?EP1: MICHAEL FRACCARO - How Mastercard is Using AI to Drive Employee Success and Leadership Growth
We are constantly monitoring the health of our culture, because ultimately, it is the differentiator in terms of if you're going to be successful, not just hit your numbers but the way in which people feel about your brand, about your organisation.
From integrating AI into their HR processes, to becoming a skills-based organisation, Mastercard is setting the standard for how the people function can be a strategic partner to the business. So, it was a privilege that my guest for episode 1 of this series of the Digital HR Leaders podcast was Michael Fraccaro , Chief People Officer at Mastercard.
In our conversation, we discuss:
(Have a) clear picture around what value you bring…developing a people strategy, which answers the question about not just how you're attracting, retaining, and developing talent, but what you're doing to differentiate that's going to help enable and drive the business

EP2: MICHAEL ARENA – What the Impact of Distributed Work on Organisational Networks Tells Us About the Future of Talent Management
(Our research shows) the ideal team size for engagement and retention of individual employees is somewhere between six and ten people... you feel you belong to a team, you're more likely to stay, and you've got better engagement.
In the second episode of the series, my guest was Michael Arena , formerly a senior HR leader at GM and Amazon and a pioneer in Organisational Network Analysis (ONA), to discuss what the latest research on network analysis teaches us about hybrid working, team sizes, and the importance of social capital.
In our conversation, Michael and I discuss:
Fast movers build relational energy... They create network pull. Rather than focusing only on executing, they focus on building relationships and helping others get results, and that pulls them into the centre of the network faster.

EP3: JASON SCHECKNER – How Talent Orchestration Connects AI Investments to Real Business Results
With orchestration, we can activate internal mobility for 100% of employees without requiring them to update their profiles. This drives better engagement and retention by meeting employees where they are.
In the middle episode of the series, my guest was Jason Scheckner , Senior Director of Business Strategy for HiredScore at Workday . We discussed how talent orchestration is key to unlocking AI’s full potential and transforming HR operations into a strategic powerhouse.
[Talent orchestration] is really about outcomes. Insights are great, automation is great, but at the end of the day, we care about, are we fundamentally changing the way businesses are driving talent?
Together, we discuss:
We use the phrase 'the new UI is no UI'—if I meet the employee where they are, I get a higher success rate. We're seeing about 40% increase in internal applications at one of our customers with this approach.?

EP4: ANISH LALCHANDANI - The Four Reskilling Principles Every HR Leader Should Know
When measuring the impact of reskilling, we need to go beyond traditional ROI. It’s about creating business value—looking at innovation, solving business problems, and saving costs by redeploying talent rather than resorting to redundancies.
My guest for the penultimate episode of the series was Anish Lalchandani , Global Head of Talent Management at Maersk and author of The Skills Advantage: A Human-Centered, Sustainable, and Scalable Approach to Reskilling .
Almost a quarter of jobs are expected to change in the next five years, with 69 million new jobs created and 83 million eliminated. Reskilling is not just a corporate priority; it’s a global imperative that impacts workers, organisations, and governments alike.
In the episode, Anish and I explore:

EP5: LARA WAINWRIGHT AND DUNCAN REYNELL – How Digital Transformation Fuels Skills and EX at Lloyds Banking Group
Last year was (all about) getting the skills engine running… building a banking-specific, technology-focused, and strategically aligned skills taxonomy. This year is around how we segment and personalise…we’ve created skills academies focused on key colleague groups. Next year, is how we mature our skills approach…get those skills foundations in place… how skills connect within the colleague lifecycle.
As digital transformation redefines industries, organisations are faced with the challenge of building a workforce equipped for rapid change. At Lloyds Banking Group, this shift is driving a bold move towards a skills-based organisation, where agility, adaptability, and continuous learning are core to its evolution.
In the final episode of the series, I welcomed two leaders from Lloyds Banking Group who are at the heart of this transformation: Lara Wainwright , Product Owner and Lab Lead, People Platform and Duncan Reynell , Group Talent & Development Director.
In our conversation, Lara, Duncan and I discuss:
Productivity is a big priority for us. We see that with the enhancement of AI and automation, around where we can surface up ways to support our colleagues in their day-to-day work…they can have more enriching experiences.
