With so much political tension in the world, how do you support employees' well-being if they suffer political anxiety? Political anxiety—stress related to current events—can impact employee focus and productivity, potentially leading to conflicts in the workplace. To help, International SOS recommends that organisations: Identify and Assess Political Stress: Understand stressors affecting employees. Set Clear Guidelines: Define policies for workplace discussions to ensure professionalism. Foster Empathy: Promote a culture of respect and open dialogue. Provide Support Resources: Offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and hotlines. If you need further support or advice, we offer 30 minutes of free support; you can book directly through our website or DM me. https://lnkd.in/eE2_Dc5h #BSHR #HRConsultancy #PoliticalAnxiety #FreeSupport #Yorkshire

What are the top 7 considerations when selecting an HR consultancy partner? 1. Industry Experience: Does the consultancy have experience in your industry? Different sectors have unique HR needs. 2.

Reputation and References: Look for client testimonials or ask for case studies that highlight the consultancy's success with similar companies. 4. Customisation and Flexibility: Choose a consultancy that tailors solutions to your company's size, culture, and goals. 5. Legal and Regulatory Expertise: Ensure the consultancy stays updated on employment laws to keep your company compliant. 6. Technology and Tools: Does the HR consultancy offer HR software or tools to streamline processes like payroll, performance tracking, or onboarding? 7. Cost: Understand the pricing model and ensure it aligns with your budget, without compromising quality.

It's World Menopause Day tomorrow (18 October), and while it feels like everyone is now talking about menopause, it's still not being fully addressed in the workplace. 🌟 Key Findings on Menopause Support in UK Workplaces 🌟 👉 Over 1 in 10 (13%) employees are actively seeking new roles that provide better menopause support. 👉 Nearly one-third (27%) of individuals without access to menopause support at work have either left or considered leaving their job. These statistics highlight how menopause—and the lack of adequate support—are influencing career decisions, often at a time when women are at the height of their careers. This underscores the vital role menopause support plays in retaining female leaders in senior positions and addressing both the gender pay gap and pension gap. ❗We have a FREE Menopause Guide and Menopause Action Plan Template on our free content hub How To How (you will find it in the Support Section). 👉https://lnkd.in/dkkUF5P #BSHR #HRConsultancy #MenopauseSupport #EmployeeWellbeing #WorkplaceInclusion #GenderEquality #Yorkshire
