  • As the skills gap continues to widen, we must look to the older generation – and gender disparity – to close it

    September 23, 2015

    According to the Office for National Statistics, the unemployment rate is 5.5 per cent and for the period June to August 2015 there were 740,000 job vacancies. The amount of job vacancies out there is almost at the highest on record.   You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see from these figures that [...]

  • As the skills gap continues to widen who’s going to help narrow it?

  • Flexible working may be on the up but we’re not there yet

    September 16, 2015

    It’s great that more men and women in the City are working flexibly.  But could more work be done flexibly? Employers who are still blocking flexible working requests are missing a trick or two. Since June 2014 all employees with at least 26 weeks’ employment can make flexible working requests under a specific procedure. Employers [...]

  • British Airways’ Gatwick pay cuts: Has BA’s restructuring appeared from thin air?

    September 8, 2015

    It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book. Would you like to take a lower-paid role or face the exit? British Airways is waving the magic wand and a number of senior cabin crew are under its spell. Hundreds of senior cabin crew at Gatwick are faced with taking big pay cuts or being let go. BA [...]

  • Back to work: Pause before doing away with your annual appraisals

    September 4, 2015

    As the new term kicks off one rather large organisation, Accenture, won’t be carrying out any more annual appraisals. Managers and junior employees alike must have extra springs in their steps as they, gleefully, head through the revolving doors and into work. The case against is strong. The annual appraisal system is time-consuming, regimented (often [...]

  • Why your expense account could turn into a career-killer

    November 16, 2014

    Don’t jeopardise your position by splurging on that plush hotel room.   How tempting is it to claim on expenses for that extra round of champagne cocktails? Or what about expensing an extra night at the Shalimar after that, oh so tedious, conference? Or even booking a cab on the company account without approval?    [...]

  • How private are my emails? Not as private as you think

    October 19, 2014

    Employers must respect the privacy of employees’ communications, but there are exceptions.   You may think that private emails from private accounts, and private messages from private social media accounts, are just that – private. You may also think that your employer cannot discipline you for their contents. You may be wrong.    The European Convention [...]

  • What you can do if you’re being restructured out

    August 3, 2014

    It can be a fair reason to be shown the door, explains Matt Gingell, so know your rights.   It's all in the news. Microsoft is set to cut 18,000 jobs in a restructuring programme. The BBC is axing 415 news jobs. Mothercare’s boss Mark Newton-Jones, meanwhile, has warned that the retailer must modernise and [...]
