Furloughed or not?

Wed, 29 Apr 2020 12:00:00 +0100

If you asked someone a couple of months ago what the word ‘furlough’ meant, you’d have struggled to get an answer. These days, it’s on everyone’s lips… including ours as we put together the latest episode of the Chattercast. This time around, we catch up with some of the guys here at Chatter to find out how it feels to be furloughed, what it’s like being part of the team who are still on the frontline, and how we think the current situation around Covid-19 might play out.

Alex - An account manager at chatter who is still working

Emma - An account manager at chatter who has been furloughed

Fi - An account partner, here to keep the conversation flowing.

We hope this episode will give you great insight into the effects of furloughing from both perspectives, as well as gaining some wider insight on the potential effects of Covid-19 in the HR sector.

Apprenticeships Through The Generations

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 13:00:00 +0000

This month, International Women’s Day had us thinking about the inspirational women at Chatter. We thought it would be a great idea to check in with some of them to find out how they’ve made a roaring success of their careers - without actually going to university.

In this episode we will be chatting through the transition from school to work from the perspective of 3 generations of "apprentices" who went straight into work after school...

Saskia - who joined Chatter straight from school on an apprenticeship scheme

Lisa - who completed a YTS (youth training scheme) in communications, advertising & marketing

Shirley - Who took a job straight out of school and studied while working (also Lisa's mum)

We hope this episode will give you great insight into why people choose apprenticeships over university, and could inform your recruitment decisions.
