The HR Director

1. Corporate happy hour

   A pleasant way to unwind with colleagues after a stressful week or an example of organisations endorsing the use of alcohol as self medication.

2. Wellbeing Isn’t a Perk. It’s a Legal Duty.

   Too many organisations still treat employee wellbeing as a perk — but failing to manage mental health and stress at work carries serious legal and financial consequences. In this opinion piece, Mel Joseph argues that wellbeing must be part of compliance, not just culture, and explains why prevention and proof are now non-negotiable.

3. Harnessing the power of AI: Best practices for Workplace Implementation

   Strategic AI implementation is key to transforming business operations. Weston Morris of Unisys shares best practices for integrating AI into the workplace, emphasising careful planning, clear metrics, and robust training. Discover how AI can enhance accuracy, align with business goals, and drive long-term success in various sectors, including healthcare and finance.

4. How to turn age gaps into a competitive advantage

   The modern workforce is not just diverse but has become more complex than ever. For the first time in history, we have four distinct generations working side by side: Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. And while that might sound like a beautiful melting pot of experience and innovation, let’s be honest, it can also feel like going through a minefield. One generation craves stability, another thrives on flexibility.

5. Company culture is key to introducing non-traditional workplace benefits

   Employee wellbeing is becoming an increasingly important aspect of running a business. According to Mental Health UK’s Burnout Report 2025, over one in three (34%) adults reported experiencing high or extreme levels of pressure or stress ‘always’ or ‘often’ last year. This has undeniable consequences for workplace productivity.
