The Growth Bites Podcast
Season 3, Episode 8: Amanda Capon
Adapting to the Future of Work: AI, People and the End of 9-5
In this episode of Growth Bites, Jo talks to Amanda Capon, Chief People Officer at idverde UK with decades of experience shaping workplace culture and strategy.
Together, they unpack the real implications of AI and automation on work, beyond the buzzwords we’re seeing online every day. Amanda shares how she’s already using AI day-to-day, what the shift means for HR and people leaders and why it’s more about augmentation than elimination.
They explore the growing need for ethical guardrails, practical strategies for closing the human and technical skills gap, and why reverse mentoring, career mosaics, and flexible contracts could be the key to a stronger, more human workplace.
If you’re grappling with productivity, retention, tech adoption or the future shape of your team, this one’s essential!
