Having A NatteRR returns with a brand new episode.
This week, Simon, David and Imogen discuss the case of Flatman v Essex County Council.

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!

Robinson Ralph return for a special episode of 'Having A NatteRR'.
This week, Simon, David, Jane and Samuel are joined by Catrin Asbrey, Group HR Director to talk about Sellers v Doers in the workplace.
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.

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!
