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".

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.

Equal, Diverse & Inclusive Recruitment

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.

Andy Goram talks to Shaara Roman, author of the book "The Conscious Workplace" about what it takes to build a sustainably enabling culture, where you hold on to more of your talent, who succeed and thrive.
