Chris Drake, Managing Partner at Horton International UK, was recently featured in Recruiter Magazine, where he shared his hopes for policy outcomes from the UK General Election on 4th July. Chris shared: “As an executive search and interim management firm with a well-established Infrastructure & Energy Practice, and a certified member of 1% for the Planet [members contribute at least 1% of their annual revenue to environmental causes to protect the environment], we hope that the next government prioritises infrastructure and renewable energy investment. As well as benefits for the labour market and job creation, this will also support economic growth, improve public services, and help tackle the climate crisis. Measures to expedite infrastructure delivery and increase Renewable Energy capacity are vital for promoting sustainable growth and securing a better future for all.” Following the election, Chris commented: "It was very pleasing to see the new Labour government's proposed Planning & Infrastructure Bill and Great British Energy Bill in The King's Speech, as well as an underlying commitment to 'get Britain building'. Watch this space!" Read the full article:https://lnkd.in/e7jrYx-i Drake Darcy | Horton International - UK #Recruitment #Infrastructure  #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #JobCreation

In today’s fast-paced world, balancing work and personal life is challenging. Truly disconnecting during holidays/vacations is essential for mental health, productivity, and overall wellbeing. The busier you are, the more you need time off to prevent burnout. Studies show taking breaks reduces stress, lowers heart disease risk, and boosts productivity. In the US, 52% of employees work while on PTO, and over 765 million vacation days go unused. Effective disconnection and setting clear boundaries are crucial for true rest and relaxation.
