About the podcast

Work rarely follows the handbook. This podcast brings together the people who make difficult decisions about teams, careers and organisations — and asks what actually happened, what changed their mind and what they would do differently next time.
Expect practical conversations about recruitment, leadership, People and Culture, career growth, AI in HR, cross-cultural work and the communication problems that appear when teams operate across countries.

Season 1 was originally released as HR Circle, a joint editorial project by International HR Club and UnifyHub. Future seasons are produced and published by UnifyHub.
Season 1 was originally released as HR Circle, a joint editorial project by UnifyHub and International HR Club, and was co-hosted with Timur Novopashin.
