Are you onboarding someone new?

You’re taking on a mountain of personal data, and how you handle it matters more than ever. In the 91st episode of our podcast, I sit down with human resource consultant Julie Marsh to discuss the legal and data protection responsibilities every employer must tackle during the employee onboarding process. From checking right-to-work documents, running references and security checks to reviewing social media and handling sensitive personal information, it’s all part of the hiring journey. But if you're not managing that data carefully, you could be exposing your business to unnecessary risk. We dissected how employers can legally and responsibly collect, store, and use employee data and why good onboarding is also good data governance. Tune in now and make sure you're doing onboarding the right way—for your team and your data.

Is your business using software the smart way or just getting by? In the energising 90th episode of my podcast, I’m joined once again by Jonathan Cozens, author of Clarity Driven, to dive into practical lessons from the second part of his book on using software wisely in business management. We explore how software fits into modern business automation, why professionals often undervalue their role in tech decisions, and how fear can cloud business judgement. Jonathan and I shared real-life insights on the importance of customising tools to fit your business needs. Whether you’re choosing new tools or questioning if your current systems are working, this conversation is a must-watch for you.

Together with Jonathan Cozens (author of Clarity Driven) I explore how the principles in his book link directly to smart, responsible data handling in today’s business environment. We kick off with what inspired Jonathan to write the book and dive into why assuming things in business—without data—is a risky game. From there, we dissect how data-driven decision-making can transform how organisations operate and why data is not just useful but the lifeline of any modern business. We also chat about the kinds of data security businesses should have in place and how making data protection part of your overall business strategy is no longer optional—it's essential. Jonathan breaks down how Clarity Driven addresses both the “why” and the “what” of decision making, offering relatable insights for business leaders, data professionals, and anyone who wants to build a culture of clarity and compliance. So this episode is for you if you are into GDPR, business strategy, or just want to stop making decisions based on gut feelings!
