If you worked somewhere that went through 10 managers in 12 years, made hundreds of redundancies, removed long-standing employee benefits, and had leaders publicly criticise their own team - would you consider it a toxic workplace? In this episode of The HR Room Podcast, Dave and Mary are joined by Joe Thompson, Head of HR Services at Insight HR, to examine one of the most talked-about organisations in the world - Manchester United - through an HR lens. Drawing on recent media coverage and their own professional experience, the team explore whether the challenges at Manchester United reflect the hallmarks of a toxic workplace culture, and what HR professionals can learn from it. Together, they unpack leadership behaviour, culture drift, psychological safety, employer brand damage, and the risks of reactive change - offering practical advice for HR leaders navigating similar issues in their own organisations. Guests • Joe Thompson – Head of HR Services, Insight HR Topics include: What defines a toxic workplace culture? Leadership behaviour and its ripple effect across an organisation High performer favouritism and double standards The impact of constant leadership turnover Psychological safety – what it looks like (and what it doesn't) Employer brand damage and recruitment risks Why “quick fixes” and constant restructuring can make things worse The hidden cost of blame culture and fear-based management The role of HR in diagnosing culture challenges Practical steps to rebuild trust and create a healthier workplace Key Takeaways for HR Leaders Toxic cultures rarely start with dramatic events — they begin with small tolerated behaviours that become normalised. Culture change takes years, not months — and must be consistent. Values must be lived, not laminated. Leadership alignment between words and actions is critical. HR's role is to diagnose, listen, structure feedback, and guide meaningful change — not simply label a workplace “toxic.” If any of the warning signs discussed resonate with your organisation, it may be time to step back, assess honestly, and put a structured plan in place.

Embedding workplace wellbeing takes more than good intentions and one-off initiatives. It requires people across the organisation who are willing to champion it every day. In this episode of the Wellness Works mini-series on The HR Room Podcast, Dave Corkery and Laura Barry, Head of People Development at Insight HR, are joined by special guest Brian Crooke, Founder of Workplace Wellbeing Ireland and The Work Well Institute, to explore how wellbeing champions can bring strategy to life on the ground. Together, they unpack what a wellbeing champion really is (and what they're not), why peer-led influence is so powerful, and how champion networks help bridge the gap between wellbeing policy and everyday employee experience. The conversation covers how to select, train and support champions, the importance of role clarity and leadership backing, and how to avoid common pitfalls such as overload, lack of structure or tokenism. Drawing on practical examples from organisations across Ireland, including Irish Life and ESB, this episode offers clear, actionable guidance for HR professionals and leaders who want to embed wellbeing in a sustainable, credible and inclusive way - not just as an initiative, but as part of organisational culture. Guests Brian Crooke – Founder, Workplace Wellbeing Ireland & the Work Well Institute Topics include: What wellbeing champions are, and how they differ from mental health first aiders Why peer influence is critical to embedding wellbeing Selecting champions through voluntary, inclusive processes The importance of role clarity, expectations and boundaries Training champions to take ownership and shape their role Supporting champions without overwhelming them Governance, structure and leadership sponsorship of champion networks Measuring impact without turning wellbeing into a tick-box exercise Common mistakes organisations make, and how to avoid them What “good” looks like when a champion network is working well Useful Links & Resources Workplace Wellbeing Ireland – Wellbeing Champion Programmes Workwell Institute – Postgraduate Certificate in Workplace Wellness Insight HR – Workplace Wellbeing Consulting & Support Wellness Works Live Webinar – Designing Your Wellbeing Strategy (February 17) Get in touch If you're not already following us on LinkedIn, please do.

