Why should employee wellbeing matter?
Employee wellbeing has become an important part of a healthy working environment. The Coronavirus pandemic really highlighted the importance of good wellbeing, prompting 84% of employers to become more attentive to employee mental health.

Supporting Muslim candidates and clients observing Ramadan
Ramadan is a month in the Islamic calendar commemorating when the Qur’an was first revealed to the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).

2022 awaits
As 2021 draws to a close, and I start to shake off the disappointment of the quick-fire (inevitable) Ashes defeat (I have put it in the drawer marked “2021 anti-climactic sporting moments” along with my other favourites including British and Irish Lions 2021, Europe in the Ryder Cup 2021, and all things MUFC 2021)…

Navigating adversity
Several months ago, I committed to writing a blog on the 1st of each month. As with many things this year, it hasn’t quite materialised as planned.

The serene & civil service
Over the past 6 months or so, the world has been turned upside down – however that isn’t for me to rabble on about! I wanted to talk about how Covid-19 might change the way the civil service operates.

Tight calls
How do you know if the decisions you take as the leader of an organisation are right? Are you judged on top line growth? Bottom line? Cash flow? Mental well-being of colleagues? Contentment of clients and candidates?

A night on the town?
As we enter July, the 7th month of the longest year recorded, you might be gearing up for a night in a pub and or restaurant on Saturday night.

It’s time to be kind
We have currently found ourselves in circumstances that are affecting us all, and for many (if not all!) of us negatively. With this week being Mental Health Awareness Week, it seems like the perfect time to reflect on not only our well-being but the mental health of those around us.

May the force be with us?
Does anyone else feel like they coined the phrase ‘new normal’? With April 2020 finally over, I’m interested in the ‘next normal’.
