In this episode Adam Dilks, Group People Director at Nightcap Plc shares his career journey in HR from a training scheme at Tesco, to his current role helping Nightcap achieve its goal of becoming the leading late night bar group. He claims it’s not just about the cocktails!
Adam tells Nic about the entrepreneurial approach at Nightcap, led by Sarah Willingham (ex-dragon’s den,) and how they are focusing on delivering their belief that “everyone deserves a great night out”. Adam contrasts the “oil tanker” nature of large corporates and how he’s enjoying being at a “jet ski” business.
Nic talks to Adam about how the hospitality sector are embracing inclusivity, managing the transient nature of their workforce, and giving their people a great experience of work. Adam explains how employers can’t operate in the same way anymore and how employee expectations have changed, and how recruitment is like dating!
Adam also touches on technology, AI, and how employers can use that well and not be afraid of change. Nic asks Adam about his thoughts on equality, diversity and inclusion and Adam shares his internal “why” that drives him to focus on inclusion and how that avoids it being tokenistic.
Nic and Adam also debate whether the Dragons on Dragons’ Den were judges or just “the Dragons”!
We hope you enjoy this episode!
