    CCTV in the workplace

    You don't necessarily need permission but I would still make it clear, give notice and make sure your policies and procedures are updated accordingly. If you can extend that to doing an official consultation with your people, it will go smoother. Your main considerations are going to be around GDPR.

    Canva For facebook and instagram Marketing

    I use Canva for lots of the quick things or things that I know are well-templated and used regularly. I then use Adobe for some of the more involved stuff. Both are ultimately just tools. I know I can likely use one for everything I need but I know my workflows with each at this point.

    Best For Discipline

    Something I got my head around early on is letting go of the negative spiral that comes when I know I have been wasting time or being unproductive. Move on and reset. I also find variations of what @Fagin2021 said to be pretty on the money.

    Hiring interns based outside the UK?

    There's a whole heap of variance in here depending on what country you go for. The EU has frameworks and minimums but the actual employment law is largely determined at an individual state level. Take Spain vs Germany for example. In Germany, you're looking at something more akin to a formal...

    Versatile CRM for Diverse Businesses

    You're asking forum members to do a lot of heavy lifting for you on this one but what I will say is that how would any offering you put together differ from the big hitters like hubspot or salesforce?

    Please help with advice?

    You need to request your company's grievance procedure and follow the process for that. On a personal level, I would suspect that if everything you're saying is true, they will already be managing and investigating her. At least any competent HR person/business leader would be if only from it...

    MS Visio

    Miro? Or for something more PM focussed I have been enjoying monday.com and asana. Especially for the client log-in side.

    Billionaire Status

    Eh? I have not changed from anything. Do you really think Amazon warehouse workers are well-treated? The injury rate at Amazon warehouses is nearly twice that of other warehouses in the US. Countless stories of workers hurting themselves, having to skip toilet breaks to meet quotas...

    Billionaire Status

    Sorry but you think Bezos is an ethical billionaire with the working conditions thousands of his employees face? Bill Gates and the Microsoft antitrust lawsuits, Warren Buffett and predatory lending practices.. The list goes on and on. I am not sure we are debating the same thing if you think...

    Billionaire Status

    Do you disagree? Happy to be proven wrong but can you show me a billionaire where this isn't the case?

    Billionaire Status

    Great question and I think the first and major thing to point out is there is simply no way you can "hard work" your way to billionaire status. For a billionaire to exist, there will always be human beings that are horrifically taken advantage of or mistreated somewhere in the supply chain.

    Invoice questions

    I wouldn't over complicate it personally. Just make sure you have clearly told them that they need to amend the invoice in order to be paid and you should be fine. They will want to be paid correctly after all. I doubt if they are unwilling to promptly amend an invoice that they would go through...

    Employment Law courses

    Ah, I get really triggered by non-compete clauses. People feel trapped in jobs because of them. Employees feel that they 'own' someone's ability to earn a living. No judge is going to deprive a persons right to make a living. I think I have heard/seen about them being enforced maybe once or...

    General start up advice

    Bit late to the thread but wanted to added my 2 pence as someone who is an avid gamer. First off, I absolutely love the sound of it and one of my favourite places as a student in Cardiff used to be a gaming centre called V-Sync. It was incredible! All the latest gear, food, drink etc. But...

    Employment Law courses

    It depends on your area, but the CIPD often partners with legal firms to give breakfast briefings, which are usually free. If you're starting from scratch with no background or experience in HR, then definitely outsource. It will be much more affordable than you think!
