Podcasts about redundancies

How do law firm owners pass on their business? Their culture and legacy? At a time when private equity investment is increasingly popular and offers a potentially lucrative route to exit, firms are also exploring the opportunities presented by alternatives; including Employee owned Trusts (EoTs). As Mark Slade former CEO and current CTO of Fidler and Pepper explains in this latest Today's Conveyancer Podcast, his firm has recently opted to become an EoT.He candidly discusses how the directors began to explore their succession planning; initially a trade sale was an option. He says they explored private equity too. But the more he and co‑owner (and brother) Matt explored these routes, the more uneasy they became. Redundancies. Loss of identity. Earn‑outs. Reporting to new bosses. The risk of being “kicked into touch” after decades of service. None of it aligned with the firm they had built.The success of another firm prompted Slade to look into EoT and he discovered what it offered was what he and Matt were looking for.  A future shaped by the people who built the business; protection for long‑serving staff; flexibility for his co-directors, a structure that rewarded loyalty and performance; and importantly, a legacy bigger than any partner.It's not a "quick-win"... the payout is long‑term. The business must continue to perform. Succession still matters. But the reaction from staff, who were aware of plans to look at what the future of the business looked like, was immediate and emotional. Slade concludes an EOT deserves a serious look for firms looking at their succession planning.The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

They explore what makes a redundancy genuinely compliant under the Fair Work Act, where employers commonly get it wrong and the practical steps organisations can take to reduce legal risk while leading workplace change with transparency and compassion. 

We often hear the ideas of great thinkers, but rarely get to understand how they actually think or who they are as people.In this episode of The Courageous Leaders Podcast, I am joined by Rory Sutherland, President Emeritus of Ogilvy UK, best-selling author, and one of the most influential voices in advertising, behavioural science, and decision-making.If you've ever wondered why some ideas take off and others die fast, why the little things in business matter more than you think, or how to rethink productivity for your team, you'll find something practical and eye-opening in this conversation. We cut through business theory and get honest about human behaviour, team culture, and leadership decisions that work in the real world.You'll come away with new ways to look at decision-making, organisational performance, and what it takes to lead bravely in uncertain times, especially with the rise of AI, complexity, and shifting workplace cultures.What We Cover:00:00 Intro01:41 Dare to Be Trivial: Why Small Things Matter13:23 Leadership, Influence & The Power of Great Teachers14:50 Why Business Is Learned Through Real Experience18:03 Time, Stress & How Rory Thinks About Control24:12 Creativity, Uncertainty & Not Knowing Yet28:00 What Leaders Miss in Strategy & Collective Thinking30:17 Why Human Businesses May Win in an AI World34:51 Why Teams Fail & The Problem with Over-Measuring35:45 The Disappearance of PAs & What It Means for Leaders36:55 Redundancies & The Danger of Short-Term Thinking40:34 How Rory's Mind Works & Why He Avoids Talking About Himself49:45 The Influence of His Mum & Understanding Human Behaviour51:22 Neurodiversity Is a Feature, Not a Bug54:24 Final Reflections & Closing ThoughtsKey Leadership Insights• Why great leaders focus on influence, not control• How creativity comes from being comfortable with uncertainty• Why measuring individuals destroys team performance• The hidden cost of short-term thinking in leadership• How silos quietly break organisations from within• Why neurodiversity is a competitive advantage, not a weakness• The courage required to back ideas others doubt• Why founder-led businesses often outperform corporatesIf you want to lead better, think differently, and understand how great leaders actually operate, this episode will challenge how you see leadership.

Indi is joined by Billie Mcloughlin and Kevin Fitzgerald for a busy episode covering AI's move into tax preparation, Xero's repositioning as an operating system, and a string of practical product updates across the accounting tech stack. Indi opens with news of Advancetrack's upcoming GBX conference on 12th May at the National Gallery, where the 2026 Accounting Talent Index launches. Early data suggests 70% of firms say workloads are increasing pressure on senior staff, cutting against the narrative that AI is the profession's most urgent problem right now. Kevin adds context with Employment Hero's March Jobs Report, drawn from roughly 120,000 UK employees. Headline employment growth is positive at just over 5.3% month on month, but wage growth at 8.8% remains high and SME hiring confidence is wobbling again as April's employer legislation updates and the Fair Work Agency's growing focus create fresh uncertainty. Billie recalls a live demo she recorded: Perplexity's new Computer tool filling out a US tax return end to end, pulling documents, error-checking and asking clarifying questions. It doesn't file, but it does everything up to that point. US-only for now, but a clear direction of travel. Kevin links it to a bolder claim from Tom Blomfield, ex-CEO of Monzo, who argued income tax collection could be restructured within five years, cutting out advisers and individual returns. The hosts are sceptical, but take the underlying question about accountant value seriously. Mayday gets a positive segment covering a strong Q1: centralised control of contacts, chart of accounts and tracking categories across multiple Xero entities, plus the acquisition of Easy Month End. Indi raises the question of whether a Xero acquisition is on the cards. Xero OS generates the most debate. Billie breaks down Jax shifting from assistant framing to something closer to an AI CFO. Indi's reading is more structural: the move from ecosystem to operating system signals Xero closing the dome around its data, compressing the opportunity for apps sitting on top of it. Kevin covers Oracle's Fusion Finance agentic applications, where agents chase payments and manage collections without waiting for human input, and notes AI is collapsing roadmap timelines from twelve months to weeks. Also covered: Dext Payments moving into payroll payments; Briefcase One adding live bank feeds with automated categorisation and ledger posting; FreeAgent's MTD bulk workflow release; and GoCardless cutting 90 jobs while targeting EBITDA positive in 2026.

