Since it's Valentine's Day and more people are returning to offices everywhere, let's talk about the last time you were reminded of your company's office romance policy. Now might be a good time........ #happyvalentinesday #humanresources #policiesandprocedures

A few months ago I posted about our 'Roadworker of the Week' series, a small idea that has grown legs, with continually positive sentiment from the public. We've now delivered over 25 posts, and we're seeing some amazing things happening - Roadworkers who see the posts are nominating themselves to showcase the work they do within the industry - People are nominating roadworkers they know, or have met - People are seeing our roadworker of the week, and sharing a story to prove how worthy they are of the title (like the below, an additional story we posted yesterday) - Unprompted, people are telling our staff they love these posts - Our teams are starting to plan a road worker of the week to tie in with other campaigns, or project milestones Humanising these amazing people shows everyone that roadworkers are a crucial part of society, not just mobile road cones. And just maybe, we can create a bit of behaviour change as well. Looking forward to the next 25 Roadworkers of the Week, and beyond.

I'm back from holiday, I checked my work phone once (no one's perfect!). Spoiler alert, I still thought about work a lot, and that'll never stop. Aside from the #MentalHealth benefits, when I'm not in the day-to-day, fire-fighting, I see things more clearly that might be obvious with a fresh set of eyes. For context, I've come back to 346 emails. It's hard zooming out to look at the bigger picture with that volume of information overload. Fortunately for Stowe's candidates, we'll go all in on #CandidateExperience. How else do you show candidates what working at Stowe Family Law LLP is like? Is your candidate experience aligned with your company values? Unfortunately for Charlie, Lauren, and Mark, that means I've come back with a heap of ideas, fixes, and improvements. Photo for attention, top marks to anyone who can correctly identify where this is?

I'm once again shamelessly reaching into the jaws of The Recruiter Life and running away with one of their posts. Sick leave is often a touchy subject. Some are fearful of taking it due to a management crackdown, whilst others think it's okay to call in sick after a heavy weekend. Whilst both have very different motives, neither is a sign of a healthy relationship with a workplace. If you find yourself in that situation, whether it's due to burnout, stress, or even boredom, it's likely time for a change. Drop me a message if it's time to make the right career choice for you. #careergrowth #jobforyou #job #leave #jobsearch

It's time we redefine workplace culture!🌟 Instead of relying on outdated and often misleading analogies, let's focus on creating environments where employees feel truly valued and supported. The new standard should be genuine respect, professional growth, and a healthy work-life balance. 💼 #WorkCulture #EmployeeWellbeing #Leadership

We each perceive the world through the unique lens of our experiences. This truth struck me anew as I walked the streets of New York City this past Labor Day weekend. Amid the bustling city, I encountered a replica of the iconic photograph "Lunch atop a Skyscraper," which was being used to promote an attraction called "The Beam" experience. The promotional message, "Follow in their Fearless Footsteps," was meant to entice visitors to buy tickets. I paused to capture a photo of the scene, but found myself taking several more as I wrestled with my feelings about it—especially on Labor Day, a day dedicated to honoring and protecting workers. My perspective is naturally shaped by my concern for safety, a mindset that colors how I view the world. 🤔 The idea of promoting a “ride” that simulates the life-threatening risks workers once faced on the job seems unsettling to me. 🤔 Equally troubling is the notion of celebrating the act of hanging from a beam without fall protection as a form of bravery. Yet, at the same time, perhaps there is something to be said about how far we’ve come as a society if these once-perilous working conditions are now the subject of an exhibition. Is this situation ironic or appropriate? How do you see it through your lens? I’m eager to hear your thoughts. Feel free to share in the comments! #safetystateofmind #labourday #laborday #steelworkersunion #rockafellercenter #newyork #fallprotection #workersrights
