@elonmusk It was....it was........Sir Keith Starmer!

I made the case for getting rid of the HR department over the last decade. Some progress made, but much more to do. Start here.

@elonmusk What is it with you and Warren Buffet and this Diet Coke obsession. I know Buffet is a shareholder, are you?

[Ben Whitter @BenWhitterEX]

@kelvmackenzie The money and the support will go to the Torys. No question. This is so basic a manoeuvre you can see it a mile off. The Tory's are not in a position to push back, they will come to heel if Musk pumps the money in.

@elonmusk This is basically a retreat to realign support (and related funding) to the Conservatives and a major rebrand of Conservatism (to mimic what happened with the Republicans in the USA). Someone has explained the first past the post system to him. Farage is the fall guy.

@ABlueFlame @elonmusk Only patient because they can afford to be....a lot do not have that luxury. The polls, for once, seem to be spot on.

@dam_dna37898 @jonny26248061 @ben_kew This is the problem with bias in politics. These folks put the blinkers on to anything that doesn't suit their views or agendas. He has been wrong on right-related topics so much yet I'm sure he is still happy to stand that ground and try to hope his positions into existence.

[Ben Whitter @BenWhitterEX]

@jonny26248061 @dam_dna37898 @ben_kew Yes, that's what I find incredible too. He is not just wrong, but very badly wrong and way off every time he looks into his political crystal ball. Remarkable really - this needs to be studied further.

[Ben Whitter @BenWhitterEX]

@PeterOrton66 @ben_kew Perhaps he is well versed on Middle East policy, but the UK electorate have been ignored for decades and that's where they wanted their politicians to focus (on the UK) so this indicates poor instincts politically and that's why he didn't get chance to advance his agenda.

[Ben Whitter @BenWhitterEX]

@jonny26248061 @ben_kew Agree, we circle back to my initial point. There is a significant lack of political talent in the UK and there has been for decades. This would explain how Stewart and his ilk have been able to dominate the political discourse despite their inadequate political instincts.

[Ben Whitter @BenWhitterEX]

@jonny26248061 @ben_kew I try to see the best in most people; he has achieved things/held office (we are talking about him and his views) and from what I gather about his travels, he had some authentic and challenging experiences that came into his writing work and made an impact beyond himself.

[Ben Whitter @BenWhitterEX]

@ben_kew I don't deny his impressive qualities, but he has terrible political instincts, I agree. Though I would have expected his world travels to lead to a more balanced & realistic approach to his politics in the UK.

To drive results through the #employeeexperience, companies will need to be more intentional about the #humanexperience

It’s not simply about where we work. It's about how we perform.

One thing is clear: #EmployeeExperience (EX) needs both strategic vision and energy to truly succeed. Without a Chief Employee Experience Officer (CEEO) guiding the way, it becomes much harder for business and HR leaders.
