14/10/2026

If an employee tells you they’re struggling and that is all you do, you’ve missed the important part. What support did you actually put in place?

Good intentions aren’t a process. Watch the video for what a proper response looks like 👇

Q4 really said: “Let’s see how much this team can handle.” 😭☕

And suddenly, every deadline is urgent, everyone’s stretched, and taking a day off feels like a luxury.

Sound familiar?

Your team shouldn’t have to run themselves into the ground just to get through the end of the year. A successful quarter means little if everyone comes out of it completely exhausted.

Be honest… is your team prepared for Q4, or are you all just winging it? 👀

What you see: sick days 🧊

What you don’t see: presenteeism, staff turnover, managers losing hours to firefighting, reduced productivity and disengaged employees.

Poor mental health costs far more than the absence line suggests. World Mental Health Day was on Saturday, so here is the full picture.

“I’m sure I wrote it down somewhere.” 😭

Somewhere WHERE, please?

From undocumented warnings to assumptions about what an employee “already knew”, some workplace defences sound a lot less convincing when someone asks for the evidence.

Andrew has three examples that might feel a little too familiar. 👀

The rule? Document it while it’s happening — not when there’s a problem.

Save this as your Friday reminder. 📝

You remember what happened. But will you remember every detail five months later? 👀

That’s where good HR documentation matters.

With 6 months of tribunal exposure, “I’ll remember that” isn’t much of a process.

Chloe breaks down what to document and when so you’re not trying to piece everything together after the fact.

The harassment rules changed on 1 October ⚠️

Employers now have to show they took “all reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment. And there is a brand new duty covering harassment by clients, customers and contractors.

A policy in a drawer will not be enough.

Our latest guide breaks the new standard down into six practical steps, so you can see where your gaps are 👇

🚦 Green flag or red flag? 👀

“We’re like a family here.” 🚩
Actually documenting 1-to-1s. 🟢
Pizza instead of overtime pay. 🚩😂

Chloe is calling it like she sees it in this week’s Green Flag / Red Flag: Employer Edition.

Because a happy workplace isn’t just about the perks — it’s about how people are actually treated.
