AI Revolution: HR’s on-going Earthquake

AI is not just another IT upgrade. It will fundamentally change how we upskill our employees and indeed how work gets done. It represents probably the most important workplace development since the Industrial Revolution. But how should HR professionals respond? What is hype and what essential messages may we be missing in the overwhelm of the many AI reports and bulletins issued daily?

In this Keynote session our Chairman, Barry Phillips, cuts through the noise to provide clear guidance on how HR professionals can assist or lead in the implementation and optimisation of AI in the workplace. 

Areas covered include:

  1. Augmenting workforce skills using GenAI. ChatGPT or Copilot or something else? Why the choice will shape your workplace for years to come

  2. Using AI to drive new levels of efficiency. Where to start? How to identify processes for automation or AI. Five things the successful early adopters are doing.

  3. Optimising GenAI whilst keeping data safe and secure: The vital rule of ABC.

  4. “Shadow use” of AI by employees and what to do about it.

  5. Digital coaching – we share the results of our own Legal Island pilot

Unpacking the EU Pay Transparency Directive: Implications for Irish Employers

The EU Pay Transparency Directive is set to transform how pay equity is managed across the EU and Irish employers need to start preparing now.

With a transposition deadline of 7 June 2026, this new legal framework will bring major changes to recruitment, pay reporting and employee rights. It’s not just about compliance – it’s about shifting towards genuine pay transparency and tackling unjustified gender pay gaps.

Join Maura Connolly, Head of Employment and Partner at Addleshaw Goddard (Ireland) LLP, as she breaks down what Irish employers need to know, including:

  • Pay Transparency in Hiring – The new rules on advertising salary ranges and the ban on asking about candidates’ pay history
  • Employee Rights to Pay Information – What employees can ask for, what you must provide, and how to handle gender-disaggregated data
  • Joint Pay Assessments – When they’re triggered, what they involve, and how to work with employee representatives if gaps of 5% or more emerge

The countdown to 2026 has begun. This session will help you get ahead of the curve, avoid legal pitfalls, and build a more transparent and equitable workplace.

Hybrid Still Isn’t Working – Here’s How HR Can Fix It

Ireland has one of the highest percentages of remote workers in the EU, with 21.5% of employed persons aged 15–64 in 2023 working from home. At the end of 2024, 17.5 % of Irish job listings mentioned remote or hybrid working —more than four times higher than pre‑2020 levels. There is no doubt that hybrid and remote work are now a permanent feature of Ireland’s workplace culture. While these models offer flexibility and access to wider talent pools, they also create challenges that HR professionals must address to protect productivity, engagement and compliance.

In this session, Caroline Reidy, Managing Director, HR Suite, will explore:

  • The Hybrid Paradox – Striking the right balance between in-office presence and remote flexibility remains difficult. Employers are managing varied employee expectations as some push for increased office attendance while others prefer hybrid arrangements.
  • Digital Fatigue & Isolation – Long periods of remote working can lead to burnout, disengagement and disconnection, particularly among younger employees. Employers must find ways to build connection and provide strong mental health supports.
  • Compliance & Policy Overload – Evolving employment laws mean employers must have clear, compliant policies and enforce them consistently across all work arrangements.
  • Pitfalls to avoid - Learnings and top tips to maximise its potential

If you’re an Irish employer looking to turn hybrid working from a headache into a competitive advantage, this session is essential.

A Solicitor’s Guide for HR: Negotiated Exits – How Safe are They?

“I'm not sure this is working out... can we speak off the record?"

It might sound like a harmless opener - but under Irish employment law, the stakes are high when trying to initiate even casual conversations when it comes to an employee’s potential exit.

Join Bernadette Day, Partner at Simmons & Simmons as she explains how HR might manage sensitive conversations. Learn when to involve legal support, how to avoid common pitfalls, and why even well-meant chats can expose an employer to claims resulting in increased costs.

Whether you're dealing with underperformance, a breakdown in trust, or simply trying to avoid litigation, this session will equip you with the tools to approach sensitive discussions legally, strategically - and without walking straight into a WRC claim.

If you're an HR practitioner in Ireland, this is essential knowledge. Don’t assume the law gives you cover - it often doesn’t.”

A HR Consultant’s Guide to Investigations and Note-Taking

Accurate, objective note-taking is one of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of workplace investigations. Poorly recorded notes can undermine the entire process, leading to credibility issues and increased legal risk for employers. This session will give HR professionals a clear framework for capturing high-quality notes that protect both the organisation and the integrity of the investigation.

In this session, Michelle Halloran, HR Consultant, will focus on:

  • Planning for success – how to prepare investigation meetings, brief the note-taker, and communicate the purpose of notes clearly to all parties.
  • Mastering best-practice note-taking – what to record and what to leave out, how to capture facts not opinions, and how to stay compliant with employer obligations.
  • Practical tips that protect your organisation – using a dedicated note-taker effectively, ensuring your notes are objective and defensible, and understanding how they support fair outcomes.

Regulating AI in the Irish Workplace – Key Strategies for HR Leaders

The EU AI Act is now in force and will reshape how Irish employers use AI in the workplace. For HR leaders, the Act has immediate relevance: from recruitment platforms and performance management tools to workplace monitoring systems, many common HR technologies now fall under its scope.

Employers must not only understand the risk categories set out in the Act but also ensure compliance through updated procurement, governance, and oversight processes. With phased enforcement dates already set at EU level, HR leaders need to act now to avoid compliance gaps and reputational risks.

Join Linda Hynes, Partner at Lewis Silkin as she guides you on:

  • Key Enforcement Dates – The timeline for when different provisions of the AI Act take effect and what this means for HR planning (plus a handy one-page takeaway of the timeline!)
  • AI ‘Red Lines’ – What uses are banned outright and how HR can avoid crossing the line
  • AI Risk Categories – How the AI Act classifies AI systems, where HR tech fits in and what triggers high-risk AI
  • Enforcement & Supervision – Who will regulate, what powers they have and how to prepare

Prepare your HR team now for the new era of AI regulation and safeguard your workplace systems.
