Lately, much emphasis is given to a leader’s ability to influence the behavior of his/her followers and much less on his/her ability to actually direct them towards the right goals  and strategy.

I’m super thankful for 2016. have to say in 2016 I honestly believe I’ve met more HR and TA leaders and pros in this year than any other single year in my professional career! I’m constantly told, by well-meaning folks, when I go to a new place something like, “Well, Tim, the people here are great, but from an HR (or TA) perspective, we’re probably 3-5 years behind!” ” Almost every single place I go! Big city, tiny country town, foreign countries, big company, small company, startups. Everyone says the same thing! So, today I’m giving thanks.

Every day it seems like the world is going just a little bit faster. ‘Hurry Up’!  It doesn’t help that the end of each quarter brings with it its own set of rushed projects as everyone tries to reach the set goals. While it can be tempting to urge the employees to rush a little bit harder, take a step back and take a deep breath! Hurrying ends up being far more harmful than helpful.

UK businesses that import equipment and raw materials from foreign currencies may be affected by currency fluctuations following the UK’s vote to leave the EU. When dealing with a recent claim, we found that this had influenced our client’s insurance cover. The client had insured their plant and machinery at a value of £10m. This was an accurate valuation at renewal, which reflected the cost of replacing everything in their facility. But following a fire at the client’s premises shortly after renewal, the increased cost of replacing the equipment in the post-Brexit market became clear.
