Hourglass - Issue 11

September 2008

In this edition of Hourglass, we focus on sustainability and what it means in the world of contemporary HR management.

A selection of the main issues we cover includes:

• Michael Rendell questions whether the climate is changing for HR
• HRD profile, David Smith, HR director at Asda, explains how the supermarket group has managed to achieve one of the best retention rates in the business
• Richard Donkin, FT columnist, discusses how flexible working has blurred the line between work and pleasure
• Reward, we examine how HR can strike the balance between risk and reward
• Employee engagement, “green” policies have been shown to improve employee engagement – but a cynical approach will do more harm than good
• Crisis management, HR’s vital role during a PR crisis
