Our final issue for the year will be our special Worst HR in Local Government issue, or the Golden Turd, as it is more commonly known. It’s eagerly awaited by councils wanting to see how bad others are, so they know where they should go to poach mistreated staff, and by the guilty councils hoping they’ve escaped nomination.

But if we have fewer nominations this year, we have one in particular that has set a new low standard - ignorant of process, impatient to reduce progression in the salary system, bulldozing, intolerant of dissent, unable to reach agreement, and when they do, reneging on it with no understanding or respect that agreements are the cornerstone of well-managed industrial relations. And there’s more.

The HR awards will be published in the week beginning Monday 19 December. Nominations remain open.
