Insight HR

What’s really holding culture and performance back in today’s organisations? In our latest episode of The HR Room Podcast, we’re joined by Scott McInnes of Inspiring Change to discuss insights from the brand-new "Mind the Gap" CPO research report. Alongside our own Megan Power, Head of Change & Transformation at Insight HR, we explore the five biggest challenges that CPOs say are holding organisational culture back today: 1️⃣ Leadership Skill & Will — why culture must be led from the very top 2️⃣ The Manager Factor — how frontline managers make or break culture 3️⃣ Skills for Today and Tomorrow — building growth and learning into the fabric of work 4️⃣ Accountability for Values — moving beyond posters on the wall to everyday behaviours 5️⃣ Disconnection — tackling the cultural impact of hybrid, remote and multigenerational teams 🎙️ Together, Scott McInnes and Megan Power unpack what these findings mean for HR leaders, managers and business owners, and share practical steps to help close the gaps. This isn’t just about HR initiatives. It’s about building sustainable, high-performing cultures where people thrive and businesses grow. 👉 Tune in now- https://lnkd.in/eeqf5rxj 👉Download the report here - https://lnkd.in/eGznzbbz #HRPodcast #OrganisationalCulture #HRLeadership #FutureOfWork #EmployeeEngagement #CultureMatters #HRIreland
