Episode 23: The Linklaters Ideas Foundry
Speakers: Lila Vialat, Ian Rodwell, Dr Sylwia Ciuk and Dr Kay Galpin
Far from being a temporary phenomenon, it now seems that hybrid working is here to stay. But what does that mean for young people entering the workplace? Do they experience it as liberation or something more problematic? In this episode, we are joined by Dr Sylwia Ciuk and Dr Kay Galpin from Oxford Brookes University who talk about their groundbreaking research into what it is really like to be an early‑career hybrid worker – and the implications for the organisations they work for. During this thought-provoking discussion, we explore the BOND framework (belonging, opportunities for connection, new routines and skills, dedicated support), the reality of “green dot” anxiety and blurred boundaries, and the small, deliberate actions that help young talent thrive. So, if you feel your hybrid model is working just fine or assume that graduates have it all worked out perfectly, this conversation may surprise you.

Episode 8: New EU anti-money laundering regime
In Episode 8, Paloma Fierro and Stefaan Loosveld look at how the new EU anti‑money laundering package will work in practice. They explain the shift to a Single AML Rulebook with directly applicable rules across all Member States, the creation of AMLA as a powerful EU supervisor for up to 40 major financial institutions, and key changes such as lower customer due diligence thresholds, extended requirements for politically exposed persons and stricter rules for high‑risk countries and correspondent banking. They also highlight AMLA’s robust enforcement powers and why firms need to start impact and gap analyses now, well ahead of the 2027 and 2028 go‑live dates.
