This week in the UK the sunshine has made an appearance and as we are lucky enough as individuals to have our own businesses and be able to work around this so, we headed out for the day yesterday and thought it might be topical to reflect up on how the change in the seasons can effect employee motivation. 

HR

• managing your team's attendance at work can sometimes be challenging ? 
• Absence hasn't been managed effectively and sick pay is essentially seen as another way to take holiday.  If you look at the trends in absence very often there will be patterns with the same offenders 

Recruitment

• In these unprecedented times have traditional peaks changed? 
• Are we seeing trends in the current market?

L&D

• With spring, is it time for new beginnings and people are generally more energised? 
• Do you see any particular trends in demand for training I.e. teambuilding events?
