Addressing the gender pay gap that persists among over 40s
Men and women in the same job, performing the same work, must be paid the same. This principle is enshrined in law in the Equality Act 2010. It doesn’t matter what job you do, if you’re doing equal work, you need to receive equal pay – unless any difference in pay can be justified. Despite […]

Do You Know Your Own Heart?
Friday September the 29th is World Heart Day, but how well do you know your own heart? Let’s start with how brilliant it is, biologically. Your heart starts beating four weeks after conception and then beats up to 100, 000 times per day, on average through your adult years. Over a lifetime that’s about 2.5 […]

Business Analogies applied to Football
Like many middle-aged men I was brought up on sport, particularly football. As an ex-HR Director I’ve sat in many workshops listening to sporting metaphors and wondered what has business management got to do with elite sport? More recently I’ve started to wonder whether the business model we, at Complete, use for Team Development applies […]

Why teams fail and how to fix it
We’ve all worked in teams that fall short of their promise. On paper, each person’s experience might be perfect for the job, but somehow the team never gels. Deadlines are missed, it’s hard to make decisions, people start blaming each other for lack of progress and, in the end, they distance themselves until the team […]

Managers affect our work stress as much as our spouse … and what to do about it
A third of our lives are spent at work, so it’s hardly surprising it can be a source of stress. However, 60% of employees say their job is the biggest factor influencing their mental health. And specifically, managers are having just as much impact on people’s mental health as their spouse. This stress carries on […]

Advice on men’s mental health from the men of Complete
It’s National Men’s Health Week. Healthy bodies, hard exercise, good diet, and regular visits to the doctor are all things we associate with keeping healthy. However, it is important to understand that mental health is just as important. Last year, we asked the men of Complete to give advice on how you can find the […]

Breathe … on Clean Air Day
The World Health Organisation and the UK Government recognise that air pollution is the largest environmental health risk we face today. That’s why they’re taking action with Clean Air Day. It’s something that matters to us at Complete too – particularly because we talk so much about the value of breathing. Breathing – in the […]

Tackling environmental challenges is multi-dimensional
The theme for the UN’s World Environment Day on 5th June 2023 is #BeatPlasticPollution. This environmental challenge has gained more and more attention as we have discovered the extent of the problem. Large plastic items have obvious consequences, but microplastics (less then 5mm in length) are increasingly being researched. Microplastics have been found throughout the […]

Rewilding … a company not the countryside
Strictly speaking, rewilding is about letting nature take care of itself. It’s a progressive approach to conservation that aims to restore and protect the natural processes and wilderness areas. However, at Complete, we believe the principles of rewilding can successfully be applied to organisations. In fact, we run our company on the environmental theory of […]

Why checking your heart rate could be the key to leadership development
On World Health Day, we explore why your heart rate is inextricably linked to your leadership performance. Leadership development is usually about assessments, training courses, secondments and coaching. That’s all valid, but we believe that your heart rate – or more specifically heart rate variability (HRV) – could be key to understanding and transforming performance. […]

Bottling happiness
March 20th is the International Day of Happiness – a global event sponsored by the United Nations to promote the idea of being happy as a human right and to nurture and celebrate it. We all instinctively try to pursue ‘happiness’. Each one of us will have different strategies, some more productive than others. How […]

Leading through connecting and curiosity
I confess, I am an out and proud science geek! This week is British Science Week, so it got me thinking about the role science has played in my life and work. As a kid I always pestered my parents with the question – “Why?”. Luckily my dad knew a lot, so he often fed […]

Lessons in coaching women in leadership
Last year, I wrote a blog about how system justice is at the heart of greater diversity. It generated quite a lot of interest. On World Day of Social Justice, it’s a topic I am keen to return to. Social justice is about much more than diversity, it’s about the many inequalities in our society. […]

Achieving a mutual understanding
We’ve talked a lot recently about the importance of empathy (see the era of the empathetic boss) and appreciating diversity. Much of what we’ve discussed has centred on understanding and creating a mutual understanding. It’s something that’s at the heart of the UN’s International Day of Fraternity too (4 February 2023). Reaching a mutual understanding […]

Trust: elusive but essential
According to Edelman’s annual Trust Barometer, our trust in public organisations is not just on a slow, but marked decline. In fact, in 2022 for the first time, businesses were more trusted than government or the media, and even NGOs. However, the result is nothing to be proud of. Only 61% of survey respondents said […]
