Is GDPR the death of email marketing?

Written by Carolyne Wahlen

If you’ve been in business for a while, you’ll be familiar with the trends coming round and round again.

And often in small business marketing, with marketers trying to sell new initiatives all the time, methods die and then rise from the ashes like a phoenix, only to be pronounced dead again when the marketer needs to sell a new service.

And particularly with GDPR coming in, the death of email marketing has been predicted – again.

Tales of an HR Services Expert – Day 24: Professional negligence?!

Written by Carolyne Wahlen

Professional negligence?!

I do tribunal audits on employment contracts and handbooks so that the company knows what needs to be updated, how much risk they are at, and whether the documents are really “fit for purpose”.

Tales of an HR Services Expert – Day 14: Minimum Wage

Written by Carolyne Wahlen

Doing employees a favour doesn’t always work

Tales of an HR Services Expert – Day 6: I row – it could have been me!

Written by Carolyne Wahlen

I had the huge pleasure of meeting Ben Hunt-Davis (who is really tall, 6ft 6!). Ben is an Olympic gold medal winner from the Sydney 2000 games. He won, with his team, the gold medal for rowing in the men’s 8s.

This is particularly relevant to me as I rowed in the Goring and Streatley Regatta the last two years.

Last year was the first time I had rowed (although I have paddled a canoe before) and the effort required to get four people to do the same thing at the same time, consistently, is mind-blowingly difficult. Ever had that feeling at work?!