Workplace wellbeing is often talked about as an HR initiative – but without leadership ownership, even the best programmes struggle to succeed. In this second episode of the Wellness Works mini-series on The HR Room Podcast, Dave and Laura are joined by special guest Stacey Machesney, Head of Health & Wellbeing at Irish Life, to explore why leadership is the true foundation of sustainable workplace wellbeing. Together, they discuss why wellbeing cannot sit with HR alone, the dangers of box‑ticking, and how leadership behaviour, culture and work design shape the real employee experience. They examine the ethical, legal and business risks of getting wellbeing wrong, the growing impact of mental health claims, and the modern challenges leaders now face – from hybrid work and loneliness to neurodiversity and inclusion. From practical guidance on influencing senior leaders to the importance of empathy, training and role‑modelling healthy behaviours, this episode offers clear insights for HR professionals and leaders who want to move beyond surface‑level initiatives and build workplaces where people can truly thrive. Guests • Laura Barry – Head of People Development, Insight HR • Stacey Machesney – Head of Health & Wellbeing, Irish Life Topics include: • Why leadership ownership is essential for effective workplace wellbeing • The risks of leaving wellbeing with HR alone • Box‑ticking and the limits of one‑off initiatives • Leadership behaviour, culture and work design as drivers of wellbeing • Ethical and legal responsibilities around psychological health and safety • The business cost of poor mental health, burnout and presenteeism • Equipping leaders with the skills and confidence to support their teams • Neurodiversity, inclusion and the future of workplace supports • Hybrid work, loneliness and rebuilding social connection at work • How HR can build a strong business case for wellbeing with senior leaders Resources and Links - Wellness Works Webinar: Designing a Wellbeing Programme That Works - Irish Life's Health of the Nation Report 2025 Get in touch If you're not already following us on LinkedIn, please do.

Workplace wellbeing is a phrase we hear all the time - but what does it actually mean in practice? For some, it's fruit bowls and yoga mats. For others, it's leadership, culture, and how work is really experienced day to day. In reality, true workplace wellbeing goes far deeper than perks and initiatives. In this first episode of a new four-part wellbeing mini-series on The HR Room Podcast, Dave is joined by Laura Barry, Head of People Development at Insight HR, to explore what effective workplace wellbeing really looks like, and why so many organisations struggle to get it right. Together, they unpack the difference between reactive wellbeing supports and preventative, strategic approaches. They discuss why culture and work design matter more than one-off initiatives, the risks of treating wellbeing as a “nice to have”, and how organisations can build sustainable systems that support people to thrive - not just cope. From the impact of hybrid work and social disconnection to the growing importance of employer brand and psychological safety, this episode sets the foundation for leaders and HR professionals who want to move beyond surface-level wellbeing and embed it at the core of how their organisations operate. Guests Laura Barry – Head of People Development, Insight HR Topics include: • Why “workplace wellbeing” is often misunderstood - and what it really means • The limits of perks, programmes and one-off initiatives • The difference between reactive and preventative wellbeing approaches • The “triangle of support” model for sustainable workplace wellbeing • Why culture, leadership behaviour and work design matter most • The risks of getting wellbeing wrong - burnout, disengagement and talent loss • Employer brand, reputation and the growing importance of wellbeing in recruitment • The WHO Healthy Workplace Model as a practical framework for HR teams • Hybrid work, isolation and the rise of emotional fatigue in modern workplaces • What good looks like: embedding wellbeing into strategy, not just activities • Questions HR leaders should be asking about the real employee experience Useful Links & Resources • World Health Organization – Healthy Workplace Framework • Workplace Wellbeing Ireland Get in touch If you're not already following us on LinkedIn, please do.

As Irish organisations head into 2026, HR leaders are facing a complex mix of challenges - from attracting and retaining talent in an increasingly competitive market, to navigating cost pressures, culture change, and new regulatory demands like the EU Pay Transparency Directive. At the same time, there's a strong sense of optimism across the profession, with many organisations investing in leadership development, coaching and capability-building for the future.

Have young people's addiction to their phone gone too far? As Australia prepares to remove access to social media for anyone under the age of 16, several countries are reckoning with dangers of unsupervised internet access. Thus, the ‘Smartphone Free Childhood Ireland' association was born.

Migrant and refugee women in Ireland face significant and overlapping barriers when trying to access employment — from qualification recognition issues and childcare responsibilities to language barriers, rural isolation, unconscious bias, and confusion around immigration permissions. At a time when employers are struggling to find skilled talent, these barriers represent not just an equality issue, but a missed opportunity for Irish organisations. In this episode, Dave and Mary are joined by Fiona Hurley, CEO of NASC, to discuss the findings of NASC's Breaking Barriers report, which captures the lived experiences of migrant women navigating the Irish labour market. Together, they explore why highly skilled migrant women — including those with STEM, healthcare and professional qualifications — are being filtered out of recruitment processes, how employer misunderstanding of immigration stamps limits opportunity, and what HR leaders can do practically to remove bias and widen their talent pool. Guest Fiona Hurley – CEO, NASC (Migrant & Refugee Rights Charity) Topics include: Key findings from Breaking Barriers: Challenges in Employment Access for Migrant Women • Childcare, transport and structural barriers that disproportionately impact migrant women • Accent bias, language assumptions and discrimination in recruitment • Why overseas qualifications and experience are routinely undervalued • The “invisible talent pool” of highly skilled migrant women in Ireland • Immigration stamps explained: Stamp 1G, Stamp 1, Stamp 4 and common employer misconceptions • Why confusion around work permissions leads to exclusion — even when candidates have full work rights • How screening tools, interview panels and unconscious bias filter candidates out early • Internships, mentoring and work shadowing as practical entry points • Case studies of employers getting it right through partnership and flexibility • What HR professionals can do now to design fairer, more inclusive recruitment systems Useful Links & Resources Breaking Barriers: Challenges in Employment Access for Migrant Women – NASC Report • NASC contact: info@nascireland.org Get in touch If you're not already following us on LinkedIn, please do.

