I have been blogging for almost 2 years now. The benefits to my practice and my own personal development have been huge. Most bloggers spend a lot of time on other people's blogs and the range of HR/leadership/management/personal development blogs out there is wide and varied.
BUT - and here is a big problem for me - I have only found ONE UK based blogger in this area. No amount of Googling is leading me anywhere. My favourite blogs are mainly based in the US and some in Australia. The quality is great but the differences mean that American organisations' methods of hiring and firing won't work here and advice and comments on holiday/maternity/sick situations of course cannot relate to the UK benefits system and employee rights.
By the way - did you know that in the US people who have been through an interview are expected to write a thank you letter to the prospective employer afterwards and how they do that might even influence if they get the job or not! Some years ago we interviewed and American for a job here in the UK and she sent a letter to the three of us on the interview panel.
