The giveaway is in the title Human Resources.
Although we prefer to use the term "Effective with People".
Most businesses have employees but it is surprising how many don't know how to get the best from them.
The good news is we do, and we are really good at it.
We like to think of ourselves as HR angels working diligently in the background, taking away the people management issues so businesses can focus on making their business bigger & better.
Now that sounds like a winning combination !

Are You At The Top Of Your Game?
I was talking to an acupuncturist about how wonderful the internet is. Isn’t it amazing that you can type the words ‘Japanese hospital’ into a search engine and find the information to talk to someone about acupuncture. I won’t go into the reason why I was searching what might appear a random subject but lets just say some things are better left a mystery.
Anyway I digress, the lady I found the details for spoke about the different techniques she has been taught and why learning is important to her in her particular field of medicine.
Learning is key and inspires this lady to be at the top of her game. You may assume that once you are qualified in your profession and you have your own client base that the need for additional learning isn’t necessary. In this situation you would probably coast for a while but if you wanted to be the best in your field then learning is key.
How often have you heard statements such as ‘I don’t need to go on training courses I am good at what I do?’ Yes people may be good at what they do but they could be better. We all could be better and develop further. None of us should ever stop learning.
Learning gives you the opportunity to look at things with fresh eyes. This can save a company money, improve efficiencies and lead to greater job satisfaction. Why? Because employees will learn how to stretch themselves and improve their skill set. All of this is great for business.
This all has a positive effect on people in terms of confidence, ability, the pride people take in their jobs and a renewed passion to progress careers. All of these outcomes are a result of embracing learning.
So I say bring on learning. It isn’t just for kids or confined to schools, colleges and universities. Besides why should kids get to have all the fun!
Bye for now

Have Fun At Work
Whilst sat waiting in a DR’s surgery (keep reading it gets better) the two receptionists are singing Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo from the Disney film Cinderella and are trying to remember the rest of the song words.
What a refreshing change that in this economic climate some people are still enjoying being at work and having some fun! The frivolity stops when a new patient comes in and they...

You Can Be Faster Than Usain Bolt
Did you know that a prospective employer makes up their mind whether to progress your job application within the first 10 seconds of looking at your CV?
So to put it another way by the time Usain Bolt completes the 100m sprint in this Summer's Olympic Games you have about the same amount of time to get yourself noticed and invited to an interview.
So what have you done to make...

The Company Eric worked for announced they were...

Being the true competitive girl I am I always strive to make the event better than the previous year so it takes time and preparation to put it together and to make it as enjoyable and exciting as possible for the kids...

Congratulations You Are Your Own Boss
The life of a business owner can be challenging. You are responsible for just about everything. Someone once said to me when I set up my HR consultancy ‘the good news is you are your own boss. The bad news is you are your own boss’! How true that is.
You see when it boils down to the real reason you set-up in business I am sure one of the ambitions would have been to be...
