Dr Paul Redmond

Dr Paul Redmond is a leading academic and researcher specialising in the sociology of generations and the future of work. Currently serving as the Director of Student Experience and Enhancement at the University of Liverpool, he possesses over three decades of experience analysing the shifting requirements of HR professionals and the various global labor markets. His extensive research focuses on helping organisations bridge the gap between different age groups, particularly the unique expectations of Generation Z and Millennials in relation to Baby Boomers and Generation X. A prolific author, Dr Redmond has published several influential books including A Parent’s Guide to Graduate Jobs and Talking about my Generation. He is a regular commentator in national media, providing expert analysis for the BBC, The Economist, and The Guardian. His work also explores the rise of automation, the growth of the freelance economy, and the disappearance of process-driven roles, often referred to as zombie jobs. He notably contributed his expertise to the BBC documentary Who gets the best jobs?, which examined the intersection of social class and employment. Organisations frequently book Dr Redmond for his ability to translate complex sociological trends into practical strategies for recruitment, leadership, and workplace culture. He remains a sought-after speaker for those looking to understand the diverse motivations and shifting professional behaviours that define the modern multigenerational workforce.

Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
