In HRchat episode 790, I talk with Idris Arshad, Head of People at Asthma + Lung UK and one of the UK’s Top 10 HR Most Influential Practitioners.
Tune in as Idris shares his journey of challenging stereotypes and redefining the role of HR as an integral force in supporting charitable missions.
Idris discusses the role of the CIPD in driving HR excellence and how transparency and data-driven strategies can foster a more inclusive work environment. We also touch on the big issue of declining DEI efforts in many corporate and governmental spheres and what this means for future DEI trajectories.
