In this show, we discuss some of the best ways that HR can drive company performance. Arguably, HR’s historic reputation is that it is the least commercial of the corporate functions and the dichotomy is that most would agree that people make businesses successful.
Our panel consists of some of the leading HR experts with a determination to make HR a function that truly drives company performance.
We discuss the 'How' Talent strategies, Employee Experience, people analytics and data-driven HR, agile HR practices and more can add maximum value to the bottom line.

YOUR HOST & FOUNDER OF HR RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS – “Having graduated with a History degree, I was persuaded into a career in recruitment having been applying to graduate schemes. Whilst I failed in securing a role on a graduate scheme, I was lucky enough to be offered a chance to become a trainee Recruitment Consultant in 2008. In 2011, I started to work exclusively with the HR profession. I have since recruited HR professionals for business in numerous countries from entry–level to C-Suite from start-ups to blue-chip multinationals.
I have a passion for the profession and how it helps businesses be successful and create great places to work. My curiosity and passion for HR was why I decided to set up Hosting HR to share ideas within the profession and to have a bit of fun doing it too. I recently moved to live by the sea in Devon, England with my wife, son and dog. I am a big football fan and support Newcastle United as well as playing regularly – if you look closely you might even see some Newcastle United paraphernalia in the background during the stream.”
