Spotting the bullies

A couple of weeks ago it was national Anti-bullying week and children around the country are wearing odd socks and celebrating what makes them, and others, unique and why it’s important to be able to be themselves without fear of bullying. The tagline is ‘All Different, All Equal’ and it’s heartening to see such a progressive attitude towards the prevention of bullying amongst our younger people. So why then do over 91% of employees report that that their employer did not deal with the consequences of social bullying at work?*…

Companies With Women Executives Perform Better – So Why Has Representation Stagnated?

The results of the Pipeline’s Women Count 2017 survey were recently published, and they raise some pretty interesting and important questions about female leadership, and the progress we’re making towards ensuring that women are given the opportunity to thrive in senior roles. It was found that FTSE 350 companies with at least 25% of women on the leadership committees delivered almost twice the profit margin as those with no women on the team – the companies with no women on the leadership board achieving worst of all surveyed. It’s safe…

Could your business make better use of freelancers?

Thursday 8th June marks National Freelancers Day, and independent professionals up and down the country will celebrate the fact that they boldly work for themselves. It’s estimated that there are around 2 million freelancers operating in the UK, and they’ve had their fair share of press recently. With the gig economy being a key topic of conversation, and firms like Uber and Deliveroo coming under scrutiny for how they treat the people working for them, it’s clear that the world of work is changing fast, and the face of employment…

Will Facebook’s New Jobs Feature Make LinkedIn Obsolete?

For the past couple of years, LinkedIn has well and truly had a monopoly when it comes to being the social network of choice for recruiters and small business owners on the lookout for top new talent. With the new changes recently announced from Facebook though, the more ‘professional network’ might have a fight on its hands. Of course, many business owners have been using Facebook for recruitment more informally for quite some time now. We’ve all seen the posts from companies letting their followers know that they’re hiring. The…

You only want to recruit the best people don’t you?

1.Before you even think about employing someone, make sure you write a clear job description outlining their Key Responsibility Area’s (KRA’s) that also details the Key Competencies or Skills they need to perform in their role. A good way to test whether the job description you have written makes sense, is to ask someone else to read it. If they can tell you what the person will be doing in their role and what skills they need, then you have written a good Job Description. If they can’t tell you…

Snacking and why its important………..

We all know how hard it is to find good people at the moment, and it’s all the little extras that employers are offering that are making people decide whether to work for you or go elsewhere to your competitors. Because of this, lots of my clients are working with me to look at what they can do or offer their existing employees or potential employees to make them more attractive, and one of those things is FOOD! If you want your team to become as productive as possible, you…

What you really need to know about offering work experience….

The idea of giving local young people the opportunity to get a taste of the world of employment can be an appealing one, for many reasons. Offering work experience roles can strengthen your reputation, give you an immense amount of satisfaction, and ensure that you’re playing your part in creating a skilled workforce for the future. When you get down to the nitty gritty though, it can become tempting to ditch the idea completely. The process traditionally involves a ton of red tape and jumping through hoops, so however…
