Engaging a Recruiter - What You Need to Know First

26:58

Hello and welcome to Episode 124 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In today’s episode of the podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the inner workings of a recruitment agency. I know many businesses are looking to recruiters in the current market to help them find great staff. But, like all industries not all recruiters are created equally and there is certainly the good, bad and the ugly in the industry.

So today we look at the different model’s recruitment agencies use, what to look out for when determining what’s best for you, as well as the things to ask and consider before signing anything!

If you’re considering using a recruiter, or would like to contribute to the discussion on this topic, I have a special invitation for you.

Flexibility Is The New Norm

23:03

Hello and welcome to Episode 123 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In today’s episode of the podcast, we’re discussing workplace flexibility, and the fact that no longer is it a ‘perk’ but a baseline expectation of employees. Whether it’s location flexibility, hours flexibility or other aspects of a role that employees are looking for flexibility with, there is no denying the fact that the need to offer flexibility is critical to being able to attract and retain top talent, and to a productive and engaged workforce.

So how are you baking in flexibility to your workplace? I’d love to hear, and I have a special invitation for where you can join us to share your experiences:

The Hidden Benefits of Investing in Training and Upskilling Your People

24:27

Hello and welcome to Episode 115 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

Today we’re talking about the hidden benefits of investing in training, developing and upskilling your staff.

For a long time there has been a misconception that learning and skill development is an employees responsibility. But times have changed, and I’m going to challenge you on that. The reality is the skills that got the employee to us, and to where they are now, are likely not the skills that we need in them in the future, so it really is our responsibility to develop their skills and provide the training they will need to be successful in our workplace in the future.

For many businesses, training is seen as a cost, but when done correctly it really is an investment, not only in the individual employee, but in the business.
