Career development planning within the education sector requires a unique and strategic approach. March is a busy time for schools and educators—between managing student stress levels, preparing for exams, and planning post-16 pathways, career development often takes a backseat. 

At CWR, we work with schools, teachers, and education leaders to create clear, actionable career development plans that support both staff and students. 

Career development planning isn’t just about setting long-term goals—it’s about making strategic decisions that align with business objectives and individual growth. March is the perfect time to focus on this, as businesses and individuals reflect on the past financial year and begin planning for the future. 

This February, we’re focusing on a topic that’s top of mind for many businesses and individuals: redundancy. Whether you’re facing redundancy or considering restructuring your business, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. 

We’ve prepared our insights for both businesses and individuals should this be something you’re facing, and as well as reading our blog, we invite you to join us on Tuesday 25^th February for a 30 minute webinar where we’ll discuss this topic further!

As the new year begins, many of us naturally reflect on where we are and consider whether change is needed. Whether it’s individuals seeking career shifts, businesses re-evaluating strategies, or students preparing for educational transitions, January is a time for decisions that can shape the year ahead. We've been reflecting on the opportunities and challenges of change, and we’ve shared some insights to help you navigate this season with confidence and clarity. 

With recent changes in sexual harassment legislation, employers are now more accountable for creating safe, respectful workplaces than ever before. At CWR Consultancy, we’re here to help businesses understand and adapt to these updates. In our latest LinkedIn webinar, we explored the implications of these legislative changes, providing practical guidance on how to protect employees and maintain compliance. 

Since starting CWR, we’ve always aimed to evolve to meet our client’s needs, and I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates with you.

With Labour's ascent, the UK labour market is undergoing significant change, making it essential to remain informed and prepare your business. Our Labour Market Review LinkedIn Live delved into the anticipated shifts in employment law and workers' rights under Labour's ‘Plan to Make Work Pay’. Expert Paul Chamberlain from JMW Solicitors, joined recruitment experts Ruth Forster, Phillippa Hart and Charlotte Sykes, to examine potential legislation changes as touched on in the King’s Speech, including zero hours contracts, day one rights, and flexible working arrangements. This was more than a market review; it was an in-depth analysis of changes that will impact employment.
