Learning as the Strategic Lever

Monday, October 27, 2025 • Duration 31:25

Far from being an HR silo, learning is the strategic lever that unlocks resilience, retention, and reinvention. As organisations grapple with skills shortages, the rise of AI, cultural change, and the urgent need for talent retention and succession planning, learning has moved centre stage. This episode creates a buzz around learning by showing its direct business impact and sparking new ways to think about its role in transformation. Host Meg Dunphy opens the conversation with Linda Waters, Senior Employer Solutions Manager, CIPD, Robert Mac Giolla Phadraig, Founder and CEO, SkillStack and Michelle McShortall, Advisory Services Manager, Intuition to bring clarity and energy to the big questions:

What are we doing right now? – Tackling disruption through reskilling and agility.
What are we doing for tomorrow? – Building sustainable pipelines of skills and leaders.
Real-life examples – Stories of organisations reinventing their approach to learning.
The frontier of transformation – Where culture, technology, and human potential converge.
AI-powered personalisation – How intelligent tools are tailoring learning to individuals, making it easier for time-poor executives and employees to get exactly what they need, when they need it.

Inclusive leadership: Championing disability inclusion in the workplace

Tuesday, July 15, 2025 • Duration 29:17

As part of Disability Pride Month, the CIPD Ireland Podcast shines a spotlight on what inclusive leadership means through the lens of disability in the workplace. Our latest HR Practices in Ireland 2025 report reveals that 23% of employers cite disability as their most pressing equality challenge—yet meaningful inclusion and representation remain elusive in many organisations.

Host Meg Dunphy is joined by Catherine Murray, an autistic researcher specialising in disability and inclusive employment at AHEAD, and James Cawley Jnr, Business Development Manager at the Irish Centre for Diversity. Together, they explore the barriers still facing disabled people at work, how employers can go beyond compliance to foster genuine inclusion, and how leaders can amplify disabled voices to create workplaces where everyone belongs.

Learn more about AHEAD’s WIDE Framework, offering practical steps to help build accessible, disability-confident workplaces.
