It was all a bit wild Jen but thankfully other than a fence down, we came off ok. Lots of people have so much damage done ๐Ÿ˜ข

My next book Making Hybrid Working Work is out on 3 January (pre-order from the link in the comments). Its a manifesto on how to help your organisation to thrive in the new world of work.

See what Michelle Parry-Slater had to say when she kindly reviewed a copy for me.

No. Zach didnโ€™t get a phone or a tele in his room until big school. And we had all the controls. Theyโ€™ll experience big life too soon and Iโ€™m for holding on to a wee bit of innocence as long as you can ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Paul I did the same this morning and it was toasty. Lovely morning here in Norn Ireland. You have a great day

Etymology of the day: to be โ€˜blowing a hoolieโ€™ (or โ€˜hooleyโ€™) was probably inspired by the Orkney word โ€˜hoolanโ€™, a howling gale, with a touch of the โ€˜hooleyโ€™ that is a very noisy party thrown in.

Itโ€™s Thursday, and from Jan 2025, that means the #HRHour returns!

A very warm welcome to the new people who have recently joined our growing community.

The more of us we have, the broader our views, knowledge and support evolves.

Marc Weedon on LinkedIn: #hr #hybridwork Great turnout for our last International HR Forum workshop on the future of hybrid working, hosted by Clare Bridger from Incendium Consulting. It kicked offโ€ฆ

As companies continue to grapple with remote first, office first, hybrid, etc. what are the considerations for leaders?

Hereโ€™s a little something I pulled together after the last International HR Forum get-together.

Oh no. Had it a couple of years ago. After rest, some exercises do help ( Google them ) and weirdly walking it off on flat ground. Epsom salt warm baths too. And Udder Mint. Hope it passes soon
