It’s a HR person’s worst nightmare isn’t it – a WRC inspector knocking in the door, right before you were about to tick all those HR admin jobs off your to-do list, that may now land you in trouble.

But as we know, WRC audits and inspections do serve a real purpose, and whether we like to admit it or not, are necessary, as they lift the standards across the employment world here in Ireland, and tackle bad employment practices.

And of course, for many of you listening, WRC audits won’t turn your business upside down, and at the very worst, give you a slightly more updated and urgent to-do list.

Today, we’re discussing how to prepare a WRC Audit with our very own Joe Thompson, Head of HR Services here at Insight HR

In this episode we cover...

As we’ve seen in the headlines and in our own experiences as HR people, disciplinaries and any subsequent dismissals can be tricky business – and can end up being very very tricky if mistakes are made and a process is found to be unfair.

So how do we handle this tricky area of HR, and do right by both our people and our own sanity?

Well to talk us through this today, we’re delighted to be joined by our very own Joe Thompson, Head of HR Services here at Insight HR.

As many of us know from the statistics, the research, the news, and even through our own experiences or the experiences of friends and family, fertility issues are commonplace, with different journeys and experiences for everyone going through fertility, pregnancy and everything that goes with it.

Thankfully, we’ve seen huge support and progress in this area in the form of policies, supports, training etc. But unfortunately, it’s still a topic that many find it hard to speak about, effectively support people through it, or even fully understand it.

So today we’re delighted to be joined by someone who can give us insights into all of the above, in a conversation I know is going to be really enjoyable and important – we’re joined today by Dr Ciara O’ Keeffe, Consultant at Waterstone Clinic.

Disciplinaries, investigations, and managing misconduct can be a very tricky process. And when we get deep into the process, albeit necessary, it can be a strain on time and stress for all involved.

And it’s well-covered too – the formal processes behind dealing with misconduct are spoken about in detail by us and other experts alike.

But do we talk about the informal process enough, and how successful this can be? And how we effectively mitigate these types of incidents going forward?

Well that’s exactly what we’re speaking about today, as we’re delighted to be joined by our very own Susie Lowe, Workplace Investigator here at Insight HR.

We get it – budgets are tight. And even when you need something to support you, it can sometimes feel like you can’t articulate the value and the ROI of what you need.

HR support can be no different, but is something that can be so powerful. If you choose the right provider, you can save money, stress, lost time, and so much more.

But how do you make sure it really is worth it, and even simpler, why should you bother with it at all?

Well to tell us, we’re delighted to be joined by our very own Barry Casserly, Head of Strategy & Growth here at Insight HR.

Navigating the probation period is one of the most critical - and often misunderstood - phases of the employment journey. Far from being just a formality or an “easy exit” route, probation is a unique opportunity for both employers and employees to set the stage for long-term success.

And with all the various ways, processes and approaches to this, it can be hard to find what works for you and your organisation!
