Tom shares insights from his CHRO Impact Framework and reflects on how HR leaders can step into true enterprise leadership - shifting from a function-first to a system-first mindset and shaping the wider conditions for business performance. Tom explores the tension HR leaders face between short-term pressures and long-term impact, and the courage and curiosity needed to navigate both. He explains why the effectiveness of the executive team is central to culture and performance, and how HR leaders are uniquely placed to act as the strategic conscience of that team. He introduces his new framework, VETRA - vision, empathy, trust, resilience and agility - to help HR leaders elevate executive team effectiveness, strengthen relationships and foster psychological safety while keeping teams anchored in purpose. Tom shows how every conversation is a chance for HR leaders to step beyond their function and lead in ways that make organisations stronger, wiser and more human.

Geoff poses the bold question: what if (like going on a run or eating a healthy meal) work genuinely enhanced your life? Reflecting on the evolution of his thinking around workplace wellbeing, Geoff champions the idea that organisations must create cultures where people feel safe, energised, and able to thrive. He shares how the pandemic sparked wider recognition of HR’s role in wellbeing and how energy - fuelled by health and purpose - should sit at the heart of business strategy. Geoff challenges the current approach to wellbeing, questioning the impact of surface-level initiatives without addressing deeper cultural and structural issues. He calls for a shift from doing wellbeing to employees, to embedding it in an organisation - in leadership, systems and everyday practices. He highlights how short-term business pressures, outdated success measures and fear in the C-suite all contribute to wellbeing being undervalued. As a practical step, Geoff suggests integrating wellbeing into development conversations - asking how people are doing physically, mentally and emotionally. He encourages HR leaders to think beyond wellbeing and to consider colleagues’ energy - and to recognise that the energy of an organisation’s people is its most valuable asset.

Kate discusses driving change through inclusive people strategies rooted in strong commercial foundations. For example, Kate shares the story behind LifeWorks, the Clyde & Co’s gender-neutral parental leave policy that provides six months of fully paid leave. Backed by a strong business case, the policy has driven real impact - boosting retention, engagement, and uptake among men - showing how HR can influence both culture and business outcomes. Kate also shares how Clyde & Co is creating new pathways into the legal profession through initiatives such as solicitor apprenticeships, a paralegal academy, and the award-winning LIFT programme. These efforts support underrepresented talent by removing traditional barriers and offering paid placements. Rooted in the firm’s strategy of enabling everyone to thrive, this work reflects Kate’s own journey as the first in her family to attend university. Kate shares one wish for every HR leader: to build commercial and data-led storytelling capability, sharing her view that understanding business drivers and using data to make a compelling case is key to driving positive change.
