Dear Subsriber, Welcome to the UK Workforce Hub's monthly e-briefing.

New HR ‘How To’ Guides  The UK Workforce Hub has developed three new ‘How To’ guides for voluntary organisations.
The Guides currently available are How to survive the recession: Alternatives to redundancy, 360 Degree Appraisals and HR software in voluntary and community organisations.
We are looking to produce more How to… guides in the future and would be grateful for any comments or thoughts you are willing to share, and are keen to know of the HR topics you think we should develop resources on.
Email Emma Allford for more information, or visit
