Trump’s DEI Rollbacks: A Wake-Up Call for Irish HR Leaders?

mercredi 16 avril 2025 • Durée 44:47

President Donald Trump issued executive orders rolling back DEI efforts across the US, which contributed to job cuts in the public sector and prompted some companies to reconsider their diversity policies. Major corporations - including Meta, McDonald's, and Bank of America - have adjusted their DEI strategies, scaling back public diversity targets and shifting towards ‘merit-based’ hiring practices.

If research found diverse teams are 70% more likely to capture new markets, why is opposition to DEI increasing? Could this signal a shift for businesses in Ireland as well? With global organisations reassessing their commitments, HR leaders in Ireland face key questions:

• Does a strong DEI strategy drive business results, or is it just an added expense?
• How might changing global trends affect Irish workplace policies and expectations?
• Should businesses double down on inclusion or take a more measured approach?

Julie Holmes from Legal Island and industry experts examine whether businesses should sustain, reshape, or scale back their DEI commitments in response to shifting global trends - and what this means for HR leaders in Ireland.

Thinking Differently: Legal and Practical Approaches to Neuroinclusion

jeudi 26 septembre 2024 • Durée 52:55

As HR professionals, ensuring an inclusive and supportive workplace is a fundamental responsibility. A recent Irish survey conducted by Red C on behalf of Bank of Ireland revealed that almost 1 in 10 adults in Ireland identify as neurodivergent, yet only half of neurodivergent employees have disclosed their condition to their employer. Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in how the human brain works and processes information, leading to diverse behavioural traits and interactions in the workplace. Despite this, many organisations overlook the importance of raising awareness about neurodiversity and fostering neuroinclusion.

In this webinar, Declan MacQuillan, Senior Associate from Arthur Cox joins Victoria Smith from Legal Island to discuss the significance of neurodiversity in the workplace. Declan outlines the practicalities and provides his legal insights to help you:

Understand your legal responsibilities under the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015 and how to avoid discrimination claims.
Review case law examples of how some organisations mishandled their neurodivergent staff, and what we can learn from these mistakes.
Outline best practices in supporting and empowering your neurodivergent employees.

Victoria also discusses with Emma what HR can and should be doing to promote neuroinclusion.

NOT PART OF THE JOB: REJECTING SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT WORK

jeudi 30 mai 2024 • Durée 01:02:05

1 in 5 workers in Ireland had experienced sexual harassment in the workplace according to a 2019 survey conducted by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU). Many conveyed that they did not report these incidents due to fears of retaliation or job loss. Similarly, the Workplace Relations Commission acknowledges there is an underreporting of incidents, with many employees citing that they distrust the reporting processes and fear of worsening their work situation as the main reasons for not coming forward.

All this underscores a critical need that HR and business leaders need to step up and address this insidious problem to ensure there are effective workplace policies and support systems in place.
