We’re sharing with you our top news picks so far.
As more big firms make large-scale lay-offs due to the rise in automation, we look at whether redundancy law is still fit for purpose. We also consider a recent report that urges HR to drive age-inclusive workplaces, as well as how AI-generated grievances are on the rise.

We’re sharing with you our latest article on getting the timing right when working with the media. On top of that, we’ve written about remote work and pay cuts, as well as a Yale study on AI replacing workers (hint: it’s not happening yet).

The UK media space is becoming increasingly competitive, as brands vie to communicate with journalists in an effort to gain repeated exposure. Add into the mix that journalism is such a fast-paced world – and you’ll see why timing is everything.

Looking at the media agenda, and how to get your brand seen. As well as hot articles in the press covering the rise in ‘bossware’ and the introduction of avatar agents into the workforce.

Bringing you our top news picks from August; the rise of HR and IT departments merging, the use of AI being hidden from the boss and PwC’s new traffic lights system to track employees.
