🎄 Party season is here - but work events are still work events.

Your duty of care doesn’t take a holiday. Make sure your festive gatherings are:

✅ Inclusive - everyone feels welcome, whether they drink or not.
✅ Fun beyond alcohol - activities, conversation, and connection matter most.
✅ Safe & respectful - protect your team, plan responsibly, and ensure everyone gets home safely.

Great culture doesn’t clock out for Christmas. ✨

👉 What’s on your work party agenda this year? Save this post to keep your events safe, inclusive, and enjoyable for all.

Are You Ready to Thrive in 2026?

Planning your business for the year ahead can feel overwhelming, but being clear on your goals, aligning them with your personal priorities, and mapping out the resources and milestones you need makes all the difference.

Be flexible, celebrate wins, and take action.

2026 is creeping up, and the latest Budget brings major HR changes.

Key updates:

• Minimum wage rise - update contracts, review pay bands, reforecast payroll.
• Unfair dismissal rights at 6 months - set clear objectives early and document performance.
• Day-1 sick pay and paternity leave - update policies and train managers.

2026 is shaping up to be a big year for HR and people leaders.

A client once asked me, “Melanie… can a candidate take you to tribunal, even if you never employed them?”

Short answer: absolutely. And it happens far more often than most leaders realise.

Hiring isn’t just about spotting talent, it’s about protecting your decisions. Using clear, objective criteria and documenting every stage can save your business from legal risk.

Smart leaders make their hiring tribunal-proof. ✅

This Men’s Mental Health Month, strong leadership isn’t about doing it all alone. 🩵

Step back, trust your team, and protect your wellbeing. Small actions make a difference — mental health days, paternity leave, recognising effort, and open conversations build a healthier culture.

Delegating isn’t losing control, it’s strengthening your business and your people.

I’m a holiday swimmer, it means that I’ve got enough confidence from my school days lessons to jump in the pool or sea and splash about a bit, but no technique for distance or life saving.

Now my husband on the other hand has all his certificates, and glides through the water with ease and my children (who’ve had lessons since they were 2 months old) are just like him.

Improving my swimming has been on my to do list for a while, but it never made it to the top until 2 things happened during our half term holiday

1. My 10 year-old beat me in a swimming race 🙈
2. I couldn’t work out how to do the breast stroke 🙄

Trust me when I tell you that before we’d gotten on a plane back to the U.K. I’d booked a block of improver lessons.

Today I had my second lesson and I’m already improving.

Having focussed dedicated time makes a big difference.

This is why my People Power Advantage Masterclass is game changing.

A live interactive practical session that gives you the clarity, tools, and confidence to hire, manage, and engage people the right way, without the legal headaches, whether they are employees, contractors, consultants or volunteers.

You’ll leave with a practical framework you can use immediately, plus workbooks, templates and resources to support you long after the session.

It’s always interesting how different press outlets report the same news!

This FT article isn’t particularly full of joy regarding the changes in employment law coming into effect in April or the ‘in favour of employees’ proposed employment rights bill.

Why is treating your employees like adults and having compassion for those going through life’s challenges as an employer so hard to get their head around?

Hardly anyone is trying to ‘get away’ with doing the bare minimum and providing support, compassion and understanding, builds loyalty, helping you to retain talented people who will get the job done.

We are the sandwich generation - delivering excellence in our careers; whilst being present for our children and caring for our parents (or others) and ourselves.

Life requires flexibility, which in my home means I do drop off and my husband does pick up; but we have the flexibility to swap or work from home if the other needs to change schedule for something important.

It also meant that I could work from the hospital when my mums chemo stopped working; to get precious time with her when she was still lucid. And so that I could stalk her Drs to get the answers you only get in person.

It’s short sighted to believe that if a persons job isn’t their only priority, they aren’t serious about their career and won’t be an asset to your business.

Having grown up policies and a culture that supports it, is essential to the success of your business.

If you want to get to grips with what you need to do for the April legislation updates and beyond, you can get instant access to our FREE the employment law update - link in bio 👆🏽

My husband and I always have a pack of cards when we go out.

We’ve played blackjack (not 21) since practically the day we met 🙈 years ago!

Yes, we are a competitive pair! But while we play we discuss all sorts, make plans and build our relationship.

Today the cards came out while our girls were having fun at our local and gave us a chance to have a conversation without disruption, with a little trash talk on the side!

It is so important to connect with the people we work with; in business and personally.

How often do you have a conversation with your team members without disruption?

To lead effectively, it’s important to connect with your team and get to know them.

It’s how you discover what drives them and how to get the best out of them.

Do you have regular 1-2-1’s with your team?
