Thoughts on a 4-day work week? 🤔 There has been lots of healthy debate recently about employees given the right to ask for a 4-day work week under proposed government plans. Workers could potentially request this change to increase flexible working - the idea is to fit full-time hours into fewer days. A 4-day work week would differ by sector, job type & how practical this is for the role. So far there have been mixed opinions on the effectiveness of this, we’re keen to know your thoughts! #poll #polloftheday #opinions

Our site in Tamworth held a Macmillan Coffee Morning last week! 🧁 There was a delicious range of cupcakes, muffins and many other sweet treats for the bake sale, which raised around £195 for Macmillan. A great turnout, supporting an amazing cause – well done to everyone involved! 💚 Mariusz Malkowski Lisa Davies

Struggling with Hard-to-Fill Vacancies? 🤔 According to the CIPD Labour Market Outlook of Summer 2024 ‘hard-to-fill vacancies remain prevalent’. 37% of employers surveyed said that they have hard-to-fill vacancies. If you’ve ever faced the challenge of recruiting for a role that seems impossible to fill, you’re not alone. A hard-to-fill vacancy is where you’re continuously hitting roadblocks - either the right talent isn’t there, or candidates aren’t showing interest. So, how do you solve this? Here are two key strategies –   1️⃣ Address the Skill Gaps: Sometimes the perfect candidate just doesn’t exist, or the required skills are hard to come by. Instead of waiting months, ask: Can we train for these skills? More often than not, you can. By being realistic, you could train 5 people in the time it takes to find one “perfect” hire. 💡   2️⃣ Align Salary & Package with the Market: Look closely at what you’re offering. Does the salary, location, and benefits match what candidates in this market expect? If no one’s responding, you may be overestimating your package.   Be honest and realistic about what your budget can attract. You may need to raise the offer or adjust your expectations. 💡 Filling hard-to-fill roles comes down to balance: adjusting skill requirements and making your offer competitive enough to attract talent. Be flexible, and the hiring process becomes much smoother! Have you encountered hard-to-fill roles in your industry?

Congratulating our Temp to Perm colleagues in Dordon!!👏 Here’s some feedback we received about the group from Ecaterina – Goods In Team Leader - ‘They work together as a team, learned quick about what was expected of them and learned to do their role to the expected standards. I have never had to monitor their performance as they are always overachieving in their role, treating others with respect, addressing problems and solving any small issues among themselves and raising the important ones to the relevant people. They have always had a good work ethic, great attendance and have a respectful attitude towards other colleagues and management. It would be difficult to replace them!’ Well done team – keep up the great work in your permanent roles! 🥳 Magdalena Bujek

‘It’s better to over-deliver than to under-promise.’ 💡 In such a fast-paced industry, maintaining transparency and honesty with clients is crucial. We all know how busy it can be in the logistics and manufacturing industries, especially during peak periods. When working with high volumes and different timeframes, it’s important to be realistic with expectations to help achieve the end goal without any setbacks. The constant demand and tight schedules require meticulous planning and coordination to keep everything on track. We’ve supported many of our clients exceed their targets by being diligent and transparent from the beginning of our partnership – read about how we helped a Global Logistics Supplier maintain 100% weekly fulfilment, supplying 1000 peak colleagues per day, in our case study below. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e7JUenpU 🔗
