Both Sides of the Desk

Newcastle Helix presents... Both Sides of the Desk.

One boss. One employee. Hear about work culture from Both Sides of the Desk. 

Be a fly on the office wall while host Charlie Charlton is caught between two people from very different levels of the same business. Join their honest- sometimes awkward- conversations about creating happy, highly-productive and sustainable workplaces.

Get trusted insights about retaining ambitious talent in the competitive global tech sector; ensuring social mobility through recruitment in a transatlantic law firm; the challenges of embedding true Corporate Social Responsibility in a private company; and as HR teams find ways to support childcare, hear the personal stories of a diverse workforce now increasingly caring for older relatives. 

The world of work is changing fast. These are real stories of the newly-empowered hybrid and remote workforce, its enlightened bosses and the challenges that brought them together.

BSOTD is a video podcast mini-series recorded and filmed with the community of the Helix Innovation District in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.
