Human resources

New!
PPA members can now access the HR network group knowledge exchange here. The exchange allows users to view an archive of HR questions and answers and to ask questions of their own.

Magazine and professional media publishing is a growing sector and the last 10 years have seen phenomenal growth in the number of printed titles as well as developments in new media. Growth brings rapid change and companies are compelled to find ways to manage this growth, keep business development sustainable and stay competitive.

Publishers know that the key to making their business a success is their people. Investing in people and maximising their potential helps creates a stable working environment and publishers reap the benefits of increased motivation and creativity.

To help publishers make the most of their people, PTC faciltates a Human Resources and Training Network Group. The group offers those working in human resources and training a valuable opportunity to share experiences with their contemporaries.

The online knowledge exchange helps with information sharing in between meetings and an HR toolkit called 'PPA Skills for Business: People Management' has been developed to help publishers manage their employees in the best way possible.