Redundancies are one of the most sensitive and high-risk moments in the life of any organisation. When they are mishandled, the consequences can be profound - from reputational damage and industrial action to long-term impacts on trust, morale and employer brand. In this episode of The HR Room Podcast, Dave and Mary are joined by employment law specialist Adrian Twomey, Partner at Jacob & Twomey Solicitors, to unpack what happens when redundancies go wrong. Using a recent high-profile Irish case as a starting point, they explore the legal obligations, human realities and organisational risks involved in collective redundancies. Together, they discuss why empathy matters as much as compliance, how consultation processes shape outcomes, and what HR leaders and managers can do to avoid the worst-case scenario - including strike action, reputational harm and unfair dismissal claims. Guest • Adrian Twomey –Partner, Jacob & Twomey Solicitors Topics include: • Why redundancies are one of the toughest moments for any organisation • What went wrong in the recent Covalen case and what HR leaders can learn from it • Statutory vs enhanced redundancy payments - expectations and realities • What a “good” consultation process really looks like in practice • The legal requirements under collective redundancy legislation • Common risks: unfair dismissal, discrimination claims and reputational damage • The impact of redundancies on morale, trust and organisational culture • Managing anger, fear and resistance during consultation • Supporting managers who must deliver difficult messages • Why empathy, transparency and professionalism are critical to outcomes • How organisations can recover their employer brand after redundancies Useful Links & Resources • Irish Times article on the Covalen redundancy case • Protection of Employment Act 1977 – Collective Redundancies • Insight HR – Redundancy & Restructuring Services Get in touch If you're not already following us on LinkedIn, please do.

Centrica CEO Chris O'Shea provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities facing the UK energy sector. He begins by addressing the recent collapse of Tomato Energy, emphasising that when energy suppliers fail, the costs are ultimately borne by consumers. He calls for stronger regulation and greater financial resilience among energy companies, criticising Ofgem for a lack of transparency. He argues that the current system allows "profits to be privatised while losses are socialised".O'Shea discusses the government's net zero by 2030 target, describing it as “unbelievably ambitious” but necessary to drive progress in the industry. He stresses the importance of a balanced and paced transition, warning that moving too quickly could leave communities behind, as happened with the closure of coal mines in Fife. The interview explores the decline of the North Sea oil industry and its impact on Aberdeen, with O'Shea noting that the full effects on jobs have yet to be felt. He highlights Centrica's commitment to job creation and apprenticeships, aiming to take on one apprentice every day for the next decade.Drawing on his own experience of job insecurity as a graduate, he underscores the need for careful planning and investment in skills to ensure a just transition. He also addresses the challenges of the energy transition, acknowledging that it will be neither cheap nor easy, but insisting that it is essential for the country's future.Presenter :Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry JonesTimecodes: 02:54 Collapse of Tomato Energy 05:52 Regulation and financial resilience in the energy sector 12:05 Centrica's investment strategy and shareholder returns 14:07 Profits in energy retail vs. other business segments 21:15 Net Zero 2030 aspirations 24:36 Government policy on renewables, net zero, and North Sea licenses 29:39 The impact of the North Sea's decline on Aberdeen and job creation 34:00 Graduate programs and youth employment 37:19 Redundancies and management cuts

Employers in Ireland are implementing 'quiet redundancies' to scale back workforces in the face of uncertainty, tariffs and AI. By Aoife Ryan-Christensen, Brainstorm.

Journey forward to the year 2035 and take a trip to Chicago with Emma and Dominique to figure out just what all the robots are up to these days. These two read the quintessential robot sci-text I, Robot by Isaac Asimov and do a bit of their own puzzle solving to figure out just how this series of short conundrums with the three laws of robotics became a Will Smith cop action movie in 2004. Get real deep into the concept of robots as a metaphor, grounded near-future tech, and egregious product placement in this month's Unnatural Selection.   Content warnings for I, Robot by Isaac Asimov include: space religion, robotic puzzles, cave-ins, being trapped on an asteroids, being separated from your robot caregiver, and dying (but only for a little bit).   Content warnings for I, Robot (2004) include: standard action-movie violence, drowning of a child, car accidents, robot racism, uncanny valley special effects, and an absolutely absurd price for two beers.   The articles Emma references in this article can be found here: https://www.screenwritersutopia.com/article/d19127d8 https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/i-robot-movie-writer-interview-jeff-vintar-talks-isaac-asimov-ties https://variety.com/2025/film/news/alan-tudyk-i-robot-test-screenings-will-smith-1236486844/   You can find Emma on bluesky @crabmoney.bsky.social and Dominique on most socials @DomSDickey.

