An Open Door Podcast

For Episode 2, we welcome MA's Head of People & Culture - Matt Ashby-Cooper to talk about the impact of COVID-19 on businesses and its staff from an HR and L&D perspective.   In support of Mental Health Awareness, we lay bare the impact particularly on employee wellbeing whilst providing small and simple advice to help businesses support their workforce. We also delve into remote working, communication, emotional intelligence and productivity, and give our views on how we see HR and L&D changing post-COVID-19.   Links to resources mentioned in the podcast:   Matt's Article - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6666712420804911104/  Jen Christie - https://www.rise-well.co.uk/

Our first episode is dedicated to this year's #IWD initiative #EachForEqual! We had the pleasure of talking about women in #recruitment with Krisha Mirpuri - Head of Transformation Projects, and Valerie Wasch - Projects Solutions Manager.   With two generations of women in recruitment, the conversation revealed the challenges, the progress being made, as well as the aspirations for better hashtag#equality strategies in the industry.
