Labour Bulletin Archive November 2009

2009 is very quickly coming to an end and with it the dreaded end-of-year slump. Everyone is just waiting for a quieter December and a bit of a break. It’s been a long, tough year for many companies, and needless to say nerves are frayed. Even the most good-natured employees seem to be more snappy than usual…and the modern trend towards open-plan offices doesn’t help!

The buzz around labour brokers hasn’t died down...and we still don’t know what the outcome will be.
