Join Kirstie Kelly, for Episode 2 of Resourcing Leaders Live.
Featuring Tom Chesterton, Andrew Grier & Danny Caines
In this week’s episode, host Kirstie Kelly, is joined by long-time RL100 members Andrew Grier (Linnaeus) and Danny Caines (Nortal), as well as proud RL100 Partner Tom Chesterton (Tonic). The discussion covers a range of topics related to current affairs, the world of work, and business impact.
The conversation starts with introductions and personal career journeys of the guests. They discuss their experiences in various fields, including recruitment communications, veterinary groups, and consulting firms. The discussion then shifts to current issues affecting the world of work.
The first topic is about burnout at work, as indicated by Microsoft’s World Trends Index, which shows that 48% of employees and 53% of managers report experiencing burnout. The guests discuss the causes and implications of burnout, the importance of self-care, and the concept of “change fatigue”. They also talk about the role of organisations in promoting self-care and avoiding burnout.
The second topic is the falling house prices and its implications for organisations and their workforce. The guests discuss the potential impact of changes in the housing market on individuals and organisations, issues of pay and wage gaps, and the importance of financial security in personal and professional contexts.
The final topic is the shift towards skills-based hiring in organisations. The guests discuss the difference between skills, strengths, and competencies as means of recruiting and suggest that there may be a move towards more apprenticeship-based hiring. They also discuss the importance of measuring attitude in addition to skills and qualifications.
