EP 7: Jess’ Journey - Growing Up in a Small Town, Stepping into a Leadership Role and Her Passion for HR

In today’s episode, I’m having a conversation with Jess Badley. Jess is actually the wife of John Allen who was a guest in my 4th episode and he also interviewed me in the last episode!  

Jess is a Director of People and Resources at the British Society for Rheumatology and in her words, she is particularly interested in the links between wellbeing, flexible working and innovation and how this can transform an organisation’s culture and approach towards work. 

In our conversation, you’ll hear how she developed her career and how she navigated some of her top challenges as she stepped into a leadership role. 

She also shares her tips and advice for running successful & inclusive recruitments and inclusive working cultures, as well as advice for people wanting to completely change their career. 

She has a lot of wisdom to share and I’m sure you’ll learn a lot from our conversations!
