Cath Everett
Freelance Journalist
have been a journalist and editor since 1992, working initially in print before moving to the online world in 1996, which included a two-year term as US Bureau Chief based in San Francisco, California, for a high-profile daily technology news website.
On my return to the UK in 2000, I decided to harness my experience by becoming a freelance journalist/editor for a varied range of publications. This scenario gave me the opportunity to broaden my field of work to include copy- and report-writing as well as developing a wide selection of marketing materials.
I returned in-house in 2011 to become editor of the HRZone.com online publication and community, which is aimed at HR professionals. Here I was responsible for an editorial revamp and contributed to a website redesign before moving to South Africa in early 2013 for my husband’s work. During the two years spent in the country, I wrote a widely-read weekly blog for International Business Times (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/reporters/cath-everett) and also undertook a range of charity work. Activities here included devising a content strategy for an educational development NGO as well as training and further developing the writing skills of its employees.
I resumed my freelance career in the UK in January 2015 and, in my time, have written, among others, for The Times/Raconteur, the Guardian, International Business Times, BusinessGreen.com, HR magazine, Personnel Today, diginomica.com, Computer Weekly and myCustomer.com.
I also used to edit the Global Payroll Association's content website, GPA.Live, and www.spiritofeastanglia.com, a website aimed at people seeking personal growth whose content was provided by a community of health and wellbeing practitioners in East Anglia.

- How technology can help boost employee mental health and wellbeing - and why smart employers are taking notice30 May—diginomicaWork presents a complex relationship with mental health. On one hand, it can positively impact employee wellbeing when the working environment feels safe, supportive, inclusive, and workloads remain manageable. On the other hand, it can actively harm mental health when these conditions are absent. An estimated 12 billion working days are lost each year to depression and anxiety – although not all of it is work-induced. Nonetheless, these conditions cost the global economy about $1 trillion...
