When should new employees get access to your organisation’s systems and data —before onboarding or after?

In the 92nd episode of our podcast, I sit down with HR Consultant Julie Marsh to discuss a question that many employers get wrong but can’t afford to ignore: the timing of system access for new hires.

We explore what’s at stake when access is given too early, why security and data protection should guide your decision-making, and how to balance efficiency with responsibility. Whether you're an HR professional, data controller, or business owner, this conversation unpacks the risks and best practices around onboarding, employee access, and personal data management. Listen in to learn how to get it right from both a GDPR and HR perspective!

Are you onboarding someone new?

You’re taking on a mountain of personal data, and how you handle it matters more than ever. In the 91st episode of our podcast, I sit down with human resource consultant Julie Marsh to discuss the legal and data protection responsibilities every employer must tackle during the employee onboarding process. From checking right-to-work documents, running references and security checks to reviewing social media and handling sensitive personal information, it’s all part of the hiring journey. But if you're not managing that data carefully, you could be exposing your business to unnecessary risk. We dissected how employers can legally and responsibly collect, store, and use employee data and why good onboarding is also good data governance. Tune in now and make sure you're doing onboarding the right way—for your team and your data.

In the energising 90th episode of my podcast, I’m joined once again by Jonathan Cozens, author of Clarity Driven, to dive into practical lessons from the second part of his book on using software wisely in business management. We explore how software fits into modern business automation, why professionals often undervalue their role in tech decisions, and how fear can cloud business judgement. Jonathan and I shared real-life insights on the importance of customising tools to fit your business needs. Whether you’re choosing new tools or questioning if your current systems are working, this conversation is a must-watch for you.
