Join us for our next episode of Inspired Live over on the Inspired Search & Selection LinkedIn Page.

Salary transparency is becoming an increasingly important conversation for employers, recruiters and candidates. With government plans proposing that employers publish salary information in job adverts as part of wider anti-discrimination reforms, publishing businesses may soon need to think more carefully about how they approach pay disclosure.

Taking place on Friday 25 September at 12:00pm, this Inspired Live panel will bring together Verity Hawson, Managing Director of Inspired Selection, Jo Tidball, Founder of We Show the Salary, Andy Macdonald FCIPD, Chief People Officer at IOP Publishing, and Patrick Milnes, Head of Policy at the British Chambers of Commerce.

Together, they’ll explore what changing expectations around salary transparency could mean for publishing employers, from candidate trust and application quality to internal equity, retention, employer brand and the practical steps businesses may need to take before becoming more open about pay.

This session is designed for publishing leaders, HR and People teams, hiring managers, department heads and anyone involved in attracting, engaging or retaining talent. It will be a timely, practical and honest conversation about what is changing, why it matters and how employers can prepare.

How do we help early-career professionals build confidence and independence?

The world of work has changed, and many haven't had the same opportunities to learn through observation, trial and error, and informal workplace experiences as previous generations.

That doesn't mean independence can't thrive. It just means we need to be more intentional about creating opportunities for ownership, learning and growth.

In this blog, we explore practical ways organisations, managers and early-career professionals themselves can help confidence grow over time.

The question isn't whether publishing has great leaders. It's whether organisations are building the capabilities needed for what's next.

As publishing continues to evolve, leadership teams are navigating AI, digital products, audience development, data strategy and changing business models. The challenge isn't always finding more people. It's ensuring the right expertise is around the table.

In her latest article, Abigail Barclay, MD of Inspired Search, explores how fractional leadership can help organisations bridge capability gaps and access specialist knowledge at critical moments.

What capability do you think will be most valuable to publishing organisations over the next few years?
