Introducing AHRI’s brand-new podcast, Let’s Take This Offline, conversations to inspire HR. In episode one, we discuss all things culture with Shane Hatton.

The type of work that often lights up an HR professional is often based around culture. It’s exciting work to sink your teeth into and, when done well, it can have significant impacts on an organisation’s bottom-line, in terms of creating engaging, energising work environments and attracting and retaining talent.

However, it can also be hard to get right, because the things that influence culture are often intangible. Also, it requires collective organisational buy-in, which can be challenging to get, in order to be more than just the values plastered on your walls.

In the first episode of AHRI’s new podcast, Let’s Take This Offline, our host Shelley Johnson, an experienced HR professional, dives into this topic with Shane Hatton, author, speaker and culture expert.

Hatton shares some great advice that HR professionals can apply no matter their industry or business size, and shares a real-life example of culture transformation in action based on work he’s done with the car hire company SIXT.
