Inspired HR RoundUp — Inspired HR

Nikki marked International Women's Day by attending an incredible event by Smart Works Newcastle with Sara Davies MBE.

Hosted by Sophie Milliken MBE, the conversation covered everything from mindset and overcoming imposter syndrome to how Sara approaches life, business, and the lessons she shares in her latest book, The Six-Minute Entrepreneur. It was a fantastic insight into how small, intentional actions can create long-term success.

Of course, no event is complete without a little retail therapy, and Nikki couldn’t resist picking up two fabulous pieces from the charity auction in support of Smart Works Newcastle. She is now the proud owner of two items previously worn by Sara; a beautiful orange jacket (which you can spot in the photo below) and a striking spotty blue dress!

It was a fantastic night filled with insight, inspiration, and incredible women - Kathryn Rodgers and Lisa Thompson to name just two. A huge well done to Smart Works Newcastle for organising such an impactful event.

The government is set to abandon plans to introduce a legal ‘right to switch off’ which would have given employees the ability to ignore work-related emails and calls outside of office hours. This proposed change, based on French law, was intended to support work-life balance and reduce burnout. The government claims that removing this provision will help ease the financial burden on employers following recent budget changes. How much of an impact this will have remains to be seen. With recruitment freezes, headcount reductions, and rising employment costs, we’ll be keeping a close eye on what’s next for UK businesses.

We had a brilliant time on Tuesday at Inspired HR's and Advice4Business NE 's Prepare To Be Inspired event held at Gateshead College! A massive thank you to all of our attendees and of course our fantatsic speakers; Linda Lowther, Elaine Parker, Maxine Fox and Chris Garvey.

This is just some of the feedback we received; 'a day of inspiration', 'brutally honest and raw', 'a fantastic event' and 'did exactly what it promised to deliver'!
