Latest People Management Cover a disgrace

Katie Nalty

Hi All,

I have just received the latest People Management magazine and I am absolutely outraged by the cover which mimics a real solicitors letter addressing a case of unfair dismissal.

I am absolutely horrified that the CIPD would do something as stupid as this!

My building has a communal post service and I would  hate for my neighbours to think my company were gulity of such a thing, more so I feel for HR professionals who have their magazine posted to their work places as I can't imagine the idle gossip it could cause.

I will certainly be taking this matter further and hope that such a well respected professional body would not act so recklessly In future, I am sure other subscribers feel the same way.

  • I've got to say, I was really shocked by the cover this time around. I normally keep the magazines in full view on my desk so managers can browse if they so wish, but this one is well and truly locked in a drawer - the content is great, but the cover is just a bit over the line for me.

    We suffer a lot from 'the quick glance' in HR - you all know what I mean, employees/managers come in to ask something and some just can't resist trying to suss out what you're up to (who's getting the boot? are we getting a salary review? did Joe Bloggs go to HR like he said he would last Tuesday at lunchtime?). My immediate thought was that the millisecond glance across my desk could quickly turn into 'OMG you'll never guess what I saw on HR's desk this morning! someone is taking us to court!'

    *I should also add that of course, I don't just leave confidential docs laying around on my desk :)

    Although for a quick Friday giggle... I'm currently staying with a parent and upon returning home (where I have it delivered) they promptly asked why I had tribunal documents arriving at their house! Very, very funny stuffing the offending magazine in their face to explain no, HR do not receive legal documents to their home addresses, no, employees do not know where I/they live, and yes, things like that would always go to work...!
