Car Free or Car Share?

Every year on or around 22 September, people from around the world get together in their businesses, streets and neighbourhoods to remind the world that, believe it or not, there are alternatives to the car! As the climate heats up, and with over one billion vehicles on the road around the globe, World Car Free Day is the perfect time to take the heat off the planet, and put the pressure on city and town planners and politicians to give priority to cycling, walking and public transport. Our very own…

Forget the beach body, is your business summer-ready?

Never mind being beach body ready (because let’s face it, mine isn’t and never will be), I’m focused on toning my wobbly business abs into six packs for the Summer ahead. Are you? Traditionally, summer can be a quiet time for businesses. But if you think like I do, then you certainly won’t see that as an opportunity for taking afternoons off with a 99 ice cream and a flake! In fact, I am sure you’re probably busy planning ahead for these sunny months, as you know how much that…

Can sport be bad for your business health?

Employees who take sick days during sports events will need careful monitoring this Summer, which features a perfect storm of the Champions League Final, the Football World Cup, Wimbledon, Tour de France, my annual village Rounders grudge match and the British Grand Prix to name but a few of the fabulous sporting line ups. We all know that sickness absences surge during and after big sporting events, so with many key matches scheduled during work hours, organisations would do well to get ahead of the game and forward plan this…

Three Little Reasons To Love HR

Let’s be brutally honest here… HR has something of a reputation for being the lesser sibling of the other ‘big hitting’ functions like Sales and Biz Dev!! It’s a burden that we’ve carried for years, and it’s one that refuses to budge in a lot of circles. But is there any substance behind it? Are we actually just a group of thundering bores who can bring nothing more to your business than bureaucracy and forms to fill in, and pointless policies that never see the light of day? Just what…
