If you're a regular listener to Oven-Ready you'll know that we out together a couple of compilation episodes called Oven-Ready Reheated listening again to some of the key moments from the season's episodes.[00:39] William Tincup is the President and Editor at Large for Recruiting Daily, the number 1 site for recruitment news and opinion. I ask William if there is a pressure from employers for a return to the office in the United States.[02:56] In the first of two clips, Professor Sir Cary Cooper CBE , Professor of Psychology at Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester and the Immediate Past President of the CIPD responds to my question about the lack of soft skills training at business schools.[05:17] In this second segment, Professor Cooper reveals how flexibility can be introduced to the benefit of front line workers.[06:22] Staying with the soft skills theme, Dr Alex Young the founder of immersive learning specialist Virti and a former orthopaedic surgeon gives a direct response to the difference between a soft and a power skill. [08:18] Sandi Wassmer is the Chief Executive of the Employer's Network for Equality and Inclusion. In this clip, Sandi reveals what drives her to campaign for a more inclusive world.[10.52] I ask Steven Rothberg the Founder and Chief Visionary officer of College Recruiter how interns should be rewarded for their efforts.[13:01] Emma Burrows, the head of international law firm Trowers & Hamlins' Employment Department came on to the show to discuss the links between HR and a firm's ESG goals.  Here we talk about how employee wellbeing connects to the “S” or social in an ESG framework.

In this episode, I examine the relationship between ESG – environmental, social and governance considerations and HR. Taking note of an organisations ESG factors is now commonplace for the investment community.  Today, it's not enough just to consider financial returns, investors increasingly are concerned a company's impact on the environment, the structure and make up of the leadership team and really since the pandemic, how businesses interact with their workers. Simply are organisations doing the right thing and being good ‘corporate' citizens?Emma Burrows is a partner and head of the Trowers & Hamlins' Employment department and has specialised in employment law for over 30 years. Headquartered in London, Trowers is an international law firm with 160 partners and more than 950 employees.What is ESG? [1:46]ESG is a simple matrix of criteria under 3 broad headings; 1. Environmental, 2. Social and 3. Governance goals, that go beyond the usual financial metrics that investors use when deciding to invest in an organisation.  Doesn't ESG interfere with making money? [3:17]Emma admits there can be at times a conflict between an organisations duty to maximise returns for shareholders and their ESG credentials, ESG after all takes investment in terms of time and resources. But she argues, having a happy workforce in itself helps organisations to make better financial returns.Isn't ESG just fairy dust and 'greenwashing? [4:17]Emma reveals there is evidence of some organisations 'greenwashing' - e.g spending more resources on marketing themselves as environmentally friendly than they really are, but she argues investors are wising up to this.So where does HR come in? [5:36]Employee voice really drives ESG because most employees want to work for organisations who look after their workers, act responsibly and pay taxes whilst minimising their impact on the environment. Therefore, Emma argues that HR has a key role to play from the very start of the ESG journey.ESG and the link to Talent [9:32]Emma explains that ESG is a valuable tool in an organisations armoury when it comes to attracting talent. In particular, GenZ and millennial workers will often evaluate an organisation's ethics and values when job hunting. Leadership should live ESG values [16.16]It's essential that leaders live their ESG values says Emma.  As she say's there is no point in having statements about diversity if for example the board is entirely male and pale!ESG and Employment Law [24:26]Emma believes that legislation to clarify modern employment relationships such as workers in the gig economy is long overdue.  She refers to Lord Hendy's Status of Workers bill (listen to Lord Hendy's Oven Ready episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1545991/9940334)Resources:https://www.trowers.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/podcasthost/https://ovenreadyhr.com

If you doubt yourself or you’ve taken the wrong turn, then there’s a lot of nuggets of wisdom you’ll get when you tune in to this episode of The Tutor Podcast. Today, Neil sits with Chris Plumley, a partner-lawyer at Trowers & Hamlins, to talk about humble beginnings, social mobility, diversity inclusion, importance of coaching & mentoring among other stuff. He also talks about his experience working in a shipyard while attending night school and how his co-workers’ bad impressions about his life plans didn’t stop him from being what he is today. Chris’ journey to becoming a corporate lawyer should be motivating for all of us to finally kick-start the journey towards the goal we want to! KEY TAKEAWAYS “The only way I’m gonna get out of this is to do something different.” Chris’ parents were divorced when he was a kid. This affected his schooling. He started not attending school and decided to work as a shipyard plumber. In the course of it, he realized he doesn’t like what he’s doing so he enrolled for night school. He finished night school and his apprenticeship in the shipyard, so he enrolled in a university. From then on, he sought to pursue a law career. Being ostracized for moving up. When his co-workers in the shipyard found out that he’s not going to stay as a plumber, they treated him badly. They kept saying that Chris is taking a good job from someone who could’ve been a very good plumber. He was bullied. Working in the shipyard is a microcosm of social mobility. It was a dying industry. The core staff would retain but the temporary staff would go. There was too much free time and there was nothing to do. Diversity inclusion program within the firm. He and his partners are trying to work out within the organization what contributions to make. Some are reluctant to tell their humble beginnings before they became lawyers. He says to learn to accept your background. There’s a lot happening. It’s horrifying to hear people facing discrimination every day. Having a mentor. Chris admits that he sometimes suffers from impostor syndrome. When a work, whether it’s transactional or leading a group, it’s hard to get motivated. But, you have to get moving for your team. Chris knows what causes and triggers such unwanted behaviours. He tries not to get worked up and get very tired. He used post-its to remind him of he should act whenever. Having consistent behaviour. Chris undergoes coaching to work on his mechanisms to have a consistent behaviour. People you interact with also need a consistent and genuine characteristic, especially when doing business. BEST MOMENTS “Accept your background. Accept where you’ve come from. Let your baggage go.” “The trick is not to beat yourself up.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Thomson Reuters Transformation of Women's Leadership in the Law Marie Furie|The Beyond Partnership ABOUT THE HOST Neil Cowmeadow is a maverick peripatetic guitar teacher from Telford with over 19 years of experience in the business of helping people.
