Need to ask for a raise, know you deserve it, and that it is the right time?
Check out how to do it assertively. 😉

📌 When asking for a raise, it is essential to plan and present a solid argument based on your achievements and contributions to the company.
📌 Prepare for the conversation by highlighting your results and goals achieved, researching the average salary for your position, and preparing a realistic proposal.
📌 Be clear and objective, showing your value and justifying why you deserve a raise.
📌 Be open to negotiation and willing to discuss other forms of recognition, such as additional benefits or opportunities in new positions and sectors.
💬 And you, have you ever asked for a raise? How did it go? 👇

Your biggest competitive advantage isn't AI. It's your people, and how well they continue to learn.

The workplace is evolving at an incredible pace. AI, new technologies, changing employment legislation and shifting customer expectations are transforming the way we work.

The question is: Is your business keeping up?

One of the biggest mistakes SMEs make is viewing training as an expense rather than an investment. The cost of not developing your people is often much higher: lower productivity, skills gaps, reduced engagement and increased staff turnover.

The good news? Creating a learning culture doesn't require a huge budget.

Regular training, mentoring, knowledge-sharing, performance reviews and protected learning time can have a lasting impact on your team's confidence, capability and performance.

And don't forget that this applies to leaders too. Staying up to date with HR best practice, employment law, leadership and AI helps you make better decisions and prepare your business for the future.

In my latest article, I explore why continuous learning is no longer optional and share practical ways SMEs can build a culture of development without breaking the bank.

At Unique People Consult, we partner with SMEs to strengthen their businesses through tailored HR support, management training, performance management, recruitment and career development.

If you're ready to invest in your people and future-proof your business, let's talk.

📩 Get in touch to discover how we can help your business develop, retain and empower its greatest asset — its people.

📚 National Book Lovers Day 📚

Every year I choose one book to celebrate this day.

I grew up in a house surrounded by books. My mom had a small library with volumes in Greek, German, English and even in hieroglyphs - she was a history teacher fascinated by Egyptian history, and she was a book worm.

My house nowadays has so many books we actually have no space for them, not only because we love books, but because my husband is a book lover, a writer and a publisher, so we have new issues coming in every month.

Some of you know this wasn't his first career and he made the switch when he (finally) published his first book in 2017. I was super proud of his dedication during the process as I could witness the characters coming to life, and for him to fulfil his long overdue dream.

He presented me with the first edition. All 800 pages of it. I am the only one to have ever read the story in it's fullest.

Sun Door (Porta do Sol) narrates the story of Nathan, a man who is fighting to survive from one day to the other, when he discovers he may possess the ability to influence the choices that shape our destiny, and a chance for a better life in Europe is offered to him.

Yes, some of it was based on our own experience and adventure of leaving everything behind and starting over in a new continent, and that is part of what makes me elect it one of my favourite reads of all times.

Insterested in finding out more? In understanding who really controls the reins of our lives?

LinkedIn just rolled out a few updates you need to know about 👇

𝟭. "𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝗽" 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗴
Tired of cookie-cutter "leadership" posts? You can now flag content that feels overly automated or generic. It's a private signal to LinkedIn (not a public label), and it's feeding a system that's already catching hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts daily. The "Enhance your post" AI rewrite tool is also getting replaced by a proofreading tool that fixes grammar without flattening your voice.

𝟮. "𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽" 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲
A new profile section lets you showcase the AI tools you actually use — Replit, Duolingo, HubSpot, JetBrains IDEs, and dozens more — as a way to prove real-world fluency with AI, not just claim it in your bio.

𝟯. "𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆" 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 "𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆"
Same one-click application flow, new name — meant to signal a renewed focus on quality applications over volume.

Bottom line: LinkedIn is nudging the platform toward authenticity — flagging low-effort AI content, rewarding demonstrated (not just claimed) AI skills, and reframing "easy" applying as "quality" applying.

When was the last time you truly switched off from work?

For many people, taking annual leave feels like a luxury. We postpone it until "things calm down", check emails while we're away, or even return to work feeling as exhausted as when we left.
But here's the truth: holidays aren't a reward for working hard, they're part of working well.

Research consistently shows that taking time away from work helps to:
🌿 Reduce stress and lower the risk of burnout.
🧠 Improve mental clarity, creativity and decision-making.
❤️ Support both physical and mental wellbeing.
🚀 Increase engagement, productivity and job satisfaction when we return.

