Show 124: Why and How Organisations Need to Change to Engage their Employees

Special Guest: Jane Ginnever, Founder of Shift

Having started her career in customer service roles, Jane joined the RAF as a commissioned officer in 1990 to develop her leadership skills and has been in leadership positions within organisations ever since. With significant experience of financial, facilities and HR management Jane decided to specialise in HR management following completion of a MBA with the Open University in 2007.

From 2009 to 2015 she led HR functions within 3 different businesses (between 70-650 employees), and she has recently founded Shift (http://www.shift-work.co.uk ), a management consultancy focussed on developing a culture of engagement and innovation within organisations through flexible working and performance management initiatives, fitting them for the future. Through her consultancy work she combines her knowledge of HR practice, experience of line management, change leadership and business effectiveness to help individual organisations change, with a view to changing the world of work.

We talk about why organisations need to change, Jane’s vision for the future of work and her practical experience of implementing culture change which have informed her views about what organisations need to do to really engage their people.
