75% of mothers and 92% of fathers were employed in 2021 in the UK, according to the Office for National Statistics.

This is a huge proportion of the UK workforce, so it’s highly likely that you’re employing parents right now, or will do in the future. For this reason and because of changing attitudes towards work-life balance, it’s important for you as an employer to understand the needs parents have and your responsibilities. Not only to create a supportive and family-friendly workplace but also to ensure that you maximise their productivity and the value working parents add to your business.

I’ve created a guide that will provide you with an overview of everything you need to know about employing parents in the UK, including their rights and entitlements, the benefits of a family-friendly workplace, and tips on how to create a supportive work environment.

It includes:

● What it means to be a working parent
● The benefits they can bring to a business
● Employment law considerations
● Different types of parental leave you need to be aware of
● Parental benefits your employees may be entitled to
● The changes your business can make to help parents get back to work

Its forecast to be hot this week in the UK so here are some simple tips to look after your people

☀️ Remind your teams to keep hydrated. Many of us don’t drink the recommended 2 litres a day on a normal day, but its even more important as the temperature rises. Dehydration can cause headaches, poor concentration and make people irritable making conflicts easier to occur.

☀️ Keep workplaces cool where possible with fans and AC.

☀️ Consider those who have medical concerns or employees who are pregnant. Have a conversation and make any reasonable adjustments which are needed for that person.

☀️ Consider the relaxing the dress code where appropriate. Be clear in your communication as to what is acceptable and appropriate for your business.

☀️ If your people are out in the sun, do they need extra breaks?

🍦And let’s bring some fun into the workplace and as a one off, treat everyone to an ice cream, your teams will love it.

Great leadership can help keep employees engaged, motivated, and happy. The result of this is that they are more successful, productive, and your business is more profitable.

But poor leadership has the opposite effect, which can mean your business loses money, has a high turnover of staff, and even gains a bad reputation.

Do you spot poor leadership in your business. What does this mean for you?

Do your Managers need to be equipped with the correct tools to help develop them as leaders.

Who else sets intentions and does it make a difference to your week?

How do you let an employee know they're doing a good job? Does having an appraisal system sound like hard work? Well then don't bother, yep you heard just don't bother!
......but also don't moan when people just get on with it and deliver stuff you don't want or need.

Take Rex here, he knows he's a dog but his owner really, really wants him to be a reindeer. They didn't agree he would become a reindeer, its not in his job description, no one told him he would have to manage a whole load of other reindeer. Just LOOK at how happy he is about it!

Yes I know he's a dog! Got you to read the post though didn't it?

We were only talking about this yesterday, and then in popped Harvard with this great article so we thought we'd share😃

Micromanaging means being overly prescriptive on tasks and follow ups with your team members — to the point of taking learning opportunities away from them. This behavior can be especially hard for new managers to avoid, as they may feel pressure prove themselves to their direct reports and boss. ...
