?? Industry In-Just-3

As financial recruitment specialists, we have a unique perspective on the industry. Here is some recent news and our unique view on the world of employment for accountants. ??


1. NEWS. Define Wellbeing to Help Employers, according to Peninsula Group.

A new study finds that a lack of legal definition for wellbeing is hindering efforts to support workers suffering from mental ill-health. Amongst the report’s key findings, it found that there is no ‘universally accepted’ definition of wellbeing, leading to inconsistencies in research and practice. This in turn makes it very difficult to compare and assess wellbeing practices across different organisations, sectors, industries, cultures and nations.
