<content><![CDATA[An intern at a prestigious New York law firm was fired after allegedly biting five colleagues and roaring at them &mdash; an incident that&rsquo;s left social media stunned and sparked conversations about boundaries, judgement, and workplace readiness in younger generations.

Human Performance Expert Karen Gately of Corporate Dojo weighed in on the unusual case, noting that while extreme, it highlights the importance of interpersonal skills, self-awareness, and understanding professional boundaries &mdash; especially for those entering the workforce after years of remote study or isolation.

Key insights:


	
	The Incident: The intern at Sidley Austin in Manhattan allegedly bit colleagues in what reports described as a &ldquo;faux-quirky&rdquo; manner, not out of aggression, but still crossing a clear professional line.
	
	
	Behavioural Boundaries: Karen Gately emphasises that regardless of intent, such actions invade personal boundaries and justify firm intervention &mdash; in this case, termination.
	
	
	Generational Factors: She points to possible gaps in interpersonal and team engagement skills among younger workers whose formative years were shaped by isolation.
	
	
	The Bigger Picture: Unusual incidents like this underline the need for leaders and employees to strengthen communication, respect, and professional conduct in workplace culture.
	
	
	Practical Advice: Gately recommends training in difficult conversations, learning from mentors, and practising self-reflection to build stronger relationships and avoid misunderstandings.
	


From extreme examples to everyday missteps, workplace behaviour is under the spotlight &mdash; reminding us that respect, awareness, and connection remain at the heart of a healthy team environment.

<description><![CDATA[Gen Z workers are blending business travel with personal time by bringing friends or family on fully paid work trips&mdash;a trend known as &ldquo;bleisure.&rdquo; While it offers flexibility and personal benefits, secrecy around this practice raises ethical and professional concerns.

<content><![CDATA[Gen Z workers are blending business travel with personal time by bringing friends or family on fully paid work trips&mdash;a trend known as &ldquo;bleisure.&rdquo; While it offers flexibility and personal benefits, secrecy around this practice raises ethical and professional concerns.

Human Performance Expert Karen Gately of Corporate Dojo sheds light on the growing trend among Gen Z workers to combine business travel with personal time&mdash;sometimes bringing friends or family along on fully paid work trips. While this &ldquo;bleisure&rdquo; trend reflects a shift toward work-life integration, it also raises important questions about professionalism, trust, and workplace boundaries.

Key Insights:


	Trend Overview: Gen Z embraces blending work and leisure, often taking plus-ones on work trips and sharing these experiences openly on social media.
	Ethical Concerns: Recruitment experts warn that secretly bringing companions without employer consent can damage trust and professional reputation.
	Generational Shift: Younger generations prioritize work-life integration and expect meaningful, enjoyable work experiences, contrasting with older generations who valued stability and separation.
	Risks and Impacts: Distractions from companions may reduce work effectiveness, and insurance liabilities could arise if guests cause issues during trips.
	The Bigger Picture: This trend reflects broader questions about boundaries as work increasingly invades personal life through technology, prompting calls for honest conversations on trust, professionalism, and mutual respect.


&ldquo;Bleisure&rdquo; challenges traditional workplace norms, urging employers and employees to discuss clear boundaries and expectations in a world where work and life are more intertwined than ever.

<description><![CDATA[Weaponised incompetence in the workplace, if left unchecked, can significantly hamper productivity and strain relationships. It manifests as task evasion, missed deadlines, poor-quality work, and shirking responsibility. 
]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[Weaponised incompetence in the workplace, if left unchecked, can significantly hamper productivity and strain relationships. It manifests as task evasion, missed deadlines, poor-quality work, and shirking responsibility.

Karen Gately of Corporate Dojo identifies three primary drivers: avoidance, sabotage, or control. Often, it&rsquo;s a learned behaviour stemming from a culture of blame or fear. The impact includes productivity losses, disengagement, and team conflict. HR professionals can counteract this by fostering a culture of accountability, visibility, and self-sufficiency.

Highlights:

1. Definition: Feigning incompetence for personal gain, manifesting as task evasion and missed deadlines.

2. Drivers: Avoidance, sabotage, and control, often stemming from fear or systemic issues.

3. Impacts: Significant productivity loss, team conflict, and relationship breakdowns.

4. Cost: Knowledge workers in Australia lose up to 600 hours annually due to workplace distractions, equating to $27,585 per employee.

5. Solutions:

&bull; Cultivate a culture of accountability.

&bull; Recognise and reward problem-solvers.

&bull; Ensure easy access to information.

&bull; Clearly communicate expectations.

 

Combat weaponised incompetence and foster a more productive workplace. Read further to explore strategies for addressing this issue effectively.

<title><![CDATA[How to ask for a pay rise in Australia]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Regardless of your job, requesting for pay increase when you believe you deserve one is an expected part of Australian workplace culture.
]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[Regardless of your job, requesting for pay increase when you believe you deserve one is an expected part of Australian workplace culture. In some cases, an increase in your salary may even be a legal requirement. Here&#39;s the advice from experts that you should consider before initiating a pay conversation with your boss.

KEY POINTS

- In Australia, you can ask for a pay rise at any point of time when you believe you deserve one.

- You can prepare for a pay rise request with help from your union, colleagues, or on your own.

- Proper preparation, including seeking advice, gaining knowledge, and planning arguments, is crucial before requesting a raise.

 

If you feel intimidated by the thought of asking your boss for a pay rise, rest assured that you are not alone. According to human resources expert Karen Gately, many employees find this situation uncomfortable. However, it doesn&#39;t have to be that way. &ldquo;That discomfort is more about them, as opposed to what is culturally appropriate or common practice in Australia. It&rsquo;s OK to ask for a pay rise. The key is knowing how to go about that, so that it has the optimal impact in getting the outcome you want,&rdquo; Ms Gately explains.

<content><![CDATA[How do you explain to a member of your team that they have body odour? It&rsquo;s a delicate conversation &ndash; you don&rsquo;t want them to feel terrible, but it&rsquo;s important to let them know. For help, we turn to HR guru and CEO of Corporate Dojo, Karen Gately. Body odour aside, most businesses require a certain standard of appearance, particularly in customer-facing roles. Is it okay to expect staff to cover those tattoos and nose piercings, polish the shoes, and keep hair tied back? Karen says it&#39;s important to outline your expectations in a carefully-worded and clear dress code.

<content><![CDATA[How can HR professionals facilitate a flexible environment that helps &lsquo;sandwich generation&rsquo; employees manage their personal and professional obligations?

 

Over recent decades, people have been having children later in life. In combination with life expectancies rising, this has resulted in a sandwich generation. 

 

Support with policy and cultural change.

Here are some tips to consider that could help you better support employees who fall into the sandwich generation:

1. Leadership mindset

2. Flexible work arrangements

3. Offer practical support

5. Continued communication

<content><![CDATA[If you&#39;re still looking for love this Valentine&#39;s Day, it might be time to forget the online dating apps and start looking around the office.

75% of Aussies believe long-term romance is possible in the workplace. 

Rules of play from Karen Gately:

IF YOU are in a romantic relationship at work or thinking about it, there are a few things to keep in mind:


	Be discreet: No one wants to have to put up with a couple flirting or bickering at work. No matter how cute or amazing you think your partner is, remember your colleagues probably don&#39;t want to hear about it every time they walk past your desk.
	Understand workplace laws: Sexual harassment is an unwanted behaviour which makes a person feel offended, humiliated or intimidated. Read the signals your romantic interest sends about their interest in you and a relationship.
	Is the relationship important? If you&#39;re just looking for a good time, make sure the person you get involved with understands that. Leaving a trail of broken hearts and trust in your wake is unlikely to do anything good for your career.

