Loneliness Awareness Week: How do we maintain connections in a hybrid working world?
The shift towards hybrid and remote working has brought many positives – freeing up time, money, and replacing rigid requirements with helpful flexibility for many employees. But is it making us lonelier? June saw Loneliness Awareness Week and we spoke with Alicia Nagar, head of people, wellbeing and equity at Mental Health First Aid England and Anthony Painter, policy director at Chartered Management Institute, to find out how employers can do more to address loneliness among flexi-working staff.

5 things mothers returning from maternity leave actually want from their employers
Returners after maternity leave often have mixed experiences. While some have a smooth ride back into their job role, others feel they haven’t been given the correct support – or opportunities.
New research by Generation Logistics found that 94% of new mums feel nervous about returning to work after a baby, as part of research surveying new mothers in full-time employment across a wide range of industries. Shockingly, nearly all of the women surveyed said they had to complete work tasks out of hours (97%) after returning.
