Welcome to our new e-Bulletin. We hope you have found our newsletters useful over the last twelve months and look forward to bringing you our usual HR information snippets during the coming year. New Year is a time for change; take a look at our new website – www.crispinrhodes.co.uk - launched today and also our revamped e-Bulletin.
We’ve had some excellent feedback on the content of our previous newsletters so we’ll continue with similar information, but we are also introducing a series of manager guides to HR related topics which we hope you will find useful, including a Desktop Guide to HR.
As ever, your feedback is always appreciated so please do let us know if there’s anything else you would like to see in our e-Bulletin.
Kind regards,
Angela
