Achieving the right work-life balance can often be seen as a myth. Balancing the professional with the personal can definitely be a challenging feat. It does not help that society constantly feeds us the ‘busy’ bug that praises productivity above all else. Fortunately, we are realising the importance of a work-life balance. A balance which…
It is often said that, in many cases, people don't leave a job, they leave a boss. This in itself highlights the huge responsibility that comes along with being the leader of an organisation or team. Some might think that becoming a leader or manager is the end game, where all the hard work they've…
It is a truth universally acknowledged that job satisfaction = employee retention. Everybody knows that - it's an easy equation. The harder part is: x = job satisfaction, find x. Job satisfaction doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. In fact, it's pretty subjective and depends very much on the individual's lifestyle and priorities. So 'x'…
In one of our recent polls respondents were clear that they expect the possibility of hybrid working to be on offer from hereon. The past year has shown us that whilst remote working and never setting foot in the office might not be conducive to team spirit at work, hybrid work offers a nice balance…
Pink October - many of us wear the pink t-shirt, bake the pink cupcake... but how many of us truly stop to think what that pink ribbon really means? That pretty, pink ribbon symbolises a reality much darker than its colour. It's a symbol of loss and victory, of hardship and bravery, of grief and…

Of course respect is always a must and is certainly not particular to the hiring process, yet it is surprisingly lacking in this environment. Perhaps it's easier to forget about it when you're not dealing with someone face-to-face? Or simply when you believe that this is an accepted, and expected, way of doing things. It's…
With June being Pride Month, it's only natural that one of our articles be dedicated to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

You've deliberated, discussed...and decided! You found the One. But hang on, there's one last bit. The bit that is often seen as tedious,…
