Over recent months we have heard a lot about the levels of productivity in the UK, but our regular blog from The Stress Management Society asks if more productivity is really a good thing?

The HR Headmistress Kate Russell returns to assess whether HR considers social media an opportunity or a threat, plus our branding expert Paul Hitchens shares his take-aways from our Employee Engagement Summit in London last week.

We announce a new speaker for our [email protected] conference in June, plus highlight how you could win a FREE place to ProGlobal 2015, the UK’s leading expatriate and global mobility forum, in July.

Happy HR reading to you all. 

James Marsh
Head of HR Consulting, Symposium
