The Meeting: Building Engage Care Talent - Episode 3 of our Documentary

Attracting, engaging, and retaining talent in health and social care is a challenge many organisations face every day. But it’s also a challenge that can be tackled — step by step, conversation by conversation.
That’s the focus of Episode 3 of our Engage Care Talent documentary – The Meeting. In this episode, Rowan Marriott and Chris Le'cand-Harwood head into the studio for a planning session, diving into the purpose and future of Engage Care Talent.
Why Engage Care Talent Exists
Engage Care Talent is more than a podcast. It’s a platform and community for anyone passionate about transforming the care sector. Our mission is simple: share opinions, experiences, and practical insights on how to attract, engage, and retain talent in innovative ways.
It’s about honest conversations - no hidden agendas, no vanity metrics, just straight talking. And it’s about giving people a space to learn, collaborate, and take action.
What Happens in The Meeting
In this episode, we talk about:
How to give individuals and organisations the tools they need to attract and retain talent effectively
Why engagement matters just as much as retention
How creating a shared community can help people learn from real-world experience
Building resources and conversations that act as informal career coaching for leaders at every level
We also discuss the power of documenting this journey. A documentary lets people see the real work behind the business - the planning, the reflections, and the action. It’s about building in public and inviting others to be part of that growth.
Why This Matters
Health and social care faces immense challenges, but that doesn’t mean change is impossible. By sharing experiences and building a community, organisations and individuals can gain the tools, confidence, and inspiration to make a real difference.
This episode shows that Engage Care Talent isn’t just talking about change - we’re actively shaping it. And it’s exciting to see how conversations today can lead to something meaningful tomorrow.
