Episode 152 - Policies for Parents & Carers
Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
Although the past year or so has brought a whole raft of new legislation and updates to employment law, many of these updates have been hugely beneficial, people-focused, and progressive in nature, meaning that employees are getting many more positive changes in the workplace. And one group who has certainly been covered by these changes, and we hope will feel the benefit is families, parents and carers.
And to speak to us about this, we’re delighted to be joined by Deirdre Malone, Partner, Head of Employment Law, EY Law Ireland.

Episode 147 - Let’s Talk Long-Term Absence
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
Long-term absence is something that nobody wants to face. Firstly of course, the employee, who is going through either a physical or mental challenge and is being forced to be sidelined from work. And secondly, the employer who is caught between caring for their colleague but also trying to run a business at full strength. So what can HR teams and employers do to manage this?
Well to talk to us about this we’re joined by two of our very own leading experts and HR Consultants in this area, Liam Barton and Joe Thompson.

Episode 145 - Let’s Talk Social Media & Work
Tuesday Nov 21, 2023
Tuesday Nov 21, 2023
Social media and work – two things, that although we don’t like to admit it, probably take up the vast majority of our time, respectively. But how does work and social media intersect? It’s something that features in the headlines, and also features in the minds of employers. Are there things you cannot do, and there times you cannot do it, or is there a line between the two?
To talk to us about this today, we’re delighted to be joined by one of Ireland’s leading employment lawyers and experts in this area, Founder & Principal at Crushell & Co, the brilliant Barry Crushell.

Tuesday Nov 14, 2023
Tuesday Nov 14, 2023
Company policies are for life, not just for Christmas!
Christmas parties – the highlight of the corporate calendar, the standout celebration for the social club, and a chance to let the hair down with your nearest and dearest colleagues. But if things go wrong, Christmas parties can ruin the spirit of the event, become a holiday headache for HR teams and leave a sour taste at the table. So what can go wrong, how can we prevent it, and how can we make sure to keep the Christmas spirit safely alive?
To talk to us about this today, we’re delighted to be joined by Aisling Parkinson, Partner, in the Employment, Immigration and Reward division at Lewis Silkin.

Tuesday Nov 07, 2023
Tuesday Nov 07, 2023
Three in four Irish HR departments are unknowingly breaching GDPR. There's a startling void between HR professionals’ confidence in their GDPR compliance and actual adherence to the regulation. And those of you who have crossed paths with the wrong side of GDPR may agree, GDPR is certainly not something to be ignored!
So to talk to us about this today, the findings of HR locker's research and what we can do to remain compliant, we’re delighted to be joined by Crystel Rynne, COO at HRLocker.
