How Can HR Leverage Tech to Support Every Employee?
In today’s fast-paced and technology-driven world, organisations are recognising that the right tools make all the difference to productivity. This is particularly true when it comes to supporting employees with disabilities, where assistive technology (AT) has become one of the most powerful enablers of performance, retention, and business growth. While discussions around disability employment have […]
Mental Health Stigma in the Workplace: Are We Really Making Progress?
Workplace mental health has changed dramatically over the past few years. What was once a quiet, uncomfortable topic has now become a regular part of leadership discussions and employee wellbeing strategies. Yet, despite progress, a key question remains: are we truly making progress in how mental health is treated at work? In recent years, there […]
What We’re Reading: Qualified by Shari Dunn
October is Black History Month in the UK, and this has helped to inspire our reading material this month. Despite huge strides forwards in representation in the workplace, there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure that diverse voices are being heard at the very top. That’s why this month we […]
Wellbeing Fatigue: When Employees Stop Engaging with Support
Recently, I have noticed something surprising – employees are increasingly tuning out once-vibrant wellbeing programs. In many modern programs, well-being is delivered as one-size-fits-all. Yet research shows the future lies in choice and agency – tools that allow employees to tailor their journey and choose what matters most to their lives. Embedding pulse surveys and […]
Gen Z Is Dreaming…And Employers Should Listen
Generation Z is no longer ‘the future’ of work – they are here, reshaping workplaces right now. Born between the late-1990s and 2010s, Gen Z already makes up a growing slice of the global workforce and is projected to account for almost a third of US employees by 2030. For employers, this isn’t a challenge […]
Interviewing Inclusively: How to Ensure Deaf Candidates Feel Valued
Hiring today is more competitive than ever, and employers are under pressure to stand out – not just to customers, but to candidates too. One powerful way to do that is by ensuring every applicant feels respected and supported throughout the hiring process. That’s especially true for Deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) candidates, who bring valuable […]
How to Conduct a Pay Equity Audit (Without the Headache)
Each year, Equal Pay Day reminds us that fair compensation remains an urgent and unfinished priority. For employers, ensuring pay equity isn’t just about meeting legal requirements – it’s about building trust, improving retention, and reinforcing a company’s values. And one of the most effective tools for doing this is a pay equity audit. But […]
Digital Surveillance or Smart Workflows? Employee Tech in a Post-Trust World
Imagine this: you are an employee logging into work on a Monday morning. Within minutes, your activity is tracked – keystrokes monitored, screen time logged, webcam blinking occasionally. You haven’t done anything wrong, but the feeling is unmistakable: you are being watched. Now imagine a different Monday. Your workflow app reminds you to take a […]
Unlocking the Hidden Power of Multilingual Talent
A recent study discovered a surprising fact: despite an influx of bilingual and multilingual talent – particularly among Gen Z – only 14% use their language skills at work. That means a wealth of linguistic capability sits idle across teams, ready to be activated. So rather than viewing this as a skills gap, employers can […]
“Hey Siri, Find Me Another Job”: Is Workplace Technology Too Slow for Generation Alpha?
Today’s young people are growing up in a world where interacting with artificial intelligence (AI) is second nature. Siri answers homework questions, Alexa plays music, and ChatGPT helps draft essays. Yet, many employees still navigate clunky legacy systems, outdated intranets, and multi-step approval processes that feel like digital relics. It’s no wonder younger generations may […]
Is Spain’s Leap to a 37.5 Hour Workweek a Game Changer for Work-Life Balance?
Spain has taken a bold step in reshaping the modern workweek. In May 2025, the Spanish government approved a bill to reduce the standard full-time workweek from 40 to 37.5 hours – without cutting pay. While it still requires parliamentary approval, this reform is expected to impact over 12 million private-sector workers and signals a […]
How Can Employers Coach Resilience After a Missed Promotion?
The excitement of a promotion is palpable – the celebrations, the recognition, the doors they open. But there’s another, quieter side of the story that plays out behind closed doors: the moment when a capable, hardworking employee goes for a promotion… and doesn’t land it. It’s a tough blow. Disappointment, frustration, and even self-doubt can […]