<content><![CDATA[Promising your employees bonuses or promotions, but never following through is known as &ldquo;breadcrumbing&rdquo;. The term originates from modern dating, where someone is being led-on with small morsels of interest, like phone calls and texts, but nothing eventuates. Karen Gately of Corporate Dojo says breadcrumbing in the workplace is dishonest, disrespectful and unfair. A more effective way to motivate staff, she says, is by being proactive and clear about individual expectations.

<content><![CDATA[Some experts say that narcissists might not always be bad for business. How can organisations capitalise on their strengths while keeping their faults in check?

Widely seen to be synonymous with self-absorption and arrogance, narcissim is not a term most managers would wish to be associated with.

With that being said, many people with narcissistic tendencies embody characteristics that recruiters look for when hiring for leadership roles. Often self-assured, charismatic and able to make difficult decisions without holding back, a narcissist might come across as the ideal candidate for a managerial position &ndash; on the surface.

<content><![CDATA[To keep abreast of the staff-shortage crisis, retailers need to invest in their most valuable asset: current employees.

With staff shortages causing havoc across the retail industry, employee-retention strategies are being used by savvy operators who understand the value that staff bring to a business.

While the worst of the impacts caused by lockdowns are hopefully behind us, shortages continue to plague the industry. Research from the Australian Retailers Association (ARA) reveals that the search for new employees has got steadily worse.

<content><![CDATA[It&rsquo;s challenging for companies across most industries to find people right now. An increasingly popular tool is LinkedIn, where people tend to post a comprehensive list of their work history, like a traditional resume. LinkedIn also allows you to post a job ad, says Karen Gately, CEO of Corporate Dojo. Karen explains what to include in an ad, and how to sift through, hopefully, the tonne of applications you receive.

<content><![CDATA[Karen Gately, CEO of Corporate Dojo, has seen some horror behaviour from employees who have exited a business. Sometimes, a disgruntled employee who is let go might seek revenge by exposing inner secrets of the organisation. That&rsquo;s just one example. Karen says you want to make sure that any redundancy you do is handled well, with respect and within the law. Otherwise, the costs and reputation to your business can cut deeply.

<content><![CDATA[When it comes to negotiating inflation pay rises, for a long time there&#39;s been a simple rule: don&#39;t mention inflation. 

The reasoning has been that, basically, bosses don&#39;t care how you&#39;re doing financially, and whether or not you can make ends meet.

Pay rise negotiations should be about what you bring to the organisation, and why they need you, rather than what you need.

<content><![CDATA[&#39;If conversations are happening, there shouldn&#39;t be any surprises when the annual performance review comes around&#39;.

Performance reviews. The very words make hearts sink, not just among employees but among managers. It&#39;s not that employees don&#39;t want feedback or that leaders don&#39;t want to develop their staff &ndash; far from it. But too often, performance reviews have a bad rap. They&#39;re seen as a time-consuming, box-ticking exercise, valued neither by managers nor staff.

<content><![CDATA[Have you considered offering pay rises to your staff to reflect the rise in inflation? There&rsquo;s a lot to consider, including whether you can afford it, whether your staff deserves it, and what the right salary is for your industry. HR expert Karen Gately says the discussion you have about pay shouldn&rsquo;t be done in an ad hoc way &ndash; it should be prepared well in advance and discussed with employees at the right time during the year.

<content><![CDATA[Many young Americans now have fewer rights than their mothers did at their age, due to the overturning of Roe v Wade.

Access to abortion is no longer a guaranteed right in America, and states will be able to decide whether abortion is legal and accessible in their jurisdiction. This could dramatically shift the face of America.

And, for the first time in Australia we now have data on the gender pay gap that is broken down by age - and it&#39;s pretty grim. There is no age bracket where women don&#39;t earn less than men.

Dina Zirlott, US abortion advocate

<content><![CDATA[Picture this: you&#39;re minding your own business when your phone starts ringing. Why is someone calling, and why don&#39;t they just text? How dare they.

In the olden days people would wait by the phone for a call. Now, we shudder at the thought of having to answer a stranger at the end of the line. And it&#39;s causing tension in the workplace. So what are we afraid of?

And, the spicy cough is striking again, with some people on their second, third, even fourth round of COVID in a couple of months since their last infection. Some experts thought immunity would last longer, but then Omicron happened. Plus, a big call was made about trans athletes who compete in swimming, and activists say it&#39;s transphobic.

Dr Kirsty Short, University of Queensland

This of course is especially true for those operating in states enduring repeated and lengthy periods of lockdown.

 

Unfortunately, none of us has the power to control our circumstances. The simple truth is the only real power we have in life is to choose how we perceive the reality we are faced with and in turn respond.

We can choose to rail against the truth or choose to focus on what is within our control and find ways to navigate ourselves through.

<content><![CDATA[When Sheryl Sandberg announced the introduction of sponsored egg freezing at Facebook in 2014, some criticised the move as a ploy to drive women to delay motherhood until it suited the business.

But a recent study by Monash University in Australia signals a change in attitudes, with almost half of 656 Victorian women surveyed believing it appropriate to offer egg freezing as an employee benefit. 

Facebook and Apple paved the way and today around one in five large US companies offer female employees financial support to access egg freezing, with experts predicting Australia could soon follow suit.

Karen Gately, an HR specialist and founder of Corporate Dojo, told Inside Retail that employer-sponsored egg freezing could be included under a broader category of supporting the health and well being of people. &ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t have to be a standalone program &hellip; if we just have a health and wellbeing benefit that people can draw on if they have special needs it gets away from that idea that it&rsquo;s just for one particular gender,&rdquo; Gately told Inside Retail, saying this could extend to IVF programs.

<content><![CDATA[If there are any lessons to come out of our experience with COVID, it&rsquo;s how we&rsquo;ve learnt to adapt to change. Many businesses have discovered that flexible workplaces, for example, have empowered employees to get on with doing what&rsquo;s important. Karen Gately, CEO of Corporate Dojo, says we&rsquo;re seeing a move away from a command-and-control style of leadership.

<content><![CDATA[Bullying in the workplace is never OK, but it is a reality for many. The experience can have a detrimental impact on health and wellbeing and may be related to long-term negative impacts. In this special double episode of the podcast we discuss workplace bullying and harassment and what kind of support is available for those who experience it.

In the first episode, our host Mark Aiken speaks to Karen Gately, HR Consultant and Director of Corporate DOJO. They provide information, insights, resources, tips, strategies and explore the choices you may consider enabling you to return to your best self if your experience of workplace bullying has knocked you for a six. Karen explains the workplace factors that put people at risk of bullying and harassment and the importance of leadership that fosters a culture of trust and respect where workplace bullying is not tolerated to ensure that staff are supported to thrive. We also discuss the &lsquo;unconscious bully&rsquo; and factors that may cause a person to engage in bullying and harassment. Karen offers her thoughts on solutions to help prevent or solve the issue of bullying in the workplace.

At Nurse &amp; Midwife Support, we understand that those experience workplace bullying and harassment need support. The more well researched and informative resources that are available the better! In fact it&rsquo;s such a broad topic that we couldn&rsquo;t cover it in just one podcast episode, so we brought you two. This is part one of our two part series on workplace bullying and harassment. Content warning: this podcast contains information regarding bullying which may be unsettling for some people. Call us on 1800 667 877 if you would like to talk.

