Editorial
 Editor's noteWelcome to HRZone.co.uk, an online network of 25,000 HR professionals with the UK's most active online human resources community. Whilst the UK summer usually offers 'blink and you miss them' sunny days, this can still contribute to an increase in absence from work and can cost businesses thousands in lost productivity. So, Annie Hayes reports on how HR can stop staff pulling a suspicious summer 'sickie'. Meanwhile, Chris Phillips advises on how employers can care for staff who are also full-time carers after hours, which can place a huge strain on their wellbeing and productivity at work. Plus in our HR tip this week, we discuss what to do when an employee demands another copy of their contract of employment, some years after joining the company. Rounding off our week, Donna Murphy asks whether you know how to find the knowledge in your organisation. Plus, Dr Domniki Demetriadou and Dr Steven Lindner discuss the costs involved with recruitment process outsourcing.
