Everton Under-21s midfielder Isaac Heath has signed a two-year professional contract until June 2025.    The 18-year-old joined Everton from hometown club Leeds United in 2019 and has developed at an impressive rate during his four years on Merseyside.    A versatile player comfortable in multiple roles, it is as an attacking midfielder and winger where Heath has featured and thrived most for the young Blues.    He made 15 appearances for Leighton Baines’ Under-18s last season, scoring two goals.     After signing his first professional Everton deal, Heath told evertontv: “I’m very happy. Getting a professional contract is something I’ve been trying to achieve my whole life and to finally get it feels like a big achievement, I’m delighted to get it over the line.”    Heath’s performances for the Under-18s led to opportunities to train and play for Paul Tait’s Under-21s side and he finished the season having made seven Premier League 2 appearances.       The teenager revealed he has been working hard during the summer to give himself the best chance to thrive playing at that higher level consistently in 2023/24.  “Under-21s football is quite a lot faster,” Heath explained. “Obviously, it’s a lot more physical, too, as you’re getting closer

Another day, another social media platform has launched. Yes, enter 'Threads', a potential new contender for the Twitter crown, launched by Meta, parent company of Instagram and Facebook.A virtual battle of sorts between Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Elon Musk, Threads is the latest digital gauntlet thrown down - and you might be wondering whether, as a leader in the HR space, you and your staff should be jumping on the bandwagon.You also might have sighed with exhaustion at the very thought of another social media platform, and you won't have been alone, especially as you probably saw the annoucement of the new 'Threads' on either Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.Now, LinkedIn is a more unusual option. It doesn't describe itself and isn't described as social media. But the growing trend for confessional posts, selfies and 'my dog' pics on there does imply that it's being used more like a social media platform, even if not in name.The same is true on the flip side - where once Instagram was just about your dinner photos, it's now undeniably a networking tool, and TikTok is a rising star in the recruitment and HR fields.Entrepreneur and host of the Diary

The founding director of the Smithsonian's forthcoming American Women's History Museum has withdrawn from the role less than four months after her appointment was announced, following allegations that she mishandled sexual harassment allegations at her former workplace, she said Wednesday. In a statement posted to her LinkedIn page, Nancy Yao said she was withdrawing from the position due to family issues, including her father being in hospice care and her "two wonderful teenagers needing my support." She also cited recent coverage in The Washington Post reporting that under her leadership, the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) — where she previously served as president — settled three wrongful-termination lawsuits by former employees who claimed they were fired in retaliation for reporting allegations of sexual harassment by senior male staffers towards young female staffers. The two men who the staffers accused of harassment kept their jobs at the museum, and Yao later promoted one, The Washington Post reported in its April investigation. Yao "vigorously denied" retaliating against the whistleblowers and the lawsuits were settled without admission of wrongdoing by Yao or the museum, the newspaper reported. "I want to be honest and mention that another factor influenced my decision — the recent articles
