HumouR Us... It has been reported, that those working in Human Resources are amongst the unhappiest workers in the United Kingdom... There are occasions when the nature of our work perhaps puts us in a more sombre mood than most, but that's not always the case and there can be a lighter side to our work too - even some humour on occasions and we will be using this space to share some of the funnier aspects of our work. Some of the stories will be true; others will be entirely fiction - but in all cases, names will be with-held to protect the guilty!!!!

A Management Assessment Exercise...
At the start of the training session, place 400 bricks in a closed room.
Take your potential employees in the room and close the door.
Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours; then analyse the situation you find. If they:-
are counting the bricks – put them into the Accounts Department
are recounting them – put them into Auditing
are placing the bricks into a strange order – put them into Planning
are sleeping – put them in Security
have broken the bricks into pieces – put them into IT
have already left for the day – put them into Marketing
are staring out of the window – put them into Strategic Planning
are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them into a Senior Management Role!
