It’s back to my home town and roots this season, sponsoring a team with great promise at Halesowen Town Football Club

I love the start of the season and the structure and purpose that returns to weekends. It is always a pleasure to support grassroots football and we are always full of gratitude for the commitment, coaching and volunteering hours put in by so many people.

Schools back and so am I! 👋

Year 27 in HR! Fresh, energised, and Autumn ready.

The speed of change in employment law is significant and October brings several changes for all employers.

From 30 October 2026, every employer in the UK will be required to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment and this includes liability for harassment of employees by third parties unless they have taken all reasonable steps to prevent it.

Sexual harassment prevention is relevant to every workplace and every industry.

Whether your organisation is an office, shop, factory, school, hospital, construction site, hospitality venue or remote workplace, employers should take proactive steps to prevent sexual harassment.

Third parties relevant to your business maybe Customers, Clients, Patients, Contractors, Consultants , Suppliers, Visitors, Members of the public

Please do reach out to me for more information on how I can support your business to meet appropriate standards of expectation and compliance.

A HR toolkit on prevention of sexual harassment in the workplace is available from Goodwin HR and includes model polices, templates, forms, training guidance and risk assessment material.

In my humble HR opinion, employers must meet the requirements to avoid serious risks, injunctions and avoid costly situations.

This week has had some joyous moments by way of sunflowers, scones & roses!

July in HR has been much like the weather - hot and sticky. In fact it’s pretty reflective of the last 12 months in HR……

One recurrent theme sits around AI generated correspondence.

AI generated letters of a disgruntled nature are in the main inaccurate, generic & adding extreme formality to situations that could easily be resolved by pragmatic communication and face to face discussions.

In most instances when employees do meet to discuss the content of THEIR written word they are struggling to put the points across to the relevance of the situation. AI generated language is so identifiable, legalistic and often misunderstood by the author. Authentic content holds much more genuine and credible weight.

HR professionals that are wise and savy stick to following processes and flowery lengthy language is merely an attempt to disrupt positive outcomes and solutions. We don’t get blindsided by AI text.

Here’s how to reach me if wise and savvy HR is right for you and your business.

Hot weather = Hot heads?

When people are tired, dehydrated, and uncomfortable, conflict becomes easier and collaboration becomes harder.

In my corporate days we used to call it midsummer madness. Tricky grievances or unusual situations would seemingly present in the summer.

As employers I would say be reasonable and play fair. More breaks, more adjustments.

High temperatures test more than infrastructure—they test tempers. Smart employers plan for both.

From wellbeing and flexible working to managing workplace tensions, we’re here to help businesses keep their teams thriving.
