  1. How can trusts create a culture of school improvement?

    How can trusts create a culture of school improvement?

    One of the Department For Education's Trust Quality Description Pillars sets out expectations for trusts to create a culture of continuous improvement. Cleary defined in this pillar is the need for an effective strategy to maintain the performance of existing schools and improve the performance of new ones that join the trust. Key to delivering improvement is being able to implement a centralised performance management process, benchmarking school performance across student, workforce and financial metrics, as a mechanism for sharing best practice.​ Iona Jackson, Head of Insights for Edurio, and Nicholas Clark, Senior Product Manager for IRIS Software Group, discuss how trusts are combining and monitoring workforce, student and finance data to discover the real drivers of positive pupil outcomes.​

    How to unite an equitable workforce

    Working environments have always been places of mixed culture, age and opinion. But as older generations return to work and Gen Z enters the workforce, how does an organisation ensure unity? A tendency exists to treat workers based on generational stereotypes rather than facts, taking a blanket approach, but workplace demographic shifts more polarised than ever before, In this podcast, Jessica Zwaan, Chief Operating Officer for Talentful, and Lizzy Barry, HR Director for IRIS Software Group, explore how leaders can make decisions based on resounding truths rather than sweeping generalisations, using workforce data to ensure a more effective approach to people management.

    The rise of the bookkeeper

    What is driving the boom in the accountancy space? The bookkeeper! The role of the bookkeeper has expanded to being almost identical to the accountant, taking a much more entrepreneurial approach to their service. Gone are the days of only keeping the books. Thanks to advancements in technology, unqualified employees can also process bookkeeping data making it more attractive to set up a bookkeeping business and bring in support staff. In this podcast, Ami Copeland, CEO of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers and Emma Crawford-Falekaono, Accountancy Sales Director at IRIS Software Group explore this changing role and detail the implications on the industry.

  4. What does the accountancy workforce of tomorrow look like?

    What does the accountancy workforce of tomorrow look like?

    Workers are less emotionally invested and they put up with very little. In a candidates’ market, there's no room for poor management or uninspiring workplaces. This is a huge challenge in the accountancy sector. If you find a suitable candidate, you might not be able to keep them.  With this in mind, innovative firms are rethinking the resources they need and are looking elsewhere for talent.  In this podcast, Jonathan Mackie, Director at NRB Chartered Accountants and Emma Crawford-Falekaono, Accountancy Sales Director at IRIS Software Group explore how this movement has come about and how firms can set themselves up for success.

    Realistically, what does AI mean for accountancy?

There are a host of potential benefits from implementing AI, many of which revolve around automating costly, lengthy and mundane tasks. This podcast explores the areas where AI has the potential to empower accountants to change how they do business and its practical application today within forward-thinking firms. Tune in now with Alistair Brisbourne, Head of Technology Research at ACCA and Steven Cox, Director of Business Intelligence at IRIS Software Group.

    People management needs to change

    Open, honest and collaborative communication has become the norm with topics such as social justice issues and mental health spoken about far more.    As a result, managers need to adopt a more intimate and personalised approach to keep employees united as a single community, using data to understand what is and isn’t working. In this podcast Joey Price, CEO of Jumpstart: HR and Stephanie Coward, MD of HCM at IRIS Software Group, explore how a manager can become more of a ‘coach’ who tunes into the emotional side of management while juggling the needs of the business and their team.
