The Cost of Not: Early Careers with Richard Freeborn

Continuing her ‘Cost of Not’ podcast series, Hope Milne, Manager at Annapurna, recently sat down with Richard Freeborn, Ex VP Global Talent Acquisition & Global Employee Experience at adidas, for a discussion around ‘The Cost of Not: Early Careers’.

During the podcast, Richard explained that he uses one simple metric to measure the health & forward-thinking ability of an organisation’s HR function. That metric is their early careers programme.

Richard elaborates on this point by highlighting that HR functions with good, strategic, early career programmes often hold the same characteristics;

– Understanding of the need to invest in people for long-term benefits
– Great stakeholders
– HR function is strategically aligned with the global direction of the organisation

If you’re looking to future-proof your workforce and stay ahead of the competition, improving your early-careers programme is crucial. This episode will tell you how to do exactly that.
