The Sticky From The Inside Podcast
The number of engaged employees across the globe is frankly, rubbish! And it hasn't changed in years. 65% of employees really don't care about the work they do or the company they work for. With so much time spent at work, what a waste of people's time and lives that is, and I'm on a mission to change that. Sticky From The Inside is the employee engagement and workplace culture podcast that looks at how to build stickier, competition-smashing, consistently successful organisations from the inside out. Each episode I chat with guests from a variety of backgrounds, who share their thoughts, stories, ideas and insights into how you can create a workplace where people love what they do and who they do it for. Where customers get you, love what you do and passionately recommend you to others. That's what I call a "Stickier Business".

Thursday May 25, 2023
In a world where we are exposed to and have access to more information than ever, and where we're working increasingly at a distance from others, but still expected to collaborate, share and learn, Personal Knowledge Management or PKM, is a modern way to synthesise the myriad of information we are exposed to today. It works in a way that is both intuitive and gives us access to a range of insight at our fingertips. Andy Goram talks to Scott Novis, who spent decades as a Video Games Exec and a VP at Disney, who says that PKM was a game-changer for him, making him more productive, happier and less overwhelmed. In this episode Scott tells us all how we can get started with PKM.

Why Traditional Management Training Fails
Thursday May 11, 2023
Thursday May 11, 2023
Traditional management training struggles to cope with the diversity of requirements that an organisations employees need developing, and the cost of building programmes to suit all those needs. The result can be a range of broad programmes that attempt to cover as many bases as possible, or that just cover the basics. At an exec level, organisations turn to coaching as the way to help a smaller, more manageable number of people develop and maximise their effectiveness, impact and potential. What if you could cost effectively take that approach to development with all your people? Andy Goram talks to Paul Burton, who's found a way to do it.

Why Are We Losing Female Leaders?

Thursday Apr 13, 2023
The latest Women in the Workplace article, by McKinsey, said women leaders were switching jobs at the highest rates ever, far more than men. And ambitious, younger women were prepared to do the same. They called it “The Great Break Up”. The report went on to highlight that this could be disastrous for some companies. Women are already significantly under-represented in senior leadership roles, and now businesses are losing more of them. Why is that? What is happening? What can and should we be doing about that?
In this episode your host, Andy Goram, talks to Career Coach, Claudia Miller about some of the causes behind this phenomenon and discusses what businesses and women themselves can do to reverse the situation.

How To Make Employee Ideas A Reality
Thursday Mar 16, 2023
Thursday Mar 16, 2023
How many times have you been asked for feedback, to complete a survey or submit new ideas, and then hear nothing back? Plenty I'm sure. A surefire way to destroy engagement and lose great people is to ignore people when you've asked them to give you something more than just their time. If you are going to ask for ideas, you have to have a decent way of directing, collating, responding to and implementing them. It's easier than it sounds.
Andy Goram talks to Will Read from Sideways6 about how best to bring employee ideas to life and what the rules of thumb are when trying to co-create with your employees so that everybody benefits.

Thursday Feb 02, 2023
Equality, diversity and inclusion are important principles to build a modern workplace on. Recruiting for that breadth of experience and perspective can be a delicate subject though. Leading a discussion on this topic even made me nervous as a podcast host, for fear of upsetting someone, or unintentionally saying the wrong thing. But that's no excuse for not talking about this important topic.
Andy Goram talks to Nicky Wright, MD of Diversity Works Group, who is trying to take out conscious and unconscious bias from the recruitment process, as he seeks to understand and get better educated about the issues and opportunities the combination of E,D,&I, and Recruitment present.
