People Insights Newsletter - June 2025

Fresh Starts, Real Talk, and Cautionary Tales


As we move into the second half of the year, it’s the perfect time to take stock of what’s working in your business – and what might need a bit of a tidy-up.


This month, we share why now’s a great moment for an HR “spring clean,” along with a reminder that it’s completely normal to face people problems in your business – and that help is at hand.


With Father’s Day celebrations taking place this month, we are also highlighting upcoming reforms around parental leave, and what they could mean for your business. 


We share a real-world cautionary tale of how one solicitor’s attempt to juggle three remote jobs ended badly, and what this means for policies and practices in your business. 


Finally, we answer some common HR questions.
