Welcome to Work Unplugged, where we explore what it really takes to work with purpose, lead with impact, and engage people in a way that actually works - for companies, teams and individuals
In this week's podcast Laura Chamberlain explores the topic of personal branding and why so many leaders struggle with putting themselves 'out there'. Laura's insights provide a valuable reframing of personal branding as a tool for leaders to take ownership of their reputations. By focusing on authenticity, trust, and a clear framework, leaders can navigate their personal brand in a way that feels genuine and impactful. For a deeper dive into these concepts and more, tune into the full episode with Laura Chamberlain.

The Engagement Survey Season Trap
So, another survey, another wait for the results, and another surprise when they come out. The surprise might just be that very little has changed. We go through the cycle of surveys, analysing, sharing back and action planning. But nothing changes, and far from helping work, it feels often like a bigger distraction to work.
Why do we keep investing in engagement surveys, that continue to ask questions which have little relevant to our employees? Why do we not have a shared understanding of engagement, and does it matter? How do we make engagement surveys matter and improve the experiences of our employees to drive better business performance?
Amy from the &Evolve team joins Amrit to discuss all these issues and more in this episode of the Work Unplugged podcast.