At the heart of the problem, says Karen Gately, CEO of HR consultancy Corporate Dojo, is culture. Leaders are in a position to shape the behaviours of those in the workplace, whether they run a large corporate or a small enterprise.

<content><![CDATA[Promising your employees bonuses or promotions, but never following through is known as &ldquo;breadcrumbing&rdquo;. The term originates from modern dating, where someone is being led-on with small morsels of interest, like phone calls and texts, but nothing eventuates.

Karen Gately of Corporate Dojo says breadcrumbing in the workplace is dishonest, disrespectful and unfair. A more effective way to motivate staff, she says, is by being proactive and clear about individual expectations.

An Australian workplace has changed the rules so their bosses can&#39;t force them to do any work after hours.

Karen Gately interviewed on Triple J Hack. They unpacked &quot;the right to disconnect&quot;. Refer to the ABC article below to see what that means &#x1F447; Basically, because of remote working, lots of employees are working well beyond 9-5 hours.

The right to disconnect &ndash; won in the union&#39;s most recent negotiations &ndash; directs managers to respect leave and rest days and avoid contacting officers outside work hours, unless in an emergency or to check on their welfare.

We feel like we can&#39;t switch off as we live in our workplace.

So how do we fix that?

Is the &quot;always-on&quot; culture here to stay?

<content><![CDATA[We&#39;ve all heard horror stories about former employees turning on their employers, so how can you protect your organisation so employees don&#39;t try to burn it all down on their way out?

Karen Gately, founder of HR consultancy Corporate Dojo, has seen a lot of interesting employee behaviour during her career. But if you asked her about the most mind-blowing thing a former employee has done, one particular story stands out because it involved a member of the HR team.

So what can organisations do?

1. Train leaders in conflict resolution

2. Have better exit interviews

3. Offer ongoing support

4. Implement legal protections

5. Block past employees access

<content><![CDATA[It can be tough to let someone down in an internal hiring process.

In-house hiring can be a smart, efficient option for organisations. For employees, knowing that promotions are on the table can be an incentive to stay at the company. 

But for HR managers, internal hiring can be a delicate process. The fallout can be a little, well, awkward. 

How to avoid alienating the people that don&#39;t get the gig:

- Have fair and consistent protocols

- Don&#39;t put people forward if they&#39;re not ready

- Be upfront and honest

- Set people up for future success

<content><![CDATA[Effective communication is always important, but in times of upheaval it becomes critical.

In one sense, the events of the past few months have dramatically transformed the way organisations manage internal communication. Social distancing has meant that, for a period at least, &ldquo;we&rsquo;re not always sitting in the same room&rdquo;. 

In another sense, the principles of effective communication remain unchanged. Clarity and consistency remain essential.

Tips for maintaining strong communication during a pandemic are:

- Managing strong emotions

- Communication toolbox

- Seize the chance

]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[Welcome to Black Belt Leader. On the show today we will be exploring how we can intentionally get to a place where we feel more consistently happy.

We&rsquo;re joined by two leading experts who will share their views on why happiness matters to quality of life but also success at work.

First, let&rsquo;s look at some facts. According to research relative to their glummer peers, happier people are more satisfied with their jobs; they also receive greater social support from coworkers and better performance evaluations from supervisors. One study found that sales agents with a more positive outlook sold 37% more life-insurance policies than their less positive colleagues.

- Understand your team

<description><![CDATA[On the show today we will be chatting about innovation through crisis.
]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[WELCOME TO BLACK BELT LEADER!

On the show today we will be chatting about innovation through crisis. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, businesses are being forced to innovate. Around the world, beermakers and distilleries have shifted production to hand sanitizers.

In Italy, a start-up engineering company began quickly using 3D printers to create the valves used in ventilators. Those just-in-time valves are saving lives. When we look back on the current health crisis, there&rsquo;s no doubt that we&rsquo;ll learn that it resulted in a number of innovations: new drugs and medical devices, improved healthcare processes, manufacturing and supply chain breakthroughs, novel collaboration techniques.

There&rsquo;s no doubt recessions are bad for business, although it&rsquo;s not all bad news as some of the biggest companies in the world have been born during the Great Depression or the GFC, for example Disney, Microsoft, Burger King and Apple. Innovation also drives productivity during and beyond a pandemic. Thanks to past innovation, we can all work from home and stay connected during tough times.

<content><![CDATA[Welcome to Black Belt Leader.

On the show today we will be talking to a couple of guests about how we can all more effectively integrate the demands of work with our broader priorities in life. We&rsquo;ll be exploring what work life integration means in a world when so many people are now working and living in the same space, and essential strategies to ensuring we achieve balance.

First, let&rsquo;s look at some research. Business.com did a study on work-life integration and found the following statistics:

&middot; 52% of employees check work emails during their weekends and holidays

&middot; 42% of employees feel obligated to check work emails during their weekends and holidays

&middot; 44% of employees believe they should have the freedom to define their own work schedule

&middot; 51% of employees believe a traditional 9-5 work routine is outdated

<description><![CDATA[Karen writes candidly about her mental health battles in light of R U OK day.
]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[The first time I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety the strongest emotion I felt was embarrassment.  When my husband shared &lsquo;the news&rsquo; with another family member I was devastated, convinced what would follow was unwanted pity and ultimately loss of respect from people I care about. 

What I&rsquo;ve learned is that I&rsquo;m not alone and I&rsquo;m far from unique.  Often I meet people who are or have in the past battled mental illness and felt similarly ashamed and wanting to keep their struggles to themselves.  According to the Black Dog Institute 54% of people with mental illness do not access any treatment.

	Working from home raises legal implications that need to be addressed.
	Many companies have had to develop a work-from-home policy at short notice.
	As an employee, you have the right to request the necessary equipment to get your job done.


 

Do I need a work-from-home policy?

Is my workspace safe?

What if I don&#39;t have the right equipment?

Should I use my own laptop?

What if I hurt myself while working at home?

What if I&#39;m just not coping with working from home?

Am I entitled to a free lunch?

What other support is there?

<content><![CDATA[Welcome to Black Belt Leader. I&rsquo;m Karen Gately, Founder of Corporate Dojo. On the show today we&rsquo;ll be talking to two productivity experts who will share their insights to how we can remove distractions and &lsquo;noise&rsquo; from our work world and operate with greater discipline and focus.

But first, let&rsquo;s look at some research from the Bureau of Statistics.

&middot; A study by Atlassian showed that, on average, employees spend an hour a day in meetings, for a total of 31 hours/month. The same study found that almost half of employees believed meetings to be the number one time-waster at work.

&middot; A study from Florida State University found that productivity and performance of employees at work are at their peak during uninterrupted 90-minute intervals.

&middot; The American Psychological Association reports that employees are more productive on days where they exercise before work. The study also found that physically active employees were less likely to develop job burnout and depression.

&middot; A study from Harvard University found that companies lost almost $65B in 2019 because of employee sleep deprivation.

&middot; A study from Gensler found that the most significant factor in workplace effectiveness is not collaboration, but rather individual focus work. It also happens to be that focus is measured as the least supported workplace activity.

Depending on who you ask, personality assessment tests are either an essential recruitment tool or a waste of time and resources. With hard-to-measure soft skills becoming more important, will personality tests rise to the challenge or fade into oblivion?
Have a read of Karen&#39;s latest article with INTHEBLACK.


If you know who and what you are dealing with, your people can build empathy to understand the other person&#39;s perspective. You don&#39;t have to agree with them... but listening and respecting different perspectives is key.
Do you use personality tests? Would love to hear your experiences.

