In our latest podcast episode, Emma Boswell, Senior Consultant at The Culture Builders, and Ras Vaghjiani, Executive Vice President of People Experience at ASOS, explore what a true high performance culture looks like when it is built from the bottom up. They share the insights from their work on balancing people and performance to drive transformation whilst ensuring people thrive at work. Reflecting on the path to the C-suite, Ras shares the pivotal moments that taught her that leadership isn't about being the ultimate expert, but about removing roadblocks and holding the space for others to grow.

Ras also opens up about navigating today's biggest workplace disruptions, including how she is building a brand-new enablement team to get thousands of employees ‘AI-ready’ for the future.
