Welcome to The Work Couch podcast, law firm RPC's brand new sparkly podcast, where we discuss all things employment.
Brought to you by the award-winning employment team at RPC, we'll be discussing the whole spectrum of employment law, with the emphasis firmly on people. Every other week, we'll be exploring those thorny HR issues that People teams and in-house counsel are facing right now and discuss the practical ways to tackle them.
Hosted by Ellie Gelder, senior editor in the employment, equality and engagement team at RPC, we'll explore the constantly evolving - and consistently challenging - world of employment law and all the curve balls that it brings to businesses today.
Not only will we be tapping into the expertise of our fabulous employment lawyers, we'll also from time to time hear from individuals about their lived experiences of the particular issue in question, from both employer and employee perspectives.
This is not just any employment law podcast. It's informal; we want to discuss topics in an accessible and engaging way so that you can digest it easily and come away feeling confident and motivated to address your people challenges.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast where we discuss all things employment.
Content warning: The following content deals with some challenging themes around disability discrimination.
Given the theme of this year's Disability History Month is disability, livelihood and employment, the Work Couch takes a deep dive into disability inclusion at work in a three-part mini-series with actress, writer, broadcaster and disability rights campaigner, Samantha Renke.
In part one, Sam talks to host Ellie Gelder about her own lived experiences and insights as a disabled woman living in a disabling world. She also shares her thoughts on the social, medical and legal models of disability, as well as the meaning of the terms ableism and disabilism, and how they can arise in everyday situations.
Join us for part 2 next week when we will look at the narrative around disability, the financial pressures facing the disability community, making reasonable adjustments, and why disability inclusion should be a priority for the C-suite and business leaders.
