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.

Is your HR team struggling to balance your HR budget, while still trying to enhance employee wellbeing? While the latter is a driver for commercial success, the Return-On-Investment (ROI) of wellbeing initiatives often comes under scrutiny during challenging financial times.
The ROI of wellbeing is a critical area of interest at Top Employers Institute who are the global authority on recognising excellence in people practices.
So who better to speak to about this than Abigail Britnell, European Account Manager at Top Employers Institute!

Some of the challenges or topics we speak about on this podcast, or see in the headlines may not affect us all. There are however, a select few topics that will almost certainly land on the table of every single one of us – and one of those is retirement.
But despite the fact that this is a topic that is pretty much unavoidable, it’s not without its challenges and concerns for HR teams and employers.
So let’s dig a little deeper in to this, and share some very topical and practical advice, as today we welcome Aoife Newton, Head of Employment at KPMG Law.

But the even better news is, we’re joined today by someone who can help us finally tackle the big to-do list, Author, Agile Consultant, Life Design Coach and Founder, James Parnell.

Ireland continues to grow and change. And in recent years, the workplace and organisations have certainly felt that growth and change with remote working, more progressive policies, diversity and inclusion, and so much more, along with the natural reflection from wider society too. As they say though, nothing worth having comes easy, and with progress comes challenges, and things we can do better.
So to talk to us about this today from a workplace level, national level, and a personal level, we’re delighted to be joined by Ivana Bacik, leader of the Labour Party and TD for Dublin Bay South.

Although legislation, policies and practices have been aiming to prevent, or at least minimise, workplace discrimination for decades, this is still a very live issue. We need only look at the headlines, the WRC case reports and the various survey findings to discover that, although there is so much being done, so much more needs to be done.
So to talk to us about exactly that, we’re delighted to be joined again by our very own Megan Power, HR Consultant here at Insight HR.

As noted by the Open Doors Initiative at their recent leaders summit, “this socially charged world is requiring companies to re-examine their CSR policy. Not only do consumers demand it, but employees do, too. It’s evolved from corporate social responsibility to corporate social justice.”
Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? Well today, we’re going to be talking about this concept of corporate social justice with not one, but two, special guests - Jeanne McDonagh, CEO of the Open Doors Initiative, and Edel McSorley, Operations Director at Mr Price!

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law.”
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? We’ve all heard this on criminal dramas from the US. But of course, things aren’t always as simple as they sound – and when we talk about the right to silence here in Ireland, under the lens of a workplace investigation, it’s certainly a little bit different, to say the least!
So to talk to us about this, along with a case that has brought this topic to the forefront of employment law here in Ireland, we’re delighted to be joined by Barry Crushell, Principal Solicitor at Crushell & Co | Law At Work.
P.S Read more details, as promised, right here!

Later this week, we will be celebrating International Women’s Day again, an annual call to all to keep pushing for equality and inclusion for women everywhere. And one of the biggest pieces of work in driving this in workplaces, and something that will be particularly familiar to our listeners, is the gender pay gap.
So, as gender pay gap reporting expands this year, and progress continues to be made, just how are we doing when it comes to the gender pay gap here in Ireland?
To talk us through the findings of Citris Rewards Consulting’s recent research on the matter, and more, we’re delighted to be joined again by Oliver Coakley, Director at Citris Rewards Consulting.
