We certainly live in a society today where people are becoming accustomed to getting what they want or what they need to know almost instantly.
I have realised this for some time and have often pondered what this means for our clients and our service. Recently I noticed a poster in a cafe advertising a particular app for placing your coffee order and it got me thinking of all the…

At times we can feel overwhelmed by the frustration or hurt we believe has been caused by a colleague who has shown a lack of consideration, displayed inappropriate behaviours, used offensive language or is just not ‘playing fair’ as part of a team. Repeated small incidents plant the seed for workplace conflict. With no resolution strategy, the gap between you and your colleague widens and your emotions more strongly influence your perspective on the…

This blog looks at what can we learn from a Fair Work Commission decision dated 5 December 2014. The case was Jacqueline Lumley v Bremick Pty Ltd Australia t/a Bremick Fasteners (C2014/5516).
Reoccurring conflict between the same two parties may be grounds for dismissal if all reasonable steps have been taken to resolve the matter underpinning the conflict, but the conflict is continuing.
All reasonable steps would…

Every day, I feel very lucky to do what I love doing – for work.
Growing up I wanted to be a nurse (like my mum) or an accountant (my dad taught economics). Somehow I ended up in Human Resources – which if you think about it, is kind of a hybrid of both.
I didn’t start with HR in mind, but it’s my dream job. Of that, I’m…

The Leader’s Medium: People
A potter shapes a lump of clay, a cellist plays a cello, and a sculptor carves a block of marble. It’s their medium; it's what they use to get their work done.
Their professional journey from novice to master is best described by their refined understanding of what they can get from their medium. They know what it can do. And often more importantly, from all their mistakes over many years, they have also learnt what it cannot…

It’s no fun dealing with an employee whose work is just not up to scratch. But unfortunately, it’s one of those things that needs to be addressed – and it’s a case of the sooner the better for everyone involved.
How to spot an underperformer
We’ve all worked with this person. They’re so lovely. But no one will vouch for their work. They simply don’t perform the duties of their…

These are often referred to as ‘mitigating factors’, and are an…

My favourite definition of leadership is “the role of a leader is to bring out greatness in others”. I was sad to learn of the recent death of George Martin. A gifted musician, producer and composer, Martin was better known to many as ‘the Fifth Beatle’. If anyone could lay claim to bringing out greatness in others, it was Sir George.
Looking beneath…

Employees Personal lives and Productivity
Regardless of what level or role you have in a business, we all know through our own experiences that our personal lives effect our work, performance and productivity – and that’s when it becomes a workplace issue.
