Labour Relations Agency podcast

In the third podcast in our "Challenging Workplaces" series, we talk about the importance of being able to have "Respectful Conversations" in the workplace. Host Glenn Baker is joined by Morna Blaney, Employment Relations Manager at the LRA and guest Nuala Murphy, Director of Diversity Mark, to discuss the guidance the LRA have produced to help employers in this area, plus the real benefits that can come with open, honest and respectful communication on subjects that may have once been seen as taboo, or too controversial for discussion.

In the second podcast in our 'Challenging Workplaces' series, we explore the issue of Domestic Violence and Abuse. Host Glenn Baker is joined by Helen Smyth, Employment Relations Manager at the LRA and guest Clare Moore from the Northern Ireland Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, with whom we have collaborated to produce some guidance for employers in terms of how best to manage this important issue in the workplace, and how best to support employees who are experiencing domestic violence and abuse.

The Labour Relations Agency's Mark McAllister, Director of Employment Relations Services and Keelin Kelly, Communications Manager, discuss some of the topics that have previously been regarded as societal issues but are slowly being recognised as workplace issues too, such as domestic violence, menopause and gender identity.
