Managing a redundancy process is a challenge for any HR professional. In addition to the unfortunate circumstances and effects it may have on a colleagues livelihood, the law and process around redundancies, can also add complexity to a process that’s already far from enjoyable. However, it is a process that many of us will have to face, and is also grabbing many of the headlines across Ireland in recent months.
And to take a closer look at this topic on episode 123 of The HR Room Podcast, we’re delighted to be joined again by Adrian Twomey, Partner at Jacob & Twomey Solicitors.

On episode 115 of The HR Room Podcast we speak to Sharon Daly, Programme Manager of Health & Wellbeing at Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail, who are this year’s Embedding A Culture of Workplace Wellbeing large employer winner at the CIPD Ireland HR Awards.
