We interview people who are making a real difference in the world to improve people's lives. Humanli is here to make social impact happen.
This is a special live recording of our webinar panel discussion 'Maintaining Company Culture Post-Covid'.
COVID-19 has changed many aspects of working life. It forced organisations to swiftly adopt new ways of working, which may have previously been met with resistance. As we start to return to offices and general workspaces, organisations now have the opportunity to reimagine their work and the role they need to play in creating safe, productive, and enjoyable jobs and lives for employees.
Now is the time we can consciously shape our company culture based on our learnings from working during COVID-19.
In Humanli's first webinar event 'Maintaining Company Culture Post-Covid', our expert panel featuring Catherine Duffy, General Manager at Northern Trust, Sinéad Egan, People and Change Consultant at KPMG and Conor Brophy, Managing Director of Strategic Communications at Teneo, discuss how we can use the pandemic to shape our company culture going forward.

This is a session not to be missed from a panel of thought and business leaders,

In this episode Karl Daly of Humanli chats with Meghann Scully, Radio/TV Presenter/Journalist/Blogger/Author to hear all about her new publication Little Pocket Of Love. Meghann talks candidly about a wonderful life that was changed almost overnight with the loss of her Brother and only sibling and within a matter of one year her Father. This is her second book and is a message of HOPE that no matter how bad life is, everything will be ok. We welcome you in to listen and learn from a very personal but real story.
Brendan Ring chats with Karl on the reasons himself and his wife Terry set up Cliona's Foundation. This is a very personal story about what happened to their young daughter, Cliona and the long and painful journey they all undertook together as a family. Brendan tells us about the horrible news they got out of the blue one day when Cliona came home from school having hurt her head in an accident in the classroom. What happened after that is a story you hope you never have to experience BUT the fact is hundreds of families go through something similar each year in Ireland. It is also a story of good, a legacy left behind and a hope instilled by Brendan, Terry and everyone involved in Cliona's Foundation that there is a helping hand reaching out to those in need. It was a pleasure to put this together.
In this very first Humanli podcast, Meghann Scully chats with Karl Daly Founder and Social Impact specialist. Karl spent over 30 years in the Financial Services industry but in early 2019 decided to change direction and founded this new business in the Social Impact space. Humanli is here to assist Companies implement a focused social impact programme and to make a real difference in their communities. Humanli is also creating a 'family' of charities and community groups that once they meet certain criteria can plug into the network and be matched with a suitable corporate partner. Social Return on Investment is measured to give both the Company donor and Charity/Community group a result to measure the impact the collaboration has made. Following research in this area it has been established that Companies often come up short in certain areas and need a process as opposed to a reactionary 'tick the box' approach where Social Impact, Corporate Sponsorship etc is concerned. Then on the Charity side it can be difficult to engage with Companies and get support. This is where Humanli comes in to create the link between the resource and the beneficiary. The whole idea of the phenomenal good that can be achieved is explained in this first episode.....enjoy!
