A bit of fresh air to get away from the screen. ☀️

In the last week I have had a lot of questions around UK bank holiday entitlements for part time employees. This link may help, but feel free to contact me and ask if you are looking for any additional clarity!

Most of the UK has eight permanent bank holidays per year. But how much do you as an employer know about the law concerning bank holidays?

A client told me a couple of weeks ago that she needed to ‘eat the frog.’ 🐸 A little concerned about how her day was about to start, she reassured me as to what she meant and in turn I learnt something which I now use every day!

I am particularly good at procrastinating the biggest jobs which I think will likely be the hardest, so now I tell myself I am going to ‘eat the frog’ most mornings! It works for me! Give it a go! 🐸

Today we discussed the importance of taking time for ourselves. So, that’s exactly what I did. Moved away from the screen and outside into the fresh air. Definitely worth it 😀

Interesting debate. A poll I heard this morning still suggests 66% of people believe babies have no place in Commons. Does the culture need challenging or is there no place for babies in Commons… ?🤔

It’s and I would like to thank my friend Bronwen Gray for encouraging me to start open water swimming. It was cold and grey in December but she encouraged us and I am now hooked!The last 12+ months has been tough for us all and I truly believe that without the call of the water I would be in a very different mental frame of mind right now. The smile in the photo says it all 😃 Find what works for you and take , it is so important for us all.

I strongly support the campaign to make the request for a day-one right! 46% of employees in Britain currently don't work flexibly.
Many people returning to work after a period of time off will benefit greatly from the ability to request flexible working from day 1, why should they be disadvantaged by having to wait until week 26 of employment?
Join the campaign. http://bit.ly/F13xFr0m1st

Making flexible working the ‘norm’ and not a ‘benefit’ will help companies attract some of the best untapped talent. This has been a long time coming for some companies. Do you encourage job sharing, flexible working hours and will you maintain home working options post pandemic?

Liz Truss urges employers to boost flexible working as research finds significant uplift in applications for roles that advertise it.
