Mastering the Employee Lifecycle
With evolving tech and shifting demands, how do you balance processes with people? In the first part of our series, we explore how embracing AI and connecting the employee lifecycle can help you focus on what truly matters: your people.
Attracting the Best Talent
Do you know what potential candidates are looking for? In episode 2, we discuss some strategies for making your organisation attractive to top talent. Hear tips on how to build an attractive culture whilst leveraging AI to personalise your candidate experience.
Recruiting the Best Talent
How do you optimise recruitment processes for hiring managers, and candidates? In episode 3, we explore how to use tech and AI to streamline hiring and enhance the candidate experience so you can land the best talent.
Onboarding Brilliantly
We put so much work into recruiting the right people, but are we onboarding them effectively? In episode 4, we're joined by Tim Pointer, Chief People Officer at Three Hills to discuss how to leverage AI to personalise onboarding, and optimise HR tech to create an engaging onboarding experience.
Managing Complex Workforces
Workforce management shouldn’t be all about juggling schedules and costs. Automating and integrating processes can remove admin and help your people do their best work. Check out resources, showing you how tech and AI can help transform workforce management from a chore to a competitive advantage.
L&D For Your People
To bridge skills gaps and retain top talent, savvy employers are prioritising upskilling. Whether you have a dedicated L&D team or not, continuous employee development is crucial for driving performance and achieving business goals. Follow us for the latest L&D insights and strategies to cultivate a thriving learning culture.
Reward, Engage, Retain
Invest in your greatest asset: your people. Episode 7 explores how HR tech, including reward and recognition systems, comprehensive benefits, and wellbeing programmes, can drive meaningful employee engagement and foster a culture of retention.
Performance and Progression
Clear goals and expectations are the fuel for high performance. When your team understands what’s expected of them and has the support to succeed, amazing things happen. Join us as we explore how to develop inspirational leaders and use tech to get the insights you need to make the big ‘people’ decisions.

Offboarding Well
Even with the best employee experience, you can’t keep hold of everyone, but how you handle departures matters. A positive offboarding experience can turn departing employees into brand ambassadors. Our final part of the series explores how to make the most of this often-overlooked stage of the employee lifecycle.
Launching July 2025
