Talking HR 019: Involving employees in budget cuts

 

   In this show, we discuss the current economic environment, particularly in Ireland and the UK.  And we talk about what employers are doing to deal with the impacts of the recession, discussing in particular, British Airways’ recent wheeze to ask staff to work with no pay.

Jon also discusses passion and engagement, in connection with the MacLeaod review in the UK, and with employees of the French firm of New Fabris threatening to blow up their factory.
