The HR Director

1. Why Project Management Training Deserves a Seat at the L&D Table

   With organisations under increasing pressure to deliver complex change programmes on time and within budget, investing in structured project management capability is no longer optional — it’s a strategic imperative for HR leaders.

2. Why salary sacrifice pensions should be on your radar in 2026

   With upcoming National Insurance changes in 2029, some employers may be cautious of adopting this contribution method. However, waiting to act could mean missing out on immediate financial benefits that are available right now.

3. Stability is the new currency of work in the age of AI

   Employees in the UK are choosing consistency over career movement, marking a workforce reset as we navigate the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. Gifted with staff confidence and optimism, HR leaders need to respond with clarity, skills growth, and human oversight as AI reshapes daily work.

4. The rise of the anti-social workplace – and what to do about it

   Generation Z, the first ‘digital native’ generation, don’t like talking on the phone, working with people they don’t know, or having to make small talk.

5. What kind of incentives could slow the spring exodus?

   Whether or not you are a believer in Blue Monday, there’s no doubt that we’re in a time of year when employees are often at their most disgruntled. The days are short, holidays are behind us, light is limited and the impetus for change that comes with the start of a new year drives many people to feel that a new job might be a good place to start. Unsurprisingly, resignation rates for office workers frequently increase in the first quarter of the year.