The Christmas party season should be a time for joy and celebration — but for HR teams, it's often the exact opposite. Misconduct, blurred boundaries, alcohol, drugs, safety concerns, dignity-at-work issues, employer liability… every December, HR braces for what can become the messiest time of the year. In this episode, Dave and Mary are joined by Adrian Twomey, Employment Law Expert & Partner at Jacob & Twomey Solicitors, to unpack the real risks, legal responsibilities, and unexpected behaviours that regularly turn a festive night out into a January HR nightmare. Together, they explore what employers are actually liable for, whether pre-party reminder emails help, why managers play a pivotal role, and if Christmas parties are – controversially -past their sell-by date entirely. Guests Adrian Twomey – Employment Law Expert & Partner, Jacob & Twomey Solicitors Topics include: Employer Liability: Are Christmas parties an extension of the workplace? Real Case Law Examples – harassment, injuries & blurred boundaries Alcohol, Drugs & Lowered Inhibitions: The behaviour shift HR must prepare for Why pre-party “behave yourselves” emails may backfire Managing Complaints: What to do first thing Monday morning The role of managers in preventing party-night disasters Social Media, Privacy & Reputation Risks Should Christmas Parties Be Cancelled Altogether?

In this episode- recorded just before Christmas- I'm joined by not one but two very special guests to discuss a very special film. The film in question- which incidentally turns 40 years old this year(!)- is 'Ghostbusters' from director Ivan Reitman. My fantastic guests are Dave Corkery from The Cinemile podcast and Liam Dempsey, one of the hosts of Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast. And the three of us are all huge fans of this movie and we could have easily talked for double the length of this episode on our thoughts and feelings for this stone cold classic and the films which have proceeded it (we even touch briefly on 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' which comes out later this year).

In this week's bumper-sized (so much so, in fact, we're wondering if we should have split it into two parts like last week) Empire Podcast, Chris Hewitt chats to Armando Iannucci, the co-writer/director of The Personal History Of David Copperfield about discovering optimism, and how hard it is to write comedy in the middle of a pandemic. And John Nugent talks to Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the latter returns to our screens with gripping plane hijack thriller, 7500. In the remote podbooth, Chris is then joined by James Dyer and Helen O'Hara, as per usual. But the rotating fourth chair this week is occupied by Dave Corkery and Cathy Cullen, the married couple who host one of our favourite podcasts, The Cinemile. Together, this intrepid quintet tackle the Film Fact section, answer questions about graduation speeches and non-trilogy trilogies (it'll make sense when you listen), discuss the planned return of cinemas in the UK, and review 7500, Dating Amber, Resistance, and Radioactive. We can see now why this is bumper-sized. Enjoy, if just for the Irish accents of four-fifths of the team getting increasingly thicker as the pod goes on. Wee buns!
For this special Flixwatcher episode Cathy and Dave from the Cinemile host Kobi and Helen for Kobi’s film choice Robocop! Robocop (the original Paul Verhoeven cyberpunk action film version of course) was the favourite film of nine year-old Kobi, it’s the story of futuristic Detroit where crime is high and the solution is to implant a dead cop into a robot. It should be noted Robocop is not suitable for nine year-olds!! Being Verhoeven it is almost excessively violent, a rogue ED209 peppering an unfortunate employee, Murphy being shot to pieces and the toxic goop incident being particularly graphic and grisly. Surprisingly Robocop hasn’t aged too badly, the stop motion effects from Rob Bottin still look pretty convincing and the performance from Peter Weller adds genuine character and empathy to Robocop. The plot and dialogue maybe haven’t aged as well and forget about the actual science, but it could have been much worse. Scores [supsystic-tables id=105] No one loved revisiting Robocop more than Dave, not even nine year-old Kobi would have given such high scores! It’s no Back To The Future so a 4.5 from Kobi for recommendability, so much love from Dave (probably too much love) which brings Robocop an overall score of 3.87. “Excuse me, I have to go. Somewhere there is a crime happening." What do you guys think? Have you seen Robocop? What did you think? Please let us know in the comments below!

