Scratching the one-year itch
Compared to an era where the best sort of career path involved getting a job for life, employees getting the ‘one-year’ itch at work seems unfathomable. However, these are the findings of a new survey from the Institute of Leadership and Management, which reveals that 58% of new starters don’t anticipate staying at their company […]
Read More →Older workers say no to retirement
Much of the focus of coverage since the country voted to leave the European Union has been on the age divide – on the fact that many disillusioned older voters felt their views would be better represented by a ‘sovereign UK’ than (in their words) a ‘bunch of bureaucrats’ in Brussels. Whatever side they took […]

With the polls edging ever closer by the day, it’s hardly surprising that multinational companies in London are wary about bringing new senior executives into the UK from outside the EU.

Family members, favours called in, work experience with a well-placed uncle – all help the young and ambitious to climb the greasy pole. A CV-Library poll reveals that almost two-thirds of UK […]

Back in that prehistoric time known as the 20th century, the people in favour of the influence of technology on industrialisation made bold predictions that we’d be able to work three-day weeks and have bundles more leisure time because machines would help us do everything quicker. Yet here we are, in 2016, with almost a […]
