Sir Cary Cooper

In an episode of Oven-Ready HR, Chris Taylor talks to organisational culture and employee wellbeing expert Professor Sir Cary Cooper about hybrid working and how the ‘great resignation’ has a lot to do with poor leadership.

Cary remarks that a significant driver of the so called ‘great resignation’ was in part employees’ dissatisfaction with their boss. He thinks this has led some in HR to think about whether they have managers with the right skills in place. He also takes us back to the psychological contract and tells us to look at hybrid in a different way.
