Mr. Leo Clancy:

That is fine. We have a team within our leadership and skills division that is specifically responsible for our HR advice to companies. Similar to many other bodies, we provide advice to clients on how to deal with certain issues. We are not a statutory body in this regard, but we run webinars and advice seminars on the retention of people. For instance, one of the matters that we ran programmes on last year was hybrid work, blended work and people evolving their workplaces to ensure that they are attractive to employees. In that context, it is part of the conversation. Being the best employers they can be in order to attract and retain the best talent is definitely on the minds of all the employers I have met irrespective of sector. That is where we come in.

We conduct cost-benefit and value for money analyses of the projects that we support financially. These include the levels of salary paid and other elements. That is the remit level we tend to have. We are supportive of workers' rights being respected – that goes without saying. Beyond that, I am unsure as to at what further level the Deputy considers we should be interacting.
