  • AI Governance and Compliance for Professionals

    AI Governance and Compliance for Professionals
    Apr 13 2026
    Lucinda explores the critical intersection of AI governance and compliance within modern organisations with special guest John Rude, founder of Perceptual, who emphasises that as major regulations like the EU AI Act emerge, AI oversight must transition from a niche IT concern to a cross-functional responsibility involving HR, legal, and executive leadership. They discuss how high-risk applications, such as recruitment and performance management, require robust documentation and ethical frameworks to mitigate bias and liability, providing a wake up call to action for businesses to implement internal AI policies and tiered literacy training to navigate the rapid evolution of technology safely and strategically. KEY TAKEAWAYS Organisations must prepare for the EU AI Act, which is set to establish a global standard similar to GDPR. It categorises AI uses by risk, with high-risk areas requiring extensive documentation and management systems. While AI governance often lands on the desks of HR or IT, it must be an organisation-wide effort. Restricting governance to a single department can lead to "Shadow AI," where employees use tools without oversight, increasing liability and bias risks. Effective governance requires a tiered approach to training. Executives need to understand strategic risk, middle managers need function-specific context, and all employees require a baseline of AI literacy to avoid basic security pitfalls. The absolute minimum requirement for any organisation today is an Internal AI Use Policy. This document acts as the first line of defence, defining how employees can and cannot interact with AI tools to protect company assets. BEST MOMENTS "If we say governance just belongs only in HR, or only in information security, or only in IT, it doesn't end up working... the policies we create to put governance into place have to filter throughout the entire organisation." "The EU often times sets a global standard based both on their desire to act quickly on new items... and the expansiveness with which they're willing to regulate." "It's the potential risk to individuals to over-benefit some and disadvantage the disadvantaged... it’s that kind of impact on humans if not used with great ethics." "Every organisation needs an internal AI use policy, and if you don't have it, that really is in my mind like an emergency."

  • Quantifying the Impact of Employee Experience

    Quantifying the Impact of Employee Experience
    Mar 30 2026
    Lucinda talks to Paolo Gaudiano, a scientist and entrepreneur who applies computer simulations and analytics to the field of DEI. Paolo challenges traditional diversity initiatives that focus solely on demographic quotas, arguing instead for a data-driven focus on inclusion. By linking specific workplace problems, such as exclusion from meetings or career development disparities, to tangible financial losses like decreased productivity and increased attrition, he provides HR leaders with a powerful framework to align people strategies with the organisation’s bottom line KEY TAKEAWAYS Focusing on inclusion is more effective than focusing on diversity because it addresses the root causes of attrition rather than just chasing demographic quotas. HR leaders can build a stronger business case for DEI by quantifying how poor employee experiences lead to visible losses in productivity and increased turnover costs. True meritocracy is achieved only when an organisation ensures that career outcomes like promotions and bonuses are decoupled from an employee's identity. Instead of starting with identity groups, organisations should identify their biggest operational problems and fix them, which naturally benefits underrepresented groups the most. BEST MOMENTS "The problem is not so much that we're not hiring enough people... it's a problem that these people are more likely to leave because we're not treating them the same way as other employees." "I want to get to the point where the HR leaders are able to use these simple concepts... to measure the right metrics and to be able to link them to the financial KPIs." "It's easy to have a complicated idea, but it's very, very hard to have a simple idea."

  • Preventing Harassment with Dr Enya Doyle

    Preventing Harassment with Dr Enya Doyle
    Mar 16 2026
    Lucinda welcomes Dr. Enya Doyle, known as the "harassment doctor," to discuss effective strategies for preventing harassment in the workplace. Dr. Doyle shares her background in academic research, particularly her PhD on sexism in classical music, and emphasises the importance of recognising and addressing harassment in all organisational settings, especially in smaller businesses where HR resources may be limited. The conversation explores the significance of awareness, the role of leadership in fostering a respectful culture, and practical steps for HR professionals to take, including the need for tailored policies and the value of open communication KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial for HR professionals, especially in smaller organisations, to recognise that harassment can occur anywhere, regardless of the size or culture of the workplace. Silence or lack of reports does not mean that harassment is not happening. Organisations should regularly examine their cultural norms and practices. Questions like "What would be considered normal behaviour here?" can help identify potentially harmful practices that may be overlooked. Policies on harassment should reflect the reality of the workplace and be tailored to the specific industry. Generic, cookie-cutter policies are ineffective if they do not address the unique circumstances of the organisation. Training should not be limited to e-learning; instead, it should involve interactive discussions and real-life examples. BEST MOMENTS "It's really important... just because you are a HR department of one doesn't mean that people, individual bad actors or systems aren't going to create an environment where people are going to bully or harass their colleagues." "If you were to receive a phone call from the police to say that one of your employees had been arrested for sexual assault, who do you not be surprised about?" "Please don't make your entire harassment prevention strategy e-learning. If you do absolutely nothing else that I've said, please do not make that your entire strategy because it won't work." "Curiosity is key. The one piece of advice that I always give... is ask one more question. Just be curious."
