How to spot festive fatigue
December – which marks the start of the festive season – has been described as the most stressful month of 2022 by half of Brits. According to survey data from people analytics company, Visier, more than a third (36%) of Brits feel more stressed about the festive season this year when compared to last year, citing the cost of living crisis (79%), being able to afford Christmas presents (55%) and fear of new year redundancies (18%) as key reasons why.
Ian McVey: How to approach the Quiet Quitting conundrum in 2023
Rising inflation, higher taxation burdens, uncertainty around long-term energy costs and mortgage agreements – there are a lot of financial worries playing on people’s minds at the moment, highlights Ian McVey, SVP and GM EMEA at Visier. More and more are wondering how to make ends meet.
Signs looming recession fear is slowing down attrition
More than three quarters of Brits (81%) are planning to ride out the recession with their current employer, despite nearly half (46%) admitting that they’d like to change jobs, according to data from people analytics company Visier. As recent ONS data reports that the jobless rate fell to 3.5% in the three months to August, Visier research shows that Brits are reluctant to rock the boat with their current employer for fear of being left financially worse off.
Reverse retention tactics growing in economic downturn
UK businesses and the labour market alike are facing a series of complex challenges in the current economic climate. This, in turn, is having a direct impact on employees’ attitudes and behaviours towards their employer. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the UK unemployment rate recently fell to its lowest rate since 1974.
How can businesses get ahead of the ‘reverse retention’ trend?
Businesses and the labour market find themselves in something of a perfect storm. Inflation is surging ahead of wage rises, and the tight jobs market – which has yet to recover from the fallout of the pandemic – continues to make it extremely difficult for companies to hire the people they need. And to make matters worse, organisations are also becoming increasingly at risk of losing the talent they do have.
Making better decisions with people data and analytics at Standard Bank
By Ian McVey, SVP & GM EMEA at Visier Talent attraction, development and retainment remains a key challenge facing the financial services sector, one which has intensified due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has transformed working environments. Even before the pandemic arrived, financial services was ranked the second most stressful industry to work in, second only to health and social care on a list of 12 of the UK’s most prominent sectors.
Employers aren’t doing enough to tackle cost of inflation
Nearly three quarters of Brits (71%) say they do not feel that their employer has adequately kept up with the cost of inflation, according to data*. When asked how they plan to handle the rising cost of living in the next 12 months, over two in five Brits (43%) say that they feel they could be forced to find alternative ways of making money if their workplace does not do more to support them.
10 ways AI can make human resources more human
Reading time: 5 minutes. At a first glance, artificial intelligence (AI) and Human Resources (HR) seem to be poles apart. After all, how could an essential business element that includes the word human in its name use technology that’s artificial? But what do the people who actually work in the industry think? According to Forbes, many HR professionals see AI as taking away the admin-heavy aspect of their jobs while letting the humans do what they do best.

The Death Of 9-To-5: Why Just 6% Of UK Workers Now Have Standard Office Hours
In the UK, working time is carefully regulated to ensure employees receive all the rights, breaks, and leaves they’re entitled to under the Working Time Directive. While this act ensures fair working hours, it also leaves room for a life outside the office. Job sharing and flexible hours are playing an increasingly larger role in the way offices are manned and managed. 9-5 office hours are no longer the expectation of the employee or the employer. Flexible working is on the rise.

5 Reasons to invest in Learning & Development
The day you stop learning is the day you stop earning, so here are my 5 top reasons to invest in learning and development; Sometimes, particularly as adults, we slip into the trap of complacency, operating in a state of unconsciousness where it feels like are just going through the motions. It’s the day you slip into a place that I call ‘the groove or the grave’ – no man’s land. It’s the day you accept your place in the world of mediocrity where just enough is good enough.

Culture Transformation Journey: Step by step, day by day
They say that it is the journey that matters more than the destination. Together with Isabelle Krauss I have had the opportunity to witness a wonderful yet not easy culture transformation journey in the Directorate –General of Informatics at the European Commission*. With the reduction of resources and an increasing pressure on IT to deliver everything better, faster and cheaper, it was high time to look at internal matters in the organisation and see what can be changed and how.
Employee engagement is crucial to a modern CEO
The recent proposed Green Paper, and in particular its element on "stakeholder engagement", called for the voices of employees and customers to be heard in the Boardroom. It followed the PM’s U Turn on her commitment to put employees on company boards, but echoed the Chancellor’s sentiments on UK productivity. As Mr Hammond reminded us in his Autumn Statement, UK productivity lags behind that of the US and Germany by some 30 percentage points.
The psychology of entrepreneurs drives business outcomes
Smart leaders of countries and cities know that a thriving entrepreneurial sector is a key to economic growth and the creation of good jobs. In the U.S. alone, 50% of all jobs are in small businesses and approximately 65% of all new good jobs are created by them, according to the Small Business Administration. Finding and developing successful business builders is critical to any society that wants to thrive economically.
