Friday podcast: Awards 2008, discrimination by association, and “fit notes”

by Louisa Peacock 28 Nov 2008
by Louisa Peacock 28 Nov 2008

HR news and analysis, including:



  • Find out who was the overall winner at Personnel Today’s glittering awards ceremony  on 27 November – and listen to why they thought they won the coveted trophy

  • We discuss how recent developments in the Sharon Coleman case will pave the way for new rights for carers, and make discrimination by association a reality for employers

  • And we ask how the new ‘fit note’ to replace sick-note Britain culture will help HR to reduce sickness absence – find out what Dame Carol Black had to say. 

Louisa Peacock is joined by John Charlton and Noel O’Reilly.

Edited and produced by Louisa Peacock.
