I meet quite a few HR managers up and down the UK who are interested in stress management, communication, team building or leadership training. Usually they are people who really care about their organisations’s employees and are keen to see their people manage stress, get on well and communicate effectively. In short they give a damn that people are suffering and want to do something about it.

What is curious however is that this deep care is often hidden behind rationalisations which it is apparent are not the driving force. Of course demonstrating return on investment to then accounts department is crucial but it is almost as if the HR managers are ashamed to show their human side. I business so brutal that we have to keep our compassion and true values in a closet? I hope not, and hope that ever increasing numbers of HR personnel make a stand for what they really believe in, because if they don’t who in organisations will?

All the best from Brighton,
