Explore what it takes to make employee listening a genuine performance lever in 2026 & beyond.

5th August 2026 On-demand FREE

The WorkBuzz Summer Series. Across four podcast episodes, Mel and Ryan explore the themes at the heart of employee engagement in 2026 & beyond.

Employee listening is one of the most powerful levers an organisation has, yet too many treat it as a tick-box exercise rather than a genuine performance driver.

The WorkBuzz Summer series dives into what organisations genuinely moving the needle are doing differently.

Each episode closes with two concrete takeaway tips, giving HR leaders, people professionals, and business decision-makers something practical to take back to their organisations.

Across the series, Melisaan Foster (Chief Experience Officer at WorkBuzz) and Ryan Tahmassebi (People Science Director at WorkBuzz) dig into the themes at the heart of engagement in 2026 - with a frontline focus throughout, because a huge proportion of the workforce isn't at a desk, and the listening ambition has to change to reach them.
