The HR Uprising Podcast

The HR Uprising Podcast is hosted by Lucinda Carney, who brings a rare combination of credentials to the show: she is a chartered business psychologist, an experienced HR change agent, and the CEO of Actus Software, an HR technology company. Since 2019, Lucinda has produced 278 weekly episodes using two distinct formats. The "In Focus" episodes take a deep look at specific topics like data protection compliance, learning culture design, or performance management overhauls. The "Conversations With" series features interviews with HR and L&D professionals who share their experiences with succession planning, organizational culture shifts, and employee development. Episodes range from quick 5-minute updates to full 50-minute conversations. Recent shows have tackled employee mental health (including sensitive topics like suicide prevention in the workplace), alcohol and workplace culture, emotional intelligence in leadership, and how to build authenticity into corporate communications. The psychology background gives Lucinda a different lens than most HR hosts -- she tends to explore the behavioral science behind why certain approaches work or fail, rather than just describing what companies are doing. The show also has an active LinkedIn community where listeners continue discussions between episodes.