They're joined by Adrian Twomey (Partner - Jacob and Twomey Solicitors) to explore the implications of these practices on employees and the role of trade unions in the redundancy process.

The redundancy process being challenging for both management and employees. Timing is crucial when implementing redundancies. AI replacing certain job roles. Legislation regarding redundancies being often outdated. Trade unions playing a diminishing role in redundancy processes. Clear planning and communication being essential in redundancy situations.

This week, on episode 1 of season 9 of The RAG Podcast, I'm joined by Samm Green, co-founder of Few & Far, a UK-based product management recruitment business with 22 people and a powerful story of resilience.Samm was the very first guest I ever recorded on The RAG back in 2019, and at that time, he had big plans to scale to 40 staff and eventually exit. While some of that came true, the road since has been far from smooth.In this episode, Samm opens up about: - The financial and emotional toll of losing over £350,000 during the market downturn. - How burnout and stress led to physical illness and a trip to A&E. - The decision to rebuild and focus on profit, not just growth. - Why transparency and community have been key to recovery. - How he's turned the business around to be on track for £1m EBITDA in 2025.This is one of the most honest conversations I've ever had on The RAG.

The hidden crisis closing schools, cutting jobs, and reshaping teachingThis week, Dylan and Hayden dive into a topic that's flying under the radar but changing the future of teaching forever.UK birth rates have fallen to historic lows – and now schools are feeling the impact.

Now, perhaps the most startling thing of the news yesterday that our old mates at the state radio broadcaster have opened a voluntary redundancy programme, is that they've never done that before. 100 years they've been doing the business at Radio New Zealand. 100 years, never had a voluntary redundancy. Tells you something about how insulated the real world from the real world they are. Mind you, I don't even know that's true actually, because Radio New Zealand used to be a whole different beast. In my early days of broadcasting, Radio New Zealand encompassed commercial and non-commercial radio stations, and there was, I can tell you from personal experience, no shortage of carnage fiscally. The place was run by halfwits and we were permanently in a state of flux, if not carnage. The most famous might have been a thing called Project Aurora, where we allegedly all took pay cuts – that was a scandal in and of itself. So it's not like the media hasn't seen tricky days, and I think that's the ultimate point here, isn't it? There's a tremendous amount of coverage of the media, too much, really. And if I can be a little bit blunt, a lot of the tough stuff in the industry is no more upsetting than the dark days for any number of industries. Also, and this applies to Radio New Zealand, if you live in a false world, it will catch up with you eventually. Yes, media like a lot of industries is changing, but then it always has. 44 years in and counting for me, I can tell you media has been in a constant state of change, if not upheaval – it's all I've ever known. No, it wasn't always Google or Facebook nicking the ad money, but it was video, or TV, or deregulation of licences, or rubbish management. Having worked at Morning Report myself, you've never seen such a sheltered workshop of lavish staffing and indulgence. They enter the Radio Awards every year and apart from not winning, the joke in the industry is the number of producers they've got: 19. Are you serious? For contrast, this show, which 1. wins and 2. has more listeners, has three. And that includes Glenn, which is debatable as to whether we should include him at all. I wish no one ill will, don't get me wrong. I wish no one ill will. I wish boom times prevailed across the whole landscape. But equally, I wish people lived in the real world. And Willie Jackson handing out tens of millions is irresponsible politics, not a business plan. Willie and his ilk, as always, never paid the price for this. The poor sap who took the new Radio New Zealand job will. The money that pays for jobs has either earned or it's given. If it's given, it's always on a whim – in this case a political one. It is not their fault that Willie is an idiot. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A record number of businesses have sought advice about redundancies in the first three months of the year, according to new Employers and Manufacturers Association data. EMA's AdviceLine received 403 queries from businesses on the topic of restructuring and redundancies last quarter - almost double that in the same period two years ago (204). EMA's head of advocacy and strategy Alan McDonald says this reflects many years of tough economic conditions. "The last resort play for a lot of businesses when they look at their costs is - well, we're going to have to restructure the number of people. And that's what's happening."

Part 2 of our double-episode about the Working-Class Literature Festival held every year in Florence, at the former GKN car parts factory, which was taken over by the workers after they were made redundant in 2021.We're joined again by working-class author and one of the main organisers of the festival, Alberto Prunetti, and former GKN worker, Dario Salvetti. We also talk to another two working-class writers who have participated in the festival: Claudia Durastanti, who helps organise the festivals, and Anthony Cartwright, who has attended the last two.In this episode, we discuss what went on at the last two festivals and what made them different from conventional literary events: from the attendees and various events and presentations to the participation of GKN workers not just in logistics but in readings and performances. We also discuss the possibilities for the future of the festival - and for the GKN struggle itself.Full show notes including further reading, photos, a documentary about the GKN struggle, and a full transcript are available on our website: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/wcl10-11-florence-working-class-literature-festival/AcknowledgementsMany thanks also to Alberto Prunetti and Edizioni Alegre for giving us permission to reproduce photos from previous years' festivalsThanks to all our patreon supporters for making this podcast possible.
