People Poaching - The Problem or the Solution - Click To Read Article
The biggest business problem today is attracting and keeping good staff. The best people are busily employed. For competitors to attract them, they are going to have to poach them and the enticements will need to be more than the money. The right workplace culture has become vital to both attracting good staff and to protecting them from being poached by their competitors. And this goes beyond just what happens when people are at work.
Employers of Choice - Why They Attract Employee Loyalty - Click To Read Article
Far from business determining the future of the workforce, the workforce now determines the future of business. While earning money at work is still vital, commitment to one employer is not. People want more than money - they want employment that enables them to achieve their personal goals.
Work Life Harmony, Rather Than Work Life Balance - Click To Read Article
Work life balance suggests people are living two lives, one at work and one away from work. But people don't 'work' for five days or more and 'live' for two days or less. Work is just one of many roles that people perform in their week. No matter where they are or what they are doing, day or night, people are carrying personal baggage, problems, responsibilities, personal goals and work goals. Separation of work and personal life roles has become a blur and, to many of us, almost a seamless link.
Family friendly policies are now only one aspect of the work life balance issue. Work life balance has become a key factor in attracting and retaining good staff, male and female in a buyers market generated by a shortage of quality skilled staff.
Who's Writing The Script for Your Life? - Click To Read Article
Most of us have our life script written by others - it began with our parents and teachers. In our adult years the job was taken over by our bosses, clients, partner, other dependants, the economy, world events and so on. We try to be the person we think others expect us to be rather than be the person within that we have always been. It's time to take control and write the script we want.

You try to be one type of person at work, another type of person with friends, another person at home, when you're driving a car,or perhaps when you stand up in public to speak.

No Pressure - Any Time in the Next Half Hour Will Do - Click To Read Article
Managing people at work used to be relatively simple - you only worried about what they did during working hours. Private matters were left at home where there was somebody able to look after them while the breadwinner focused on earning the money. And people didn't lead such complicated lives. Boy! Are things different today!
What Makes An Employer of Choice? - Click To Read Article
Far from business determining the future of the workforce, the workforce now determines the future of business. The dollars that come from work continue to be of major importance but not so the commitment to any one employer. The workers want more than money - they want employment that enables them to achieve their personal dreams and goals. Employers of Choice understand that every employee, or potential employee :
– is on their own personal journey through life, only some of which is spent in the workplace
– has a unique set of life aims and objectives
– chooses workplace cultures that best help them achieve those goals, and
– sees work not as an end in itself but as a means to other ends.
I Wanna Be a Kid Again! - It's More Fun Than Retiring - Click To Read Article
I loved being a kid and I learned so much while I was playing. But life became serious. I started taking courses I didn't want to do and try to be someone I didn't want to be. Fun became a waste of time that could be better used on making money. Before you know it, life is slipping by fast. At 60, bosses tell you "you're too old to work anymore...go book into God's waiting room and pass the time until you die". That's when I exploded.

Get a Life You Work Better and Live Longer - Click To Read Article
Workaholism is rife in the business world. To many it is a badge of honour, worn with pride. Yet of the people on the 9/11 hijacked flights who had access to a mobile phone, none of them called the office.

How Passion Unlocks Potential - Click To Read Article
You're at the office, working on a project you feel was made for you. You've become absorbed in your thoughts and the sheer enjoyment of the experience.

It doesn't just happen at work. It can be triggered by any enjoyable experience, be it physical, passive, intellectual, social, manual, environmental, or spiritual. When you lose yourself in something you love, you find yourself.
