  • Pay Attention Episode 15: Data privacy and pay transparency - an unresolvable conflict?
    The EU’s Pay Transparency Directive is about shining a light on salaries; the GDPR is about keeping personal data under wraps. Put the two together and you’ve got a legal paradox: employers are asked to build a glass house, but only if the blinds are firmly drawn.In this episode, Tom Heys and David Lorimer are joined by Lewis Silkin partners Bryony Long and Ben Favaro to unpack the real tension between transparency and privacy. From pay reporting obligations that bump into data minimisation, to the risk of identifying individuals in “anonymous” averages, we explore how these two regimes collide, and what employers can do to stay on the right side of both.

  • ‘Good Jobs’ Podcast: Unpacking the Way Forward
    In this episode, Belfast employment partners Ciara Fulton and Paul Gillen introduce the Department for the Economy’s “Way Forward” response to the recent ‘Good Jobs’ Employment Rights Bill consultation, marking a potentially major step forward for employment law in Northern Ireland. They set the scene for what these wide-ranging reforms could mean for the world of work in NI, and how organisations can start to think about the changes on the horizon. This episode launches a five-part mini-series, with each instalment set to explore the proposed Bill’s core themes in more detail: terms of employment, pay and benefits, voice and representation, and work-life balance. Ciara and Paul provide a high-level perspective on the Bill’s ambitions and the direction of travel for employment rights in Northern Ireland. Tune in for a concise introduction to the ‘Good Jobs’ consultation response and join us for the rest of the series as we unpack each theme.

  • In Conversation… with Professor Alan Felstead
    In this episode of the Future of Work Hub’s In Conversation podcast, Lucy Lewis is joined by Professor Alan Felstead, Emeritus Professor at Cardiff University and a leading expert on work, skills and employment. Alan shares insights from the landmark Skills and Employment Survey 2024, exploring how the world of work in the UK is evolving, what workers value, and the challenges and opportunities facing employers and policymakers.Key takeaways1. Make fair work your business advantage: When employers treat workers as valued assets, fostering respect, autonomy and development, it strengthens wellbeing, drives business improvement, and sets the foundation for lasting organisational success. Regularly survey staff to track how job quality is changing over time and identify areas for improvement.2. Foster meaningful work by investing in line manager capabilities: Research shows that the majority of workers find their jobs meaningful, with managerial support, skill utilisation and participation at work playing a greater role than pay in driving a sense of purpose. Organisations should train managers to provide timely guidance, deliver constructive feedback, and show empathy - particularly when supporting younger employees and new joiners.3. Prioritise genuine employee participation: Employee control over job tasks has sharply declined, negatively impacting wellbeing and productivity. Employers should regularly measure and monitor employee task discretion across their organisation and hold managers accountable for progress.4. Promote equality in flexible working: Offering a range of solutions, such as flexi-time, compressed hours, and part-time roles, helps to ensure all employees, including those whose jobs cannot be done remotely or who lack dedicated home workspaces, can access the benefits of flexible working. For more discussion of the themes explored in this podcast, see the Hub's latest report "Strategic workforce priorities - What matters most?".
