Small & medium business

Would you recommend your profession to anyone in your family?

Girl doing cartwheels

As research reveals almost three in 10 HR professionals would try to deter their children from a similar job, is this statistic a true reflection of every household in the UK?

The research, conducted by HR consultancy Hudson found that many would face better career opportunities and higher pay elsewhere, but surely this can be said of most jobs which aren’t your own.

This ‘grass is always greener’ philosophy can’t just be confined to the realms of HR. Usually the reason you’re deterred from a profession is because it’s hard work, but what if you like hard work?

If you really want to do something you’re likely do it no matter what the conditions. Flexible working schemes are a great incentive, but can they really make you change your mind about your career choice?
