​People don’t value friendships at work anymore! Did you know that? We didn't until we read the latest research, but that certainly changes the game for HR and people teams in 2023 and beyond. ​So does the fact that 59% are stressed by their monetary situation, just 14% think their feedback drives change and hiring freezes or redundancies are meaning HR teams need to do more with less. Emma Leonis-Hughes (Client Executive Director - HR Transformation, LACE Partners) and Carly Poulson (People + Culture Partner, Unleashed) joined us to discuss all of this, their recent HR research and more.
