In our first episode, we are delighted to welcome Amy Sowinska, EMEA Regional Head of HR for News UK. Amy is an inspiring HR leader who tells us that, although she sleeps well at night, worries of attrition and retention as well as effective communication in the business is front of mind first thing in the morning. In this webcast, Tom and Amy will be exploring why gaps in these areas could become an issue if not considered early, and how they filter in to;
- Culture in a dynamic, fast-paced, global business
- The D&I agenda
- The overarching HR transformation programme that News UK has going on in the background
- The future of work.
"The media industry is incredibly fast-paced and agile, we turn things around quickly; we have a saying in my team and News UK in general 'we get a paper out every day, why should anything in HR take longer'. Whilst this is true and we want to remain agile and flexible, things like D&I strategies and HR system implementations need careful consideration and take a little longer to do well". - Amy Sowinska, EMEA Regional Head of HR for News UK
