Risk and performance: HR's role in managing riskOne of the questions answered in this report is: how should the CIPD be responding in respect of risk management to meet the needs of its members? And how should it develop practitioner expertise in relation to risk management? This week's People Management has a feature on how risk management can provide HR with an opportunity to maximise performance. What are your thoughts on the role HR plays in risk management? We've started a thread on this topic where you can share your views. |

Irish resistanceTwo major disputes in the last six months have put the thorny issue of displacement of Irish workers with cheaper foreign nationals to the top of the agenda. Ireland has long had a voluntarist system of industrial relations through its national partnership agreements. New legislation would be needed to deter displacement, and some feel that would threaten the voluntarist system. This is just one of the topics being discussed at the CIPD Ireland Conference this week. |