We’re celebrating 100 episodes of Flixwatcher! As a treat, we have TWO bonus episodes! Hosting in this episode are the Cinemile’s Cathy and Dave and the guests are Helen and Kobi! In this episode, we’re reviewing Jordan Peele’s Oscar winning debut Get Out, a satirical American horror from 2017. Get Out is not your typical horror, it manages to be terrifying, provocative, funny and shocking - it’s impossible not to be completely engaged in this film. Get Out benefits from a standout cast of Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener, is visually stunning (the Sunken Place), is genuinely terrifying, surprisingly and fiercely intelligent. It also happens to have some fantastic gory bits too. Scores [supsystic-tables id=104] No surprises that Get Out scores pretty highly across all the scores from Flixwatcher and Cinemile, with fives for recommendability from Helen and Cathy (only a 4.5 from Kobi and Dave) overall Get Out scores a very respectable 4.55. What do you guys think? Have you seen Get Out? What did you think? Please let us know in the comments below!

We present (now in the correct context) our special episode with Kobi Omenaka, discussing the use of Way Down In The Hole in the opening credits of the TV show The Wire. Kobi and his co-host Dave Corkery have launched their new show The Wire Stripped, so conversation ranges from the musical styles and influences of the covers into the content of the seasons themselves, and how the credits music informs and echoes that content. We'll be back to our regular schedule next week. In the meantime, be sure to check out The Wire Stripped on your podcatcher of choice. Song by Song is Martin Zaltz Austwick and Sam Pay; two musicians listening to and discussing every single Tom Waits track in chronological order. website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: songbysongpodcast@gmail.com Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: Way Down In The Hole, Frank's Wild Years, Tom Waits (1987) Way Down In The Hole, Spirit Of The Century, Blind Boys Of Alabama (2002) Way Down In The Hole, "...and all the pieces matter..." - The Music of The Wire, The Neville Brothers (2008) Way Down In The Hole, "...and all the pieces matter..." - The Music of The Wire, DoMaJe (2008) Way Down In The Hole, Washington Square Serenade, Steve Earle (2007) We think your Song by Song experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the songs featured in the show, which you can get hold of from your favourite record shop or online platform.

We stepped it up a notch this episode and hit London's glittering West End with Dave Corkery from the award-winning Cinemile podcast. We watched A Quiet Place, and then told Dave all about The Hopkinsville Goblins - a supposed real life occurrence in Kentucky in 1955 in which a crowd of monsters invaded a small farm. What were they? What do they have to do with A Quiet Place? Was Dave interested at all? Listen to find out...
Set in a dystopian future (never, never utopian!) where there are no apples and only the bad guys have shoes, Renton (no not that Renton) a well groomed engineer/underwear model is stuck in a Groundhog Dog style loop which has something (or nothing) in connection with a mysterious energy source. Neither taut nor thrilling this sci-fi misfire had some interesting ideas but was let down by the cheap sets, unconvincing acting, incoherent plot and unintentional moments of comedy. Despite its short running time of 89 minute the film was a bit of a slog for all to watch and reminded everyone of much better time looping films than this (Groundhog Day, Source Code, Edge of Tomorrow). There was so, so much love for the far superior Edge of Tomorrow from everyone, maybe watch that instead (crosses fingers Netflix will have it soon...) Scores [supsystic-tables id='11'] Arq scored 1.9 overall and this was largely due to the fact that we all agreed it will look and experience would be a lot better in the cinema. It, therefore, scored low on the on the small screen score. What do you guys think? Have you seen ARQ? What did you think? Please let us know in the comments below!

Here Be Dragons... or not really dragons but definitely scaly reptile-y things, as we found out when we went to see The Great Wall. Un deterred, we still dedicate a bumper edition of the WTP Paranormal Podcast to everyone's favourite fire breathers, taking saints, snakes, and sheep along for the ride. With special guest Dave Corkery from the Cinemile Podcast, he helps make this episode at least 33% less moronic.
