    Do Advertising Balloons Really Work Wonders For Outdoor Publicity?

    The Cost of Workplace Violence Prevention and Awareness
    The Threat of Violence is On the Rise...A safe and productive workplace is in everyone's interest, but the number of violent acts, including threats of violence, has increased over 400% over the last decade. Workplace Violence Prevention and Education initiatives are paramount before an inci
    On 6 April 2007, new laws on flexible working were introduced in the UK. Prior to this date, only parents with children under six and disabled children under 18 had the right to apply for flexible working. The Work and Families Act 2006 has extended the rights to carers of adults.

    The new rights give an estimated 1.4 million more employees the right to request flexible working to care for an adult. The definition of a carer is someone who is or expects to be a carer of an adult who is:

    • married to or the partner of an employee,
    • is a near relative of the employee or
    • lives at the same address as the employee.

    Caring responsibilities include helping with personal care and nursing, emotional support as well as household support.

    The legislation can help those who have responsibilities for children and adults with caring needs. But it must be remembered that this is the right to request flexible working and is not guaranteed, and will ultimately be based on business need. So, how will it work in practice?

    Staying Current To Meet Changing Retail Technology Needs
    Who knew that a retailer's once-valuable and suitable point-of-sale system would become as useless as an old, antiquated typewriter? And then curse the day they got it? It happens. And worse, it keeps them operating at lower standards than other retailers who have stepped up to better technology.p>The new rights give an estimated 1.4 million more employees the right to request flexible working to care for an adult.

    Outdoor Advertising In Bars And Pubs
    Bars deliver a huge youth orientated audience, which is increasingly difficult to reach through traditional media channels. An incredible 77%* of 18-19 year olds and 86%* of 20-24 year olds visited a pub, bar or club at least once in the last year.They are central in UK society and lifestyles, w

I have every intention of trying to take advantage of the new flexible working legislation for carers. Will the company I work for agree? I don’t think so. The likelihood is that they’ll come up with some vague informal arrangement that leaves me feeling vulnerable and unlikely to do anything other than continue to take my annual leave”.

    Where flexible working is accepted in the workplace, those who are not affected by the legislation may resent those who are able to arrive late or leave early. To quote another client "it almost feels that this latest legislation discriminates against people without children or caring responsibilities."

    The extension of the right to request flexible working to carers is a step in the right direction. But to apply this right to all staff would create a more motivated workforce. In addition, it would have a positive effect on employee’s attitudes and morale and lead to increased productivity. This would therefore allow employees to develop a better work life balance, which is an increasing challenge in today’s society.
