During my time as an Office Manager, I’ve seen (oddly) many types of evacuation scenarios from fires or false alarms which are pretty typical to flooding (from a ceiling!) It’s probably pretty obvious where this blog will take us in that I am in favour of evacuation drills and ensuring employees, visitors, contractors and those in charge of supporting an evacuation e.g. fire wardens are well versed on what to do, where to go and how to ensure they are safe and sound should anything ever happen.

Trust at work is crucial for business operations. So, why do so many organizations get it so wrong? The concept of trust — particularly in the workplace — is deceptively simple.

The presence of trust indicates healthy workplace culture , as well as a host of benefits to the organization, from resilience and innovation to stock market success.

I am a night owl, born and bred.

“Thank you.”. It’s a simple phrase, short and sweet. But how often does it actually come out of your mouth? It’s kind of surprising how hard it really is to make saying “thank you” something that comes naturally instead of another item on your to-do list. Except it is hard. It can slip your mind. You’re not sure how to say it, or show it. And sometimes it feels awkward (complimenting—giving and receiving—doesn’t come easily to everyone).
