COULD YOUR RECRUITMENT BE BETTER ?
We know there is a balance to be struck between not having enough staff, and compromising on the quality of the people you employ.
How’s your staff turnover? The UK average is about 15%.
Did you know that when we compromise in our recruitment process we can unintentionally:
Reduce the respect our staff have for our leadership abilities?
Reduce their productivity
Impact customer service levels
Increase workplace stress
This is all on top of the costs involved in recruiting and training more people than you need to.
What Can We Do About It?
We are not a recruitment agency, but we are trained to use the brilliant Harrison Assessments psychometric talent diagnostics. They can be deployed in any recruitment process – not matter how formal or informal, and make a big impact.
The research shows that if we enjoy more than 75% of the tasks and interactions which make up our job, we can be 4 times more successful. That is a huge potential performance improvement. And happier staff also tend to stick around a lot longer, and are much easier to live with.
So we focus on work enjoyment – getting a good match between the things we need to enjoy to be successful at our jobs, and the things applicants actually do enjoy. And because this is an on-line questionnaire we get to see what people are really like – not what they say in an interview to try and get the job.
Not that people intentionally lie – but if you have never done a job before, you have genuinely no idea if it will be something you will like and be great at.

NAILING DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS : HOW TO HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS WE ALL WANT TO AVOID
Finding it tough to tell subordinates how to improve performance?
Want to deliver robust feedback with compassion?
We all know people love to hear how well they are performing but what about when it’s bad news. Easy, just tell them. Lay it on the line.
Easier said than done right? Wrong.
What will we cover?
If you’re struggling to have those difficult conversations with those people who are not pulling with the team, you’re not alone.
Everyone has struggled with nailing difficult conversations at some point. It is something we all need to learn how to handle if we are to become successful managers and leaders.
Psychology, behaviours and values, both yours and your employees are all at play, as well as the job measurements that you have in place to measure each individual’s performance.
That’s why our ‘Nailing Difficult Conversations’ training is delivered from the perspectives of HR, Management and Mindset, as well as using state of the art psychometric diagnostics to inform and tailor the content to your needs.
Delivered by Business Revolutionaries Be Astute and Mindset Revolutionaries Ascend Performance Coaching, we aim to deliver the best targeted training for every individual.
Unlike generic training that can never be relevant to everyone, we use state of the art talent diagnostics to get to know you better, so we can deliver training that is specific to your challenges and helps you devise the best individual plan for you to be clear, confident and capable to manage those challenging situations.