<content><![CDATA[Employing the wrong person can make a leader&#39;s job harder and affect a team&#39;s productivity. Here are seven tips to ensure you make the right choice.

Reflect for a moment on when you have made hiring mistakes. What were the consequences of bringing the wrong person or people into your team? If you get hiring decisions wrong, your job is made significantly harder as you fix challenges created by poor behaviours or bridge gaps due to inadequate capability.

Hiring the right person starts with a commitment to selecting candidates who are clearly aligned with your organisation&#39;s values. If a candidate&#39;s thinking and approach have a detrimental effect on the spirit, engagement or performance of the rest of your team, hiring them comes at a big cost. Be disciplined and patient as you search for the right person who brings the character traits that will enable them and your team to thrive.

Here are seven tips to help you get the hiring process right:

1. Ask the right questions

2. Use collective wisdom

3. Assess a candidate&#39;s career aspirations

4. Look beyond your interview

5. Reverse the reference check process

6. Be diligent about probation

7. Fail fast

<content><![CDATA[Welcome to Black Belt Leader. I&rsquo;m Karen Gately, Founder of Corporate Dojo.

On the show today we will be looking at essential skills leaders need to be an effective coach.

We&rsquo;ll look at how those operating only as a manager can have far greater impact on the growth and success of each person on their team, by putting on the coaches hat. But first, let&rsquo;s look at some statistics.

&middot; In a study conducted by Manchester Inc among the benefits to companies that provided coaching to executives there was a 53% improvement in productivity.

&middot; Executives who received coaching improved their working relationships by 77%.

According to the Employee Experience Index:

&middot; 83% of employees who receive recognition for their performance, and 80% of those receiving feedback, reported a positive employee experience.

On the show today we will be exploring what leaders can do to effectively manage energy. How its generated and invested. Reflect for a moment on the impact your energy levels have on your capacity to think, feel and behave in ways that are enabling of your success. Our guests will be sharing strategies for ensuring your team are charged and ready to expend energy where it matters most.

First up, let&rsquo;s talk about the signs of employee disengagement, and what to do about them. Engagement put simply is the extent to which people feel connected with and committed to their job, team and organisation. Being connected is most clearly reflected in the emotional ownership people feel; in other words how much they really care about achieving their own objectives as well as the success of the team. So, how do you spot disengagement? The 5 most common signs of disengaged staff include-

1. Absenteeism

2. Lack of discretionary effort

3. Absence of teamwork

4. Suboptimal productivity

5. Poor quality of work Now that we know the signs, let&rsquo;s unpack driving engagement.

The 4 common influencers of a person&rsquo;s spirit and therefore, engagement at work include:

1. Sense of personal value

2. Relationships

3. Purpose and meaning

4. Belief

<content><![CDATA[Welcome to Black Belt Leader &ndash; proudly powered by Miller Leith &ndash; Recruitment Specialists and Career Services provider. I&rsquo;m Karen Gately, Founder of Corporate Dojo.

On the show today we will be exploring where the line is between innocent banter and workplace bullying. We&rsquo;ll be asking our guests to share their views on how we can maintain many of the positive influences having a laugh and a bit of fun has on our work environments, while at the same time ensuring no one feels bullied.

It&rsquo;s common for people accused of bullying to claim innocence on the basis of an absence of intention or ill will. The reality is however, in the eyes of Australian workplace law, it&rsquo;s the impact of our behaviors that determines whether or not we are in fact over the line &ndash; not our intentions or even conscious awareness of the consequences of our actions.

Welcome to Black Belt Leader &ndash; proudly powered by Miller Leith &ndash; Recruitment Specialists and Career Services provider. I&rsquo;m Karen Gately, Founder of Corporate Dojo. On the show today we&rsquo;ll be talking about gender bias in the workplace.

Let&rsquo;s start by looking at some facts about gender workplace statistics at a glance in Australia:

35.2% of boards and governing bodies have no female directors.

By contrast, only 0.9% had no male directors.

Women hold: 13.7% of chair positions

25.8% of directorships

17.1% of CEOs

<content><![CDATA[Welcome to Black Belt Leader &ndash; proudly powered by Miller Leith &ndash; Recruitment Specialists and Career Services provider.

I&rsquo;m Karen Gately, Founder of Corporate Dojo. On the show today we&rsquo;ll be talking about the acquiring and hiring of great leaders. We will start off with what due diligence often fails to predict and will finish off with what CEOs need to know about hiring leaders.

Let&rsquo;s start by looking at some facts about due diligence in Australia: Due diligence is an investigation, audit, or review performed to confirm the facts of a matter under consideration. In the financial world, due diligence requires an examination of financial records before entering into a proposed transaction with another party According to research the failure rate of mergers and acquisitions sits between 70 &ndash; 90% A KPMG study indicates that 83% of merger deals did not boost shareholder returns.

]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[Welcome to Black Belt Leader &ndash; proudly powered by Miller Leith &ndash; Recruitment Specialists and Career Services provider. I&rsquo;m Karen Gately, Founder of Corporate Dojo. On the show today we&rsquo;ll be talking about the benefits of contracting during these times of uncertainty, for both employers and professionals looking for a new opportunity. Let&rsquo;s start by looking at some facts about contracting in Australia:

&middot; According to 2019 ABS data, the industries which had the highest percentage of independent contractors were Construction (27%), Administration and support services (17%) and Professional, scientific and technical services (14%).

&middot; The largest proportional increases for independent contractors from 2014 to 2019 were seen in Transport, postal and warehousing (10.7% to 13.2%), and Information media and telecommunications (5.7% to 9.3%). What the current environment will mean for these numbers is yet to be seen. It&rsquo;s reasonable to anticipate an increase in demand for a flexible workforce (freelancers/ contractors/ independent workers) and the substantial reshaping of the labor market and economy as a consequence.

On the show today we&rsquo;ll be talking about self-awareness, and why it matters to our abilty to be an effective leader and trusted colleague. Fun Fact But first a fun fact about self awareness - Research shows that 95% of people think they are self-aware, when in fact only 10-15% of people are. Psychologist Tasha Eurich said &ldquo;On a good day, 80 percent of us are lying to ourselves about whether we are lying to ourselves&quot;.

<content><![CDATA[Corporate Dojo Founder Karen Gately says now is the time to think critically about what you want from a career and look at a potential &ldquo;shift in direction&rdquo; to pursue after coronavirus restrictions are lifted. As unemployment explodes across Australia and the globe, Ms Gately said it was important for people to &ldquo;maintain their mental health, their confidence and their strength of spirit&rdquo; so they could &ldquo;move forward&rdquo; and &ldquo;redefine&rdquo; what it is they want from their career. &ldquo;Aligning our careers with what we love, what we are great at and what gives us energy is a great starting point&quot;. She advised people to make the most of their time and &ldquo;to think outside the square and challenge how we work, where we work and what we do&rdquo;.

