The Finer Details: It's all about Talent

The courageous organisation: Can it be perfect? | Guest: Tom Crawford, Global Talent Consultant

On episode 5, we talk 'unfiltered' by asking 'can any employer be perfect?' Isn't it time organisations removed the 'rose tinted filters' and shared both their strengths and 'areas of development' to candidates. Many a glossy corporate narrative would have us believe that perfection in organisations is common place. Rarely do we see the balance of reality and magic moments. Wouldn’t it be better if organisations showed up as ‘human enterprises’ in the stories they tell? The team are also joined by Tom Crawford, who shares his global experiences on what makes a good leader, the importance of 'dialogue' not 'broadcast' communications and why organisations need to 'facilitate change' if people are to be their true selves in the workplace.  All this together with bizarre careers for 2021, abandoned parcels, and the Argos catalogue in our regular feature of 'what's caught our eye' in the increasingly bizarre world of talent.

The team are also joined by global talent leader Toby Barnes, who brings his experience of working with some of the worlds largest brands to share why 'listening' is so important, the difference 'regular' research can have and why Talent Acquisition needs to stop taking orders and be a 'true business partner.' And if it's bizarre talent news you're after - then we talk 'grouse', a 6 year-olds social rant and 'ridiculous personas' to keep you happy during these 'normal' times.
