The knowledge that a budget is coming brings mixed emotions for most SME owners and managers. Things beyond our control can have a significant impact on our business and our teams, and we may need to adapt to either benefit from them or manage through the outcomes. This budget doesn’t have the life shifting results of some previous ones, but there are things that may be important to you, your teams or your industry.

We all love Christmas and the holiday season. As HR consultants, we’re asked to advice from professional guidelines to ensure that parties and celebrations don’t turn into incidents as well as great party ideas. This time of year should be a great time for business, with customers either excitedly spending more or allowing you that time to focus a little more internally on all the things you’ve planned to get done but haven’t had time to do. Your employees are looking forward to the Christmas party and a chance to unwind and celebrate the year’s achievements. But unfortunately, it can also be an event that affects both business and careers well past the end of the party.

Here are some tips from our HR Consulting services to offer some simple yet useful gift suggestions.
