Leading HR in a roundabout kind of way.
The Five Ways to Wellbeing- Connect
A happy, healthy workforce is imperative for the success of any organisation.

Building better work – the IKEA Effect
Most us will have experience of self-assembling something. You can buy ‘flat pack’ kits to build almost anything, ranging from houses and cars to bookshelves and desks. For some it can be a joy, for others (myself included) it can sometimes be a bit of a struggle.

Ultimately, we value what we build.
