Peace of Mind and Recruitment
Working with the right people creates "peace of mind" and results in immense job satisfaction. Having a positive working environment helps in so many ways.
For the business person:-
Does the business have the right people to achieve true success?
Are you aware of what the right person looks like?
Will the business survive in the event of a dispute at home or at work?
If key people are sick (short or long term) what impact will this have on the business?
Can the business If key personnel want or need to retire, will the business provide their pensions?
If key personnel die, will the business survive and provide for their loved ones?
For the employee (all answers should be YES):-
Do I have a clear vision of where my career is heading?
Am I incentivised to perform?
Do I enjoy what I am doing?
Do I like the people I work with?
Am I happy with my progression?
The Better Life recruitment and structure planning processes attempt to put people in a position to answer all of the above questions positively.
If a business cannot answer positively in every case - then by default it has fragilities and therefore can be more successful.
If an individual cannot answer positively, then that individual needs to become positive otherwise performance will deteriorate. In the event that it is impossible to get the employee to become positive, then a change of career is probably best for that individual and his/her employer.
How does Better Life make a difference?
The two main ways we can make a difference are by helping individuals become positive about themselves and what they are achieving and by matching up those looking for a change with those looking for the skills they possess.
Becoming Positive
The whole Better Life prospectus is about individuals taking ownership of what is happening to their lives and doing something about it. Don't blame others as you create a downward excuse led spiral - blame yourself and you have armed yourself with everything you need to make a difference. Our Analyst Team are trained to engage people on this level and promote positive change (with the support of other relevant professionals).
Recruitment
Most people in the workplace struggle with recruitment. The reasons are many and varied but could include:
Not Enough Time
Unwilling to Delegate
Not Sure How or Who
Can't Afford It
Not Enough Time
If this is the case, you have probably identified the biggest reason why you need to put some time to this. For those without time, they are probably not working efficiently, probably don't have the systems and support to allow them to work efficiently and almost certainly are laying their operation open to failure due to ill health. So your best investment of time is probably to make time.
Unwilling to Delegate
Is it unwilling or unable? Some are unwilling as they want to, or need to retain control, in which case our recruitment process allows you to deal with things in a time efficient and confidential manner. In the event you are unable to delegate, then it probably highlights why you should be making time to deal with this as you do not have the staff you need to make the business operation robust.
Not Sure How or Who
Recruitment can be a daunting process. The Better Life solution provides you with some great educational and informative pointers and so you don't need to know how. When it comes to who, our questioning and profiling will give a really positive feel for who you are really looking for. The focus that will be provided, will also allow you to see what you are capable of achieving and what it can do for your business or department.
Can't Afford It
This is a very common excuse used by many potential employers. The truth is that they are put off by the conventional methods of recruitment (e.g. Newspapers and Recruitment Companies) due to cost on both monetary and time basis. The good news is that the Better Life service overcomes all of these issues.
The Better Life Recruitment Proposition
First of all what stands Better Life apart is its Analyst Team, who are all trained to understand the importance of appropriate support mechanisms to deliver stability to your family and business life. As a result they will be able to assist you in identifying the areas of support you require.
Once you have identified a recruitment requirement, Better Life have a unique system to help you find the appropriate candidate. This involves a "fact find" operation that reveals not only detail of the role to be filled, but just as importantly (using psychometric filtering) the type of person you need to fulfil the role.
Most organisations use either newspaper advertising or recruitment companies to find their new staff. The problem with paper advertising is that there is no guarantee of response and hence large amounts of money can be wasted along the way. Most recruitment companies work on the basis of a fee in the event of supplying an appropriate person of circa 25 - 30% of the first year's salary for the applicant. Better Life Recruitment works on the basis of NO FIND NO FEE and when we do find the appropriate person we apply a standard fixed fee of either £600 or £900 plus VAT. Therefore the Better Life system offers no waste and great value for money. In addition Better Life support your recruitment process by providing you with free guides to recruitment and a provisional contract of employment/service for the person you engage. No liability is accepted for the suitability of such documents, although all of the templates have been produced by appropriate lawyers.
