Workplace culture is spoken about a lot. It's a constant challenge and priority for organisations and HR teams, and rightfully so, but how can we effectively change, improve and transform workplace culture in a way that actually works? And how do we stop talking about company culture, and actually making the real long-term changes to improve it for everyone? Yes, we must analyse, but we must also act. And how do we do this? Well, with a full and intentional Culture Audit. But what is a culture audit, what should it be, and how do we really make it work? Well, to answer these questions and more, we're delighted to be joined by Megan Power, Head of Change & Transformation here at Insight HR.   In this episode we cover... 00:00 Understanding Workplace Culture and Culture Audits 10:06 The Importance of Leadership in Cultural Change 18:28 Navigating the Journey of Cultural Transformation 28:55 Building a Business Case for Culture Audits   About The HR Room Podcast The HR Room Podcast is a series from Insight HR where we talk to business leaders from around Ireland and share advice what's important to you as a HR professional, an employer or people leader.  If you are enjoying these episodes, do please feel free to share them with colleagues, friends and family.

Change management may not always involve the professionals. And arguably understandably too, as maybe moving to a new tech tool doesn't require an expert? Right? Well, when it comes to making successful and sustainable change, people should be at the centre of the strategy.

Although legislation, policies and practices have been aiming to prevent, or at least minimise, workplace discrimination for decades, this is still a very live issue. We need only look at the headlines, the WRC case reports and the various survey findings to discover that, although there is so much being done, so much more needs to be done.

An article in the Irish Times last week, reads that “The vast majority of Irish employers will not change their hybrid working policies this year, according to a new survey from Hays Ireland, but a large proportion will require more physical office attendance from their employees than recent years.” Is 2024 marking a big shift in ways of working? Is worklife balance going to simply survive or thrive this year? Where do organisations and their employees stand?

It's time to talk about updating organisation policies again – not just because we love it, but because it's been a busy year for legislative changes, with more coming on the horizon too.

Is it possible to create a different school experience? Given the chance to do things really differently in your school, what would you do? That's the opportunity that Peter Wieczorek has as the director of Northwest Passage High School in Coon Rapids, MN, a public charter school that is pushing the envelope when it comes to carving our new ways of preparing students for the world today. They are creating a different school experience! While a lot of schools are doing project-based learning, as you'll hear in this podcast Peter stresses that at Northwest Passage projects are chosen by students, based on their interests, and supported by a staff of educators that is adept at making sure students learn deeply and navigate all of the expectations of the state standards and assessments. But what might be most out of the box for the school is that they offer students over 20 "expeditions" which are overnight excursions of up to two weeks into the real world. The emphasis is on building relationships between students and adults and create learning opportunities that simply can't happen inside the four walls of the school. If you're looking for a story of school that is driven by student agency and autonomy, you'll enjoy this interview immensely. When you finish listening to this, please check out our podcast with Megan Power. She discusses Design39campus which is another public school doing great things.

What would school be like if students and teachers used the design process in everything they did to learn from mistakes and grow? Megan Power helped create the Design 39 Campus School where that is exactly what is taking place.

What happens when the L&D Manager is also the Marketing Manager? You get to run a learning campaign! In this episode, Megan Power shares her story of using a video learning campaign to upskill retail staff on a new product line. She talks through how they produced and shared videos, used marketing tactics for engagement and used data analytics throughout the campaign to connect with their learners and track the phenomenal sales success.   Hosts: Michelle Ockers & Karen Moloney Producer: Amanda Ashby Guest: Megan Power Resources: Search LinkedIn or Twitter using hashtag #LDVid30 to see videos from Karen’s L&D 30 Day Video Challenge Some people Megan follows on LinkedIn for good video tips Pelpina Trip https://www.linkedin.com/in/pelpina/ Sam Rogers https://www.linkedin.com/in/samrogers/ Jayne Davids (MLPI) https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaynedavids/ Towards Maturity https://towardsmaturity.org/ Learning & Performance Institute (LPI) https://www.thelpi.org/ L&D professional development events calendar where you can find free webinars and other events to enhance your skillset  https://learningexperts.com.au/events More episodes & info: https://learningexperts.com.au/about-learning-uncut-podcast  

Given the opportunity to start a new community public school from scratch, what would you build? What process would you employ? And if you really wanted to create something really different, how would you convince parents that really different is not something their kids need but also something they should want? Those questions and more are the core of this fascinating conversation with Megan Power, co-founder and designer of Design 39 Campus, a four-year old public K-8 school in the Poway, California Unified School District. As you'll hear, Design 39 is not a different school on the edges. It's different through and through. Megan focuses on the very intentional and deliberate process that she and her team used to bring the school into existence, and she talks at length about how to change the mindsets of both students and parents when it comes to what the classroom and school experience should look like. Megan has been in education for 17 years, and spent the last year as a Campus Teacher Ambassador Fellow for the US Department of Education. She was recently selected as one of 20 to Watch by the National School Board Association with the purpose of identifying emerging leaders that will help shape the national education conversation for the next 20 years. She was also selected the 2009 Time Warner Cable National Teacher of the Year. Links: Design39 Campus
