The people we speak with typically have a reason to be looking for a new role. In most cases, the crux is some feeling of underappreciation.
So please ignore Employee Appreciation Day and keep the recruitment industry thriving π

Brought up in Lancs, I was told by my Surrey-born mum that I'd never get a job unless I "speak properly". 30 years later, it seems that accents are still being used to judge people.

Is cultural fit now a loophole for protected characteristic laws?
"Itβs not that you're Muslim, it's just that our team bond in the pub every Thursday".
That might already be said in private but does this ruling legitimise the thinking?