For employers, encouraging employees to use their annual leave isn't simply about complying with employment law. It's about building a healthier, more resilient workplace where people can perform at their best, not just today, but for the long term.

For employees, remember this:
Taking a break doesn't mean you're less committed. It means you're investing in your health, your performance and your future.

As HR professionals and business leaders, we have a responsibility to create cultures where people feel comfortable disconnecting, recharging and returning with renewed energy.

This summer, if you have annual leave planned, make the most of it:
📵 Switch off your notifications.
👨‍👩‍👧 Spend time with the people who matter.
🌍 Explore somewhere new — or simply enjoy doing nothing.
💙 Give yourself permission to rest.

Because the best version of you at work starts with taking care of the person behind the job title.
How do you recharge during your holidays? I'd love to hear your favourite way to switch off.

We're overflowing with gratitude — for our clients who trusted us, our team who gave their best, and our partners who stood by us.

They promised you a pay rise… but it never happened. What now?

This situation is more common than many organisations would like to admit.

An employee steps up, takes on more responsibility, delivers beyond expectations… and waits for recognition that was discussed but never materialised.

The issue is no longer just about money.
It becomes a question of trust, recognition, and whether expectations are truly aligned with reality.

So how should this conversation happen?
❌ It is not about walking into a meeting saying: “You owe me a raise.”
✅ It is about having a professional conversation based on facts.

A few key points:
🔹 Revisit the context: When was the pay rise discussed, and what was it linked to?
🔹 Show your impact: Highlight results, increased responsibilities, and the value you have created.
🔹 Ask for clarity: “Can you help me understand where things currently stand?”
🔹 Agree on next steps: What needs to happen, and what is the realistic timeline?

Because a vague promise can quickly become a source of frustration.

For businesses, there is an important lesson here: when employees consistently deliver more but feel commitments are not being honoured, the impact goes beyond compensation. It can affect motivation, retention, engagement, and trust in leadership.

For professionals: advocating for your value is not creating conflict. It is having a mature conversation about growth, contribution, and recognition.
Strong workplaces are built through clear communication, aligned expectations, and accountability on both sides.

💬 Have you ever experienced a situation where a promised recognition or reward took too long — or never happened?

The one where there was no contract 🤹🏻‍♂️

A few years ago, I was at a networking event when someone introduced me as an HR Consultant.

The business owner immediately said, "Oh, I definitely need to talk to you!"

Let's be honest—no one gets that excited about HR unless something has already gone wrong.

She owned a restaurant and had recently dismissed an employee who had gone off sick due to mental health reasons. A few weeks later, the former employee (whose sibling worked in employment law) requested payment for accrued holiday.

My first question was simple:

"What does the employment contract say?"

Silence.

There wasn't one.

No contract. No record of working hours. No documented start date. No sickness records. No confirmation of the termination date.

The employee was entitled to holiday pay—that wasn't the issue.

The problem was that the employer had no evidence of what had happened during the employment. If the case had escalated, defending it would have been incredibly difficult.

Thankfully, we managed to resolve everything before it became a much bigger issue.

But here's what surprised me most...

Even after seeing the risks firsthand, she still didn't want to introduce employment contracts for the rest of her team.

Employment contracts aren't just paperwork. They protect both employers and employees, set clear expectations, reduce misunderstandings, and provide vital evidence when issues arise.

For SMEs, they're one of the simplest investments you can make to reduce risk.

Sadly, that restaurant has since closed. I don't know why, and I can't say whether employment issues played any part.

What I do know is this: many small businesses don't struggle because they lack passion. They struggle because they overlook the foundations that protect everything they've worked so hard to build.

Don't wait until there's a problem to put those foundations in place.

We finished the first 200 days of the year with a bang, a sense of accomplishment.

These past few weeks, particularly, I have been involved in amazing projects that supported both students with their career decisions and women in creating a life in an environment different from the one they came from.

I have delivered 5 workshops for over 250 students, especially in Year 10, attended mock interview days for 30+ youngsters and gave 1-2-1 careers coaching to close to 200 girls in North London.

This morning I had an interesting conversation with one of my peers exactly about how we can increase our support to our communities and especially how rewarding it is.

Looking forward to the remaining 165 days ☀️
