Beanbags, free beer, and bring-your-pet-to-work days: these are often thought to attract Generation Z graduates. Because Gen Z doesn’t care about salary, only some vague notion of “meaningful” work, right? Nothing could be further from the truth.
This is the opening paragraph from a recent Irish Examiner article about Gen Z workers, and what they really want in their roles. And this multi-generational satisfaction challenge is something that many HR professionals are certainly dying to hear more about, so that they can get it right.
Well good news, as today we discuss exactly this, as we welcome back the brilliant Oliver Coakley, Director at Citris Reward Consulting.

So when it comes to settlement agreements, which can be a common occurrence in the world of terminating employment, what is the process, and what must we, as HR professionals, understand?
In this great 1:1 discussion, our very own Eoin Lyons spoke to Barry Crushell about the why, when, and how of settlement agreements, sharing tonnes of useful insights for HR professionals here in Ireland!

As HR professionals, we know driving change is difficult. But we also know that driving change is essential – not just for organisations to grow and thrive, but most importantly for our people, of all backgrounds, abilities and characteristics to grow and thrive also. One thing that does make managing change easier however, is data. So where do we get it, and how do we properly use it?
Well to talk to us about this today we’re delighted to be joined by a guiding light in this area, and a familiar face to many of you event goers, podcast listeners and the likes, the wonderful Siobhan McKenna, Head of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion at Public Jobs.

A probation period, at a simple level is a period of time at the start of a permanent full-time or part-time employment relationship that gives the employer the opportunity to assess whether their new employee is capable, reliable and suitable for the job.
Simple in essence, but not so simple if not handled properly - with potentially both the employer and the employee left feeling frustrated if the key fundamentals and communication are missed. So, to talk to us about how to ensure performance management during probation is handled correctly, and to explain what can happen if it isn’t, we’re joined by Joe Thompson, HR Consultant here at Insight HR.

Unfortunately, whether we like to admit it or not, we’ve all at some point felt that Sunday fear of having to return to work to a mountain of emails after a really nice long weekend or holiday. But what about people who are returning from a much longer period away from work? People trying to figure out how they’ll slot back in to working life after months or maybe even a year away from the office? For them, it’s a little bit different, to say the least!
So to talk us through this today, chatting about re-onboarding, what we should do, the support we should provide, and everything in between, we’re joined by recent winner of the Diversity & Inclusion Leader award at the PWC Image Awards 2024, Michelle O’ Keeffe, Co-Founder at Platform55.

In a 2023 study by Indeed, over half (53%) of respondents who identify as LGBTQ+ felt discriminated against at work. And although, of the 500 surveyed participants who identified as LGBTQIA+, 92% stated they were 'out' at work, only 34% were 'out' to everyone they worked with, while 57% disclosed this only to those they trusted at work. Something is wrong here.
Although we see fantastic groups constantly pushing the inclusion agenda forward, and some employers doing good work in this area, it seems like there’s still so much more we need to understand, and so much more we need to do.
So to talk to us about this today we’re delighted to be joined by someone who is a huge advocate for this, and someone who was recently awarded the 2024 Diversity Champion Award at the CIPD Ireland awards for his work on this and so much more, the brilliant Samuel Riggs, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Manager at Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail.
