It’s common knowledge (or at least we hope?!) that the success and growth of any company are inherently tied to the wellbeing and productivity of its employees. However, creating an environment that fosters positivity, growth, and success requires deliberate and concentrated effort and attention.

As April is in full swing, let's take a moment to shine a spotlight on something pretty important: Stress Awareness Month.

Now, if you're in the HR world like us, you know that stress isn't just a buzzword—it's a real deal affecting millions of hardworking souls in the UK every year.

So, let's chat about how stress impacts us, both personally and professionally, and what we can do to tackle it head-on.

Summer is over.I guess that means that for most of us, the routine is now officially back in action again. Kids are back at school, uni students are heading back and the world of work rumbles on.

It’s the great British summertime (if you can believe it!) which means the usual working cadence often changes for a lot of businesses. The summer season can sometimes lead to a dip in employee engagement, so this summer make sure you are keeping your people motivated, engaged and supported.

We’ve said it before and we’ll keep saying it.

A business will succeed or fail because of the people in it.

So what are the 9 things stopping your business growth and what do you need to do about it?

April was stress awareness month - this does the important job of bringing awareness to stress in the workplace.

May is all about ways to actually reduce stress in the workplace.

It’s the start of a new year and coming back from a break can be a tough transition. Couple that with the seemingly never-ending “new year, new me” posts and it’s no wonder we can start to feel overwhelmed.

As a busy business owner, there’s a lot to think about – so in the whirlwind of December, let us help with you getting everything wrapped up (at least with your team – we can’t help with the Christmas presents!).

The world feels very heavy at the moment. This month at Human Everything we want to encourage everyone to look after their human, in and outside of the workplace, to stop burnout, increase happiness and boost productivity.

Whatever your business aspirations are, whether you are maintaining, growing or developing your business, you need to think about your people strategy and the sooner you do, the sooner you can start reaping the rewards.

Basically, we want more of it, and I’m going to tell you why.
