Many people aspire to become a parent, however, infertility is becoming more common. On average one in six couples are impacted by fertility challenges in the UK1.

Digital learning has come a long way since ‘eLearning’ was coined, in 1999 by educational technology expert Elliott Masie.
As we shift to a post-pandemic world, there is an increasing lens on the world of digital learning and how it will continue to play a crucial role in workplace learning and development in 2022 and beyond.
To explore this further, The Access Group attended this year’s Learning Technologies event - Europe's leading showcase of organisational learning and professional development. With over 9,000 attendees from 50 different countries and over 200 seminars, it’s fair to say it’s a pretty big deal on the learning and development (L&D) calendar.
Don’t worry if you missed it, this quick rundown will bring you up to speed with the biggest trends in the digital learning and development space right now, and how your business can stay ahead of the competition.

Following on from Mental Health Awareness Week this month, we can reflect back on the fantastic initiatives’ organisations have run to highlight the importance of mental health.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is focused on protecting consumer interest in terms of how the rule of law and the administration of justice is delivered. Any law firm or practising solicitor could appear on the SRA’s radar at any time regarding areas of compliance, which could result in a visit as part of the regulator’s Thematic Review programme.
Most law firms consistently do their best to ensure they achieve the highest possible professional standards, embed ethical values within their businesses and remain fully compliant with their regulatory obligations. Most of the people at the law firms we speak to, even if they haven’t yet had an SRA visit, know the SRA is a very active regulator, and taking short cuts or box-ticking is a very short-sighted approach to compliance management. But some firms are not so well-prepared and often reach out for help.

Many people leaders are all too familiar with the additional HR challenges that can arise at Christmas time, from constant enquiries about payday to dips in productivity, last-minute annual leave requests and potential Christmas party fallout.
But that’s all in the Christmas past for many, who likely manage (and therefore pre-empt) any festive related HR issues in their HR software. So that’s Christmas present handled too.
But how do HR managers prepare for a Christmas future yet to come, and avoid being haunted by failed HR strategies that came before? Can you judge how successful your HR strategy has been this year for example, and make decisions on where to focus next year?
