What if?
Work. magazine

The podcast that dares to think differently about people and business. What if?, from the CIPD’s Work. magazine, asks curious and unexpected questions about everything from inclusion to artificial intelligence. And it brings together world-leading experts, including academics, authors and business leaders, to try and find some answers. If you’ve ever wondered whether it would be better if your colleagues knew your salary, or if we should all just work from home forever, this is the place to explore ideas and think the previously unthinkable.
