27 September 2024 | Blog

It has been a busy September for The HR Booth team! There has been various highlights as we have been out & about at events as well as appearing on podcasts, and you can read all about it below.

We attended the Fife Business Expo in Dunfermline. It was great to see some old friends, current clients and meet some new faces too. It was an informative day at The Carnegie Conference Centre!

We recently expanded our office. We took this opportunity to share the cool & quirky features of our office. Take a virtual tour of our office by watching the video below.

Alistair appeared on not one but two podcasts – YU Chat and The Business Babble Podcast. We appeared on the podcast of our good friend, Paul Hutchinson (You. Understood.), speaking about the importance of positive wellbeing in the workplace. You can listen to it here.

Good friends of ours Wicus, Johnny and Mike, invited us on to their Business Babble podcast. Alistair spoke about his journey so far, the history of The HR Booth and how to navigate the modern world of HR. Have a listen here.

Our Recruitment partners, hireful.. celebrated 25 years in business! First things first, congratulations! We took this opportunity to invite them on to our podcast to discuss their journey as a business, our recruitment work for clients & the future for the world of recruitment.

We recognised our HR Professionals on HR Professional Day, by asking them what their favourite thing about working at The HR Booth is. Our team are the epicentre of the service we provide to our clients. You can check out their answers by watching the video below.

We ended the month on a high by raising some money for Macmillan Cancer Support as we hosted our very own Coffee Morning. It was great to see many of our neighbours attend this event and we’re also well on our way to reaching our target of £250 (at the time of writing).
