Meanwhile, Uber’s Supreme Court appeal in July could drive up private taxi fares by 20% if VAT comes into play, so enjoy your cheap rides while you can.

Welcome to The Spark—your weekly creative pick-me-up from The Creative Boom Podcast. Every Thursday, we bring you a shorter, snappier episode filled with inspiration, creative news, and practical tips to carry you through the week. Whether you need motivation or insights, we've got you covered! This week, we welcomed Joseph Parsons to the podcast. By day, Joseph is a freelance graphic designer, and by night, he takes to the stage as a stand-up comedian. His dual career path sparked a fascinating discussion about balancing two passions: navigating the challenges of freelancing and the unexpected parallels between pitching design ideas and performing stand-up comedy. This episode is for you if you've ever juggled different roles in your creative journey. Joseph shared his thoughts on how the industry is changing, including the impact of the Government's IR35 legislation on freelancers and small businesses. We also explored how comedy has evolved, with platforms like social media offering new opportunities for comedians to find success outside traditional routes. Joseph's upcoming tour, Re-Designed, is a brilliant blend of his experiences in comedy and design—be sure to check it out for a good laugh and some relatable industry insights. This week's creative news takes us on a journey of nostalgia and innovation. In Finland, Aalto University is unveiling Nokia's design archive on 15 January, celebrating the brand that defined the mobile world in the '90s. From the iconic 8110 "banana phone" to the customisable 3210, the archive is a treasure trove of design sketches, marketing materials, and audio recordings, offering a rich blend of inspiration and history. Meanwhile, Cornish landscape artist Dianne Griffiths has won the 2024 People's Choice Award for her atmospheric painting Driving Home.

It offers a fresh look at life behind the Iron Curtain. This detailed history reveals the complexities of the GDR, from its Marxist roots to its collapse, blending personal stories with political insights. A must-read for history buffs!

Start small—ask simple questions like, "What brought you here?" Follow up afterwards to keep the relationship alive. Authenticity is key. Networking isn't about selling yourself—it's about making new friends. On Monday, our guest will be Jessi Brattengeier, creative director at The New York Times. She will share her inspirations, processes, and aspirations and give us a really interesting look behind the scenes at one of the world's most prestigious publications.

EMERGENCY POD - We've recently seen the repeal (then un-repeal) of IR35 and the US's labor department classification proposal. Some call these laws the 'freelance killer' while others say this reaction is overblown. Unfortunately both are right, since the reality is that the freelance economy isn't going anywhere, yet the direction of current legislation does force companies to prioritize pro-active legal classification controls and partnerships, which in turn takes power and control away from freelancers and their choice to work how they want. In this episode we'll cut through the noise and get to the core of where legislation is heading by talking with Glen, the EU's foremost legal and policy practitioner. Our prior article on the US's legislation: https://humancloud.substack.com/p/emergency-update-new-worker-classification

It's a scary time as the Biden Administration proposes a freelancer killing bill that can rocket ship inflation and put the US 50 years behind. The freelance economy is going nowhere. (find these statistics in our newsletter >> humancloud.substack.com) 40% of full-time employees in the US have a side-gig 90% plus of corporate leaders in a recent global survey said they utilize freelancers and say they will increase their reliance. 80% of employers say they are increasing their use of freelancers as they suspend full-time hires. Instead the US classification direction will force companies to prioritize other countries like the UK who repealed it's equivalent law IR35 and put their freelancers in front of their US equivalent freelancers.

Recruiters everywhere are experiencing a surge in demand for quality candidates combined with an increasing quest for diversity and inclusion. Traditional approaches and outdated processes are proving inadequate to meet these challenges. Consequently, many recruitment firms are failing to capitalize on the huge potential for growth. My next guest, Natasha Makhijani, has managed to transform these challenges into an opportunity to revolutionize the recruitment industry. In this episode, Natasha shares how her team has developed their own mobile apps to increase candidate attraction, engagement and diversity.  She also reveals how they ensure much greater diversity and how they're pioneering the use of Amazon's Alexa to stay at the cutting edge of executive search.

Natasha explains, “when we go out and map the candidates, once we've got a long list of candidates whom we think are of interest. At that point, you can either just reach out to them or you can send them a link to an app which allows them to watch a little video.” If they like what they see, they can proceed from there onwards but you already got them to the point to make a small commitment. The app is proving to be a highly effective solution to combat the challenges of a candidate-driven market.  Our Sponsors This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro®.  i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

  We invite Nicole Slowey, Operations Director at Qdos, to come back for a second podcast to discuss IR35 legislation and the off-payroll working rules. Already in play in the public sector, IR35 will come into force in the private sector in April 2021, after a 12 month delay due to the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Nicole talks to Grant Speed about what it means for commercial organisations, and how independent workers and their employers can prepare for it. Qdos is a leading contract insurance firm specialising in insurance and advice for UK-based contractors, freelancers, and consultants. Importantly, the organisation boasts an extensive knowledge of IR35 and off-payroll working legislation.  www.qdoscontractor.com Presenter: Grant Speed, Managing Director, Odgers Interim  

For many businesses and independent IT professionals, IR35 was set to dominate this year; the expanded tax legislation was going to crack down on the use of limited companies by contractors in order to exploit tax loopholes, while simultaneously forcing organisations to pay the national insurance contributions of many of its temporary freelancers.The ongoing coronavirus crisis has now kicked those plans into touch, with the enforcement of the new legislation pushed back until next year - but what impact will this delaying have on IT contractors and those that employ them, and how should they be preparing for when it does finally come into force in 2021?In this week's episode of the IT Pro Podcast, Adam and guest host Keumars Afifi-Sabet talk to James Poyser, InniAccounts CEO and founder of IF35 comparison site Offpayroll.org.uk, to find out exactly what the changes mean, and how those affected should respond.Visit bit.ly/ITPP-IR35 for links to everything we've talked about in this week's episode.

Sir Philip Rutnam, the department's most senior civil servant, quit on Saturday after accusing Ms Patel of orchestrating a "vicious" campaign against him, of lying about her involvement in it and of creating a climate of fear among her officials. Plus do you know the news tax rules around IR35?

Three years ago, IR35 came into effect in the public sector. This April, the same changes will affect the private sector. Jes Ladva, Head of the Government Practice at Odgers Interim, speaks to Anthony Francis, former HR Relationship Manager at the Royal Borough of Kingston and Munira Kachwala, former Head of HR Commissioning at Harrow Council, about how they prepared their organisations for IR35 and what firms in the private sector can do to prepare for the same changes coming in April.         Presenter: Jes Ladva, Partner and Head of the Government Practice, Odgers Interim

With confirmation that the changes to the IR35 regime will hit the private sector in April 2020, like it or not, the onus is now on private sector Payroll Managers to prepare for these changes ahead of April 6th 2020.  Richard George, Director of Education at The Payroll Centre discusses the complexities of the new IR35 legislation and provides practical advice to help you prepare so you can develop a robust plan for payroll compliance.

IR35 is the word on everyone's lips at the moment, but what is it all about? The UK government's anti-avoidance tax legislation is expected to take effect next year, with confirmation that off-payroll rules first introduced to the public sector, will now be amended and extended to the private sector. Recently, in the wake of the government's tax crackdown, a number of high-profile businesses started culling contractors, in what the press are calling the ‘IR35 Blame Game'.It seems there is mass confusion over exactly who will be affected and how severely; and whether there will be delays in implementing it as some are calling for. For practical advice on what this means and what you need to do, tune into this podcast episode.
