Why it’s time to invest in your employer brand
January 17, 2022
Employees have, and always will be (for the most part), at the heart of every business. Yet most employers don’t actively curate an employer brand to help them reach and engage the best talent. Fewer still see the strategic links between their employer brand, business performance and corporate reputation. But that is beginning to change.

Leading through a crisis: The importance of executive profiling during the Covid-19 pandemic
April 8, 2020
by Abigail Van-Arnold, Associate Director During this strange new world of social distancing and self-isolation, our lives as we know it have been temporarily turned on their heads. While some short-term lifestyle changes, like only leaving the house once a day are obvious, I find myself noticing smaller habitual changes too. Among these, I’ve realised that I now open marketing emails from companies far more frequently than I used to. Whether it’s emails from my...

Leading With Impact: FleishmanHillard Fishburn launches 2019 Authenticity Gap Report
July 17, 2019
Consumer expectations are higher than ever, and in an age of greater transparency and oversight, companies can no longer say one thing and do another.

May 22, 2019
As most thriving organisations hone in on a need to empower and motivate their talent, one could assume the notions of freedom, flexibility, productivity and profitability all sing from one melodic HR hymn sheet. From brainstorming on a beach to parenting with productive panache, countless “think pieces” would have you believe that the professional/personal pieces are falling into place.

Employees – the real stars of digital transformation
February 28, 2019
Digital transformation – two words many of us are far too familiar with, yet still sometimes don’t really grasp.
