Welcome back to the HR L&D Podcast, where we explore the latest trends and innovations in the world of Human Resources and Learning & Development.


I'm your host, Nick Day, and today, I have the privilege of hosting Andrew Swiler, an HR tech pioneer and investment visionary, to the show!  


Andrew is also the CEO of Lanteria, a leading workforce development and HR management suite for Office 365, and he is dedicated to helping businesses cultivate a culture of high performance, talent development, optimised performance, and sustainable growth.  It is also worth noting that Lanteria.com has earned recognition as the top HRMS for Microsoft users.


Andrew brings a wealth of expertise in various aspects of HR tech, including remote team management, harnessing software to supercharge HR capacity, building high-performing sales teams, software acquisitions, employee engagement strategies, as well as best practices for offshore hiring. 


Key Learnings:

  • Empathy in Leadership: Successful leaders often possess strong empathy, fostering positive relationships and work environments.
  • HR Software Implementation: Effective HR software can streamline processes, but establishing a strong culture and management practices is essential first.
  • Managing Remote Teams: Remote work offers global talent access but requires hiring individuals who value ownership and autonomy.
  • AI and Analytics in HR: AI tools like Microsoft Copilot can simplify tasks and enable data-driven decisions to enhance retention and engagement.
  • Case Study - OSM Shipping: Lanteria’s software facilitated smooth mergers and acquisitions, demonstrating its role in integrating HR systems and streamlining onboarding.

About the Podcast

The HR L&D Podcast
Leadership, recruitment, culture. Conversations with HR's best
HR gets handed the problems nobody else wants to own. The restructure, the grievance, the engagement survey that came back badly. And then gets asked why people are leaving.

I'm Nick Day. I run an HR recruitment agency, which means I spend most of my week on the phone to HR directors, HR leaders and people leaders talking about what the job is actually like rather than what's written on the job spec. This HR Podcast came out of those calls. I kept hearing things worth repeating, and nobody was repeating them.

Every week I sit down with HR leaders, chief people officers, L&D specialists and the occasional academic who has changed how I think about work and people engagement. We get into leadership, and what happens when someone brilliant at the technical side gets promoted into managing humans.

Employee engagement past the survey score. Diversity, equity and inclusion in a climate where saying those words out loud has become a decision in itself. Pay transparency, talent management, reducing bias in hiring, HR digital transformation and the HCM systems everyone is being sold. And of course we cannot forget HR AI tools and platforms that are flooding the landscape as AI in HR becomes a hot topic every people leader is keen to understand and leverage.

Wellbeing comes up constantly, and it usually turns into the same question. Who looks after the HR team.

I'm not an HR practitioner and I don't pretend to be. I'm the person who hires them, which puts me in a useful position. I get to ask the obvious question that everyone in the room already knows the answer to and nobody says.

No script and no polite version. Mostly it's the conversation you'd have with someone doing your job at a different company, if you ever got the chance to sit down with them.

If you work in HR, people management or L&D, or you're building a career in it, start by subscribing to The HR L&D Podcast. We have had guests including Stephen Covey, Alan Stein Jnr, Andrea Wareham and Dr. Thom Mayer among other HR Leaders who are shaping the future of work and leadership.
