Welcome to your HRD Connect update!

Organisational development (OD) is all about getting the human element of an organisation aligned with the company’s overall strategy. This is a challenge for all businesses, are you doing this?

The importance of mental health at work should never be overlooked, considering we spend a vast amount of our time at work we should feel entirely comfortable within our working environment both physically and mentally. HRD Connect conducted a survey about mental health in the workplace and we wanted to share our key findings, some results make for unsettling reading and have made it crystal clear how far we are yet to go with fully accepting and understanding all levels of mental health both in and outside of the workplace.

We hear from regular contributor Simon Mosey, who is a professor of entrepreneurship and innovation at Nottingham University Business School. Mosey tackles conventional wisdom and how needed this is in true leadership.

As ever, join the conversation and tweet us at @HRDCommunity or email me at [email protected].

I hope you enjoy the features.

Best wishes,