<content><![CDATA[Welcome to Black Belt Leader &ndash; proudly powered by Miller Leith &ndash; Recruitment Specialists and Career Services provider. I&rsquo;m Karen Gately, Founder of Corporate Dojo. On the show today we&rsquo;ll be talking about how to optimise the impact of your communications. Our facial expressions account for more than half of the signals we send. Words only convey about 7% of what we&rsquo;re trying to say. The other 93% is communicated through facial expressions and the tone of your voice. Research shows that most people spend 60% of their conversation time talking about themselves. This number jumps to 80% while conversing on social media. Around 25% of people report suffering from glossophobia, the fear of public speaking

<content><![CDATA[Millennials are a frustrating generation according to the baby boomers or generation X. Millennials have a bad reputation and are often accused of being &#39;impatient&#39;, &#39;demanding&#39; and even &#39;self-centred&#39;. All generations are different, and have different challenges for employers. Unfortunately for the &#39;older&#39; generations, by 2025, millennials will make up for 75% of the workforce, so it&#39;s time for &#39;older&#39; leaders to move past their criticisms and focus on how to work together. Millennials hold expectations and behave in ways unique to them, these are the six common traits: &#39;Why&#39; matters - millennials want to understand your thinking and need to be told why they should get on board with the job. Purpose - millennials are not as money-focused as other generations before them, they are looking to make a meaningful contribution to the world. Balance - they have been taught there is more to life than work, and want to achieve a better work/ life balance than their parents. Autonomy - millennials want freedom and to be empowered. Optimism - millennials possess the amazing quality of optimism, which can be great for an employer, they put their hands up for opportunities and believe in themselves optimistically. The last common trait of a millennial is their love of change, after living through so many technological advances - they look for change and respond well to it.

<content><![CDATA[The five signs of employee disengagement, and what to do about them.

Engagement put simply is the extent to which people feel connected with and committed to their job, team and organisation. Being connected is most clearly reflected in the emotional ownership people feel; in other words how much they really care about achieving their own objectives as well as the success of the team.

How to spot disengagement:

The 5 most common signs of disengaged staff include -

1. Absenteeism

2. Lack of discretionary effort

3. Absence of teamwork

4. Suboptimal productivity 

5. Poor quality of work

DRIVING ENGAGEMENT, the four common influencers of a person&#39;s spirit and therefore, engagement at work include:

1. Sense of personal value

2. Relationships

3. Purpose and meaning

4. Belief

<content><![CDATA[Welcome to Black Belt Leader.

We learn in the martial arts that to be a Sensei and guide others on a journey of self-mastery, these character traits are essential. On Black Belt Leader we&#39;ll be exploring how to develop your character and the capabilities needed to get the best from people on your team. We&#39;re excited about the line-up of guests who will be joining us to share their wisdom on leveraging human potential and overcoming common people challenges in business.

On the show today, we&#39;ll be talking about recruitment and how to make the right hiring decisions. Among the most important messages we want you to take from today&rsquo;s show is that recruitment is the backbone of your HR strategy. If you get the hiring decision wrong your job is unquestionably made harder.

Reflect for a moment on when you, or other leaders you know, have battled to overcome challenges created when people lack the character traits or capabilities you need. All too often for example, leaders make the mistake of hiring people who have the qualifications or experience needed, but lack the mindsets and behaviours that allow them to be successful in the role or team. The time, energy, momentum and money lost when the wrong decision are made, is immense. Joining us on the show today are two guests who have extensive experience helping businesses all over Australia recruit the right people for their team.

First, Rupert Saint - Director at Carrington King will be joining us, and later in the show Kylie Jasinski &ndash; Director at Prime Recruitment &amp; Consulting will be here to share her insights to the biggest mistakes hiring managers make and how to avoid them. If there are topics you would like us to explore, please get in touch via our website corporatedojo.com or via our social media channels. Thanks for joining us, and remember you choose &ndash; will you be an ordinary or awesome leader of people?

<content><![CDATA[When a prospective employer asks in an interview &quot;do you have any questions for me&quot; - typically they are continuing their assessment of you. Many people sit back and say &quot;no&quot; but the interviewers are often judging your sustainability of the role and business through the questions you may ask. Not asking any questions may make you appear unmotivated or unprepared, asking questions is an opportunity not to be missed! The most powerful questions you can ask include: what are the most important indicators of success in the role? What is the typical career path for a person in this role? Who will the incumbent of this role need to have particularly strong relationships with and why? What are the most common obstacles to success for someone in this role? What are the organisations biggest priorities and how will this tole make a difference to achieving those outcomes? What types of people typically thrive in this organisation? At the end of the day, most employers are looking to hire people who are engaged and want to do well, so reflect on the questions above and any others you may want answers to, before heading into an interview.

<content><![CDATA[How well do you leverage the talent, energy and capacity of your EA? Do you work in partnership to optimise your own performance and that of your team? Contemplate for a moment the extent to which your EA supports your ability to be at your best. EAs often have a strong influence on their managers&#39; reputation, relationships and overall effectiveness. EAs are instrumental in enabling the success of their boss and should be worked with in a partnership. Some EAs complain of feeling underutilised, but their CEO bosses are working beyone capacity. Failing to tap into the talent and energy of the person you hired to enable productivity is a common mistake made by CEOs, they often underestimate their EAs and their ability to work beyond their role.

<content><![CDATA[For many organisations, the past and its legacies can be a clunking great imperial measurement spanner in the works of progress. Leaders continue to ply tried-and-trusted, outdated management practices that undermine success and limt potential and opportunity. Having to battle old school mindsets, based on the belief that structure and control are keys to enabling performance, is a frustrating and demoralising state-of-affairs, while watching competitors warp-speed to another dimension compounds despair.

<content><![CDATA[So, you&#39;ve been waiting to be recognised for your hard work in the form of a pay rise, but it doesn&#39;t look like it&#39;s going to happen soon. It&#39;s time for that change, says Karen Gately. This is the year to earn what you deserve. Sometimes it&#39;s hard to get the recognition you deserve, you&#39;ve done so much hard work and you believe it&#39;s time for a pay rise! In 2019, you can take these important steps to ensure you get a pay rise. Firstly, own your job - don&#39;t just turn up to work, go the extra mile and take opportunities when they arise. This means speaking up when you need help and helping to reach the key objectives of the team. Secondly, understand what you&#39;re worth. Do research and work out how much you deserve in comparison to people in your role, if you have been in a job for 3 years and are a great performer, maybe it&#39;s time to ask for a raise. Have honest conversations with others to find out what you are truly worth. Put your hand up - talk to your manager and ask for a raise, there&#39;s no harm in putting yourself out there, the worst that can happen is you get told no, you haven&#39;t lost anything. Grow - ask your manager for tips on what you need to get that pay rise. And finally, expect fairness. If you believe you have earned a pay rise but you don&#39;t get one, maybe it&#39;s time to move on to a new job.

<content><![CDATA[Sometimes your skillset works against you. It&#39;s common to see people who have held senior positions in the past now struggling to get another one, even a few rungs down the ladder. Recruiters can dismiss a candidate based on if their resume suggests they&#39;re overqualified. It can be hard for those who have been successful in senior roles to convince recruiters and employers that they would be willing to settle for more modest roles. These candidates have two big hurdles to overcome - getting an interview and then trying to convince their prospective employer that they&#39;re genuine about the role and not just using it as a stepping stone. It&#39;s important to have a strategy and know your niche.

<content><![CDATA[We all make mistakes, but mistakes in recruitment can be costly. Here&#39;s how you can avoid some common ones. There are many surprisingly common mistakes that hiring managers make and they are: ignoring the receptionist&#39;s input, assuming the best and brightest are looking for, turning on, tuning in and dropping out, putting all your eggs in one basket, relaxing too soon, failing to consider the family, forgetting you&#39;re being assessed too, saying too much especially in writing.

<content><![CDATA[The ways in which work affects our mental health and wellbeing are complex and varied. What research consistently reveals is that work can be immensely beneficial but also harmful to our mental health, and in turn to our physical wellbeing and quality of life.

