👋 Start strong, welcome well and set them up for success. 🚀

A great first impression can make all the difference! Here’s our new starter checklist of things to send before their first day:

📋 Welcome email – Include key information about their first day, where to go and who to ask for.
📍 Practical details – Share parking, travel, dress code and what they need to bring.
👥 Meet the team – Let them know who they’ll be working with and who their main point of contact will be.
💻 First-day information – Confirm start time, location and any systems or equipment they’ll need access to.
📚 Policies & paperwork – Make sure they have access to the key documents and information they need before starting.
💬 Keep in touch – A quick message before they start can help ease those first-day nerves!

A little preparation goes a long way towards making a new employee feel welcome, valued and ready to get started. 🙌

📢 Important DBS Update for Organisations Working with Children 📢

From 1 September 2026, the supervision exemption for regulated activity with children has been removed.

This means some previously supervised staff and volunteers may now be considered to undertake regulated activity and could require an Enhanced DBS Check with a Children’s Barred List Check.

🔎 Who should review their arrangements?

o Schools, childcare and education providers
o Sports clubs and youth organisations
o Charities and community groups
o Outdoor activity providers
o Organisations working with children

What should you do?

1. Review roles where individuals regularly teach, train, instruct, care for or supervise children, particularly those previously exempt due to supervision.
2. Check the DBS on file included a Children's Barred List Check.
3. Apply for an Enhanced DBS Check with Children's Barred List information, where required.

If you’re unsure whether your roles or existing checks are affected, our HR team can help you understand what action may be needed.

With energy prices rising again, many businesses may be taking a closer look at their costs and considering where changes might need to be made.

From understanding your responsibilities to supporting you through the process, our HR experts can provide practical guidance every step of the way.

😤 Toxic workplace behaviour rarely fixes itself. 😤

And the latest research makes one thing clear: early HR support is one of the best ways to prevent toxicity from becoming a bigger workplace problem.

Only 6% of organisations say toxic behaviour improves permanently when challenged, while 45% see old behaviours return.

The lesson? Don’t wait for a grievance, formal complaint or serious breakdown in relationships.

Early HR involvement can help managers:

✅ Recognise concerning behaviour early
✅ Address issues confidently and consistently
✅ Set clear expectations
✅ Document concerns appropriately
✅ Prevent small issues from becoming bigger ones

Toxicity can be difficult to tackle - particularly when it looks like persistent negativity, passive-aggressive behaviour or undermining colleagues rather than obvious misconduct.

Prevention starts with early intervention.

The sooner managers have the right HR support, the better the chance of protecting your people, your culture and your business.

✋ How do you spend your lunch break? 🌿

It’s easy to spend our lunch breaks scrolling through social media. But constantly consuming content can leave us feeling more stressed, distracted or drained. 🪫

So, why not use your lunch break to do something that supports your wellbeing instead?

Here are a few simple ideas:
🚶 Take a walk or run outdoors
🧘‍♀️ Go swimming or take a yoga class
👋 Connect with other people - catch up with a colleague over lunch rather than online
🍴 Enjoy lunch away from the office for a change
📖 Read a book in the park or listen to an audio book
🛍 Treat yourself or a loved one at the shops

You don’t need to make big changes to support your mental health. Sometimes, a small break from the screen is all it takes.

What’s your favourite way to spend your lunch break?

🍂 Are you ready for a September reset? 🍂

With summer winding down and September just around the corner, now is a great time to pause, reset and get ready for the months ahead.

For businesses and HR teams, September can feel like a fresh start - new priorities, new starters, changing workloads and a renewed focus on people.

Why not use the end of August to get ahead?

✔️ Review your HR processes and policies
✔️ Check in with your people and understand how they’re feeling
✔️ Prepare for upcoming recruitment or onboarding
✔️ Review training and development needs
✔️ Make sure your team has the support they need for the months ahead
✔️ Communicate your Christmas leave request process

A little preparation now can make the transition into September feel much smoother.
