Join Helen Webb, Chief People Officer at WHSmith, and Heidi Physick, Chief People Officer at Oodle Finance, for an inspiring conversation from the Employee Engagement Summit.

Our People Strategy isn’t about reinventing the wheel. The core themes are ones you’ll see across many organisations — hiring, retaining and developing brilliant leaders, creating an inclusive culture that reflects our values, and driving operational excellence by putting the right foundations in place for growth.

What makes the difference is how we bring these themes to life. Integration, partnership, ownership and accountability sit at the heart of our approach. It’s not the sole responsibility of the People Team, nor is it a “nice to have” — it’s the difference between organisations that thrive and those that fall behind.

Listen to the podcast to hear Helen and Heidi share how these principles translate into impact in the real world.
