Is purpose at work as straightforward as we've made it out to be?

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Jessica Zwaan, VP People Strategy and Operations at Leapsome and author of Built for People and Purpose and Work, to explore what the research actually tells us about purpose at work — and what that means for how HR shows up for people.

Join them as they discuss:

• Why treating HR like a product function changes the questions you ask
• What the research on purpose at work really reveals, and why the reality is more nuanced than the narrative
• What purpose washing is, how it happens, and what it can look like in practice
• What a more grounded alternative to purpose-led culture could look like
• Why really knowing your people is the foundation of all of it
• How perceptions of HR are evolving, and what's driving that shift

This episode is brought to you by Leapsome - the people-first HR platform that connects performance, engagement, and HR operations in one place, so you get a complete picture, not half the story.

How do you rebuild a company's entire capability infrastructure — and fund the transformation through the savings it generates?

Zaka Farhat is Global SVP for Talent, Learning, Organisation and Capability Development at GSK, where she leads the company's enterprise-wide skills, learning and capability agenda. In this episode, Zaka shares the full story of how GSK rebuilt its capability infrastructure in 18 months - retiring more than 20 legacy systems, building a single skills and learning ecosystem, and funding the transformation through the savings it generated.

Join them as David and Zaka discuss:

• Why GSK's skills transformation began with a commercial question about capability and cost
• The five conditions for organisational readiness that had to be in place before any platform launched
• How GSK approached skills taxonomy, job architecture and inference, and what they had to redo along the way
• What personalised learning looks like at scale, and how skills data is now shaping workforce planning decisions
• What GSK chose to stop, and why decommissioning is the step most transformations skip
• How Zaka's team is measuring impact across three KPI layers

How do the world's most forward-thinking organisations use skills intelligence, market intelligence and work intelligence together to stay ahead?

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by Mik Wornoo, co-founder and President of US at TechWolf, to explore how organisations are using three signals together to build a strategic workforce planning strategy that can keep pace with AI, and what that looks like in practice.

In this conversation, David and Mik discuss:

• What skills intelligence, work intelligence and market intelligence each bring to strategic workforce planning, and why all three matter
• What work intelligence actually means in practice, and how decomposing work into tasks is changing how organisations understand the impact of AI on their workforce
• How AI is actively reshaping roles right now, and what that means for strategic workforce planning, job architecture and redeployment
• Real-world case studies from organisations using all three signals to make smarter workforce decisions and align their people strategy with their AI strategy
• What it actually looks like to get started, and why the barrier to entry is lower than most HR leaders think
