparency, talent management, reducing bias in hiring, HR digital transformation and the HCM systems everyone is being sold. And of course we cannot forget HR AI tools and platforms that are flooding the landscape as AI in HR becomes a hot topic every people leader is keen to understand and leverage. Wellbeing comes up constantly, and it usually turns into the same question. Who looks after the HR team. I'm not an HR practitioner and I don't pretend to be. I'm the person who hires them, which puts me in a useful position. I get to ask the obvious question that everyone in the room already knows the answer to and nobody says. No script and no polite version. Mostly it's the conversation you'd have with someone doing your job at a different company, if you ever got the chance to sit down with them. If you work in HR, people management or L&D, or you're building a career in it, start by subscribing to The HR L&D Podcast. We have had guests including Stephen Covey, Alan Stein Jnr, Andrea Wareham and Dr. Thom Mayer among other HR Leaders who are shaping the future of work and leadership. Need HR staff?

  • How Great Leaders Build People Without Lowering Standards | Doug Crandall

    How Great Leaders Build People Without Lowering Standards | Doug Crandall
    2026/11/10

    In this video: Are You Building People or Quietly Diminishing Them? | HR L&D Podcast with Nick Day & Doug Crandall

    Every interaction you have as a leader leaves a mark. Are you building the people around you, or quietly diminishing their confidence, motivation and potential?

    In this episode of the HR L&D Podcast, Nick Day is joined by Doug Crandall, leadership educator, former West Point professor and co-author of *Building or Diminishing*.

    Doug shares lessons from nearly three decades of developing leaders, including his experience helping launch and grow Walmart's high-potential leadership programme. Together, Nick and Doug explore how everyday leadership behaviours shape performance, confidence and workplace culture.

    They discuss four leadership archetypes: the Builder, Driver, Cheerleader and Belittler, and why organisations can sometimes reward leaders who deliver results at the expense of their people.

    The conversation explores the Pygmalion Effect and how expectations influence performance. Doug explains why setting high standards, communicating belief and giving constructive feedback can help people grow without diminishing them.

    Nick also shares a personal Ironman story about a coach who told him his goal was unachievable, illustrating the lasting impact a leader's belief can have on someone's potential.

    This is an important conversation for HR professionals, L&D leaders and anyone responsible for developing people. If you want to build stronger teams, improve leadership capability and create an environment where people can perform and grow, this episode is for you.

  • The Real Reason Employees Underperform Isn't Skill, It's Self-Doubt with Chris Sund

    The Real Reason Employees Underperform Isn't Skill, It's Self-Doubt with Chris Sund
    2026/10/27

    What if the biggest barrier to your best performance isn't your skill, your resources, or your time, but the doubt inside your own head?

    In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Chris Sund, President and COO of Uniti Med and GQR Healthcare, a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach, and author of You Are Capable of More. Chris's research surveyed over 200 professionals and uncovered a striking gap between what people believe they can achieve and what they actually deliver.

    Chris brings a rare blend of hands-on leadership and personal reinvention to the conversation, having grown a business twelve-fold in two years while winning multiple workplace awards, and having rebuilt his own sense of possibility after an unconventional and often difficult start to his career. Together, Nick and Chris explore why 92% of people believe they are capable of more, yet 71% regularly fall short of what they intend to achieve, and why self-doubt, not time, money or opportunity, is revealed as the single biggest barrier standing in the way.

    This conversation unpacks what it really takes to close the gap between potential and performance. Nick and Chris discuss why the most talented person for a role might already be sitting inside your organisation, why rapid business growth exposes culture rather than creating it, and why companies that build fences to retain talent often lose people anyway, when what they should be building are launch pads for growth instead.

    They also explore why coaching, not managing, is the most overlooked skill in leadership today, why difficult conversations are so often avoided and what happens when they are, and how Chris's own framework for those conversations builds trust rather than eroding confidence. The discussion highlights why imposter syndrome often runs deepest at senior levels, why busyness is frequently used to avoid the one task that actually matters, and why personal and organisational responsibility both have to show up if real change is going to happen.

    In a world where self-doubt is quietly costing organisations their best performance, this episode examines why closing the confidence gap may be the single highest-leverage investment HR and L&D leaders can make in their people this year.

    A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone ready to stop letting self-doubt decide what they're capable of.

  • The Real Reason Neurodivergent Talent Burns Out at Work with Dr. Bonnee Price-Linden

    The Real Reason Neurodivergent Talent Burns Out at Work with Dr. Bonnee Price-Linden
    2026/10/13

    In this episode of @thehrldpodcast, Nick Day talks with Dr. Bonnee Price-Linden, Founder and CEO of Burch Price and Associates, Neuropsychologist with 30+ years connecting talent management and organizational design, about why rethinking how work is structured comes before rethinking people. Discover how to rebuild systems that enable people to thrive, not just survive.

    Bonnee brings a rare combination of clinical neuropsychology, decades of work with neurodivergent children moving into college and employment, and hands-on consulting with corporations into the conversation on workplace design. Together, Nick and Bonnee explore why culture fit quietly filters out some of the most talented people in the room, and why the real gap sits between how prepared employers believe they are and how supported neurodivergent employees actually feel.

    This conversation unpacks what it truly means to build a workplace that doesn't require masking to survive it. Nick and Bonnee discuss why so many neurodivergent employees mask their true selves to get hired and keep their jobs, how that masking quietly drains people until they burn out or quit, and why the word accommodation can do more harm than good by labeling difference as disability. They explore why psychological safety cannot be manufactured with motivational speakers or ergonomic fixes alone, why the education system sets neurodivergent children up to struggle the moment support disappears, and how a handful of practical changes to interviews and team meetings can remove friction before it ever becomes a performance issue.

    They also explore why Bonnee pushes back on calling neurodivergence a superpower, arguing it reduces whole people down to a single marketable trait instead of recognizing genuine strengths alongside genuine weaknesses. The discussion highlights why recruiting practices built around culture fit and comfort can quietly cost companies their most innovative thinkers, why team meetings built on inference and unspoken cues create unnecessary masking, and how businesses that fail to adapt risk falling behind in a market that increasingly rewards creativity and reinvention.

    In a world where the gap between employer confidence and employee experience keeps widening, this episode examines why redesigning workplace systems, not fixing individuals, may be the most important investment HR and L&D leaders can make in 2026.

    A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone ready to stop asking what's wrong with a person and start asking what's wrong with the system built around them.
