  • Backing debunked books

    Really disappointed by the latest episode where they talk about why projects fail and one of the speakers references Atomic Habits as a source. That book is an airport fluff piece that has been debunked. This wasn’t even picked up on by the presenter. I find all of these episodes lately are just the CIPD patting people on the back, no critical thinking at all. No wonder we aren’t taken seriously as a profession.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HR People Pod – Ep 56: L&D – Proving impact and preparing for what's next - with David James
Q: What personal identity should L&D professionals cultivate for the future?
Identify as a business problem solver rather than a pure L&D professional, develop performance consulting and stakeholder-facing capabilities, and continuously build credibility.
HR People Pod – Ep 56: L&D – Proving impact and preparing for what's next - with David James
Q: What are the core skills L&D professionals will need to stay relevant in five years?
Consultative skills, a product mindset, and the ability to influence and operate with political nous within corporate structures.
HR People Pod – Ep 56: L&D – Proving impact and preparing for what's next - with David James
Q: How do L&D give value to the business?
By evolving from a reactive function to a strategic partner that measures and communicates impact, builds close relationships with senior stakeholders, and aligns interventions with business priorities.
HR People Pod – Ep 57: Innovation | Is ‘resilience’ a tainted word? | Dealing with AI grievances
Q: Why is the term resilience potentially problematic, and what alternative approach do you suggest?
Resilience can pathologize individuals and push them toward burnout; the suggested shift is to frame the concept around building confidence in change and equipping managers to support employees through transitions rather than testing their endurance.
HR People Pod – Ep 57: Innovation | Is ‘resilience’ a tainted word? | Dealing with AI grievances
Q: What is the main issue with AI-generated grievances and how should HR respond?
The core issue is not the existence of AI, but the volume and complexity of the resulting documents. HR should stay calm, pursue informal resolution first, and focus on the actual outcome the employee seeks, while maintaining humane conversations and avoiding escalation.
