This week's interview is with three guests from the retirement home specialists, Inspired Villages. Lawrence Cramer is the People and Culture Director and was involved recently in setting up an initiative called Pensioner Personal Trainers with none other than the UK's most famous ski jumper, Eddie the Eagle. Eddie is famed for his can-do spirit in the face of hopeless adversity, so was the perfect person to front the initiative aimed at inspiring residents to keep moving and keep fit. A recent study showed the importance of mature personal trainers, as 37% of Brits are more likely to frequent the gym if there are trainers and customers of a similar age group. With nearly 39% agreeing that their communities don't have enough wellbeing and fitness facilities for the older generation (aged 65+), Eddie the Eagle came to the rescue to challenge this narrative and led a fitness session at Ledian Gardens, Inspired Village's scheme in Kent along with fellow PPTs Lynne Thompson (75), and Instepp's Julie Ford (68). Julie and Lynne join our conversation and explain how older personal trainers can help make exercise more accessible for us as we get older.

Betty Pagnin, 31 anni, laureata in Economia all'Università di Padova, fonda con Paolo De Nadai gli ScuolaZoo Viaggi Evento a soli 22 anni. Contribuisce allo scale up di ScuolaZoo, dei suoi Viaggi Evento e di ZooCom e fonda, con i suoi soci, OneDay nel 2014. Membro del Board del Gruppo, dopo aver costruito un'ecosistema di centinaia di ragazzi Millennial e GenZ intorno ai brand del Gruppo, capisce che la nuova Generazione di adolescenti e post adolescenti appartenenti alla GenZ vive e interpreta il lavoro come emanazione di se stessa, portando il ruolo dell'HR aziendale a non rappresentare più in pieno le richieste dei giovani talenti. Fonda quindi nel 2018 la Unit People&Culture dell'azienda, portandola ad essere People-Centric e sperimentando metodi di ingaggio, benefit e formazione più in linea con i talenti 3.0.

Dan is het belangrijk om integer te blijven en niet aan de leiband van het management te lopen. Dat heeft Gemmie Hermens zich tijdens haar HR-carrière altijd voorgehouden. Het heeft haar gebracht tot People & Culture Director bij facilitair dienstverlener ISS, recent gecertificeerd als Top Employer. Gemmie Hermens is in deze aflevering te gast.

The Hudson’s Bay Company turns 350 years old on May 2 and Explore: A Canadian Geographic podcast is marking this moment by taking a four-part journey to look into the outsize impact this former fur trading empire turned retail giant had in shaping the Canadian nation. If any one community can claim to be the birthplace of the Hudson’s Bay Company, it’s the James Bay Cree Nation of Waskaganish. In 1668, British merchants set up a trading post there, on the shores of the Rupert River, in what is now northern Quebec. “Then in 1669, they went back to England with all the fur they had traded for,” says Charles Hester, Culture Director for the Cree Nation of Waskaganish, “and people were so impressed with the quality ... they made a good amount of money and decided to set up a company, And that’s how the Hudson’s Bay Company was born.”

Originally published at https://www.get5.io/podcast/7-themba-chakela-new-world-of-work In this episode of our Working better, together. podcast, Themba Chakela joins us for a chat around the state of HR and the “new world of work.” Themba wears many hats (check out his LinkedIN profile), but is currently the new People and Culture Director for Go-To Market at global IT company, Dimension Data (founded in 1983 in SA). As a well-educated and experienced HR practitioner, Themba gives us some great insights into the HR landscape, as well as what the future may hold. He believes that middle management plays a bigger role in organisational culture and employee retention than we realise. “What you need to think about now [in HR], is how do you get people to engage with an organisation from a head, heart and hands perspective…” Themba argues that the golden egg for your company could be in unlocking the secret to great middle management. As a manager, you should be setting the tone for robust, candid conversations to take place. Management truly sets the standard for their company’s culture. In the episode, Themba shares some great stories of how a CEO’s behaviour can have an incredible impact on the company’s culture. “Two things that have stood me in good stead, is to show up and to put your hand up.” Themba was the former General Manager, Group Organisational Effectiveness at Britehouse, which has now become part of Dimension Data. In his new role at the new company, he sees himself as being in the fortunate position of watching a beautiful learnership unfold as the larger company’s thinking and conceptualisation is transforming the smaller company, and vice versa. It might be difficult for some to believe, but large corporates and SME’s can actually learn a lot from each other! “Yes, there are challenges and they are significant, but I believe I haven’t met a challenge that I didn’t want to get to know a little bit better.” Regarding the role of HR in businesses, Themba is well aware that they often have the least say in the conversation. “The further you move away from the financial indicators of your business, the less time you get to represent yourself,” he says. This means when HR speaks up, it really has to count… Timestamp notes: 0.50 — About Themba — where he’s from and how he ended up in SA working for Dimension Data. 3.09 — Moving to Lesotho at a time when SA was steeped in Apartheid. 4.55 — Sweden vs South Africa today. 6.56 — About Themba’s role and education. 10.48 — HR as a discipline and how it has been evolving. 15.14 — Company Culture: The biggest opportunities companies are missing out on. 20.00 — Themba’s learnings on his journey in HR. 22.05 — An average day in the life of Themba. 23.10 — His favourite reads. 24.56 — Productivity tools/software he uses daily, like Outlook, Microsoft teams, Trello, Planner. 25.41 — What is Chucky Management Mondays? 26.42 — Themba’s channels: LinkedIN, Twitter.

When someone says “Opera,” the picture that comes to mind for most is the Valkyrie singing on a grand opera house stage. Then they may think about expensive tickets, geriatric audiences, foreign languages, and the discomfort of not being completely sure what to wear.

Founded in 2016, LoftOpera brings 11,000 audience members every year into transformed warehouse spaces to experience some of opera's greatest masterpieces. Could this be the model the artform needs to jumpstart a new generation of opera buffs?
