Are You Remotely Happy? 3 ways to engage remote workers in workplace wellbeing initiatives

February 14, 2019 by Katy Lawn Leave a Comment

A happy workplace makes a happy worker.

All Present – but Correct? A new White Paper on Presenteeism

July 28, 2016 by Colin Stuart Leave a Comment

Presenteeism - Photopro1/Bigstock

Companies sink or swim based on their leaders, and good leadership in a company can be felt throughout the entire organisation. With the cost of losing an employee often being in excess of the annual salary of that worker, losing employees is a cost that organisations can scarcely afford. In contrast to this, the result of a good […]

May 18, 2016 by Colin Stuart 1 Comment

White Paper Office Noise

Staff Attrition Photopro Bigstock1

Whether a company sells, invents or builds, all businesses share one universal similarity: an organisation can’t move forward without people.

In 1930, John Maynard Keynes wrote an essay titled “Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren”. In this work, Keynes forecasted that in one hundred years hence, we would be working a 15-hour week. Yet today, nearly a century on, we revel in material opulence unimagined by the likes of Keynes, but we still persist with work […]
