Episode 258: Coleen Highfield, Chief People Officer at Foxtons on Why HR Must Be Unapologetically Brave

Coleen Highfield believes commercial success and people thriving at work go hand in hand. She shares how she has brought company cultures together after acquisitions, providing practical examples such as a six-week programme to help new colleagues feel part of the organisation, and pricing benefits harmonisation into the transaction, so everyone is on a level playing field.

As a single mum, Coleen speaks personally about talented women forced to pull back on their careers after having children. She introduces her upcoming book, Survive and Thrive for Working Mums, and describes the impact of a workplace children’s holiday club that doubled as a talent solution.

Coleen’s call to action for HR: be unapologetically brave in leading individualised ways of working.
