Not Another HRPodcast
Not Another HR Podcast is a practical, no-nonsense podcast about the realities of HR, employment law, and running businesses with people in them.
Hosted by HR consultant Alastair from EZHR and employment lawyer Rachel Rigg from Horsfield Menzies, the podcast explores the messy middle where employment law meets real workplaces.
Each episode tackles the issues HR professionals, managers and business owners are dealing with right now — from new legislation and tribunal trends to workplace culture, grievances, investigations and the occasional completely unexpected problem.
Rather than getting lost in legal theory, the focus is on what actually works in practice: how businesses are responding, where employers get caught out, and how HR teams can navigate the growing complexity of managing people.
Expect honest conversations, practical insight, and the occasional rant about policies no one reads.
If you work in HR, manage people, or run a business, this podcast is about figuring it out as we go along.
(All discussions are opinions and general commentary, not legal advice.)
