Reimagining the Post Pandemic Workforce
As we enter the second phase of the pandemic, organisations are planning a new combination of remote and on-site working – a hybrid model in which some employees are on premises, whilst others work from home.

The Board and CEO's Role in Shaping Company Culture
Culture matters. It is what makes the difference between a thriving and growing business and one that is struggling with high attrition rates. A company culture is defined by its leaders setting the ‘tone at the top’ – the Chief Executive. High attrition rates and low employee satisfaction should be red flags to any organisation.

Speaking Up: The Importance of HR Having an Equal Voice in The Boardroom
HR directors have a unique skillset that more than meets the requirements for NED roles. The board is usually composed of experienced leaders who focus on high-level issues such as finance and strategy. The lack of HR representation at board level is surprising once you consider all of the issues that are discussed in the boardroom.
