Despite all this work, why do scandals such as the Dr who sexually harassed his junior colleagues, or the McDonald's managers who abused their employees, some as young as 17 years old still occur? Remember Starbucks closing all 8000 stores across the U.S. to undertake racial bias training? Something is missing.

Join Amrit in this week's podcast to explore what more organisations can do to create safe, trusting and aligned cultures that allow everyone to understand the identity of an organisation and how it operates.

When you ask those people who hate their work, some will tell you that it's great. They can't seem to face into the fact that their workplace might be toxic, leading to cognitive dissonance. Do they talk themselves out of how bad it really is? Sometimes, we all need to face into the painful truth, that this is not the place for us, and we need to get out.

Join Amrit as he explores why people stay, why they continue to publicly endorse their organisation, despite all they experience. The Painful Truth - Is Your Workplace Toxic?, this week's podcast.

Join Amrit for this week's podcast where we explore how we might be holding our own performance back. Are you self-sabotaging your organisation's growth?

This week, we've decided to save the best. This podcast was the most listened to podcast of all the 100+ episodes we recorded. It has consistently been downloaded hundred of times since.

David Hynam at the time of recording this podcast was in charge of Bupa Care Services. He has since gone on to become the Chief Executive at LV=. The reason we wanted to share this with you, is because he talks about Authentic Leadership, but doesn't just talk about it, he exemplifies it each and every day and has consistently done so.

It was an absolute pleasure to record this podcast with David, and it's our pleasure to bring this back to our new audience! Enjoy

His experience led to his book 'Turn the Ship Around'. This episode is from our back-catalogue of our previous podcast series, where David joined Amrit to share his fascinating story.

Here it is for our new audience on this podcast. Enjoy1

Trust is, and will always be the foundation of an engaging workplace, and the critical ingredient for stronger relationships. So, since this podcast was first recorded when we were called 'The Engagement Coach', we thought it would be a great idea to bring this to our new audience. The Neuroscience of Trust - this week's podcast with Paul Zak!

What makes people go quiet? Some might question why bother to say anything, as they don't think anyone is listening anyway. Join Amrit for this week's podcast as we explore The Cost of Silence.

Happiness it seems is complex. There is no doubt though, that the pursuit of happiness, is what every human being is after. Join Amrit as he explores what role happiness has in the modern workplace, and how we might achieve it. The Pursuit of a Happier Workplace - this week's podcast.

Often we listen to those who have the loudest voices. But the quietest voices may be the ones you really need to lean in to, because they may hold the key. Join Amrit in this week's podcast as he explores who are the Hidden Gems of Innovation across your organisation.

What if there was a better way? What if Managers became Facilitators? What impact could that have on learning, productivity and communication across the organisation? Join Amrit in this this week's podcast of 'Work Unplugged' - From Managers to Mobilisers - Reimaging Leadership for a Supportive Workplace.

Outliers, mavericks and those on the fringes of thought, are often frowned upon, and even dismissed. We lean towards convention rather than fringe. But what if the very people you hesitate to embrace, could bring the rebel advantage to your organisation? What if they are the key to unlock your organisations potential?

How welcoming are we to differing views? Are you someone who thinks differently to others, and how does it feel trying to maintain your views, when everyone else is so, well, conventional? Join Amrit for this week's podcast as he explores The Outlier Advantage.

CEOs and senior leaders need to drive results, but is there a fine balance to be achieved here, or will employees always complain about higher budgets, whilst seemingly efficient ways of working drives ever decreasing resources?

Joy is important, and so is the consequence of the lack of it. Join Amrit in this week's podcast as he explores how we achieve it whilst driving the results we need.

Is engagement the best measure? What would happen if people began to feel a real sense of ownership to the organisations they work with. Ownership seems a more stable measure than engagement - let's face it, we're less likely to feel transient ownership unlike engagement!

Join Amrit for this week's podcast topic where we explore how we move from a transactional approach to work where people are just 'clocking-in', to one where they are fully bought in.

Politics undermines the very structures set up across organisations, leaving individuals to drive personal agendas for personal gains. We cannot stop human nature from yearning for more, but we can stop that behaviour from become a cancer, slowly killing our organisations from within. Hard working, dedicated and committed employees can quickly become demoralised leading to a drain in talent. so addressing politics is a critical component to improve the world of work for individuals and organisations to thrive.

Join Amrit as he explores how we can stop politics killing our organisational cultures in this week's podcast.

There seems to be a view that once leaders achieve a certain level/ status, they don't need to experience the same programme their teams are being put on, leading to a skills gap between managers and their teams.

And then there's other gap - the gap between what people on development programmes are learning, versus how and what the organisation is implementing in terms of tasks/ activities. How are these people ever meant to implement their learnings when the organisation is almost contradicting everything being learned in real time?

Then learning providers are being pressured to demonstrate return on investment...sounds like a real mess. Join Amrit as he explores how organisations can make the most of development opportunities and empowering emerging leaders to reverse elevate those above them. The podcast this week: Reverse Elevation.

Rather than writing them off, how can we re-engage the disengaged? Imagine how we can make real improvements across our organisations, if we were to address the issues making people disengaged. And do we not have a responsibility to those who are disengaged? Afterall, where did they come from? Who made them disengaged?

Join us this week as we explore how we go about Re-engaging the Disengaged in this week's episode of 'Work Unplugged'

With so many people having non-linear career paths, it just goes to show the transferable skills many of us have to apply to many different roles.

How much focus are leaders and managers bringing to not just identifying potential in those in their teams, but in developing the potential? That's what this week's podcast explores - developing potential in others so we can begin to maximise the performance and productivity of our teams and our organisations.

How much 'forgotten wisdom' is present across our organisations that could add so much value, but is being lost? Older employees are often left questioning their value in a world they might be becoming more detached from - a world of AI, exponentially changing technology and a pace which is challenging the very best employees.

Employees with long service are like the people who have acquired that 'forgotten wisdom' which could be invaluable as organisations are on the threshold of huge change. Are we creating environments where they feel intimidated, or involved? How can we make sure we use their wisdom to help our organisations, demonstrating to them the real value they add, and helping them understand how important they really are. Join Amrit as he explores 'Forgotten Wisdom' in this week's podcast.

But is this the only way? How much AI are senior leaders across organisations embracing? How much AI adoption is going on amongst employees outside of work. to improve their efficiencies at work?

AI is here to stay and it's important that organisations adopt AI strategies to ensure they make the most of the efficiencies it provides.
