Back in September, I celebrated 2 years in business having decided to start up on my own...

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗜 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝟭 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗛𝗥. 🎉

There's nothing like the pride of having a business that's based on your values, branding, ideas and goals.

Bayside is a true representation of what I want to achieve in the business world:

🌊 Fresh thinking when it comes to solving those tricky people problems
🌊 Being a pragmatic people partner by your side to achieve business goals
🌊 Proving that HR is all about putting people first and you can make & deliver difficult decisions with empathy

I can't wait to see where the next year takes me and the business.

Are you and your business celebrating any major milestones in 2024?

Do you follow company policy to the letter? Do you make decisions based on goals? Or do you leave it down to the employees?

Leading a team can be a very personal thing... we all have our own styles and ways of doing things.

You'd find it hard to find 2 leaders that go about things in exactly the same way.

That being said, there are a range of different leadership styles that people tend to find suits or mirrors what they do best.

It could be that this style is the one that comes naturally to the individual or it could be that they are consciously making an effort to lead in this way for the benefit of the team.

What's important is that not one of these leadership styles is better than the other - what works best is going to be very individual to the business, the team and their situation.

Take a look at the graphic and let me know in the comments which one you think best describes you.

You've probably all heard of Chat GPT by now, but did you know, it is sneaking its way into recruitment?... And not in a good way...

I've been hearing an increasing number of stories of recruiters receiving applications in which screening questions have quite obviously been completed using AI tools such as Chat GPT. Giving you what they think you want to hear and not a true representation of the candidate.

You might wonder how is it obvious the answers are provided by AI? Well when a number of candidates deliver very similar answers to questions with little personalisation, suspicion arises that they may have plugged the question into an AI tool and copied the response. There can also be some inconsistencies in the grammar or language which just doesn't give confidence that the author is authentic.

So this is a warning to both recruiters and applicants...

⚠️ 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 - whilst it might seem like an easy route, putting false information will never bag you your dream job. You have a much better chance if you show the real you and answer questions in a way that is personal to you and your experience.

⚠️ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 - be wary when asking generic screening questions, if all responses start to look very similar then you might have an issue. Try to include questions that require candidates to be personal and add real-life examples.

Have you come across this problem in your recruiting process?

Christmas is already starting to feel like a distant memory and it's back into the full swing of working life.

With a new year, comes a fresh start and a clean slate to make sure you have all the correct HR policies and procedures in place.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺?

If it hasn't been for a while, then chances are things in your business might have changed and circumstances are now different. If that's the case then it's more important than ever to give them a check over and refresh.

Start 2024 off on the right foot, knowing you have everything you need in place to run your business smoothly.

If you need help knowing what policies and procedures you need in place then get in touch by sending me a message or contact me with the details below 👇

I've been out of the home office for the first time this year, visiting a business in London.

The focus this time was planning with the People team for the year ahead.

As someone who does the majority of my work from home, I always love the chance to get out and meet others in person. Not just working but building the relationships too.

We definitely all felt the benefit of meeting up to have a productive work week and build rapport.

I think there's something special about the connections you can build when you're in the same room as someone, rather than only ever seeing them on a screen.

🏃‍♀️ You might have seen that one of my new year goals was to do more running...

Unfortunately, I've already had to put that goal on hold after an accident over Christmas left me hobbling around on crutches - not exactly the ideal companion for running 😆

It goes to show that challenges always present themselves and we have to change our plans to adjust, and you never know, sometimes there is a silver lining.

For me, I struggle to take rest - always on the go managing a busy life, but I have been forced to rest and not be as active as normal. As frustrating as it was, I have felt the benefit of taking some rest, especially during the Christmas break.

Even if you don't want to, we all need to fully switch off sometimes and recharge our batteries. No one can operate at 100 miles an hour all year round.

So my key message is the importance of stepping away. Make sure to take time this year to switch your focus completely and focus on something other than work... rest is just as important!

What are your goals for 2024?

We all know it's good practice to set goals so we achieve what we want to.

We are 42% more likely to achieve them if we set our intentions by writing them down, committing to them and sharing them with others.

🤝 Bringing more efficiencies in my business through collaborations
🏃‍♂️ Committing to running more regularly - maybe even doing a race?!

What goals are you setting?

𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥! 🎉

It's the first working day back in 2024 and I hope you are all returning well-rested and full of good food!

It was great to take a step away from work for the last week and enjoy quality time with my family. But now I'm ready to jump back into all things HR.

I hope you all too had a good break, however you spent it.

Here's to 2024 and all the great things it is going to bring! 🌟

With Elfie heading off on her festive break soon, it's time I did too!

2023 has been a great year for Bayside HR, but it's time to switch of my business brain and take a much-needed break.

So this is an early Merry Christmas from me. I hope you all have a special time however you spend and it come back in the new year rejuvenated and ready to go. 🎄🌟

See you on the other side! 👋

It's been a full-on month so far for Elfie and to say she is exhausted would be an understatement.

When you spend 11 months of the year hidden in a cupboard, the 1 month you do work is 24/7 hard work and Elfie is reaching her limit. 📈

With her momentum fading and burnout approaching, it's clear that it's time soon for Elfie to take a break.

With less than a week till the big day, Santa has confirmed that all Elf on the Shelfs and reindeer can take their usual annual leave from January to November. He's even told then all to turn off their elf-mail notifications whilst they're away so they can really switch off. 📱

It's so important to give your team downtime to switch off and here's why...
💤 For their health & wellbeing, breaks from work allow much-needed rest to focus on what is important to them
💤 To avoid sickness absence at work, rest breaks & time off can avoid burnout situations
💤 Turning off notifications is key to be able to fully switch off from work - not easy for many people but so important
💤 To give them renewed energy when they do return to work