Building a workplace culture that is good for mental health takes a genuine commitment. All too often leaders espouse cultural values that they fail to adopt. Bullying, discrimination and harassment continue to be serious issues experienced by far too many working Australians. Bosses need to make stamping this out a priority and in turn they will shape a welcoming and accepting workplace culture.

<title><![CDATA[Questions to avoid asking returning mums]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[For employers welcoming women back into the workforce after having children, there are questions that can be asked and others that should not be. 
]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[Women returning to work from maternity leave are often asked lots of ridiculous sexist questions. Some examples are &quot;Will you be taking maternity leave again?&quot; &quot;Are you ready to get back into work?&quot; &quot;Can we rely on you?&quot; despite Australian laws prohibiting return-to-work discriminations, one in every two mothers reported driscrimination in the workplace. Asking discriminatory questions during the hiring process is illegal, understanding what recruiters can and can&#39;t ask mums returning to work starts with being aware of the law - intentions are irrelevant. Conscious and unconcious biases have no place in the conversation of women returning to work, women don&#39;t need to be shamed when they are back at work and asked &quot;Who is looking after your kids?&quot;, people need to check their biases. There are lots of things leaders and colleagues can do to support women to have a smooth transition back into work, so don&#39;t be afraid to ask how you can help. Organisations should leverage the potential of women returning to work, as often they can gain and improve transferrable skills during their time away from the workplace.

First, create an environment where people want to work. &quot;One of the most important things you need is a solid reputation&quot; says leadership and people management specialist Karen Gately, founder of Corporate Dojo. &quot;If candidates are asking somewhere who currently works there what it&#39;s like, they need to be hearing really positive things. They have to be inspired to want to pursue an opportunity with your practice.&quot; Culture is a significant contributor to an employer&#39;s brand.

<content><![CDATA[A healthy body enables employees to perform at their best. The link between the strength of our performance is irrefutable, according to Karen Gately. Workplaces should prioritise consistent exercise in order to have a healthy body and mind, as it is essential for peak work performance. People will perform at their best when they are mentally strong and engaged at work. Exercise isn&#39;t about being fit, it is about being heathly and having an improved mood and cognitive ability. In a perfect world, people should make their physical and mental healthy a priority but that won&#39;t happen without the support of those around them (HR).

<content><![CDATA[Navigating a relationship with a boss who you suspect may be a bully is difficult at the best of times. It can lead to psychological and physical stress. It&#39;s important to first decipher if you are really being bullied before accusing someone of bullying. Bullying is repeated, targeted behaviour that has the impact of leaving somoene feeling intimidated, embarrassed and humiliated. It&#39;s important to have tough and honest conversations and how you are feeling, and never ignore the fact you are being bullied or it could be bottled up and explode later down the track. The best approach is to talk to your bully, but it can be dangerous and not everyone feels comfortable enough to do so. For those who aren&#39;t confident enough to bring it up with her bully, they should talk to a mentor or HR about how to handle their conflict.

]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[Australia&rsquo;s gender pay gap is currently at 14.1%. Women have found that their pay and conditions are different to men doing the same job as them. There is a new app called Pep Talk Her, it works by encouraging women to record their salary as well as their achievements, successes and wins at work, all of which becomes data to back up conversations about pay rise and promotions when the time comes. The app was created to change women&rsquo;s views on their self-worth, and give them the tools to advocate and negotiate for themselves. It&rsquo;s about the data and the confidence: women are great communicators but not always the best negotiators with the confidence. Women are often used to not wanting to rock the boat. Confidence is the key to a successful pay negotiation and hopefully this app gives it to women everywhere.

<content><![CDATA[It&#39;s time to get back to work after a relaxing holiday, but hundreds, if not thousands, of emails await you. Sure, carrying out a bulk delete is a quick way to deal with excessive emails, but is it the best way? A good option is to keep your out-of-offie reply on for a couple of days after your return to work so you can manage a backlog of emails, it is suggested to create a backlog folder and allocate time per email to go through and either delete, delegate or respond. Having a well-written out-of-office reply is important too - language used and a direct approach is necessary. Individuals must avoid drowning in emails otherwise it may induce stress.

<content><![CDATA[Millennials are a frustrating generation according to the baby boomers or generation X. Millennials have a bad reputation and are often accused of being &#39;impatient&#39;, &#39;demanding&#39; and even &#39;self-centred&#39;. All generations are different, and have different challenges for employers. Unfortunately for the &#39;older&#39; generations, by 2025, millennials will make up for 75% of the workforce, so it&#39;s time for &#39;older&#39; leaders to move past their criticisms and focus on how to work together. Millennials hold expectations and behave in ways unique to them, these are the six common traits: &#39;Why&#39; matters - millennials want to understand your thinking and need to be told why they should get on board with the job. Purpose - millennials are not as money-focused as other generations before them, they are looking to make a meaningful contribution to the world. Balance - they have been taught there is more to life than work, and want to achieve a better work/ life balance than their parents. Autonomy - millennials want freedom and to be empowered. Optimism - millennials possess the amazing quality of optimism, which can be great for an employer, they put their hands up for opportunities and believe in themselves optimistically. The last common trait of a millennial is their love of change, after living through so many technological advances - they look for change and respond well to it.

<content><![CDATA[Are you inspiring people to make choices to enable them to think, feel and behave in ways that allow them to be at their best? Most leaders understand that they need to inspire people to get the best from them, but not all leaders feel confident enough to do the inspiring. There are lots of preconceived ideas about what a good leader looks like, some think they have to be charismatic and loud. But the only prerequisite of being a good leader is having earned the respect of your staff by the depth of character and choices they make. It&#39;s important to have an inspired workplace as it affects the success of the individual and the team as a whole. The steps you can take to inspire people are: build trust, understand each person you lead, recognise fear and passion, be the bearer of good news and hope, have honest conversations that build awareness and confidence, guide people to see the influence their choices are having on their health, happiness and success, and guide people to find and do what they are passionate about at work.

<content><![CDATA[While it&rsquo;s common for organisations to aspire to be the best in their industry, many struggle to deliver on the standard of customer experience needed to turn that vision into reality. Lots of organisations fail at building customer relationships because of their attitudes and behaviours towards people. Ensuring your customers&rsquo; rights are respected is an important step to building customer loyalty in a competitive market. When organisations strive to be the best in their industry, they often forget to deliver an excellent customer experience and focus on other parts of the transaction. Driving customer experience through people starts with being clear and honest with what is needed. Organisations should be targeted in their efforts to optimise their customer experience - earning and keeping customers could make or break a business! It is important for organisations to hire well, tap into what customers are thinking and feeling and be held accountable in order to deliver excellent customer service and experience.

<content><![CDATA[Women returning to work from maternity leave are often asked lots of ridiculous sexist questions, often from other women! Some examples are &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t you feel guilty&rdquo; &ldquo;Aren&rsquo;t you afraid you&rsquo;re missing out on seeing your kids growing up&rdquo; mums need to have confidence in the choices they are making. Karen Gately admits she doesn&rsquo;t feel guilty for being a working mum, guilt is a wasted emotion, and it only makes people feel bad about themselves. Working is a choice, and it doesn&rsquo;t stop a mum from being involved in their child&rsquo;s life. You can be a mum while at the same time being passionately invested in work. It is important to implement ground rules, for example not missing school events, to maintain the perfect balance. No leader should ask you to miss the important moments in your children&rsquo;s lives, as they are your priority too. You should prove to your workplace that you are a hard worker and will be successful, then they cannot question you when you ask for flexibility. There are lots of things leaders and colleagues can do to support women have a smooth transition back into work, so don&rsquo;t be afraid to ask how you can help.

