Let the Olympics & Paralympics Inspire Us

How lucky are we to have so many amazing sportspeople shining on the world stage at the Olympics and Paralympics? Watching our incredible athletes push their limits and go for gold is nothing short of inspiring. They remind us of what’s possible when dedication, training, resilience, and passion come together.

Just like the Olympic athletes, our high-performance employees bring that same energy and drive to the workplace. They set the bar high, push themselves (and us!) to be better, and inspire everyone around them. So, what makes these superstars tick, and how can we help them shine even brighter?

As workshops go, it rates as one of the best I have ever been to.

Alarm bells ringing? It doesn’t have to get ugly.

This year, we have seen an increase in the number of disciplinary matters we have helped our clients navigate, particularly at the serious misconduct level. It’s an ugly space to work in and even uglier for our clients as they work through a good faith process to address the incident(s).

Yes, there are some angry employees (and employers) out there. But in my experience, there should be very few reasons why matters would get to the serious misconduct level as the warning signs often show up earlier. You just need to know what to look out for.

Buying or selling a business – there are humans in this equation too

This year we have had several clients acquiring or selling businesses, and we thought it’s timely to revisit one of our most popular newsletter articles (which dates back a few years to 2015 but happens to still be relevant today). It takes important consideration of the ‘human’ side of buying or selling a business. We have given the article a refresh and hope you enjoy it.

The Recruiter’s Guide to Savvy Hires

Don’t ignore the red flags
