Podcasts about Taylor Review

The way we work had not been significantly redesigned in over 200 years despite massive cultural shift and technical advances. The pandemic forced change upon us and now that we have tasted autonomy and proven productivity does not suffer, redesign is on the table. While many organizations are embracing flexibility, hybrid, and remote work as a hiring advantage, Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst say that it doesn't go far enough. When they explain the number of people who are still left out of the workforce, you might find yourself agreeing. Tune in to learn more about how they suggest we “fundamentally redefine our psychological contract of work”.CHAPTERS00:04:50 Sensitivity informs the journey00:07:49 Shift to output value00:11:52 A taste of autonomy - the heart of the revolution00:16:18 Flexible work is our nemesis00:21:51 How do we contract this kind of work?00:27:15 Building trust00:31:16 Give people what they want along with structure to get things done00:32:48 Structure?

Over the past 20 years, our workplaces have changed for the better. The MeToo movement and Black Lives Matter have brought harassment and discriminatory actions to the fore, and our workplaces have generally become less tolerant of bad behaviour. But there's another highly damaging aspect of workplace culture that often goes unchecked - workplace bullying. As members of the UK political class come under fire for bullying their staff, Matthew Taylor is putting bullying in the spotlight. Matthew Taylor is the Chief Executive of the NHS Confederation, author of the Taylor Review into Modern Workplace Practices, and has spent many years thinking about creating safer environments for the future of our workforce. Despite his extensive grounding in tackling workplace culture, when he fell victim to poor treatment at work, it took him a long time to realise that what he was experiencing was bullying. Anxiety, self-doubt and isolation meant that he never did anything about it at the time, but it set him on a path of thinking about this prevalent and hidden issue. The pandemic has given many of us a chance to consider what we want from our working lives, and the so-called “Great Resignation” has brought new demands on employers to provide positive, meaningful working environments for their employees. Given the big shifts that are happening in employment, Matthew brings new perspectives and solutions to the table which are aiming to ensure that the future of work is better than the environments many of us work in today. Is bullying an inevitable part of a stressful and high-pressure work environment or is the fundamental way many workplaces are organised and managed a breeding ground for bullying? Matthew examines how work culture and the law could radically change to help prevent it.

At the very heart of the debate about the future of work in the UK is this week's Oven-Ready HR guest. Matthew Taylor is the outgoing CEO of the Royal Society for Arts Manufacturers and Commerce, more commonly known as the RSA, and the former interim director of Labour Market Enforcement, the body created to tackle non-compliance with employment legislation. His 2017 independent report into modern work practises, commonly referred to as The Taylor Review, was the basis of the government's Good Work Plan. In this interview, Taylor argues for a change in the UK tax system to stop exploitation of workers in the gig economy as he considers them particularly vulnerable to unscrupulous firms.  He's also unconvinced that the recent Surpreme Court judgement in the Uber case will have any lasting impact.  He argues that case law isn't the same as a change in the law and the Government have essentially outsourced employment law legislation to the courts.Taylor is also a former Director of Policy and Chief Advisor on Strategy to the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, a former Director of the Think Tank, The Institute for Public Policy Research, and a regular panellist for BBC's Radio Four programme, The Moral Maze.  Matthew was awarded a CBE in 2019 for services to employment rights

The ride-hailing app giant, Uber, said all drivers would earn at least the National Living Wage, a month after the US firm lost a legal battle in the UK over drivers' status. But Union leaders have suggested Uber has been trying to "cherry pick" from the Supreme Court's ruling, Today programmes Mishal Husain spoke to James Farrar, former Uber driver who brought a case against the company, followed by Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress and Matthew Taylor, author of the Taylor Review of modern working practices and until recently director of labour market enforcement for the government.

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 Tune in next week for another episode of Saturday Strategy!

In the latest edition of our Future Talent Podcast, we speak to Matthew Taylor, CEO of the RSA and author of the independent Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices, which primarily aims to examine what ‘good work’ looks like – and about why it’s so important. Six months after the release of the report, we asked Matthew for his take on the reaction to the Review (1:46), why we don’t have to accept that some people have to work in ‘bad’ jobs (12:16) and why we need to create a unified employability skills framework to solve the UK’s productivity problem (20:35). https://www.changeboard.com/ https://www.changeboard.com/future-talent

From the Taylor Review and gig economy to the apprenticeship levy and gender pay gap reporting, 2017 was a big year for employment law. EG talks to Clare Gilroy-Scott, partner at Goodman Derrick LLP, to find out how those changes have impacted the property industry and what’s in store in 2018 – including the GDPR.

Robert Bruce finds that the Taylor Review of modern working practices clears up some of the received wisdom.

Listen as I and my colleagues Vivienne Reeve and Zoe Fatchen  discuss our first impressions of the Taylor Review, the document which is expected to set the labour market policy agenda for years to come. Damp squib or dynamite? Join the conversation.

With the so-called gig economy and the Taylor Review rarely out of the news (the latter even making the Queen's Speech) Jonathan Chamberlain's session at our recent semi-annual employment update seminar about the latest developments in this area was very timely.  In this podcast, he sets out where we are now in the blizzard of cases and reviews and shares his thoughts on the future of employment status. What will the employment relationship look like in the UK?

Nearly one million workers in the UK are on zero-hour contracts. A further five million are nominally self-employed. In modern Britain, flexibility is often presented as a way of reconciling pressures between work and family life. Professor Noel Whiteside, Professor of Comparative Public Policy at the University of Warwick, will approach the subject from the historical perspective. What is now "flexibility" was once "casual labour", and social enquiry revealed the consequences of casual labour over a hundred years ago. The nineteenth century founding fathers of social statistics (Charles Booth, Seehbohm Rowntree, A.L. Bowley among others) argued that, to safeguard Britain’s commercial and imperial pre-eminence, casual employment must be abolished. Theresa May has recently set up a twenty-first century equivalent in the Taylor Review. It is likely to reach similar conclusions. She asks why the social reforms of the early twentieth century designed to tackle the problems of casual labour ultimately failed, and what mistakes we are at risk of making again.

Over 300,000 children were excluded from school in England and Wales last year - almost 6 thousand of them permanently. Many of these children will end up in "alternative provision", sometimes known as pupil referral units (PRUs) - schools for kids that the mainstream can't handle. But five years on from the Taylor Review, a report that found 'a flawed system' that failed to provide good education and accountability for 'some of the most vulnerable children in the country' - has anything really changed? File on 4 hears allegations of a system under pressure; of illegal exclusions, 'missing kids' and how some schools are controversially manipulating league tables through 'managed moves'. We also hear from whistle-blowers from one school who claim an overburdened system and a rise of referrals of kids with extreme and complex needs have led to an increase in the use of physical restraint to manage escalating violent behaviour in classrooms."
