As we approach the end of season 6 we wanted to bring back a topic that has continued to be a critical issue for organisations over the last few years. This topic is still front of mind for many as 2023 reported the highest level of sick leave in a decade with more people taking time off with mental health struggles and the average age of burnout sitting at 32.
Today our CEO and Host, Stuart Elliott, is joined by Co-Founder of HumanOS, Bianca Errigo to speak about burnout and the healthy habits one can adopt to combat it. Throughout the conversation, Bianca and Stuart chatted about her career prior to co-founding HumanOS and the motivation behind the company, touching on how she began her career working for the world's largest IT services company but after several successful but extremely stressful years within their top-performing global sales team, coupled with the loss of her father, Bianca saw a dramatic deterioration in her own health. This led to hospitalisation, and she decided to make some changes, transforming her life to become a wellness coach and building a tech start-up. Continuing the conversation Stuart and Bianca discussed habits to encourage high performance, the impact of emotional intelligence in the workplace, whether preventing burnout should be owned by the individual or an organisation and how to meet the needs of a diverse workspace and minimise the generational gaps.
Bianca is a wellness expert and speaker, recently awarded American Express "Speaker of the Year 2023" for her work around "Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace". She is recognised by Cisco for the impact she had with their "Women In Cisco" community. Bianca is the Co-Founder of health optimisation platform HumanOS.If you are interested in having a session with Bianca we are able to offer our listeners a complimentary strategy call, you can sign up here.

Welcome back to February’s installment of ‘The Latest HR News’. This month, Stuart Elliott is joined by Justine Thompson and Taylor Bradley to discuss some of the themes from trending articles in business and HR.
In this episode Stuart and our guests discuss a host of themes on how success can be fostered within an organisation. They start the conversation by discussing hybrid working and its continued prominence within the workforce; reflecting on the potentially damaging monitoring of remote work and the significance of trust in order to see productivity and retention of top talent. Our guests also touch on flexibility within the workplace and how this has become, a ‘non-negotiable’ to yield a successful culture in a post-covid world. They then move onto DEI and its necessity to build a winning business strategy and remain progressive.
They also examine workplace culture, exploring how so-called ‘negative traits’ such as competitiveness and rivalry are being reframed to promote a healthy mindset where competition is seen as a motivation to excellence. The final topic explored is job ghosting, based on an article claiming that a large percentage of Gen-Z have avoided an interview or their first day on a job. Despite Justine's scepticism of these statistics, it provides an interesting perspective on how, in a virtual world, some individuals would rather severe communication to avoid difficult conversations.
Justine is an ED&I expert with over 20 years’ experience in HR and people focused roles. She has a particular interest in culture, psychological safety and belonging, and has worked with organisations across many sectors to bring these topics to life through training and facilitated discussion. She has extensive experience of working with diversity to identify barriers and design data driven strategies and is the Head of Market Intelligence at Inclusive Group. Taylor is a seasoned HR executive deeply committed to shaping organisational talent strategy and fostering a culture of growth and technical innovation.

Our next episode of HR Insights – The Podcast is out now! Stuart Elliott chats to Roly Walter, Founder of Appraisd, an employee performance management system that is unique in aiming to help managers get the best from their team members.
Appraisd began in Roly’s garden shed where he combined his experience working as an HR and business analyst with his interest in coding. He began with the kernel of an idea: an employee-first approach to performance and development; something that employees would find genuinely useful, something HR would be proud of implementing and something managers would find a blessed relief from the tired and out-dated appraisal forms they were used to. Since then the company has grown substantially.
