In this episode, Sarah Ropek and Claire Cathcart explore what managers really need to know about HR - and what they don’t.

From the blurred lines between manager responsibility and HR support to the reality of handling feedback, documentation and difficult conversations, they break down where managers often get stuck and why. They discuss the risks of avoiding “people stuff”, the importance of getting comfortable with core HR basics, and how the right support, training and tools can make managing people far less daunting - and far more effective.
