Unnecessary pregnancy loss policies go too far
In the last few weeks both Monzo and Channel 4 have announced new pregnancy loss policies offering employees paid leave following a miscarriage, abortion or stillbirth. The commentary in response to these very public announcements has been overwhelmingly positive; each lauded for their ‘progressive’ approaches. I’ll dissent. The question is simply this: why does any company need a pregnancy loss policy if they have a robust and sensible compassionate leave policy?

What are the limits of an employer's duty of care to employees?
April 26, 2021 by Helen Jamieson • Comment, Wellbeing Earlier this month the ONS (Office for National Statistics) released a rather dismal map of the UK charting our population’s soaring levels of loneliness. Perhaps surprisingly, it is young people and those living in urban areas reporting the highest levels of aloneness. It really does go to show that the ‘social’ in social media doesn’t mean very much, and that you can indeed be surrounded by others and still feel lonely.
Working from home spells trouble for the careers of younger workers
February 2, 2021 by Helen Jamieson • Comment, Flexible working Lockdown meant that the choice to work from home was made for us. However, for many the decision to continue to do so post-lockdown will be a personal choice. The question we should all ask ourselves is, whether when we are outside of any lockdown restrictions, is working from home really a workplace revolution or simply an act of selfishness?
Are You at Risk of Woke-washing Your Workplace?
In light of the growing conversations around “woke” culture, it’s important for organizations to consider how these discussions are impacting the workplace. First, we must acknowledge that some topics of conversation can cause discomfort and even be discriminatory. The #MeToo movement has brought many such examples to the forefront, and in this sense, the woke workplace seems to be a positive step forward.
What does ‘coming out’ as autistic tell us about neurodiversity?

Current chair of the Institute of Directors, her career includes directorships, the founding of non-profits and raising three children. Recently she revealed that she is also autistic.

Is microaggression D&I training a step too far?
Is microaggression D&I training a step too far? Helen Jamieson, March 10, 2020 Training can certainly increase awareness of ignorant comments, but can also cause divisions and hypersensitivity In February some eyebrows were raised when the University of Sheffield announced a programme of training on racial microaggressions.
Sephora and racial profiling: what can a single training day achieve?
Richard B. Levine/SIPA USA/PA Images Beauty retailer Sephora closed its US stores this week to deliver diversity training after a high-profile incident of racial profiling. But while this makes a bold statement, can a day′s training really tackle entrenched bias, asks Helen Jamieson? This week we saw another retail giant brought to a standstill as beauty chain Sephora closed its US stores for one day to deliver diversity training, following an incident of racial profiling.
National Employee Appreciation Day? What a joke!
March 1, 2019 by Helen Jamieson • Comment, Flexible working, Wellbeing Today is (apparently) a hot new date for all employers’ calendars as we ‘celebrate’ National Employee Appreciation Day. This US import seems to be finding feet in UK workplaces as employers plan to hand out freebies, gifts and perks to their hard-working staff. We all like to receive a thank-you, and likely won’t turn down free cakes, boxes of chocolates, or an early-finish.
Anti-team legislation can make us slaves to individual rights
January 3, 2019 by Helen Jamieson • Comment, Flexible working, HR Society is becoming more selfish. At least that’s what the most commonly held view on the issue suggests, and it’s only set to get worse. Whether or not you believe the headlines, my 20 plus years’ experience as an HR consultant has led me to believe the hype.
Pitting people against technology is not the answer to future recruitment and retention. Training is.
Reading time: 4 minutes The last two years has seen a rapid and fundamental shift in the way we work. Movements such as #metoo, the boom in zero-hours contracts, and a new regard for mental health has seen much-welcomed debate about working culture. It has, however also given rise to a worrying trend of navel gazing, as employers seek to respond to the latest headline issue, rather than take the time to assess the direction of their workforce as a whole.
Google: Technologically innovative, culturally backward?
For a supposedly innovative and future-forward company Google is behind the times when it comes to basic equalities and transparency It’s been a bad last week for Google, with staff taking part in a worldwide walkout in protest at the company’s alleged discriminatory treatment towards women, not to mention concerns over racism and bullying. The final straw appears to be the £69 million payout made to a prominent Google executive despite allegations of sexual misconduct.

Mother and daughter entrepreneurship: unlocking your potential
Are entrepreneurs born or made? It’s a common question but there has never been any real consensus. Personally, I believe that with a bit of knowledge and encouragement many of us can unlock our entrepreneurship potential. I also think that parents and schools have a role to play in encouraging wider thinking about career opportunities amongst the young. This includes thinking about the opportunities around entrepreneurship.
