Welcome to our Tap’d Talks HR 2025 Christmas Compilation, our annual episode where we look back at the standout insights from the year and share highlights from conversations with experts across the world of work.
2025 has been shaped by major political and economic change, and as the year closes it’s a chance to reflect on what matters most for our workplaces, and for our own growth going into 2026.
In this special episode, we curate key takeaways from across the year, including:
- Line manager capability and why line managers are the “glue” of culture (Laura Weaving)
- Leading through crisis and the power of authentic leadership (Lisa-Maree Blumenfeld)
- Internal comms in volatile moments, including a practical “needs” model for employees (Alison Arnot)
- Neuroscience for organisational change in a hybrid world (Hilary Scarlett)
- Happiness, engagement and performance (Lord Mark Price / WorkL)
- Supporting people through pivotal life moments: returning parents (Kirstie Sneyd) and menopause (Sam Mancey)
- AI in the workplace and where it helps rather than threatens (Julia Yong / EngineAI)
- Fair-chance hiring and accessing overlooked talent (Jacob Hill / Offploy)
- Moral injury in HR and how it can show up in the role (Dr. Natalie Isaia / Empresa Psychology)
- Plus a look at Tap’d’s own work, including the Sustainable Performance Framework, and reflections from Tap’d’s 10-year anniversary.
