  • Although diversity, equity and inclusion has faced it’s fair share of resistance over the years, the latest moves by the US and government and in turn, Meta, one of the world’s biggest companies, brings a whole new level of attack on corporate DEI work.

    But is all of the great work that continues to be done, really under threat? Is it a case of saying RIP to DEI, or is it simply just another speed bump on the road of good work and progress?

    Well to discuss this with us, and take a deeper look into what’s going on with DEI in workplaces, we’re delighted to be joined by a highly experienced Senior HR & Change expert, and Country Executive at the 30% club, the brilliant Gillian Harford.

    In this episode, we cover...

  • “Organisation’s don’t change, people do” – a phrase mentioned in our recent chat we had with today’s guest, as we thrashed out what we’d be speaking about on this very episode. And it’s a phrase that outlines how to make successful change happen, and just how important it is to have your people as your focus.

    And what do your people need most during a change process? Not to give away too much of this episode...but you guessed it...the answer is communication.

    So to talk to us about the power of communication in the world of change management, we’re delighted to be joined by the brilliant Scott McInnes, Founder at Inspiring Change.

  • Change management may not always involve the professionals. And arguably understandably too, as maybe moving to a new tech tool doesn’t require an expert? Right?

    Well, when it comes to making successful and sustainable change, people should be at the centre of the strategy. And with people needing support, communication, and guidance through culture change, getting HR experts involved, may be your not-so-secret ingredient.

    So to help us dive into this more and discuss all things change management, we’re delighted to be joined by our very own Megan Power, HR Consultant here at Insight HR.

  • It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, so you know what that means? Christmas Party time!

  • According to a 2023 survey by the Central Statistics Office, 32% of workers aged between 20 and 69 are not signed up to a private pension. Without a change, hundreds of thousands of workers would be reliant solely on their State pension when they retire.
