It has been a busy start to 2022, with our HR network saying that this year is not about looking back over the ups and downs of the last two years but moving forward and re-affirming plans. The use of technology in the HR space has been an area of development which we cover here. We also continue to look at well-being which will clearly be a growing focus for HR in the future.
We hope you enjoy this latest edition.
