Steve Cadigan, LinkedIn's first CHRO and a renowned talent strategy expert, highlights the need to rethink outdated workplace systems that assume long-term employee tenure. Steve emphasises the importance of questioning old assumptions, experimenting with new ideas, and embracing HR’s role as a catalyst for change.

Steve explores how HR can lead with innovative solutions that benefit both businesses and communities, with inspiring examples - such as how one organisation solved talent shortages by tapping into new talent pools such as candidates without traditional qualifications - showing how HR can tackle business challenges while driving social change.

Steve reflects on how his early life shaped his commitment to inclusion and empathy in leadership. He underscores the value of engaging in tough conversations to create space for meaningful dialogue around divisive topics. Closing the episode, Steve shares his heartfelt wish for HR leaders: to ask thoughtful questions that empower others to uncover their own solutions, paving the way for a more innovative, inclusive, and impactful future.
