In the first episode of That HR Podcast, with the pay gap reporting deadlines looming, People Management assembles an expert panel to consider how to report your all-important numbers – and what to do next. We travel to a listed 17th century coaching inn, to meet a CIPD fellow who abandoned the corporate world to run a sleepy village alehouse; and agony uncle Tim Pointer shares wisdom with a reader in search of high-quality flexible work. Join People Management staff writer Emily Burt on the podcast that takes the pulse of HR – and don't forget to give us your feedback by tweeting us at @peoplemgt or email [email protected]. Thank you to our guests from this episode: - Charles Cotton, senior reward adviser at the CIPD, and Tali Shlomo, people engagement director at Chartered Insurance Institute - Jon Howcroft-Stemp, owner of The Swan Inn in Markyate, Hertfordshire - Tim Pointer, founder of Starboard Thinking Hosted on Acast.
