Our Top 5 most popular HR blogs from 2019

  • The second of our most popular HR blogs in 2019 advises employers on how to carry out a return to work interview . We’re encouraged that over 1700 people share our opinion that return to work interviews are an essential part of workplace attendance management.
  • The thorny question of “Can I ban employees from eating breakfast at work?” takes third place in our most popular HR blogs of 2019. This was a particular pet hate of our Managing Director, Alison Driver, because she believes that once the start time has passed, employees should be working, not eating their breakfast!
  • In the high tech world operating in today’s workplace we were expecting to see our blog on monitoring employees appear in the list. Taking fourth place suggests we weren’t wrong. Data Protection legislation doesn’t prevent employers from monitoring workers, but remember, workers are entitled to some privacy at work.
  • Number five in our most popular HR blogs of 2019 goes to our blog on how to deal with persistent lateness . Surprisingly it’s one of the most common questions clients ask us because they’re grappling with the impact of this negative behaviour on work and work colleagues.
