Shared Services Weekly: Post Summer Blues? Time to Re-Set Your GBS Career

Hi and welcome to our Shared Services weekly newsletter!

As you come back to work hopefully refreshed or at least with a change of perspective, it can be a good time to re-establish work-life boundaries, re-examine ways of working and even take another look at your career goals. If you’re inclined to do so, SSON’s GBS Career Corner Booklet is the perfect place to start. It’s full of top tips from GBS leaders and insight into the pivotal decisions that changed their careers.

All the best,
