🎙️ Buzzing About HR

Straight-talking HR for the people doing payroll, sales and playing workplace therapist before lunch.

If you run a UK small business, or you're the HR-of-one trying to keep the wheels on, this podcast is for you.

No corporate jargon.

No "synergy."

Just real answers to the people's problems no one warned you about.

Hosted by award-winning HR expert Kate Underwood, each episode tackles the moments small business owners actually face:

The employee who's brilliant at the job and causes chaos in the team

The manager who avoids hard conversations until they turn into a bonfire

The "small issue" grievance that suddenly becomes a formal complaint

The sickness pattern is suspiciously linked to Mondays and payday

The resignation that makes you think, " What did we miss?"

You'll get plain-English UK employment law, practical advice on perform
