?? In this episode, Josh discusses:

1. How to attract and retain diverse talent
2. The importance of psychological safety and inclusive workplace culture
3. Practical strategies for supporting employee mental health and wellbeing

?? What advice Josh had for future HR leaders:

"I think it's really important to have a culture in your team where people feel safe to challenge you as a leader, and that almost like it's kind of, you know, you're rewarded for it. Because there's nothing worse than not feeling like you can say what you think."

"People shouldn't feel fearful of trying new things. The best time to try something new and actually change is when things are going well rather than waiting for things to go wrong."
