Having A NatteRR

Having A NatteRR with Carolyn Hobdey - Part 1

Robinson Ralph presents a special episode of ‘Having A NatteRR’ featuring the wonderful Carolyn Hobdey.

Simon, David and Carolyn discuss the issue of bullying and grievances within HR and the particular strains and stresses which individuals who work within HR have faced, and are continuing to face in the current climate.

More specifically, they discuss:

• How to navigate bullying accusations;
• What to do when a grievance is levelled against HR; and
• The importance of self-care within HR when it comes to burn out and stress.

With Carolyn’s wide range of experience, particularly in relation to mentoring individuals within HR, it’s an episode you cannot afford to miss. In fact, it's such a good episode that it comes in two parts!

It will be obvious to the listener that Catrin elevates the podcast to a far more respectable level with her insightful contributions about a very interesting topic. It was a pleasure to have Catrin on the podcast and we look forward to hopefully welcoming her back on a future episode.

Simon, David, Jane and Samuel discuss the case of Hurley v East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust. In this case, the Employment Tribunal upheld the Claimant's claim for constructive unfair dismissal after she resigned following a series of events, which included being the subject of a "practical joke" when her manager tricked her into believing that she had to deliver a 3 hour presentation the following day.

Simon talks about what he got for his birthday this week and we also explore the links that Samuel has with 'The Lord of the Rings'.

Everyone reveals their middle name (apart from Jane who mysteriously doesn’t have one) and there’s a bit of a chat about snow. Truly ground-breaking stuff!

There’s also a brief and rare appearance from Juliet on the podcast as well as a rambling and uninformed discussion about coconuts, which we think Dave has got confused with bowling balls.

Having A NatteRR - The Christmas Party Episode

As a special treat for anyone who follows this absolute shambles of a podcast, Simon, David and Samuel present a special episode of 'Having A NatteRR'.

The guys talk about their views on and experiences of workplace Christmas parties. They've actually surprised themselves a little bit in that they think this episode is quite decent and they don't completely regret having recorded it. As always though, you can be the judge of whether they should or not!

Having A NatteRR - Series 3: Episode 8

Robinson Ralph returns for the final episode in Series 3 of ‘Having A NatteRR'.

Simon, David and Samuel discuss the case of Crompton v Eden Private Staff Limited. In this case, an Employment Tribunal awarded £900 to the 57-year-old Claimant who was the victim of age discrimination and harassment due to being repeatedly asked by her boss if she was having "a senior moment".

Enthralling stuff as usual.

The Claimant suffers from ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. A manager for the Respondent approached the Claimant and both insulted and intimidated him by repeatedly referring to him as “dodgy”.

Simon also talks about his former dream of becoming a pilot and how he would transform the designs of fighter jets. A very unique discussion which will live long in the memory.

Having A NatteRR - Series 3: Episode 6

Robinson Ralph bring you another edition of its unforgettable podcast, ‘Having A NatteRR’.

Simon, David and Samuel discuss the case of Ryan v South West Ambulance Services NHS Trust.

There’s also a bit of a chat about sweets, chocolate and wine. If that isn’t a winning combination then who knows what is?
