Are you responsible for recruitment in your organisation? If so, this is one for you....

The latest episode of Is This Room Free? - the podcast for your HR career is out today and my guest on this episode is Alex Rose.

Two years ago Alex joined BBF Limited as their first ever Group Recruitment and Media Manager. The idea was to not only bring someone in to lead on their recruitment and direct hiring but to implement more of a marketing methodology to recruitment and raise awareness of the company and their employer brand to aid talent attraction and, ultimately, fill more vacancies.

Did it work? Well go check out the full episode to find out....... 😄

On the latest episode of Is This Room Free? - the podcast for your HR career (out today) I'm joined by Alison Allen who set up her own HR Consultancy in March this year.

Alison's real passion through her career has been about developing people, so as well as providing generalist HR support to her clients, she also works as a coach and a mentor, an Insights practitioner, she is a trained and accredited mediator, and offers bespoke line management development programmes.

Not wanting to stop at just that, Alison is also a qualified Menopause Workplace Trainer.

When she decided to go self-employed, Alison knew that she wanted to become a specialist in menopause awareness and we talk through why this is such a critical topic.

75% of people going through the menopause have symptoms and, of those, 1 in 4 has serious symptoms. 100 years ago the average age of menopause was 57 and your life expectancy age was 59. Whereas now menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45-55 and average life expectancy is 83.

Therefore, where is now appears in life is with women who are in the prime of their careers and often in influential and significant roles.

25% of women are considering leaving their employers due to lack of support and this is why it's so important we recognise the impact the menopause can have and employers do all they can to help.

There are so many wonderful aspects we cover in this conversation beyond the menopause but this is certainly a hot topic that needs more awareness and education around so I hope you enjoy listening.

Are you in the right company for your career?

On the latest episode of Is This Room Free? - the podcast for your HR career, I was re-joined by Rachel Wilson Rugelsjøen.

Amongst many things our conversation turned down the route of 'are you in the best environment to boost your career?'.

Many of us can get bogged down with the endless admin tasks, and this can be compounded if you're in a standalone role or part of a small HR function.

However, doing admin isn't where you, as a HR professional, can have the most impact.

Rachel proposes that if you are in an organisation that doesn't provide you with the opportunity to support the strategy and have an impact through People initiatives then maybe you need to chose an environment that will accomodate this, to best serve your career.

This will be a game-changer episode for many people and make them look at their careers in a critical manner but in a way to ensure they are on the right track for whichever destination they ultimately want to get to.

I hope you enjoy it. As always you can download and listen wherever you catch your podcasts or via our website.

Today we surpassed 15,000 downloads for our HR careers podcast Is This Room Free?

When you launch something like a podcast it's hard not to look at the vanity metrics.

However, I very quickly appreciated that it'll never be top of the podcast charts but instead took satisfaction and pleasure from the whole 'why' of creating it in the first place - to provide value and inspiration for HR professionals for their own careers.

I've had some phenomenal guests with amazing career journeys they've shared as well as numerous discussions on the world of HR and recruitment. Thank you to every person who has given up their time to share their story and to everyone who has listened.

We recently kicked off Season 4 and aim to continue bringing more wonderful guests with their incredible stories. If you haven't checked it out before then simply search for Is This Room Free? wherever you normally listen to your podcasts or click the link in the comments.

Why don't more people from HR become business leaders? It's a common transition from Finance or Sales but hardly ever from HR. Why?

That's the question I posed to Nicola Coull, Managing Director of Angstrom Technology UK & Cleanroomshop, on the latest episode of Is This Room Free?

It's a highly interesting conversation with some great insights from Nicola. She gives her thoughts on what she feels makes an effective HR leader and how to have an impact at that level. It leads us to discussing 'your own personal brand' and what type of HR practitioner you want to be through your 'flavour' of HR.

Finally I hit Nicola with the questions around "why don't more HR professionals become business leaders" and "is there a lack of respect given to HR people in believing they have the capability to make the move".

So go download the episode on whatever usual platform you listen to your podcasts, sit back and enjoy the chat to find out what Nicola's replies were.

The concept of personal brand is something that has come up through conversations over the past couple of years and how much significance you give to it externally can have an influence on your career.

Dan Wilbeck is a HR Manager and someone who has been posting about his thoughts on HR consistently for a few years now (and someone you should definitely connect with and follow if you don't already).

Here Dan is on the most recent episode of Is This Room Free? talking about how he overcame that anxiety of posting that many have but the rewards that came with him doing so.

You can listen to the full conversation by looking for Is This Room Free? wherever you normally get your podcasts.

A new episode is out tomorrow so don't forget to subscribe to get notified each week!

This week's guest on Is This Room Free? is Dan Wilbeck who currently works as a HR Manager for a US Tech Tourism business, based in Liverpool (UK) and covering the UK and Europe in a standalone capacity.

Both of Dan's parents are dyslexic and is the youngest of six brothers but none of his siblings were diagnosed with the condition. Dan had struggled with reading and writing but hid it and he himself didn't realise was also dyslexic until a university lecturer suspected it and made a suggestion of reading from green, not white, paper.

Dan's initial career journey surprisingly began with him working in a Funeral Director's. Opening up a drawer and seeing the lack of documentation for each employee alarmed him and changed his trajectory to becoming a HR practitioner.

Dan has a very clear perspective on what he thinks HR should be and we discuss how he has become quite a prolific poster of HR content on LinkedIn and the benefits of doing so.

Working primarily in manufacturing through the early stages of his HR life, Dan then chose to become a HR Consultant to gain diversification and further breadth of experience. He now works in a standalone role supporting the UK and Europe region for a US tech business and Dan shares with us how he has grown and adapted in this role.

This is a great episode where we discuss and debate over a range of topics so there's plenty included for anyone no matter the stage of your HR career.

We're just putting this one out there........ 👀

We're finally back with Season 4 of Is This Room Free? and what a first guest I have for you to kick this new season off.

In this episode I'm joined by Roisin Williams who has been in HR for over 30 years and has been a freelancer for the past 3 years.

Roisin's career is a fascinating one as one of her first roles was as Equality and Diversity Adviser for Cheshire Constabulary. This was the late 90's where equality and diversity wasn't as broad a topic and was more about improving equality for women in the workplace.

Apart from a degree in Women Studies, Roisin admits she had no practical skills or experience to do a job like this, however, she 'took a punt' and submitted an application and ultimately got the job. That approach of 'taking a punt' is one which she applied throughout her career and it's a concept we discuss and why more people should adopt it.

As well as working in senior in-house HR roles, Roisin has also worked for some large, well-known outsourced HR providers and we discuss the pros and cons of working in outsourced HR. We also cover what life is like as a freelancer, good and bad, for anyone who might be interested in their career taking that route.

On top of all that we talk about the amazing work of a charity called Smart Works Charity, where Roisin does some volunteering. They provide work outfits for disadvantaged women for interviews and Roisin offers coaching for CV's and interviews. It's a phenomenal charity and this part of our chat alone is worth listening to raise awareness of the amazing work they do.
