About the Podcast

Smart HR strategies. Real impact. Zero fluff.

People Over Paperwork is a podcast by Conor Hughes Consulting (CHC) that cuts through the jargon and dives into what actually moves the needle in today’s workplaces. Whether you're a nonprofit leader, CEO, or HR professional, you’ll find practical insights, bold ideas, and thought-provoking perspectives on the future of work — all rooted in the belief that when you put people first, everything else follows.

​

New episodes drop regularly and cover topics like:

​

• HR tech and systems (without the jargon)

• Employee engagement that actually works

• DEI that goes beyond checkboxes

• Leadership, change management, and building resilient teams

How the Podcast is Made

​

As a tech-forward HR professional, I’m always exploring innovative ways to share knowledge and increase access. People Over Paperwork was born from that same mindset. Each episode is crafted using original blog content authored by Conor Hughes and transformed into dynamic audio experiences with the help of AI — making thought leadership more accessible for leaders who prefer to listen, reflect, and take action on the go.
