Episode notes

Perry Timms has spent over thirty years at the forefront of HR thinking, not as a commentator, but as a practitioner, builder, and relentless advocate for what the people profession could become if it was brave enough to evolve.

In this episode Elly sits down with the founder of PTHR, TEDx speaker, and the UK's most consistently influential HR thinker to talk about the HR operating model he has built, the polymorphic organisation, his toughest year on record, how HR earns its seat at the table, and why the future of work is deeply, stubbornly human.
