Today is the 1st December and is officially the beginning of advent, and as we count down the days until we pop open the Champagne and give gifts to our loved ones, now is the perfect time to spread some festive joy!
In the spirit of HR acts of kindness, I thought it’d be a great idea to launch a virtual advent calendar to get you all in the festive mood whilst putting smiles on people’s faces; so each day up until Christmas Eve, I will be setting you all one simple challenge a day.

Brexit started a lot of things when it was announced over two years ago, and since then it has caused a lot of controversy and divided the nation. Irrespective of your political views on Brexit, one good thing that came out of it was that it inspired HR acts of kindness.
Never could have I anticipated how well received the project would be at a time when surrounded by uncertainty, shock and anger; and as we continue to face challenging times as a whole, may be this project gave some hope through the HR community. Therefore, I wanted to make it a much more permanent feature on my blog and support our profession with one small act of kindness at a time. Every Monday morning, there will be a new HR Act of Kindness challenge set for the week and as always, I’d love to hear your stories by sharing them right here on the blog.
