We won! What a fantastic night at the Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce business awards last night. 🥂 The team was so excited to pick up the Excellence in Customer Service Award! 🏆 Our customers – both our clients and candidates – are at the heart of what we do.

❌ STOP ignoring your team's efforts - it’ll cost you. Employees who feel recognised and appreciated at work are FOUR TIMES more engaged (Gallup research says so). And engaged = productive. Productivity = profit 💸 Our latest blog spills the truth on why recognition is non-negotiable if you're serious about retaining your best people and growing your business. This is about REAL results. Ready to make some big changes? Time to read, learn, and lead like you mean it. Thanks to some brilliant businesses who contributed to this, including ESP Utilities Group Ltd. It’s great to hear how you’re all showing appreciation at work. https://lnkd.in/gXCKu6yG

Years ago, the HR department used to be seen as administrative support, and dealing with people ‘stuff’ 🙄 Now, HR leads the way for employee experience and is a pivotal part of the leadership team, driving workplace culture and individual performance. Our blog delves into how HR has changed since the pandemic, and exactly what makes a great HR leader today 💪 https://lnkd.in/e-PXU6n4

📢 Agency workers Did you know that when your assignment ends, it’s YOUR responsibility to return any property or items provided by the company you’re temping with? This includes any documents, passes, equipment, uniform, materials, etc. It is not okay to demand they come and collect it themselves 🤦♀️ Let’s keep it adult and professional and try not to burn bridges.
