Training and development | The key to recruiting and retaining top talent?
UK wages have risen at their fastest rate in 20 years, excluding during the pandemic, but are still lagging behind inflation, with regular pay (excluding bonuses) increasing by 7.2% in the three months to April 2023 (ONS). Where organisations can’t compete on remuneration to attract talent, they need to look at other avenues that will allow employees flexibility and development opportunities along their career path. Kerry White, Associate Director at Macmillan Davies, explains some of the ways organisations are winning at differentiating themselves in the war for talent. Read more
AI in HR | An opportunity, a barrier and a skills gap
Macmillan?Davies' 2023 HR Insights Survey which launched in January found that three quarters (78%) of senior HR specialists see artificial Intelligence (AI) and people metrics as central to a more data-driven future for the HR profession, but admit to significant gaps in digital adoption, technology, people analytics and data analysis skills. Now, almost 6 months later with the adoption of AI gathering pace, our latest poll has found that 55% of HR professionals still feel they only have a little knowledge and understanding of AI. 9% of participants said they felt they were an expert, or they know a lot about the topic.

Coming soon: Jo Banks is back and she’s talking all things Menopause!
Join us for Macmillan Davies’ latest webinar with speaker and host, Jo Banks, Executive Coach, Leadership Development Trainer, and Author.
Having successfully collaborated with Macmillan Davies on several sessions, we are welcoming her back in September to discuss:
It’s time to talk about the menopause
These days Menopause is more of a topic of discussion in the workplace but not as much as it should be, with a long way still to go!
Recent research shows that almost a million women in the UK have left their jobs as a result of menopausal symptoms. With menopause mainly affecting those in their late 40s and early 50s, this leads to women eligible for senior management roles leaving work at the peak of their career, with knock-on effects on workplace productivity, the gender pay-gap, and the gender pension gap.
More details coming soon!
