Hi, I'm Kate. Stay up to date with everything HR.
I love using my Human Resource experience to help small businesses grow and improve. The intention of this blog is to provide a great, cost-free learning resource for all your HR practices.
On this main blog page, you'll find blogs on a wide range of helpful topics; from compliance and people management to health advice to increase your staff's happiness and wellbeing. Finally, because I love my gadgets, I hope to introduce you to handy, productivity apps and technologies. Nothing would make me happier than knowing this blog will help your company change for the better.
