But that’s how I’ve always done it
The irony of this post is that those who need it the most won’t see it. Why? Because their business practices haven’t kept up with the changing face of doing business, nor technology. They aren’t online, they don’t have business frameworks in place, their business was the bomb in the pre-social media days and their […]
Living & working in Kalgoorlie – Boulder
I want to tell you about my love affair with my home town, like most regional area’s we are struggling to attract skilled professionals, trades people and families. If you’re reading this you’ve probably hit Google up post COVID, something about a new adventure, a new opportunity, the ability to accelerate your career made you […]
Attracting regional employees is a hard sell
If you follow me on social media you would have seen these posts popping up over the past week When I look at Seek advertising, local business websites and speak to jobseekers & business leaders based outside of Kalgoorlie-Boulder one thing becomes glaringly clear.

Building an “always learning” culture

Ahhhhhh procrastination, one minute you are focussed on work & what needs to be done, next, your 12 quizzes deep on Buzzfeed trying to find out which Teletubbie you are (I’m Tinky Winky BTW). We’re all human so we all experience periods of procrastination, it’s just the depth & length of time that varies. I’m […]
Rethinking social media at work
Posting inappropriate memes. Instagramming lunches. Facebooking a few office selfies. Browsing instead of working. Snapchatting Sharon trying to fix the printer. These are the events companies imagine will takeover the work day if they let employees use social media on the job. Unfortunately, for businesses that ban the use of social media in the workplace, […]
Elevate your Social Media in 2019
About 5 years ago I stumbled across Sonia Bavistock (and Amalfi aka the cutest dog in the world) on Facebook through her fashion styling page Sonia Styling and then later Scribe and Social, her social media management business. Since launching The People & Culture Office just shy of 12 months ago, Scribe and Social has […]
