Creating A Culture Of Care In 2024 with Claire Harrison

This week, we are joined by Claire Harrison, the Head of People at Burnetts, one of the biggest law firms in Northern England. Claire has had a broad career having previously worked as a project management and secondary school teacher. She is using all her previous work experience to help people find a better work-life balance in her capacity as the head of HR.

Claire is passionate about improving employee engagement and is here today to share how she is creating a culture of care for both employees and the business.

Here are the highlights:

(06:53) Change in any organisation can only happen if you've got senior management buy in.

(13:12) People appreciate the fact that they are being paid a good salary for what they do

(14:47) At the end of the day being a good manager is just all about caring!

(22:03) If you invest in your staff, you get the returns.

(28:09) You’ve got to speak the same language as the people who are listening

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion

Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast.

We’re Ngozi Weller and Obehi Alofoje, Directors at Aurora — a leadership and organisational effectiveness consultancy.

This podcast explores how the way organisations are led shapes performance, trust, wellbeing and culture over time.

The challenge with many approaches to wellbeing and culture is that they place responsibility on individuals to cope, rather than examining the leadership decisions, behaviours and systems that create the conditions people are working within.

This is where the conversation needs to shift.

On The Wellbeing Rebellion, we explore leadership behaviour, organisational systems and decision-making under pressure through honest conversations with senior leaders and advisors navigating real organisational complexity.

Some episodes are just us. Others bring in leaders and experts reflecting candidly on what works, what doesn’t, and what leadership requires in practice.

If you’re responsible for people, culture or organisational performance — and want to think more critically about how leadership shapes outcomes — this podcast is for you.
