Get paid, do good, get paid better

Recruiting talent is haaaaaaaard. Being transparent about compensation and doing due dil across sectors and specific aligned roles are table stakes for getting the right people on board. Recruitment is way competitive, so having some benchmarks might be helpful - albeit these are US based - it at least gives out appropriate ranges and helps orgs be upfront with that cash.

Have a look at the non-profit compensation report here. Then cry tears of joy/pain/meh

Some stories to wrap up the era of Elizabeth II

The national hangover (metaphorical and very real - from what The Purpose saw on it's pub travels on Monday) starts now. Transitioning into the Carolean era, we go. To wrap up, some quirky little stories we've come across over the last week.

• The Queen was quite the technologist - TV, atomic age, email, social media

• About 250,000 queued to see The Queen lying in state

• Well, maybe 249,998 did, we see you Phil n Holly

• How the nation bade farewell in two minutes

• Tattoos of departed Monarch mean charity giving

Could voice unlock cancer diagnosis?

A research project is underway to see if cancer and other diseases could be diagnosed by subtle changes in a person's voice patterns

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) are running research called 'Voice as a Biomarker for Health' which aims to develop an extensive database of the human voice - both healthy and sick - that could be used to train AI algorithms. These could detect signs of cancer, neurological and psychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's, language delay or Autism.