<content><![CDATA[Women returning to work from maternity leave are often asked lots of ridiculous sexist questions. Some examples are &ldquo;Will you be taking maternity leave again?&rdquo; &ldquo;Are you ready to get back into work&rdquo; &ldquo;Can we rely on you?&rdquo; despite Australian laws prohibiting return-to-work discrimination, one in two mothers reported discrimination in the workplace. Asking discriminatory questions during the hiring process is illegal, understanding what recruiters can and can&rsquo;t ask mums returning to work starts with being aware of the law &ndash; your intentions are irrelevant. Conscious and unconscious biases have no place in the conversation of women returning to work, women don&rsquo;t need to be shamed when they are back at work and asked who is looking after their kids, check your biases. There are lots of things leaders and colleagues can do to support women have a smooth transition back into work, so don&rsquo;t be afraid to ask how you can help. Organisations should leverage the potential of women returning to work, they can gain and improve skills during their time away from the workplace.

<content><![CDATA[Most employers are simply not engaging in effective or supportive conversations about what being a parent means or what returning-to-work employees need. Many harsh and unfair assumptions are made about new parents, for example that with a young baby at home, some employers assume you won&#39;t be available when needed to take on a more senior role. Discrimination is often born out of lack of understanding surrounding employer obligations as a consequence of their parental status. There are many questions you should not ask to returning-to-work staff, and employers should be wary of &#39;innocent&#39; questions that can open them up to discrimination complaints. A smooth transition is necessary to ensure all staff feel supported and understood.

<content><![CDATA[While it&rsquo;s common for organisations to aspire to be the best in their industry, many struggle to deliver on the standard of customer experience needed to turn that vision into reality. Lots of organisations fail at building customer relationships because of their attitudes and behaviours towards people. Ensuring your customers&rsquo; rights are respected is an important step to building customer loyalty in a competitive market. When organisations strive to be the best in their industry, they often forget to deliver an excellent customer experience and focus on other parts of the transaction. Driving customer experience through people starts with being clear and honest with what is needed. Organisations should be targeted in their efforts to optimise their customer experience - earning and keeping customers could make or break a business! It is important for organisations to hire well, tap into what customers are thinking and feeling and be held accountable in order to deliver excellent customer service and experience.

<content><![CDATA[Anxiety is the most common mental health condition in Australia, and depression the second. The business world hasn&rsquo;t seemed to fully grasp that people with mental health challenges need support at work. Poor leadership, low wage growth and workplace connectivity puts Australians under immense mental pressure. Work can be an overwhelming and scary place for those with depression and anxiety, your brain reacts in ways you can&rsquo;t control. Helping employees maintain their mental health makes sense, commercially and ethically. Employers that create a healthy and accepting workplace culture based upon trust and respect are wise if they want staff retention. Organisations should implement education programs and make mental health a priority.

<content><![CDATA[Brands are much more than a name or symbol of a product says Karen Gately. In our highly competitive business world, organisations need redefine their brand to more than a product - they need to have strong organisational culture. Culture is the way things are done within an organisation. Gately knows there are many examples of organisations who have failed to maintain trust within the business because of being too profit-centric. Lack of integrity and bad behaviour are two of the worst things for the organisational culture. Leaders can shape a culture that makes a positive influence on your brand by: setting clear expectations around employee behaviours, understanding the touch points between your business and customers and finally, getting the hiring process right.

<content><![CDATA[Australia&rsquo;s gender pay gap is currently at 14.1%. Women have found that their pay and conditions are different to men doing the same job as them. There is a new app called Pep Talk Her, it works by encouraging women to record their salary as well as their achievements, successes and wins at work, all of which becomes data to back up conversations about pay rise and promotions when the time comes. The app was created to change women&rsquo;s views on their self-worth, and give them the tools to advocate and negotiate for themselves. It&rsquo;s about the data and the confidence: women are great communicators but not always the best negotiators with the confidence. Women are often used to not wanting to rock the boat. Confidence is the key to a successful pay negotiation and hopefully this app gives it to women everywhere.

<content><![CDATA[Millennials are a frustrating generation according to the baby boomers or generation X. Millennials have a bad reputation and are often accused of being &#39;impatient&#39;, &#39;demanding&#39; and even &#39;self-centred&#39;. All generations are different, and have different challenges for employers. Unfortunately for the &#39;older&#39; generations, by 2025, millennials will make up for 75% of the workforce, so it&#39;s time for &#39;older&#39; leaders to move past their criticisms and focus on how to work together. Millennials hold expectations and behave in ways unique to them, these are the six common traits: &#39;Why&#39; matters - millennials want to understand your thinking and need to be told why they should get on board with the job. Purpose - millennials are not as money-focused as other generations before them, they are looking to make a meaningful contribution to the world. Balance - they have been taught there is more to life than work, and want to achieve a better work/ life balance than their parents. Autonomy - millennials want freedom and to be empowered. Optimism - millennials possess the amazing quality of optimism, which can be great for an employer, they put their hands up for opportunities and believe in themselves optimistically. The last common trait of a millennial is their love of change, after living through so many technological advances - they look for change and respond well to it.

<content><![CDATA[It&#39;s common to hear leaders complain about the inherent challenges in keeping millennial workers both engaged, and committed to their business. Millennials often get a bad reputation and are labelled &#39;impatient, demanding and narcissistic&#39; many &quot;older&quot; leaders find millennials hard to understand and hard to influence. Evidence supports the view that differences have always existed between younger and older workers, and that has nothing to do with millennials. Despite having a bad reputatiom, millennials are just as likely as any other worker to make a positive contribution to a business. Here are 4 steps you can take to inspire millennials: be prepared to answer questions, connect with a bigger purpose, enable freedom and autonomy and be appreciative. The big difference between millennials and the generations before them is; change. Millennials are not only comfortable with change, they prefer it and expect it.

]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[The link between our mental strength and physical strength is irrefutable, consistent exercise helps to achieve a healthy body and healthy mind. When staff are mentally strong, they are entirely more likely to be engaged and perform at their best. HR should encourage exercise as it&rsquo;s not only about being fit and healthy but it helps improve the mood of the office and the cognitive ability of staff. The key benefits of wellbeing programs are: exercise is energising and helps people to choose a better attitude, regular exercise has been proven to reduce stress and ward off anxiety and depression, exercise improves cognitive function and investing in health and well-being lifts engagement. Healthy minds and bodies are more likely to thrive at work and in life.

<content><![CDATA[Learning new skills is essential in today&rsquo;s volatile job market. With the right attitude, direction and tools, old dogs can learn new tricks. Limiting beliefs and unconscious bias regarding age is common, often you hear comments such as &ldquo;old people are stuck in their ways&rdquo; and &ldquo;old people don&rsquo;t want to learn&rdquo; this misconception leads some employers to limit the opportunities they give to people over a certain age. Mature aged workers should choose to believe, achieve goals and maintain purpose. Karen Gately gave some tips on how to keep learning; know what you want and why, ask for help, reflect on experience, listen to understand and learn with others.

<content><![CDATA[Hiring someone to work in the business you&rsquo;ve worked so hard to build takes a lot of faith. There are things you can do to ensure they&rsquo;re a good fit. Leaders often make the fatal mistake of prioritising the skills and qualifications of a candidate while ignoring the clear signals of culture misfit. Leaders need to ensure they hire the correct people for roles to avoid this. Leadership teams need to adopt a planned and considered approach to predicting the likelihood of someone being culturally successful in the business. It&rsquo;s essential to leverage each step in the recruitment process to assess what people are capable of and how likely they are to achieve in their new role. It&rsquo;s important to assess capability and assess cultural of all potential staff.

