Weekly Digest Blog 9th-13th May

Hello and welcome to this week's Hot HR weekly digest and blog!  I hope you find it useful and informative.

                                         
Firstly, a warm welcome to Hot HR’s new members this week! We now have over 470 members, with over 30 HR professionals joining in 5 days.


Please continue to recommend the group to any HR contacts that you might have.  The aim of the group is for information and ideas to be available via Hot HR, with people feeling that they can contribute to an open discussion, focussing on real issues and quality discussion.


Hot HR has lots of plans for the future to enhance the quality and services offered by being a member of this specialist group, so keep checking the group to see what is happening and what is Hot in HR.

As usual, the format of this blog and Weekly Digest takes the form of:

  • The week's Speed Read posted by Harmajinder Hayre from Ward Hadaway, the only      employment law specialist within the Hot HR group
  • Interesting Read - topical information posted in the group
  • Question Time - most popular question or discussion from within the group

Question Time - I found this interesting comment on giving references 'Giving a reference is not the end of the story'. Has anyone had any similar experiences or concerns regarding references? Do you shy away from giving the facts? So many references these days will only cover the dates of employment and are really not that informative or helpful. Do you find this is a problem for your business?
Interesting Read/Discussion -   With a social media focus this week - 'Still think social media is a fad?' and '48% of British workplaces ban social media'


Share your thoughts and comments on social media and the need for social media policy in the work place  at Hot HR
