I won’t pretend it hasn’t been a while since I sat down to write a proper update. The honest reason is that we have been genuinely flat out — and while that’s a good problem to have, it does mean the blog has taken a back seat. So here’s a proper catch-up on everything that has been happening at Rebox HR so far this year.
