Impressive insights, Kelly Mason FIEP Reflecting on the last decade, I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact of effective training and coaching on staff alignment with business values, real-time resilience building, enhanced client connection, and the cultivation of trust and collaboration through the development of soft skills. A 40% staff turnover is a significant concern, underscoring the importance of investing in your team as a strategic investment in the success of your organisation. #InvestInYourTeam #StaffDevelopment #coaching

Earlier this month, we participated in the inaugural Detroit Fire Department's Professional Development conference. Like many manual labor-focused industries, staffing strategies from the 1900s may not work for the 2000s! Mixing up to five different generations in the firehouse, recruiting non-traditional populations, and retaining everyone requires new strategies. Happy to have this conversation about diversity, #equity and #inclusion with leaders for today's challenges and opportunities but also in preparation for the future of the Fire Service. https://lnkd.in/dzm_XhY7

📣 Insights from the Disability Employment Australia People and Culture Forum Today, I had the privilege of attending the Disability Employment Australia People and Culture Forum where Parkhouse Bell Australia delivered the results from a recent survey of Middle Managers in Employment Services . The discussions were insightful, shedding light on some critical trends and opportunities in our field: Turnover Rates on the Rise: Both involuntary and voluntary turnover rates continue to remain high (over 40%). This highlights the need for strategies to enhance employee retention and engagement. Leadership Gaps: A significant number of middle managers are promoted from front-line positions without formal leadership training. This gap underscores the importance of equipping new leaders with the skills they need to succeed. Focus on Training and Development: Middle managers identify training and professional development for their front-line teams as crucial for increasing job outcomes for clients. Investing in our teams is investing in our clients' success. Value of Micro-Credentials: Micro-credentials are recognised as valuable tools for upskilling both middle managers and front-line workers. These credentials can provide targeted, practical knowledge to enhance performance and career growth. The forum was a reminder of the dynamic nature of our work and the continuous need for growth and adaptation. Thank you Disability Employment Australia, Helen McAnally and James Weait FIEP for providing a forum to discuss and strategise as a sector. Let's continue to support and develop our teams to better serve our clients and communities. 💡 Call to Action: At Bounce Global, our programs are designed to support leaders and front-line staff in developing crucial communication skills using evidence based coaching frameworks. These programs have shown impressive results, with some organisations recording over 90% retention of staff who have completed our Job Coach Certification program.

Today, three of the Employee Trustees at Stephens Scown complete their three-year terms and hand over to the new-look group 😢 They’ve achieved a great amount, and put in enormous effort over the last three years, so it’s sad to see them step away - but brilliant to be able to celebrate their contributions 🎉 They are Team Players, they are Role Models. They are Scowners to put on a pedestal. Kia Pearson, Lexie Williams and Anthony Booth have helped to evolve and re-define what EO is at our business, how it can contribute to the growth of the business and the experience of our colleagues, and they will be missed. My highlight from our time 🤔 it might be when we all had the opportunity to present the launch of our behaviours to the business, and each Trustee celebrated great examples from across our workforce. That, or when we pre-recorded our AGM for EO Day 2024 and Lexie secured the guest appearances of ex-Olympians and other sporting stars. I’m sure that they will continue to contribute, albeit without the title. With the change comes the brilliant opportunity for the new Employee Trustees and in the hands of them our employee owners can remain confident – Emily Smith, Gemma Mittell (Symons), Meesha Ghovanloupoor, Tyler Richards, and Natalie Vizard. #EmployeeOwnership #Culture #EmployeeEngagement

It was great being in Lichfield yesterday with Greenwood Projects helping them to gain clarity on their vision and devise a strategic plan. Appreciate their energy and passion for what they do for their clients, this was so reflected in the session, and I look forward to seeing the team do great things in the future. Purpose and vision are not only vital for helping the team create a guiding light but contributes to the resilience of the team too, below is another extract from the book I am writing on building team resilience: "Furthermore, a shared purpose serves as a guiding principle that aligns the diverse talents and skills within a team toward a common objective. It instils a sense of significance to the team's mission, fostering a culture where every member understands their contribution's impact on the overarching goal. This shared understanding not only creates cohesion but also ignites a shared passion and dedication. When faced with challenges or uncertainties, the shared purpose becomes a source of inspiration, motivating team members to collaborate harmoniously. The collective identity formed around the shared purpose acts as a stabilising force during turbulent times, allowing teams to navigate disruptions with resilience." Stay tuned for more insights!

The final piece of The Severfield Way is our brand-new behaviours framework. Where values are the principles that guide how we go about our everyday work, behaviours are the actions and attitudes that bring these values to life. At Severfield, our teams work across a number of sites and a range of sectors, delivering market leading projects. These new behaviours mean that no matter which part of Severfield a colleague is from, they know what is expected of them by their team and by our clients. Our new behaviours are aligned with our new company values which we shared earlier this week, and ultimately will help us in creating better ways to build, for a world of changing demands. #TheSeverfieldWay #Values #Behaviours #Culture #WeSetTheBarHigh #WeAreInItTogether #WeFindBetterWays #WeDoTheRightThing
