Can ChatGPT help you to put together your resume? As our world digitises and we see new technologies on the rise every day, we now see changes in the way the market applies for jobs. If writing is not one of your strengths, AI can provide you with a strong starting point from which to refine your resume, saving you time and stress. However there can be some pitfalls if you choose to go down this route, and it can be controversial. So we want to hear from you! AI is increasingly used to cut corners when producing content, so it is important to know when and where to use it to ensure that you resume is still an accurate and personal representation of you. We explore the pros and cons of using AI to help you with your resume in our Resume Guide: https://lnkd.in/g84nQFx2

How do you relieve stress? Work stress is a huge contributor to burnout in the modern world. According to The University of Rochester Medical Centre, short term effects of stress include headaches, shallow breathing, trouble sleeping, anxiety, and an upset stomach. They continue to explore how long-term constant stress can increase risk of heart disease, back pain, depression, lasting muscle aches and pains, and a weakened immune system. We asked our network what methods they use to decompress from their jobs. It is important to have strategies in place in your everyday life to ensure that stress doesn't reach a constant or perpetual level. If you find that your stress has been at a high level for an extended period of time, it may be time to talk with a mental health provider. At Reo Group, we empower our team to make sure we don't hit stage 4 burnout. We give all our consultants 2 extra leave days per quarter that they can use to rest, recharge, and come back stronger, and offer regular opportunities to check in and be supported by your team and managers. If you're interested in working for a business that will work alongside you to manage stress and burnout, reach out to Clare Zizza for a confidential chat today.

We are so excited to see the impacts that CAYLUS (Central Australian Youth Link Up Service) and Dot Com Mob are having on the ground. They have supported the set up of 28 computer rooms, WiFi and devices for youth programs! We are honoured that we are able to play a role in this process. Every time Reo Group places a candidate we give 50 days of technology education to remote Aboriginal communities. We do this through the Business for Good platform B1G1. To date we have made 32,129 impacts, which equates to over 71 years of technology education for remote Aboriginal communities.

So, a key leader in your organisation has just resigned... You offered them a pay rise, asked to extend their contract, and your preferred two candidates aren't available for another year (one is on a career break and the other has another year on their contract). The counter-offer didn't work, and it's now public. What do you do? The importance of having a robust succession planning framework cannot be overstated. Succession planning is a proactive strategy that ensures your organisation is never caught off guard by unexpected departures or leadership gaps. A well-thought-out succession plan allows you to identify and develop internal talent, grooming potential leaders well before a vacancy arises. In this scenario, the departure of a key leader could have been anticipated and prepared for if a solid succession plan was in place. Ideally, you would have already identified an aspiring manager within the organisation—someone who's been mentored and guided by the departing leader and has been on a similar career trajectory. This individual would have been gradually exposed to higher responsibilities, key decision-making processes, and strategic initiatives, allowing them to grow into the role over time. Reo Group Executive Search recognises the importance of good succession planning. That is why we specialise in C-Suite roles, as well as their direct reports, and can bolster your organisation from within.

At the beginning of August, Reo Group held an event with Chibs Okereke where we learned about 'flirting with burnout' - an affliction that many may find themselves in, where you burnout, recover, and start the process again with no long term solutions in mind. The key to overcoming this cycle is to manage your stress before you reach stage 4 burnout. We'd love to know - how do you manage your stress when work gets a little too much? Regular exercise can improve cardiovascular health and boost energy levels. It also stimulates the production of endorphins, often referred to as "feel-good" hormones, which can help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Meditation and mindfulness practices (including breathing exercises, and journalling) help calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and increase emotional resilience. These practices also enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation, making it easier to respond to stressors in a balanced way. Venting and talking to someone can help take the stresses and problems that live in your end and release them. Talking to an uninvolved third party can also help gain perspective and rationalise some of your anxieties. Regular breaks and vacations allow for physical and mental rest, helping to recharge and reduce burnout. Short breaks during work can enhance focus and productivity, while holidays provide a more extended opportunity to refresh and return to work with renewed energy. How do you manage your work stress? At Reo Group, we empower our team to make sure we don't hit stage 4 burnout. We give all our consultants 2 extra leave days per quarter that they can use to rest, recharge, and come back stronger, and offer regular opportunities to check in and be supported by your team and managers.

That's a wrap on Village Con 2024! We have celebrated our annual national conference, Village Con, focusing on connectedness, togetherness, and personal development, bringing together our team from all across the country. We gave back to our villagers by investing in their learning development both as professionals, as leaders, and individuals. Our first session was from our visionary CEO, Stella Petrou Concha, who gave an incredible session and workshop on Cultivating Confidence Through the Lens of Self Mastery. We took the time to look inwards and focus on ourselves and how we can grow on our personal journeys of self mastery. Our second session came from our incredible Head of People & Culture, Chloe Norris, who took us through how to Speak Like a Leader. We learned about the 5 Chairs of Behaviour and about how leadership does not only mean having a direct report, but can be at any stage of your career. We then kicked back at night with a hoedown! The Reo Village transformed into our best cowboy-hat-wearing, line-dancing selves, and grapevine'd and dosey-doe'd the night away.
