null People-focused digital

As usual the national Digital Leaders conference in London last week was a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and new, listen to and learn from some first rate speakers and consider some good food for thought. One of the activities during the day was an interactive, dynamic word cloud that encouraged everyone to feed in one word in answer to a question about the key themes of the... See more

null 7 pearls of wisdom

I will make my apologies now that none of this blog is my own material. However I make no apology for sharing it – as I hope it will be useful for others. In fact, I'm grateful to the hugely inspiring Richard Reed, Co-founder of Innocent Drinks, who delivered an enormously enjoyable, humble and wise speech at the InnovateUK conference yesterday, and from whom all of the following pearls of...

null What can we learn from Gordon Ramsay about employee engagement?

Gordon Ramsay’s reputation in the kitchen is that of a tyrant, someone who shouts, swears and is generally pretty unpleasant to his staff. Not necessarily conducive to good employee engagement you might think. Well, indeed, I would not advocate all the shouting and swearing, but I’ll say one thing for him; he at least says it how it is. No messing about, no lack of clarity, complete... See more

null Whose responsibility is employee communication anyway?

Today I stumbled across an interesting discussion on Twitter: #nzlead. Turns out it’s a tweet chat that happens every week on a Thursday, originating in New Zealand, but generating responses internationally. (Worth a look if you’ve an interest in HR, internal communications or organisational development and are ever available at 8am on a Thursday – or check their website for write-ups.)... See more

null Sing while you work

Did anyone catch that fabulous programme on BBC2 a couple of months ago – The Choir? I’m sure many of you will have heard of Gareth Malone and his work with the Military Wives choir. Well, his most recent programme covered workplace choirs – basically gathering together a bunch of people who could sing in a range of well known organisations and turning them into amazing and very...

null Time flies when you're inspired

It’s that time of year again when we start looking for new contestants and hosts for the Local Government Challenge competition. It seems to come around so quickly – it feels like only yesterday that I was making phone calls and rushing off emails to ensure that everything was in place for the first challenge of the year in Birmingham.

null From bonsai trees to biscuits – how do we create healthy organisations?

It’s a good question and one that was addressed by key private sector business leaders Brian Dive, Managing Director of DMA Consultancy and Anthony Thomson, Chairman of Metro Bank this morning. The session, chaired by Chris Johnson, UK Human Capital Leader at Mercer, aimed to draw parallels between the work of councils and some of the UK’s largest companies in reducing workforce costs...
