In the Spotlight with Estelle Hollingsworth (Chief People Officer at McArthurGlen Group)

In this week’s episode, we are thrilled to be joined by Estelle Hollingsworth, who was the Chief People Officer at Virgin Atlantic at the time of recording and is now the Chief People Officer at McArthurGlen Group.

Estelle is a firm believer in the idea that employees perform at their best when they feel happy, secure, and valued - a belief that challenges the traditional idea that high performance comes solely from pressure and resilience.

She shares her perspective on why prioritising employee happiness isn’t just a ‘nice to have’ but a strategic advantage that leads to stronger business results.

Estelle also uses her experience to elaborate on other key areas surrounding leadership and HR professionals such as, the role of leadership in shaping workplace culture, the power of emotional intelligence, and how organisations can create environments where people thrive.

Whether you’re a leader, HR professional, or simply passionate about the future of work, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.
