Helpful resources
We have put together a range of resources for you. They cover books, websites from PPMA Partners and Sponsors and videos. We’ve provided you with a mixture of materials to broaden your understanding of Coronavirus.
Some of the reading is broader than usual HR & OD materials as we think the material will be relevant to the work we will need to do as we recover from the Coronavirus pandemic.
We hope you find these resources helpful. But we also encourage you to share resources that you think our colleagues would be interested in.
