About this listen

 Welcome to HR Director's Cut - the podcast where we give our insight into your dilemmas, conundrums and questions.

We've found that there are plenty of dry advice podcasts and forums that give advice, but they are often lacking into the thought process behind what works and what doesn't. Savvy HR leaders should be weighing up risks, maintaining the vision of the business and most of all looking after the employees at all levels - and it's not an easy job!

We are here to give options, insights and guidance through sharing what works, what we've tried and failed at, and having some fun along the way. And we will also get some amazing guests to join us!

You can submit your questions here https://bit.ly/3JUnQYp and the juiciest ones will be read out during each season.

  • The One Where HR Is Half-Cut

    The One Where HR Is Half-Cut
    May 3 2024
    Welcome to the Season 4 finale of HR Director's Cut!

    Today you join us for HR Half-Cut - where we grab a drink, reminisce and share our craziest stories.

    Content warning: this episode contains swearing, drinking and mentions of sex.

    When you catch your manager & district manager in the act... with your HR rep watching...
    We ask the question: How does a professional relationship become not so professional?

    Amidst the chaos, we have moments of heartfelt reflection as Lisa prepares to bid farewell to HR Director's Cut.

    We are lucky to have been joined by Lisa for 48 episodes, countless laughs and many answered letters. We wish her the best and are excited to see what she gets up to!

    Don't think we've let her go easy - look out for Lisa in future episodes of HRDC as a guest 👀

    To celebrate Lisa's final episode, we invite you to take a listen to her favourite episode of the podcast The One Where International Women's Day Sucks.

    We share our funny work stories:
    1. Kate once called her boss an inappropriate name, thinking it meant 'idiot' - what could the word have been?
    2. At a CIPD meeting, a young boy hijacked the presentation with some.... interesting drawings.
    3. One of us may have accidentally emailed our resignation announcement to the entire company before our boss could announce it!

    Plus: we go to reddit to read embarrassing work stories like: inappropriate emails sent company-wide, affairs between co-workers, escorts and more.

    We get sentimental when we look back on how we met a few years ago and all we've been up to since. We share our excitement for the future and what you can expect in the next season of HR Director's Cut.

  • The One Where Employee Experience is a Product (ft. Jessica Zwaan)

    The One Where Employee Experience is a Product (ft. Jessica Zwaan)
    Apr 19 2024
    Victoria, Kate and Lisa burst are joined by Jessica Zwaan, a hands-on COO and who finds joy in diverse, kind and world-changing companies of excellent people.

    "You will never be able to sustain Employee Engagement if the People Team are the only ones shouldering the burden."

    We waste no time delving into a letter from an HR leader hungry for guidance on transforming employee experiences. It's a tale of ambition tinged with just a hint of overwhelm.

    Jessica unpacks the concept of HR as a product. She maps out the intricate web connecting consumer-facing, fiscal and employee experiences. It's a revelation that promises to reshape the way HR leaders view their craft.

    We discuss 'minimum lovable products', touching on agile HR practices and the wild ride of implementing them. From misconceptions to "Eureka!" moments, Jessica's journey is a rollercoaster of insight and inspiration.

    The episode ends with a great conclusion:
    Revolutionising HR isn't just a dream—it's a journey worth taking.
