• Episode 226 - Picking (And Unpicking) Performance Management Processes

  Performance management is such a core piece of the employer employee relationship, and a key skill for leaders, managers and HR people.

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

• Episode 225 - C Suite Special: Employment For Ethnic Minorities

  It’s that time again on the HR Room Podcast for another one of our C-suite specials, where we talk to leaders in various industries and organisations, sharing advice and insights for HR teams and employers everywhere. Bank of Ireland, in partnership with Morgan McKinley, recently published a new report titled "Fostering Ethnic Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace." The research explores the specific barriers ethnic minority groups face in accessing employment and progressing in the Irish labour market, with some data points and practical recommendations for employers. It’s based on the experiences of over 2,700 people across 10 ethnic minority groups. And against the backdrop of current issues in wider society, and current issues faced by organisations and employees, this survey is one that simply must be looked at by HR teams and employers everywhere.  And to talk us through it, we’re delighted to be joined again by Matt Elliott, Chief People Officer at Bank Of Ireland.    In this episode we cover... 02:26 The Importance of Ethnic Diversity in the Workplace 05:43 Barriers Faced by Ethnic Minorities in Employment 09:27 The Role of Organisations in Promoting Inclusion 14:14 Bank of Ireland's Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion 20:01 Practical Recommendations for Employers 29:46 Key Takeaways and Closing Thoughts   About The HR Room Podcast The HR Room Podcast is a series from Insight HR where we talk to business leaders from around Ireland and share advice what's important to you as a HR professional, an employer or people leader.  If you are enjoying these episodes, do please feel free to share them with colleagues, friends and family.
