  • The importance of employee benefits
    Employer Branding
    The benefits of benefits

    Let’s talk about benefits. Work perks. All those added extras you offer your employees. And no, I’m not talking about the stuff you’re legally entitled to give your people, like holiday allowance, a fair salary and a workplace pension.

    Employer branding & the art of storytelling

    As human beings, we’re automatically drawn to stories. The way an incredible film can move you to tears, the way a TED Talk can inspire you, or the way a friend can have you laughing so hard your stomach starts to hurt.

  • Personality home
    Employer Branding
    It’s not a personality contest

    It’s strange to think that we can actually end up spending more time interacting with our colleagues than we do our friends. And sometimes even our family. People that we have never met before, and may have never met if it weren’t for the organisation we work for.

  • Vulnerable leaders are the best at building trust
    Employer Branding
    It’s time to open up...

    Has work become fundamentally contractual?

    This week’s blog is for the MDs and CEOs out there. Because I want to ask you a very specific question: What is the purpose of your organisation? Your core reason for being?

  • Healthy conflict in cohesive teams
    Employer Branding
    Finding harmony in conflict

    By its very nature, conflict is uncomfortable. That’s probably why so many people instinctively try to avoid it. But I think it’s realistic to say that everyone has, at one point or another, experienced conflict in their workplace. Whether it’s a disagreement over the direction of a project or something as simple as who’s turn it is to clean the coffee maker, conflict is a part of our daily lives.

    Let’s talk people analytics

    While we might all be a bit sick of reading about it - or writing about it, in my case - COVID-19 is still very much a part of our lives. However, with a new year comes a new hope of beating this virus and returning to some form of normalcy.

    How to establish cohesive and high-performing teams

    Have you ever walked along a riverbank as a rowing team glides by? It almost seems effortless, doesn’t it? They cut through the water like a hot knife through butter. They’re completely in sync; eight people rowing as one team. It’s pretty impressive. I think so, anyway!

    Pimp your employee referrals program

    While the recruitment world has changed considerably in the last few years, the power of word-of-mouth recommendations certainly hasn’t. When people have a good experience, they invite friends and family to do the same, which is why employee referrals have become one of the most popular and most productive ways for organisations to find top talent.

    21st century candidates

    We love to talk about millennials in the recruitment world, don’t we? Generation Z too. Digital natives; tech savvy; social media experts, the lot of them. These generations changed the workplace, with their disruptive trends, entrepreneurial spirit and innovative ideas. But before long, there will be a new generation in town. And they’re really going to shake things up.

    Employer Branding
    Your EVP matters more now than ever before

    Think back to 2019; a pre-pandemic world. We thought we understood the world of recruitment. It was comfortable. Predictable. We thought we knew what we wanted as employers. We thought candidates knew what they wanted too. We thought nothing could ever change. We thought wrong.

    Employer Branding, Social Media
    The biggest friend you have right now in recruitment is social media

    It’s no exaggeration to say that social media has changed the world. It has changed the way we communicate, the way we govern and are governed, the way we do business, the way we respond to disasters. And, of course, it has changed the way we find and attract new talent.
