Paul Nowak, Deputy General Secretary of the Trade’s Union Council.

What would make me really happy is for the government to bring forward that employment bill and to talk to unions and employers in advance of them publishing a White Paper about what should go in it and I would like the Prime Minister to take his promise that we had around the Brexit debate about not just protecting employment rights, but extending and enhancing employment rights in this country.

About

Why I started Oven-Ready HR:

I think work can be happier, healthier, more purposeful and rewarding if organisations move towards more progressive employment policies that represent the interests of ordinary workers not just those privileged enough to lead.

Why the HR focus?

Well HR is the function of an organisation tasked with all things worker related so it makes sense to tell stories that have a broad HR focus.

Oven-Ready’s purpose

Our purpose is to help shine a light on the positives and negatives of the workplace and encourage new thinking. Big ambitions for sure, but we have to start somewhere right?
