Editor’s note

Dear readers,

The Zoom end-of-year party is over, the out of office is set, and now is the time to kick back and enjoy a well-earned rest.

Every festive season marks the close of a busy year, but 2020 has been of an entirely different order, so from everyone at HRD, we hope you have a wonderful break and feel proud of a year in which HR truly came to the fore.

Feeling a bit jaded by festive feasting, TV and board games? Read on to check out some of our top articles from 2020, and get ready for a host of new content in the year to come.

All the best,

The HRD team
