October 3, 2018 by Katy Lawn Leave a Comment

Baker Stuart’s Insight: The TINYpulse employee engagement report 2017 has some fascinating insights on workplace trends.

New research suggests that the confidence gap between men and women is a myth

September 27, 2018 by Katy Lawn Leave a Comment

Baker Stuart’s Insight: New research shows that although high-performing men and women rated themselves as equally confident in the workplace, their reasons for gaining influence in the company showed a sharp gender disparity.

Working while on holiday is the new normal, claims study

August 30, 2018 by Katy Lawn Leave a Comment

Baker Stuart’s Insight: The number of people working whilst on holiday is high – though perhaps not much higher than you’d expect in our always-on work culture.

August 22, 2018 by Katy Lawn Leave a Comment

Baker Stuart’s Insight: With ever-more diverse workforces being crucial to the success of corporations, TalentCulture answers the question of how to create a truly inclusive organisation.
