In this episode of the HR Engage Podcast, Jonathan Mamaril sits down with Nathan Bryant, HR Manager at Nauru Airlines, for a refreshingly honest and insightful deep dive into what it really means to lead in today’s evolving HR landscape.
Nathan’s journey spans from stacking shelves on night shift to steering HR strategy across borders — and in this conversation, he unpacks it all. From industry pivots to building HR departments from scratch, navigating workplace resistance, and why he thinks people are puzzles that strategy alone can’t solve.
You’ll hear:
- Why jumping industries made him a better leader
- How HR can shift from “hire and fire” to strategic partnership
- The silent toll of burnout (and how not to bring it home)
- What junior HR pros should actually be doing to find their niche
- Why authenticity, upskilling, and prioritising family matter more than ever
Packed with practical wisdom, candid advice, and a few curveballs (yes, we’re talking gaming, Tolkien, and cat mansions), this episode sets the tone for the kind of real, frank conversations HR Engage is here to deliver.
