For anyone worried about taking time off work to see a GP, or trying to get an appointment (often hard with packed out surgerys right now) I wanted to let you know that HSF health plan, is a wonderful and very cost effective (starts at £1 per week) that offers a free 24 hour GP helpline, that you can ring and get through to a GP straight away and spend as long as you need to talk over symptoms.  Last week I got a virus and was very worried.  I tried to get a GP appt, but not only was it too busy, but I really could not leave the house.  I rang up and spoke to a GP at 11pm and they really helped put my mind at rest and gave some good advice.  Since starting a new business and working freelance, getting time off is hard.  HSF offers dental & opitcal cover and is free for your partner and children too. http://www.hsf.eu.com/uk/

Editor's Welcome

 

Hello! And welcome back as we enter 2012, with a busy year ahead of us all. With talk of double-dip recessions, a possible partial or even full break-up of the Eurozone and unemployment rates set to hit nearly 9%, topics such as organisational streamlining, staff resilience and talent management are likely to be on many an HR professional's lips over the next 12 months.
 
But to lighten the gloom here in the UK, we also have the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and its attendant public holidays to look forward to at the start of June. Followed by two weeks of Olympic Games from 27 July to 12 August and the Paralympics from 29 August to 9 September, each generating their own excitement, but also issues to work through for hard-pressed HR departments trying to sort out the multifarious staffing issues in advance.
 
So with an interesting but challenging year to come, HRZone promises to be with you, supporting you all the way and providing our usual insightful blend of news, analysis, community blogs and expert comment to help you sort the wheat from the chaff. As ever, we love to hear from you too so feel free to either post your words of wisdom to our blog section yourself or, in the case of longer, more in-depth ‘expert voice’ articles, drop me a line with any ideas to cath.everett@siftmedia.co.uk.....
