According to a LinkedIn study, only 30% of your potential talent pool is actively seeking a new job. This means that if you want to attract the top talent, you'll probably have to woo them away from their current position. Adam Blackford-Mills, Director of Sales & Marketing at MRS Digital, shares his expertise. To attract […]
The amount of people “grinning and bearing it” at work while ill has more than tripled since 2010. A report from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development found that 86% of 1,000 organisations surveyed had observed staff attending work while ill – compared to just 26% eight years ago. And with the changing seasons […]
Innovation is not a word that should be used frivolously. However, in recent years it has become a throwaway term that is frequently applied in reference to a product, act, or outcome. Few people use innovation to describe a continuous cycle or collective – a culture. In my experience, innovation as a culture is a […]
Leadership, especially in an incredibly fast-paced digital world where there are disruptions coming from every direction, is tough. Whether you are a long-established CEO or COO grappling with the changes digital technology is bringing to your industry, or a newly appointed Chief Data or Digital Officer getting to grips with joining the C-Suite, it takes […]
By Louisa Rochford Disclosing and justifying the pay gap between a CEO and their employees within a company is becoming more enforced. Amazon workers in the US and the UK received a pay rise, to $15 and £9.50 respectively, a change considered to be a long time coming for many. The world is changing, […]
Meetings are amongst the most frustrating elements of modern business. They can take too long, are often unfocused, and do not always achieve what they set out to. This is mostly because the entire meeting process has hardly changed in decades and is lacking in the digitisation that has transformed other areas of business. Camilla […]
Why creativity is iterative and not an end-game. #fail. It’s become a tag that no one wants to be associated with. In this social media-fuelled world we now live in, #winning tends to be what we all want to be striving for. And rightly so… otherwise, what’s the point in developing ourselves to be […]
No-one wants to be unhappy at work, and no employer wants an unmotivated workforce. Considering how much of our time is spent at work, it’s important that employees feel happy and engaged with their jobs, colleagues and managers. However, it’s inevitable that at some point, business leaders will have to deal with an employee handing […]
Nothing is as invisible as the obvious, but chances are, you’re not paying close enough attention to notice. Take your workforce for example. On average, almost half of the workforce spend is on non-payroll workers and service providers. It is assumed that human resources, procurement and department managers have a handle on how this ‘external […]
Even in the pre-digital age, financial news travelled fast. Humans’ hard-wired love of both gossip and profit have long combined to make stock tips, trading floor rumours and market hunches a potent force. Potent not just because of the speed at which they travel, but because of their ability to not just reflect the market, […]
The success of a business (and subsequently, its CEO) tends to be judged on the basis of hard facts and numbers such as revenue, investment, product development, and innovation. These are certainly critical metrics – but if achieving success were really that simple, every business with the right assets on paper would experience exponential growth. […]
Maintaining a work/life balance is a challenge for the vast majority of committed workers, but for CEOs, the problem is much more pronounced.
