New workers' rights - business winner or killer?

New week, the government’s Employment Rights Act begins to take effect. The legislation, a fulfillment of one of Labour’s biggest manifesto promises, changes sick pay, parental leave and unfair dismissal rights. Plus, future measures will target zero hours contracts. Keir Starmer has described the legislation as the “biggest upgrade in workers’ rights in a generation”. But - coming on top of increases in the National Minimum Wage, higher national insurance contributions and increases in business rates - many business owners are concerned. So, what exactly is coming down the track? And how can businesses get ready?

Drill baby drill? The new battle for the North Sea

As the conflict in the Middle East threatens to whack the world economy with an energy shock - and possibly a huge recession, the debate about the UK’s North Sea has re-ignited. Should we be drilling there to help our energy security in a volatile global market? There’s now a growing chorus of voices, from surprising places, calling on the government to support more North Sea exploration. So, will the government – having banned new licenses as part of net zero drive – now give them the go ahead?

Inside the drone war - With CEO of Modini Nick Sharpe

Drones are transforming war, from Ukraine to the Middle East - some 80 percent of battlefield casualties in Ukraine are now the result of drone strikes. The devices are cheap to manufacture, are transforming military strategy but represent a massive challenge for the British armed forces as they try to modernise. It is also a business challenge. So, which companies are best-placed to make the drones needed? And how do they get through the complexities of tight budgets, ever-changing technology and tough competition?

Worse than expected? Why Iran could trigger a major energy shock

The attack on Iran and its consequences have sent shockwaves around the global economy, hitting stock markets, airlines and energy supplies. UK gas prices have nearly doubled and the flow of a fifth of the world’s crude oil supply - which travels through the Strait of Hormuz in tankers - has largely ground to a halt. As the ripple effect is felt across the world, how harsh will the economic fallout be, will inflation - only just under control - rise? And, with gas and oil stores in Europe limited, might there be a major energy shock ahead?

Will quantum computing change everything? With Quantum Motion CEO

Quantum computing has been described as “the next big thing “ - a tech revolution to rival AI that could have implications across sectors as diverse as finance, chemicals, life sciences and manufacturing. This cutting-edge tech - which uses quantum physics to solve problems much faster than today’s regular computers - is already being used by HSBC. The bank has trialled IBM’s quantum technology in trading. Over the past few decades the government has been investing heavily in quantum, and many start-ups have spun out of UK universities. We speak to one UK company that is scaling up, Quantum Motion, to ask - how long it will be before this tech sees a breakthrough on the scale of AI? What is the commercial potential and, as some have suggested, will it break the blockchain? Presenters: Katie Prescott, technology business editor, The Times and host of the Tech PodcastDominic O’Connell, columnist and business presenter, Times Radio Guest: James Palles-Dimmock, Chief Executive, Quantum Motion Producer: Miriam Hall Senior Producer: Julia Johnson Executive Producer: Kate Ford Photo credit: Getty Get in touch: thebusiness@thetimes.com Hosted on Acast.

These are exactly the topics that should be front and center in discussions about tech today. In fact, the dominance of tech in our lives means these are the most important questions of our time. Very valuable listen. Thank you!
An unsubtle advert for pwc

LLJ follower

This show is basically a thinly vailed advert for PWC. Completely biased and an opportunity to showcase their products . Not very in-depth . The end of every show feels like the outcome is we should seek PWC for more information. PWC should just be upfront and claim this is a PWC product showcase podcast. Many companies have those. Don't try and hide it as "business insights".
A real eye opener

I am not tech savvy or all that tech interested, but I decided it would be a good thing to educate myself about what the tech industry is doing and where it’s headed. This podcast was a real eye opener for me and made me realize that a lot of the side effects of social media and big tech are not only unfortunate but actually sinister, and we have to be extremely aware of how we engage and draw boundaries. I highly recommend listening to all 8 episodes.
