2. Should we scrap HR? A CEO says he doesn't need HR in his business...do you agree?
Mar 05, 2021 Season 1 Episode 2

Hello and welcome back to the show!

In this week's episode we are talking about the CEO of Octopus Energy and his claim that he doesn't need HR in the business.

When you heard this what was your reaction? Did you bristle at the idea that your contribution may not be necessary? Or did you think he may have a valid point?

Well, today we are talking about our reactions and whether there is a case to at least ASK ourselves whether HR is contributing the business in the best way possible.

There is a reason this show is called The Human Revolutionaries Show.  HR can do more than manage the human resources in a compny. They can revolutionise how people contribute to the success of the business. And maybe that revolutionary thinking should start with HR itself?

We also talk about about home schooling and home education in this one - hope you've been coping OK!
