Costi Karayannis, Managing Director of Learning Services at Capita, explains how our ‘Re-imagining HR’ survey shows we’re at a pivotal moment and must fundamentally change the role of learning and development to re-skill staff in the post-pandemic world.

Retail technology is perhaps one of the fastest growing industries coming out of the pandemic, with digitisation being one of the key aspects of this transformation.

I joined the education team at Capita earlier this year, after working for over 30 years in secondary education, including spending eight years as a headteacher of a comprehensive school.

One of the perks of my job is working with great people from the UK employability industry.

We’re living through possibly the biggest change in working patterns since the industrial revolution.

There is a consensus that the world needs more learning – whether it’s part of society building back better, responding to the future of work in the short term, or equipping the next generation to step into the jobs that we do not yet know about.

Peter Wallace, Managing Director of HR Solutions at Capita, shares his thoughts on employee engagement during the pandemic and beyond.

Localised employability programmes will be just as important as technology in the UK’s return to work. However, to succeed ‘for the people’, they absolutely must be ‘by the people’.

Very often when I look around in meetings, virtual or physical, I’m aware that I am the only one representing my gender. For a very long time, I didn’t consider this as being anything unusual as it just was the norm.

The office has changed, and it’s unlikely to return to the way it was before Covid-19 struck.
