What does a leader look like today?
What does it take to be a leader in business? What are those innate skills or core traits required by successful leaders in the workplace? And by “leaders” we don’t just mean those in the boardroom or c-suite, but rather any employee who is in a position where they inspire and motivate others.
Is the timing right for a culture refresh or reset?
In the history of ‘work’ has there ever been such a swift and tremendous change to the workplace than what we have experienced over the past two years, as a result of the global pandemic? If organisational culture is defined as “the way things are done around here” where does that leave our shared attitudes, beliefs and customs in the face of so much disruption...
Why you need a Chief Wellness Officer
The workplace is constantly changing and if the past two years has taught us anything then it’s the knowledge that our ability to keep pace with change will be fundamental to our success.

Employee retention is a fundamental component of organisational success. If you’re doing it right, what you should be aiming for is high engagement and high retention – your employees care about their work and the organisation, and you’re doing your best to keep them in the business.

Why your senior leaders are thinking about quitting and when they’ll do it
Staff attrition is costly – at senior leader level, for each employee lost, the cost to the company could be 50%–250% of his/her annual salary. Continued border closures, talent scarcity and an active labour market are intensifying employer efforts to retain their senior leaders. So why are your people thinking about quitting and when will it happen?
