In this episode of the Yorkshire Business Podcast, host Chloe — a trauma-informed HR practitioner specialising in workplace sexual misconduct, sits down with seasoned Sheffield-based employment law solicitor, Liam Kenealy. Together, they unpack what the Worker Protection Act means for employers now it’s been in force for almost a year.

They explore the new preventative duty, what a “reasonable steps” defense looks like in practice, and how SMEs can prepare for the unpredictability of human behaviour in the workplace. This isn’t theory, it’s practical, Yorkshire-based expertise from HR and legal perspectives, designed to help employers protect their people and their businesses.

On this episode of the Yorkshire Business Podcast, host Chloe from OneSource HR is joined by James Coughlan, Founder of Reef, the fast-scaling platform giving workers access to almost 10,000 laptop-friendly spaces across 20 countries.

What may look like a simple concept — finding a place to work — is in fact solving some of the most complex challenges facing businesses today: productivity, wellbeing, engagement, and the future of hybrid work.

James shares his entrepreneurial journey, the bold vision behind Reef, and why giving employees real choice over where they work isn’t just about flexibility, it’s about performance. We dive into what this means for HR directors, freelancers, and global businesses alike, and why Yorkshire’s business ecosystem is the perfect place for innovation with international impact.
