In this special anniversary episode, we celebrate 5 years of conversations by bringing together four guests who have each helped shape the discussion around work, leadership, wellbeing, and inclusion: Sue Yell, Gethin Nadin, Eric Tinch, and Dr Nancy Doyle.

Rather than looking back at every episode, this conversation focuses on the bigger questions that have emerged across the past 70 discussions. What have we learned about people at work? Which assumptions have been challenged? And where do different perspectives still exist?

Together, we explore three themes that continue to define the future of work: change and execution, human connection, and growth and leadership. Along the way, our guests share reflections on how workplaces have evolved, the lessons leaders are still learning, and the human factors that remain constant despite ongoing change.

In episode 73 of The Human Factor Podcast, we explore one of the most important yet often overlooked drivers of workplace success: human connection.

As remote and hybrid working continue to reshape how we collaborate, many organisations are facing a growing challenge - how do we create genuine connection in environments where people can easily feel disconnected, isolated, or overlooked?

Joining us is John Cooper, Chief Connection Officer at Thomas. Together, we discuss why connection is far more than a “nice to have” in today’s workplace, and how it directly impacts engagement, wellbeing, collaboration, and organisational performance.

In episode 72 of The Human Factor Podcast, we explore how organisations can move beyond the limits of traditional enterprise systems and tackle the processes that still feel slow, fragmented, or broken.

Joining us is Ben Peters, Co-Founder and CEO of Cogna. Together, we discuss how AI is enabling a fundamentally different approach - one where organisations can rapidly understand how work actually happens, generate working prototypes in real time, and iterate towards better solutions at speed.
