Episode 6: Episode 6: Brain Health: The case for a new balance sheet paradigm by Kelly O'Brien
''I do think that right now, the way that the balance sheet works, humans are seen as an expense and not an asset, technically. Until that changes, and there is a movement to change that, that's what it will be seen as: an investment in a human is an expense, not an asset. There's got to be a mind shift''

Episode 5: Inclusive innovation: The impact of diversity on sustainable workplaces with Tina Lindh
"There is a huge gap in knowledge. If you work as an HR Director or a Sustainability Director, you need to know what it is. You need to understand Social Sustainability. And not only understand. I have never met a Sustainability Director that doesn't care about the planet. But I have met a lot of people working in important roles in companies that actually don't understand, or care about humans."

Episode 3: Sustainable high performance: the role of HRV in predicting employee risk and potential, with Justin Buckthorp
''Are we capturing the correct metrics? Are we even capturing metrics that matter? How are we leveraging those metrics? How are we interpreting those metrics and are we having honest conversations around what those metrics might show - even though it can be awkward and tough? And then how do we use that to make a difference? Both for the employees and for the organisation''?

Episode 2: Metrics of Value: navigating Human Capital in the ESG era, with Kathleen McGrail
''We need to be really clear about how an organisation measures human capital and assesses the capabilities overall. As investors become more and more demanding about seeing a more comprehensive overview of ESG, organisations will need to look across HR, ESG, finance and investor relations to take a more integrated approach''.
