On this episode of Saturday Strategy, host Johnny Themans welcomes guest Niamh Kelly, a Human Resources executive with 25 years of experience in employment relations at the highest level in the corporate, public, and voluntary sectors. Many businesses have either changed the way they’re operating or have decided to open up into new markets, including hers, and she’s here to talk about it. Niamh also details why two specific HR issues, redundancy and recruitment, are keeping her busy.

Niamh explains how The Taylor Review led to the Good Work plan that led to changes in employment law, which means we’re looking at different processes and procedures for working. She also explains how people are now more than ever engaged in a conversation around doing work differently and how productivity has shot up since employers have begun heavily supporting working from home.

How do we figure out the best model for the future? Niamh touches on the concepts of checking the right of people to work and immigration points-based system, then notes the trend of people acting on entrepreneurial opportunities and taking risks during this pandemic. She shares her thoughts on side hustles and challenges that come along with them, as well as employees’ social media impacting employer reputation.

“A recession is ironically a great time to think about starting a business or going in a different way.”     - Niamh Kelly
