I will help you shed the Christmas pounds by putting more healthy free food on the menu

I will ban all unnecessary meetings and barriers to productivity

I will let you choose when to work from home

I will encourage you to use more not less social media

I will give you more time to think

I will let you bring your pug into work

I will tell you now if your job is unsafe

I will finally start treating you like an adult

Talking of adults, maybe in 2012 this should be a collaborative resolution?

4 quarterly issues (roughly spaced from February, June, September and December).  27 heavyweight articles (if you need to know, that’s roughly 6.75 articles per issue). Big name authors – Ulrich, Flamholtz, Marks, Bassi, Spender - as well as soon to be lorded emerging stars – Wilson, Anderson, Thamotheram, Royal and O’Donnell. UK, Sweden, France, US, Denmark, Australia, Canada, France: a global POV, and a rich one too, from busy body regulators to myth debunking academics, coal facing practitioners to outside looking in investors, OBE’s to CBE’s. All intermingled with an uncountable number of fleeter footed poems, cartoons, quotes - ‘clickbait’ - as our inaugural and esteemed editor, Ann Graham christened them.

The first in a new quarterly series of exclusive HRD networking events took place in London last week centred on the latest thinking in measuring talent by guest speaker and Danish human capital management expert, Morten Kamp Andersen. The debate focused on three areas: Why measure HR and talent; the common pitfalls to avoid; and how to calculate talent management ROI.  Owing to popular demand, a second event will take place again on 20th December to HRD's from a broad variety of sectors including: telecoms, pharmaceuticals, retail, charity, NHS, local government and finance.

Christmas is coming fast and with it that annual angel/demon where you are already forgiving yourself for indulging two sizes in the wrong direction with the promise that starting Jan 1st you really honestly will do something about your health.

Of course, businesses do this too. They get to the end of the year, worked and at the moment increasingly partied out, and in the back of their minds they take stock and make very real commitments to making 2012 different, to focusing on improving the health and wellbeing of the bottom line.
