January 6, 2012 | Management Matters

“Creative” topped LinkedIn’s list of the most overused buzzwords of 2011, as revealed through a study of members’ profiles on the global networking site. “Extensive experience,” last year’s number-one phrase, was the runner-up this year, with “effective”, “track record” and “motivated” claiming spots three through five.

Does Australia’s attitude to customer service stink?

April 21, 2011 | Management Matters
By Nicole Madigan Everest

While Australians have come to expect a casual approach to service, visitors aren’t so forgiving. “Having recently been in the USA, the standard of customer service there is great, staff actually want to help you,” says Australian marketing manager Jessica Hannant. “Here the sales assistant doesn’t get off the phone to her friend to even serve you at the checkout.” Are things here getting worse?

When hiring salespeople, make them give you 35 reasons why they want to work for you.

March 14, 2011 | Marketing & Media
By Alex Pirouz

At sometime during the recruitment process, ask the candidate to write down 35 reasons why they want to be a salesperson within your company. Allow up to 15 minutes for this process alone. I’ve conducted this exercise with hundreds of sales consultants. A common theme is that by the time they reach around the 15th reason they get stuck. Why? Because the first 15 reasons are typically high level and relatively easy to communicate.

Shape up, bosses, or your talent will ship out (and other workplace tips for 2011)

February 10, 2011 | Management Matters
By Tony Wilson

Many Australian companies don’t even provide regular feedback to their staff, let alone have a formal employee development program. This is a costly mistake. As busy managers give less and less time to developing their people, companies are losing the very employees they need to succeed in the long term.

Unfair dismissal laws introduce new definition for ‘small business’ placing more business owners under the ambit of unfair dismissal laws

January 21, 2011 | News Desk

More small businesses now fall under the national government definition of “small businesses”, thanks to laws that came into force on 1 January 2011. This means that countless more entrepreneurs will now need to follow federal rules against unfair dismissal. Are you a small business according to the new definition?

Seven ways to reduce overheads (because money doesn’t grow on trees, you know)

November 18, 2010 | Management Matters
By Catherine DeVrye

Remember when your parents said, “Money doesn’t grow on trees” or “A penny saved is a penny earned”? Employees and business owners need to re-visit these old truisms. Carelessness, complacency and failing to ask the right questions of staff and customers has resulted in Australian companies paying dearly in both time and money, according to Catherine DeVrye.

Now even unions can be crowdsourced. But weren’t they always?

October 27, 2010 | Management Matters

The whole concept of a unionism depends on having a ‘crowd’ and harnessing the power of that crowd to gain collective bargaining power. Therefore, it might seem slightly strange to describe ThePoint’s online service, designed to help office workers anonymously organise with their coworkers, as ‘crowdsourced unionism’.

People quit managers, not jobs [It's not them, it's you]

October 6, 2010 | Management Matters
By Tony Wilson

A study of hospital workers conducted by Chilterns University College in the UK found that nurses working for hospital supervisors with poor management styles had significantly higher blood pressure than nurses working for bosses judged as understanding and considerate. As a result, the nurses with bad bosses had a roughly 20 percent higher risk of heart disease. Are you giving your employees heart attacks?

Equal pay for women? Not likely, Australians say

September 27, 2010 | News Desk
