Friday podcast – 8 Aug 08: McDonald’s and police recruitment, and UBS poaching

Our weekly HR news and analysis audio programme includes:

• chief people officer Angela O’Connor tells Personnel Today how the Police Service should copy the Armed Forces in advertising better for the range of career paths it has on offer, to attract the best graduates


• we debate the news that McDonalds will hire thousands more people to cope with demand


• and we discuss the court case that ruled in favour of Swiss bank UBS, when it complained former staff had left the company to set up a direct rival and were still poaching UBS employees.

Presenter Louisa Peacock is joined by Greg Pitcher and John Charlton. Produced by Louisa Peacock, edited by Louisa Peacock and Rob Moss.
