Post Covid-19 will bring a fresh set of recruiting trends that will significantly impact your recruiting process. Are we ready to implement these changes? Post pandemic will change the way we recruit compared to just a few months before. We all know now markets are candidate-driven, which means you do not pick talent. Talent picks you. Finding and recruiting ideal job candidates, especially those with in-demand skills, has become extremely time-consuming and challenging. That is the main…

Complete productivity cannot be acquired if employers fail to understand the difference between crucial and menial operations. Smart work is important and much more useful than wasting days/weeks working on tedious tasks that can be simply automated.

In…

If we trawl back through the depths of history, we are able to lay our eyes on some pretty wealthy figures.

We aren’t talking mere millions here either. No, that would be considered pocket money to some of these folk.

Take Mansa Musa for example. King of the Mali empire, Musa lived between the years of 1280 and 1337. His wealth? Well, it can only be described as ‘indescribable’. Then we’ve got the likes of our modern-day monetary giants—the Scottish American industrialist,…

Therefore, a steep and sudden drop in site traffic ultimately affects the growth of the organization. There might be different possibilities for why your website traffic has been declining. …

Evidence of a gender imbalance in the UK construction industry should come as no surprise to anyone. Even though the misconception of men dominating the STEM subjects can be disproved through a quick Google search (female students outperform male students), the same articles suggest there are continual obstructions to women participating in subsequent industries.

A 2018 Deloitte Survey which analysed 10,455 millennials, born between 1983 and 1994, from 36 countries across the globe, found that 43 per cent of people didn’t plan to stay in their job beyond the two-year mark — the ‘job-hopping’ generation. Furthermore, only 28 per cent of the people included in the survey expected to stay in their job more than the recommended five years. This pattern of behaviour was shown to be stronger in 2019, when a millennial manager survey found that 75 per cent…

Back in 2015, representatives from nations all around the world met to sign an initiative that would help combat the damaging effects of climate change.

This very first globally collective effort in terms of reducing greenhouse emissions, to which 179 countries have formally agreed their commitment, focusses on limiting the rise in global temperature increases by two degrees above…

Most of us work in comfortable 9–5 office jobs where the biggest risk to our health is spilling hot coffee on our lap or getting a papercut. Although all jobs have their own sort of stress, there are some that can risk workers lives.

The International Labour Office (ILO) estimates that there are around 2.3 million workplace fatalities and 340 million injuries every year — that’s 6,300 deaths every day. Here, we take a look at the world’s most dangerous jobs in the UK.

Young people should be able to do anything they set their heart on, regardless of their gender. With that we’ve focused this article on gender equality in the workplace, and how we can debunk the tired stereotypes that have been holding us back.

Do we attach genders to jobs?

Often, people have been held back in certain fields due to unfair gender bias. Not only do we assign gender roles to people within our society, but we also stereotype jobs with these same set of arbitrary…

There’s never a wrong time to learn a new skill or trade. If you feel like you’re stuck in a job or career which isn’t right or you, change it. Many people can fall into a trap of thinking they must stick to their first choice which they made at school. It may be daunting to challenge this idea and change your career. Embarking on an adult apprenticeship may seem daunting and like a huge risk. You may have questions such as will it work out? Or, what if I’m not good enough and can’t find a…

Social media has been a world-changing phenomenon. Before Facebook’s founding in 2004 there was the likes of Bebo, Faceparty, and MySpace. However, the last 10 years have seen a huge spike in both users of social media and reasons for using it. In 2019, there were 3.486 billion active users on social media, equating to nearly half of the entire population having a social media presence. This was up by nine per cent since January 2018. But, with a lot of the world currently on lockdown due to…
