Description

Work’s Not Working… Let’s Fix It is a podcast from The People Space exploring how work is being reinvented – and what that means for HR, leaders and organisations navigating constant change.

Hosted by award-winning journalist Siân Harrington, the show examines why so many traditional ways of working are breaking down, from job design and leadership to performance, culture and the role of AI.

Through conversations with forward-thinking people leaders, innovators and academics, each episode tackles one clear problem facing work today – and surfaces the ideas, evidence and practical thinking needed to build something better.

This is where future fit HR thinking is tested in public, connecting human-centred work, AI-augmented roles and new ways of organising to the realities leaders face now.

Produced by The People Space. Find more insight, tools and analysis at thepeoplespace.com.
