Is Happiness the new Productivity Measure?
Consider these latest initiatives. The Office for National Statistics is including four questions on well-being in their Integrated Household Survey. A Gallup survey showed that we were behind the USA in happiness stakes. The charity Action for Happiness is promoting a mass movement to a better way of life. David Cameron is to consider altering government policy if needed to promote well-being. So what’s it all about?
Is Change Management past its sell-by-date?
How long has Change Management been a management guru phrase? First described in the 1980s we now have libraries dedicated to Change Management. There are seminars and magazine articles galore and typing the phrase into Google gives 876 million results! But is Change Management now Old Hat? Is it time it gave way to a different movement?
Survive or thrive?
How does managing redundancy protect a company's brand and reputation? In the bad old days redundancy hit when employees unexpectedly had their P45 with the pay slip. Competitors were quick to spot weaknesses and pick over the spoils. Although today redundancies are not necessarily an organisation's impending death warrant, how do they manage the process and remain confident? How do they make it less traumatic for those who have to leave whilst supporting those who stay?
The Wayfinder Programme
For professional women the new modular programme designed specifically for you. At last a package that allows women to remain true to their own identity and garner success at the same time.

Leading advisers proclaim positive psychology the new route to success
There's been a lot of energy put into promoting health and wellbeing at work recently, driven not only by HR managers but also by government who have picked up on the "new science" of happiness. Indeed, since 1972 Bhutan has prioritised GNH (Gross National Happiness) instead of GDP as a measure of their country's success. So is the UK coming to this philosophy a bit late or is it just a passing fad?

"We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing."
