HR and CSR in times of gig-economy
Somers Town (Camden) based Elephant Path launches an experimental enterprise that offers micro-services to tackle office stress and economic inactivity. During their working life, employees spend on average a third of their waking hours at their desk. This explains why domestic duties also have to be performed here - which adds to stress at work. Research has shown that office-based workers spend on average 1hour 20minutes of their 8h working day organising personal activities.
Heritage, Culture, Knowledge (some missing!) and Cutting-Edge Technology by Dr. Jim Walsh
When building Conway Hall in 1929, the bronze bust of Moncure Conway went missing and the building’s entrance niche was left empty for 87 years. In 2016, however, a 3D print bronze-effect bust of Conway was unveiled, courtesy of a year-long project to restore this missing piece of heritage. In June 2017, the story continued with the launching of the publically available 3D print software of the bust thanks to Conway Hall, Dickinson College (Philadelphia, USA) and My Mini Factory’s Scan The World project.
