Multi award-winning HR specialists Oculus HR have been hitting the airwaves over recent months with their popular Real World HR podcast. Hosted by Founder and Managing Director Louise Kennedy, the podcast series has seen an array of industry experts take to the studio to discuss a host of topics from mental health awareness, the menopause to mindset.
With the podcast now well into streaming series two, the series is on the cusps of hitting thousands of views, with their recent studio guest propelling Real World HR onto the global arena.
In the most recent episode of Real World HR, Louise is joined by Kelly Charles-Collins all the way from sunny Florida! Keynote speaker and author Kelly is passionate about revolutionising the way leaders and employees address the issues of justice, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace.
Within this, Kelly advocates building conversational workplace cultures, which she unpacks on the podcast.
On the episode, Kelly shares:
How to develop the skills and empathy to have challenging conversations – personally and in a working environment.
Why the first steps to addressing biases are acknowledging that they exist and understanding how they impact people.
The benefits of conversational cultures – creating an environment where people feel comfortable to make their voice heard and know that they matter.
Louise commented: “I was honoured that Kelly joined me all the way from the USA – the power of tech never ceases to amaze me! The discussion is really fascinating and enlightening, and I hope people enjoy listening to the episode as much as I enjoyed talking to Kelly.
We really want to put the ‘real’ into HR and our podcasts are a great platform to do this.”
