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.

Flexible working, sick pay, protected disclosures, retention, talent attraction, compliance – there’s a lot to think about when it comes to HR policies. Whether you want to simply be compliant with legislation, or you want to have best-in-class policies, many employers have different strategies, ideas and also challenges when it comes to the rules and norms they want to have in their workplace. So what are the new rules, the new norms, and what are employers doing about them?
To talk to us about this, we’re delighted to be joined by Judith Curran, Counsel in the Employment & Benefits team at Mason Hayes & Curran.

In Ireland, around 570,000 women are currently in the menopausal or perimenopausal stage, with approximately 350,000 of these women still in paid employment. So what can we do to support these women, and does the level effort being put in by Irish companies match the scale of support needed?
Thankfully, some companies are doing some great work on this. And we’re delighted to be joined by Barry Holmes, Director of Human Resources at the Royal College of Surgeons to tell us about their award-winning menopause policy.

It’s time to talk about updating organisation policies again – not just because we love it, but because it’s been a busy year for legislative changes, with more coming on the horizon too. It can be challenging to know what to update, when to update, and how to do it, so by popular demand, we’re having another conversation on a topic that’s in the minds of many HR teams and organisations now.
And to talk to us about this, who better to bring back than Megan Power, HR Consultant here at Insight HR.

Drugs, alcohol and addiction are very serious issues. Many people face varying levels of challenges when it comes to these topics, and unfortunately, sometimes the challenges even affect their livelihood and the workplace.

This September, PwC released its Irish 2023 Hopes and Fears Workforce survey which details the attitudes and behaviours of 1,000 Irish workers and nearly 54,000 global workers in 46 countries.

Unfortunately, redundancies have been a regular feature of the Irish landscape and media coverage in recent years. And managing redundancies is something that many HR teams and organisations may have to face, at some scale and at some point in their working lives. But when it comes to the law and the process surrounding redundancies, what are some of the key things we should look out for, what are the foundations of the law and process, and how do we make sure we manage these processes effectively for all involved?
To answer these questions and many more, we’re delighted to be joined by one of Ireland’s leading employment lawyers and experts in this area, Founder & Principal at Crushell & Co, Barry Crushell.
