Culture really isn't big strategies and Townhalls. It's the everyday small behaviours; what is welcomed, accepted or celebrated. What is tolerated or ignored? These things shape culture much more than posters or senior leader presentations. Learning how an organisation communicates and what matters to the team and people allows you to truly understand how to shift a culture.

At the HR Summit & Expo (#HRSEDXB), one topic clearly resonated across every discussion retaining skilled employees. It’s not just about keeping people from leaving. It’s about keeping them engaged, motivated, and growing within an environment that fuels purpose and belonging. According to recent SHRM insights, 40% of leaders report retaining skilled employees as one of their top challenges closely tied to maintaining morale and developing effective leadership pipelines. In my view, talent retention is no longer a function of compensation or perks. It’s the outcome of: ✅ Clear career pathways and learning opportunities ✅ Empowering leadership that listens and develops people ✅ A culture of recognition and psychological safety ✅ Continuous growth aligned with the organization’s vision Retention begins long before a resignation letter appears it starts the moment someone feels seen, supported, and stretched.

Great article from Marc, very pertinent to the conversations we are having at BAT right now. I feel like HR has been ‘transforming’ since I started 20 years ago, but there’s no doubt there’s still work to do. Which is lucky.

Because in turbulent times, clarity is a competitive advantage. Less noise. More focus. Higher payoff. #letsgo
