The podcast, from one of Australia&#8217;s leading HR experts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/natashahawker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Natasha Hawker<\/a>, was established last year to bring the latest information to support business leaders and managers through COVID-19, so that they don\u2019t just survive \u2013 but thrive. The podcast features a wide range of HR and workplace topics through interviews with leading proponents in areas including public policy, mental health, industrial relations and employment law, workplace health and safety, parenting, accounting and economics.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the people Natasha is interviewing in Season 2 include Kate Carnell, Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman; Nicki Hutley, Partner at Deloitte Access Economics; and Leanne Pilkington, Head of The Real Estate Institute of Australia.<\/p>\n<p>At RingCentral, we share Natasha\u2019s core belief that your employees are your greatest asset, and should be treated as such. That\u2019s been a key factor for organisations who have successfully navigated the challenges over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFostering an inclusive and connected workplace has been a core value with which our employees dealt with all the transitions and changes brought about by 2020,\u201d wrote our Chief People Officer Gunjan Aggarwal in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/employees-know-best-ringcentral-ranks-18-on-glassdoors-2021-best-places-to-work-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Embracing inclusivity and diversity in the workplace has been particularly challenging worldwide due to the range of social and political turmoil we have had to endure, magnified by the pressures of dealing with a global pandemic.
