Ep 5: Antisemitism, temperature and firing HR
-
Narrated by:

By:
This month's episode of the Personnel Today HR Podcast, brought to you by Deel, explores antisemitism in the workplace – how it differs to other forms of discrimination, and what employers can do to tackle it. With the recent hot weather, we also look at calls for the UK to introduce a maximum working temperature, and we reflect on a fintech CEO's decision to eliminate his HR team.
Every month, we focus on some of the most significant events of the previous weeks and delve into the implications for HR professionals.
Renowned author and business psychologist Professor Binna Kandola, co-founder of Pearn Kandola, joins the team to discuss the experiences of Jewish employees in the UK. How does this form of discrimination manifest itself in workplaces and how what should employers do to address it?
We look at a recommendation from the UK's Climate Change Committee on introducing a maximum workplace temperature and the best ways to cope with working during a heatwave.
And we look into comments made by the CEO of US fintech company Bolt about "getting rid of HR" because they "create problems that don't exist".
