We still dont get it! Technology and Social media are meant to be instant and immediate, feeding into the gen Z way of life barreling towards us at break neck speed if we like it or not. So my new years resolution is to be quick and be off. Happy new Year!

Ever said that about a place you worked at. I know I have over the years. But what is interesting is that I never told management how much I hated working there and even worse, they never asked. Much can be learnt from the opinions of employees AFTER they leave the building, but when done in-house, you rarely, if ever get an accurate responce. This is an area where you really should use a consultant. At Parting Company, we have a range of programs that will gather your information and work with you to improve or understand an employees responces. Dont leave it another year, talk to us today about 2014. 

As your business grows you may need to employ additional staff with different skills or even employ staff for the first time. Making the right choice and ensuring you meet your obligations to your employees can ensure your business continues to succeed. Before you employ anyone new you really need to do your homework on the type of person that you want and not just from a skills perspective - perhaps the most important question is what kind of person fits into the culture of your organisation. Who do you need on your 'bus' and what skills and personality type will fit your culutre. We can help, we want your business to succeed.

As another great baby boomer, Lou Reed dies, I am reminded again of the fragility of our generation. I am fortunate to be on the cusp of boomer and gen x but as a management issue, the on going challenge for business is to creat adaptive workplaces that can give us the opportunity to work longer into our years, as many of us will now need to, but  be flexible and adaptive to changing health needs. I have a personal and professional  interest in this issue,  so please contact me to dicuss further if you do also.
