My first meeting this morning is with a group of HR managers who want to talk about diversity. They also want to share a large box of pastries. This is highlight number one of the day. I am hopeful there will be more. I am interested to hear their thoughts about staff retention, in particular patent attorneyette retention, and how you persuade people to come back to work when they’ve taken time out to dabble in a bit of child care. This is quite hard to do, because they will have got used to enjoying getting up in the morning. So you have to be prepared to offer all sorts of sweeteners like part-time working and remote working and never having to worry about becoming senior partner. And to add insult to injury, you have to help them get their clients back from the people who have not taken time off and been quite enjoying the increased billing figures thank you. It is all very complicated.
