Human at Work

Human at Work is a podcast hosted by Anitta Krishan, exploring the real, often unspoken realities of leading People and Culture in complex, fast-moving organisations.

Through candid conversations with senior People leaders from global companies, the podcast goes beyond theory and frameworks. Guests share honest stories from across their careers. The tough calls, the missteps, the moments of doubt, and the lessons that only come from being in the seat.

Each episode unpacks what it truly means to build culture at scale, navigate change, support leaders, and stay human while balancing commercial pressure. More importantly, listeners walk away with practical insights they can apply in their own organisations.

Because culture isn't built in playbooks. It's built in real life.
