A common misconception by employers is they have t A common misconception by employers is they have the discretion of when to terminate an employee under their Drug & Alcohol Policy or not. 

Policies which state "the employer may terminate the employee at their discretion" are misleading and do not stand up to employment law legislation when terminations under the policy are applied discretionary. Particularly when they policy exists in a safety critical workplace

Important points to note, policies should:
✨ be unambiguous and be provided to employees backed up by regular training ie: be clear on the parameters of the testing, is it 1 positive test and you are gone or 3 strikes and you're out. Provide information relating to the policy in your employee handbooks & provide employees easy access to your policies
✨ be implemented fairly with clear information provided as to the consequences for non-compliance
✨ be based upon a clear rationale that its purpose is to ensure the health and safety of all employees
✨ expressly state that disciplinary action including dismissal will be taken where an employee fails to comply - and this must be applied consistently across the workforce in order for the policy to be considered "fair"

Don't risk your business' future on inadequate, non-existent or non-compliant policies, our People & Culture Foundations Package will equip your business with a suite of policies, forms and guides to provide a solid HR framework for your business http://ow.ly/tFPf50DDdYO

Performance management is an essential tool for bu Performance management is an essential tool for business to help them align their employees, resources, and systems to meet their strategic objectives. πŸ’«βœ¨πŸ’«

It works as a dashboard too, providing an early warning of potential problems and allowing managers to know when they must make adjustments to keep a business on track through both formal and informal processes. 

Contemporary performance management is so much more than performance reviews. Performance management is all about making sure your employees are happy, engaged and working towards your collective organisational goals.

Since August 2020 I’ve been working with a Kalgo Since August 2020 I’ve been working with a Kalgoorlie based, non mining industry client to find an LV Fitter

We advertised on Seek and their socials and received zero applications 

When this happens it’s so disheartening, this would be such a great place to work but the factors of small business; non mining and regional just work against you

And this is the reality SME’s face every day

At the time their social media was basically non existent- 2 or 3 posts a month. And definitely not anything that established a brand personality that prospective candidates could associate a workplace culture with

At Christmas I started working with them to improve their social media presence 

In late January we advertised for an LV Fitter, the results............

From 0 candidates to 13! 5 of whom are already based in Kalgoorlie looking to change employers

Effective recruitment is so much more than chucking an ad on Seek and hoping for the best, it’s a whole of business approach

Policies & Procedures – Supporting the overall b Policies & Procedures – Supporting the overall business function

Human Resources Policies and Procedures are important as they provide structure, control, consistency, fairness and reasonableness in the business

They also ensure compliance with employment legislation, inform employees of their responsibilities and the organisations expectations and provide transparency in how processes will be managed

The People & Culture Office policies reflect contemporary human resource practice, offer step by step procedures and are fully compliant to Australian workplace law and legislation. They have been written with the average employee in mind; that is anyone in the business can pick up the policy and understand exactly what is expected of them and what procedure should be followed to achieve the desired outcome

Policies should add value to your business, whether it’s a Recruitment & Selection Policy to guide you to recruit employees of the highest standard or an EEO, Bullying & Harassment Policy that covers off the relevant legislation, if your policies are too vague, don’t provide guidance and protect you from legal action then you aren’t getting the value from them that you should

Take it that one step further with an Employee Handbook ⬇️⬇️ well presented, easy to consume content that educates your employees on your benefits and expectations from day 1. First impressions count, what do your induction and on boarding processes say about you?

Employers can find dealing with employee issues in Employers can find dealing with employee issues incredibly frustrating, through the introduction of this new service The People & Culture Office aims to remove people issues from the business owners day to day so they can focus on working on their business, not working in their business.
Our service aims to address this by conducting regular on-site checkins with management and the employee to identify any potential issues before it’s too late

We will conduct a tailored performance discussion, be the link between your business, the training provider and the apprenticeship facilitator and provide employers with quality HR support to address disciplinary matters as they arise

The service designed to support both the employee and employer from sign up to sign off.  This is a proactive service to support employers while addressing the skills shortage through quality people process and frameworks. 

The ongoing support throughout the life of the apprenticeship and traineeship will ensure a smoother transition to the employee achieving the qualification, adding value to the business with skills and behaviours that are aligned to the business and it’s values. To overcome the skills shortage we need to achieve a higher apprenticeship completion rate, and keep these employees in town, applying their trade

Unless you work for a legal firm why would you han Unless you work for a legal firm why would you hand employees an employment contract & policies that require a legal degree to read and understand?

As an employer you have an obligation to educate employees on the expectations of your workplace, including legislative requirements such as Occupational Health and Safety, Discrimination, Harassment & Bullying.

So why make it hard for your contracts & policies to be understood? 

When something is presented in a way that is complex or full of legalese it’s human nature to be instantly wary of the contents & the person delivering it to them

Is this employer dodgy? Are they actually trying to rip me off? I don’t even know what I just signed

The information you convey to employees should be easy to digest and transparent, I mean if you are going to invest good money in putting a framework in place you want it to actually be of value right?

Employees can’t be productive and work within your behavioural expectations if they don’t understand what they are because your documents aren’t written to suit your employee demographic and culture 

The People & Culture Office offers a bespoke experience - tailor made just for you. No mass produced, cookie cutter products. We want to understand your business to give you HR solutions that add value to your organisation. This is the true value of quality HR πŸ’«

Behavioural based interviewing techniques work off Behavioural based interviewing techniques work off the premise that past behaviours are the best predictors of future behaviours.

By structuring interview questions in a way that requires an element of "storytelling" by the candidate, and by observing body language, you are able to gain an insight into the candidates' exposure to, and response to, relevant scenarios.

Effective recruitment is about placing the candidate at ease so you can get a glimpse of their true self - after all this is the version that will be coming to work for you. In sharing stories you are able to build trust and familiarity and ensure an engaging interview process.
