Habits of High-Performing Organisations
The podcast where Chief People Officers get real about culture change
(COMING SOON)
Most training doesn’t stick. 87% of what’s learned is forgotten within weeks. So how do the world’s leading organisations turn learning into lasting change?
Join Johanna Beresford, CEO of FabricShift and behavioural strategist, as she sits down with Chief People Officers from global organisations including Edelman, NatWest Group, BT Group, Randstad, BAE Systems, and Adecco Group.
This isn’t another leadership podcast about theory. It’s about the habits that actually drive performance—and how to make them stick.
Why habits? Why Now?
The role of the Chief People Officer has never been more complex.
Across industries, senior leaders face the same persistent challenges.
Training decay: Only 12% of employees apply what they learn
Wasted investment: Billions spent annually with limited ROI
Culture gaps: Values on the wall that don’t show up in behaviour
Engagement decline: Traditional approaches no longer resonate
The organisations that win are those that shift from knowledge to action. From workshops to habits. From awareness to measurable change.
What's in it for you?
For CPOs & HR Leaders
Practical strategies to connect people development directly to business KPIs and demonstrate ROI
For L&D Professionals
Evidence-based approaches to overcome training decay and embed lasting behavioural change
For Business Leaders
Real insights into how culture, habits, and performance align to drive transformation at scale
Hosted by Johanna Beresford
CEO, FabricShift | Behavioural Strategist | Leadership Expert
Johanna founded FabricShift in 2019 with a clear mission: to transform how organisations approach leadership and culture. With over 20 years in global HR, she's worked with companies across industries to embed habit-based behaviour change that delivers measurable business impact.
