Saturday, 1 November 2025 - 59 minutes

Welcome to another lively episode of HR Unboxed with Natalie, Fay and Chris! This week, things get a little personal – and occasionally hilarious – as the team are joined by special guest Adam from Breathe HR for a deep dive into how digital HR systems can transform your workplace.

From sticky notes and lost holiday forms to #Smellgate and the infamous toilet door holiday planner, this episode explores the real-world chaos of paper-based HR and how Breathe’s smart, secure and simple software brings order to the madness. Expect plenty of laughter, a few cringe-worthy office confessions, and honest insight into why modern HR isn’t about replacing people with robots — it’s about freeing them to focus on what really matters.

Plus, the trio discuss office banter gone wrong, kudos systems that get a little too cheeky, and the strange realities of “duvet days” and “planned sick leave.” Whether you’re an HR professional, a small business owner, or just love a good workplace story, this episode will have you nodding along, laughing, and maybe even rethinking how you manage your team.
