In this episode of The HR Room Podcast, we’re joined by Brian Murphy, Lead Partner for Ireland’s Best Managed Companies Awards Programme at Deloitte, to unpack the findings from their latest research in collaboration with UCD Smurfit. We explore how Irish businesses are embracing AI to boost productivity and support employees, how rising costs are shaping strategy, and why talent acquisition and retention remain the biggest barriers to growth. From innovation and international expansion to employee engagement and wellbeing, Brian shares what the country’s best managed companies are doing today to future-proof their organisations and win the war for talent.
