The January 2012 edition of our HR magazine, Hourglass, is out now. We look at the importance of a happy workforce and also highlight how to get the best from secondments.

In our regular HR director profile feature we talk to Ann Pickering of Telefonica UK, the owner of mobile network provider O2. She tells us about the challenges of managing people in a huge UK employer with a Madrid-based parent.

With the economies of many countries looking less than healthy in 2012, redundancies are still very much in the news. In this edition we look at the issues faced by HR professionals when breaking the bad news to employees.

We also examine how workplace romances can create potential issues for HR, and look at the best ways of minimising the impact when employees get into relationships.
