    The Case for a Four-Day Week: What the Research Shows

    Most organisations are asking how to get more from their people. But what if the real question is how to get more from the time they spend at work?  In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Joe O'Connor, founder of Worktime Revolution, and Jared Lindzon, future-of-work journalist and author, to explore the research-backed case for the four-day working week, and what it means for how HR leaders design, lead and transform work.  Join them as they discuss:  Why the five-day working week is a relic of the industrial age  What the evidence from global pilots shows about productivity, wellbeing and retention Why organisations moving to a four-day week are also becoming faster AI adopters What it actually takes to make the transition work - and why culture and trust are the real foundations How HR leaders can shift the conversation from top-down mandate to shared, enthusiastic change  This episode is sponsored by TechWolf.  The world of work is being rewritten faster than HR systems can keep up. Skills age in months. Roles get redesigned quarter by quarter. CHROs have quietly become AI transformation leads, and the data they need to lead it doesn't exist in any HR system.  That's why the world's most forward-looking enterprises such as HSBC, AMD, T-Mobile, GSK, ServiceNow, Pfizer, have built on TechWolf. As the data layer for the AI era of work, TechWolf gives enterprises the skills, they need to move faster and lead with confidence.  Skills Intelligence, Work Intelligence, and Market Intelligence, in one layer.

    From CHRO to Chief Work Officer: The Next Evolution of HR Leadership

    Are organisations overlooking one of the most important drivers of employee experience and performance?  For many, the workplace is still treated as a fixed asset - something to manage for cost and capacity, rather than something to actively design around how work actually happens.  In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by Phil Kirschner, Workforce Experience Consultant and author of the famous newsletter, The Workline, to explore why workplace strategy continues to sit outside of core HR and people analytics conversations - and why that needs to change.  Drawing on his experience across Credit Suisse, JLL, WeWork, and McKinsey, Phil shares a more practical view of what organisations are missing - from the lack of basic workplace data, to the assumptions that still shape many workplace decisions today.  So, hit play to learn more about:  Why workplace strategy is still disconnected from workforce strategyThe key data points organisations should be trackingHow leading organisations are starting to think differently about the purpose of the officeWhat the “Chief Work Officer” role looks like in practiceWhy AI is increasing - not reducing - the importance of workplace and experience design This episode is sponsored by Visier.  Visier Workforce AI is your GPS for workforce decisions.

    Rethinking L&D for an AI-Driven World

    Are we finally at a point where the way we’ve approached workplace learning no longer works?  For years, organisations have invested heavily in learning platforms, content libraries and structured programmes. But if we’re honest, much of it still feels disconnected from how people actually learn today - especially in a world where employees can pick up new skills instantly using AI tools.  So what does effective learning look like now? And how do organisations build an AI-ready workforce without falling back on outdated models?  In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by Chris Eigeland, Founder and CEO of Go1, to explore how workplace learning is evolving - and what HR and L&D leaders need to do differently.  Drawing on his experience working with L&D practitioners across the globe, Chris shares practical insights on:  Why traditional approaches to learning are struggling to keep up How AI is changing not just what we learn, but how we learnWhere organisations are making real progress with AI upskilling - and where they’re falling shortWhether technology can finally reduce the compliance burden on HR teamsWhat HR and L&D leaders should prioritise over the next 12–18 months  This episode is sponsored by Go1.   Go1 partners with L&D leaders around the world to turn AI into a workforce advantage, combining trusted learning expertise with an AI toolkit designed for organisational assessment and skills strategy, ready to deploy when teams need it.     "With a learning delivery suite designed to deliver expert-led content through AI functionality, Go1 helps people build the skills to work confidently alongside AI"     Learn more at go1.com/ai-with-go1      Hosted on Acast.
