The 8 Best HR Podcasts This Year

Podcasts.

Have you heard about these things?

They are basically episodes of talk radio that centralize around a certain theme.

And I’m not talking about your dad’s favorite AM talk radio that made you roll your eyes on the way to middle school (or was that just me?).

People make podcasts today about every subject known to man. There are podcasts about politics, chemistry, fiction, murder, and everything else you can think of.

So why has it taken so long for the HR scene to get into the podcast game?

We don’t know, but we are on a crusade to make HR podcasts hot by the end of this year!

Help us out with achieving this goal, and listen to one of the podcasts we have listed below.

For sustainable success, you need an integrated approach to workforce health engagement.
