ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗

Welcome to The Work Couch podcast, law firm RPC's brand new sparkly podcast, where we discuss all things employment.


Brought to you by the award-winning employment team at RPC, we'll be discussing the whole spectrum of employment law, with the emphasis firmly on people. Every other week, we'll be exploring those thorny HR issues that People teams and in-house counsel are facing right now and discuss the practical ways to tackle them.


Hosted by Ellie Gelder, Senior Content Lead in the Employment, Engagement and Equality team at RPC, we'll explore the constantly evolving - and consistently challenging - world of employment law and all the curve balls that it brings to businesses today.


Not only will we be tapping into the expertise of our fabulous employment lawyers, we'll also from time to time hear from individuals about their lived experiences of the particular issue in question, from both employer and employee perspectives.


This is not just any employment law podcast. It's informal; we want to discuss topics in an accessible and engaging way so that you can digest it easily and come away feeling confident and motivated to address your people challenges.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
