null Pub quiz rules

Last night I took part in a pub quiz with a number of colleagues. Apart from a lot of fun and hilarity, I learnt that the game subbuteo gets its name from a bird 'subbuteo falco' (bird of prey) and that items that used to be called  Hanways are actually umbrellas. Amidst all of this fun and games and while waiting for the 80s music round (which never materialised unfortunately -... See more

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 Involving and evolving

I had the pleasure of attending a very interesting Melcrum member event last week, which aimed to explore how delegates could maximise the strategic impact of their internal communications with limited resource. For me the main themes of the day centred on two words: Involving – engaging staff with the business so they are motivated to go the extra mile and in turn become more productive.... See more

null Democracy Download

  I must admit that for the last few years I’ve not heard much noise about Local Democracy Week and I wondered if it took place any more, but it seems it is alive and kicking! Local Democracy Week is fast approaching next week (15-21 October). In fact, it is actually a week of citizen participation right across Europe, as it is European Local Democracy Week.  A quick search on... See more

null Connecting with communities through conversations

Did you know...? More than two thirds of online adults are connected to one or more social media platforms. Half of Facebook’s 30 million UK users log on every day. 70 per cent of businesses ignore complaints made via Twitter. However 83 per cent of people who received a response to a complaint via Twitter were positive about that response.       ... See more
