How to Get Your Staff Back on Track After Summer Holidays

The summer months aren’t best known for being the most productive of seasons in the workplace and output can often take a bit of a slide during the holiday season! We’ve pretty much hit the final quarter of the year now, so if you want to make sure you smash your business goals, it’s worth taking a little time out to assess how you can get things back on track. Let’s take a look at what you can do, in practical terms, to get the final quarter off to a…

Dont ignore Dickie!

When you think of influential people from the world of business, Richard Branson is a name that’s likely to feature pretty high up on your list. With a multi-billion pound empire that has included transport, music, and even his own private island getaway retreat, he certainly knows a thing or two about creating and sustaining huge success. With that in mind, it might pay to carefully consider his latest comments on the value of mentoring. Speaking via a recorded message to an event on mentoring hosted by Purple Cubed, he…

Improving performance is as easy as 123

Improving Performance is as easy as 123 Ok, maybe not! But it doesn’t take a business guru to tell you that if you want your company to thrive, you need to make sure that your staff are firing on all cylinders. Of course, though, as is often the case when it comes to the tricky business of managing people, this can be much easier said than done. If you want to achieve big things, you need clear and effective processes in place to help you to get there. Your line…

Three quickfire tips to improve health and wellbeing amongst your employees

At this time of year, many of us are madly last-minute dieting and boot-camping, in a quest to be beach ready for our Summer hols. The selection boxes have been ditched in favour of kale smoothies, the wine bottles have been drained, and avocado and chia seeds are right back at the top of the shopping list! You’ve probably already considered your own health and fitness, but have you thought about the health and wellbeing of your employees? If you want your team to be firing on all cylinders, then…

Thank you guys!

Rewarding employee success and achievement Your staff are your lifeblood. They get up every day. They come to work. They give you their absolute best. They hit all their targets and look after your customers -always with a smile. And in return, they don’t ask for much. But what they do want is success, recognition, and all the perks that go along with being the best. Not too much to ask, is it? Unfortunately, a lack of engagement and a lack of recognition for the work they put in, are…

Creating your brand story in the war for talent

STOP PRESS…STOP PRESS….LAST FEW FREE TICKETS REMAINING FOR MY WORKSHOP Even in a buoyant recruitment economy, leading businesses know that if they want to excel, they need to ensure that they’re recruiting and retaining the very best people for their roles. In trickier economic times, attracting and keeping the best people becomes exponentially more important. And when companies attempt to sell an inaccurate or inauthentic brand to potential employees, it could cost them in both the long-term and short-term when it comes to talent attraction, employee engagement and employee retention.…

How to deliver a killer 121

If you manage people you should be having regular 121’s with them. End of. Full stop. No debate. I won’t be shifted on this matter! What 121s aren’t are project review meetings – they should not be about status updates on projects and tasks. There are plenty of other places to talk about those things. The 121 meeting is all about the team member; their needs, their frustrations, their feedback, their ideas, and career growth are the topics of discussion. I cannot emphasise enough how terribly important these regular sessions…

Business GrowtH(R)

Hello boys and girls. Sit down, and let me tell you a story. Are you comfy? Good, then I’ll begin….. There once was a beautiful boutique business run by a passionate and hard-working entrepeneur. Thanks to a mountain of hard work, blood, sweat and tears, the business is now going ‘great guns; turnover is up, orders are flooding in, they’ve moved into plush new offices, hired a great new team and it truly feels like the world is their proverbial oyster*. But, what’s that? Suddenly and without warning, this fairytale…

Why I’m fed up with the gig economy bashers

Over the last decade the gig economy has transformed the way we work and do business. Access to remote working has changed the definition of work and the workplace dramatically. Advances in technology continue to facilitate flexible and remote working, and austerity measures are a reality for us all. This has meant that employers have had to become super savvy about slashing costs by cutting back on fixed costs – one such option is replacing permanent staff with freelancers. I would argue that the rise of the freelance nation has…

How am I going to get this people stuff delivered?

A recent study found that small business owners are on the brink of a burnout due to their heavy workload. SME leaders and managers are close to hitting boiling point because of the stress and pressure that comes from running a small business. Just under a half (47%) of the business owners cited their lack of time as the main source of the work stress and pressure. So, I always say a problem shared is a problem halved. You don’t need to struggle on, breaking your back. There are alternatives,…
