Broadcasting from HR’s most anticipated event of the year, the People Management team took the pulse of the profession at the CIPD’s Annual Conference and Exhibition in Manchester – including a discussion of the power of analytics to drive progress in inclusion. Maggie Baska and Siobhan Palmer discuss data with Trevor Phillips – writer, broadcaster and chairman of Green Park Interim and Executive Search – and the CIPD’s CEO, Peter Cheese, and get to the bottom of whether legislative drives for pay reporting have helped or hindered the cause of inclusion in business. And hear what attendees had to tell Lilly Howlett, who was right in the middle of the conference and exhibition. Plus, Tim Pointer helps a listener who fears silly mistakes and imposter syndrome could be hindering their chances of getting ahead in their learning and development career.
