Giving birth to a still born baby before 24 weeks doesn’t make you ‘sick’, it makes you a grieving parent. So why aren’t we afforded the same rights as those past 24 weeks?

@thismorning I think the CEO of Pimlico Plumbing is confused about furlough. He has control over whether people are on furlough or not, so ultimately if he thinks too many of his business are on furlough, then it’s down to him.

@BandQ just had my review rejected of one of your products. Probably because I said it became dangerous and could have injured my children, but thankfully just did damage to my property. #goodreviewsonly??

@Tesco you should think about teaching all these new staff you have employed to do delivery/click and collect what 2 meters is. It may say on their t-shirts but they clearly don’t understand. Putting people at risk. #SocialDistancing

Thinking you know everything! In the fast paced business world if you stand still you are basically going backwards. This is never more important than when it comes to training for your and your staff. #CommonHRMistakes

[Nicki Doherty @njdconsulting]

Not managing absence. For small businesses it can be easy to overlook the odd absence, but it has a major affect on productivity and the motivation of the individual and their colleagues. Not managing absence issues early can cost a lot of time and money. #CommonHRMistakes

[Nicki Doherty @njdconsulting]

Veering off course. Business owners spend a lot of time making plans, failing to follow them can have devastating consequences. Of course there are times when the plan needs reviewing and amending, but remember why it was there in the first place. #CommonHRMistakes

[Nicki Doherty @njdconsulting]

Not issuing employment contracts! A number one issue with small businesses is not setting out at the start your agreement, rules and processes. Without it you can find it difficult to manage staff issues and are in breach of the law! #CommonHRMistakes

[Nicki Doherty @njdconsulting]

@pauldurrant12 Lack of training and development is a key reason that most staff leave - people will often leave bosses not business so it’s a good idea to ask yourself as a manager if you are doing enough to develop your talent.

[Nicki Doherty @njdconsulting]

Do you recognise the importance on your staff? You have hired the talent within your organisation to support your goal of building a successful business - now what? Motivating and engaging your employees will help them achieve your goals. #CommonHRMistakes

Don’t you just love a misleading headline?? Easy Jet confirmed only 6% of their pilots, compared with with 69% of cabin crew are female. With pilots attracting a much higher wage, average gender pay gap figures make it look like they pay women half the hourly rate they pay men.

I'm talking to a lot of small business owners who don't know where to spend their time (and money!) when it comes to people and processes. So I'm looking at the most common HR mistakes small businesses need to avoid over the coming weeks. #CommonHRMistakes

Are you flexible when it comes to your employees working time? Thinking a little outside the box can help both parties #flexibleworking #motivation #employeeengagement
