Hourglass - issue 14

In this edition of Hourglass, we cover some of the main challenges that HR is facing in this economic downturn.

A selection of the main issues we cover includes:

• Michael Rendell, global head of HR Services at PricewaterhouseCoopers, discusses the collective responsibility to resolve the world’s economic problems and building a new way forward
• HRD profile, Richard Bide, human resource director for the Co-operative Group, explains how he manages HR policy in a group where businesses range from food to holidays
• Richard Donkin, FT columnist, talks about the credit crunch as being more than a financial crisis – it triggers a shift in our attitude to work and employers
• Leadership, the global economic crisis will be the ultimate test of leadership, particularly for CEOs of multinational organisations
• Construction, with the construction industry suffering more than most in the downturn, will it bounce back?
