In the latest episode of All Things HR I talked about how to run a fair and effective disciplinary meeting within your company. Firstly, what is a disciplinary meeting? On occasion, it may be necessary for a company to take disciplinary action against an employee. This could be for a variety of reasons such as behavioural issues (e.g. lateness), performance issues or gross misconduct. If that happens, an employer is required to follow due process when it comes to disciplinary or a dismissal procedure.
In this jam packed episode of All Things HR, I speak with Michelle Carpenter who is an experienced Diversity & Inclusion leader. Over the course of our 45 minute conversation, Michelle and I talkabout why pro-nouns matter and how diversity & inclusion has evolved over the past decade and how it can positivitly impact engagement and revenue in an organisation.
In the latest episode of All Things HR, Barry explores why values matter with business leader Nikki McGoohan of Propel2gether. Values are basic and fundamental beliefs that guide or motivate attitudes or actions in life. Our values help us to determine what is important to us. Values describe the personal qualities we choose to embody to guide our actions; the sort of person we want to be; the manner in which we treat ourselves and others, and our interaction with the world around us. They provide the general guidelines for conduct in our everyday lives.
In the latest episode of All Things HR, Barry speaks with Donal O'Donoghue (MD of Sanderson & President of the National Recruitment Federation of Ireland) about remote working 1 year on since the Covid-19 panadamic shifted the majority of office workers to working from home.
In episode two, season 2 of All Things HR, I address the topic of a new employee’s probation period. The probation period is linked to last month's episode of All Things HR where I discussed the topic of onboarding/inducting a new employee onto your team. The subject of a probation period is linked to a new employee’s onboarding experience. The probation period will be outlined in an employee’s contract, however, for additional clarity I would encourage an organisation to have a probation period policy which sets out the role of the manager, the employee and what are the key steps during a probation process.