<content><![CDATA[Rewarding and recognising employees needs to be effective in order to boost workplace morale and have a strong culture.

<content><![CDATA[Millennials are a frustrating generation according to baby boomers or generation X. Millennials have a bad reputation and are always accused of being impatient, demanding and self-centred. All generations are different, and have different challenges for employers. Unfortunately for the &lsquo;older&rsquo; generations, by 2025, Millennials will make up 75% of the workforce, so it&rsquo;s time for &lsquo;older&rsquo; leaders to move past their criticisms and focus on how to work together. Millennials hold expectations and behave in ways unique to them, these are the six common traits: &lsquo;Why&rsquo; matters - millennials want to understand your thinking and need to be told why they should get on board with the job. Purpose &ndash; millennials are not as money-focused as other generations before them, they are looking to make a meaningful contribution to the world. Balance &ndash; they have been taught there is more to life than work, and want to achieve a better work/ life balance than their parents. Autonomy &ndash; millennials want freedom and to be empowered. Optimism &ndash; millennials possess the amazing quality of optimism, which can be great for an employer, the put their hands up for opportunities and believe in themselves optimistically. The last common trait of a millennial is their love of change, after living through so many technological advances they look for change and respond well to it.

<content><![CDATA[Some vets reveal euthanising pets can be one of the most emotionally draining aspects of the job, it takes a mental toll on everyone involved. It lots of situations for vets it causes a grief process to trigger and feels very isolating without communication and support from those around them. Programs were developed to identify staff with mental health issues in the vet community - there is now a 24-hour counselling service in Australia as well as workshops on how to handle the mental toll that comes with being a vet. Establishing self-care practices that allow vets to slow down helps them to gain clarity, says Karen Gately. It&rsquo;s always important to educate people that having feelings are okay and they have a safe space to talk about it.

<content><![CDATA[Get wise to what you can and can&rsquo;t ask in a job interview to respect candidates and protect your brand in an increasingly digital world. Everyone prepares for job interviews differently, being prepared is integral to your ability to fairly assess each candidate. Knowing what you should and shouldn&rsquo;t ask in an interview starts with understanding the outcomes you need to achieve. The questions an interviewer asks must not only accurately assess and select the right person for the job, but also build a positive relationship with every candidate and comply with the law. Interviewers need to assess candidates correctly in order to make good hiring decisions, you should gain meaningful insight into someone&rsquo;s skills and experience by identifying relevant scenarios and building questions around them. Being respectful and nurturing healthy relationships with every individual you interview is not only the right thing to do, but also makes good business sense. In Australia, people have a legally protected right to be considered for a job on the basis of skill, aptitude and relevant qualifications, so ensure you are staying within the boundaries of the law during an interview.

Sometimes it&rsquo;s hard to get the recognition you deserve. In 2019, you can take these important steps to ensure you get a pay rise. 1. Own your job &ndash; don&rsquo;t just turn up to work, go the extra mile and take opportunities when they arise. This means speaking up when you need help and helping to reach the key objectives of the team. 2. Understand what you&rsquo;re worth &ndash; do research and work out how much you deserve in comparison to people in your role, if you have been in a job for 3 years and are a great performer, maybe it&rsquo;s time to ask for a raise. Have honest conversations with others to find out what you are truly worth. 4. Put your hand up &ndash; talk to your manager and ask for a raise, there&rsquo;s no harm in putting yourself out there. 4. Grow &ndash; ask your manager for tips on what you need to do to get that pay rise. 5. Expect fairness &ndash; if you believe you have earned a pay rise but don&rsquo;t get one, maybe it&rsquo;s time to move on to a new job.

<content><![CDATA[HR plays a vital role in ensuring team members are healthy, energised and engaged. Unfortunately, lots of staff take leave that isn&rsquo;t genuine. The result of staff faking &lsquo;sickies&rsquo; could lead to lost momentum of critical initiatives, project budget and time blow outs, turnover of high performing team members, and company brand damage. It is believed that faking &lsquo;sickies&rsquo; and absenteeism has a direct correlation to the culture of the workplace. Organisations need to focus on overcoming absenteeism by creating a cultural environment that inspires people to want to give their best. HR need to: engage leaders, make the health and well-being of your people a strategic priority, reserve judgement, make it safe to be honest, be pragmatic, call out sickies, leave no room for doubt and hold people accountable.

<content><![CDATA[This is the year to earn what you deserve. Sometimes it&rsquo;s hard to get the recognition you deserve, you&rsquo;ve done so much hard work and you believe it&rsquo;s time for a pay rise! In 2019, you can take these important steps to ensure you get a pay rise. 1. Own your job &ndash; don&rsquo;t just turn up to work, go the extra mile and take opportunities when they arise. This means speaking up when you need help and helping to reach the key objectives of the team. 2. Understand what you&rsquo;re worth &ndash; do research and work out how much you deserve in comparison to people in your role, if you have been in a job for 3 years and are a great performer, maybe it&rsquo;s time to ask for a raise. Have honest conversations with others to find out what you are truly worth. 4. Put your hand up &ndash; talk to your manager and ask for a raise, there&rsquo;s no harm in putting yourself out there. 4. Grow &ndash; ask your manager for tips on what you need to do to get that pay rise. 5. Expect fairness &ndash; if you believe you have earned a pay rise but don&rsquo;t get one, maybe it&rsquo;s time to move on to a new job.

<content><![CDATA[Driving bullying from any workplace is critical to enabling a team and business to thrive. The simple truth is the way you behave has the greatest influence on whether people experience bullying at work. The behaviours you demonstrate, tolerate, reward and recognise matter equally. Hold yourself and every member of your leadership team accountable for behaving in ways that have a positive impact on the culture and wellbeing of your organisation. Karen Gately is an executive advisor on human performance and leadership. Her approach is heavily influenced by the 25 years she spent training and teaching karate and as a 3rd dan black belt she can be very persuasive when she needs to be!

<content><![CDATA[There are constant challenges of getting ahead in a jobs market that can be all-too-often based on outdated stereotypes. Often Millennials are discriminated against because they are young, some poeple think they are not capable or unqualified. Some say millennials are &#39;entitled&#39; but other managers have said millennials are some of the most driven staff they have.

<content><![CDATA[It might seem a tiny detail, but what you write in a work email could make all the difference. Experts have outlined the things you should NEVER write - and things that you should.

So what shouldn&#39;t you write in an email?

- Yours Sincerely (too formal)

- Yours Faithfully (too formal)

- x (kisses in work emails are unprofessional)

- Thanks! (can come off as demanding)

- Hey (don&#39;t say hey unless you&#39;ve met the person)

- !!! (exclamation marks come across as immature)

 

What you should write in an email:

- Hi

- Hi everyone

- Greetings

<content><![CDATA[The quiet needn&#39;t worry about one of life&#39;s most daunting experiences. Job interviews are difficult for the best of us, but for introverts they&#39;re downright torturous.

Four things introverts can do to ensure they nail an interview:

1. Be okay with taking your time to respond

2. Workshop possible questions and responses beforehand

3. Make a list of your accomplishments

4. Rehearse

Same as everyone before a job interview, it&#39;s important to believe in your preparation and don&#39;t forget to breathe!

<content><![CDATA[How do you feel when someone says thank you? It goes without saying, most people appreciate being told they are appreciated. 

Employees agree recognition is a key driver of their engagement. 

Getting paid a bonus can make you feel appreciated, but without the gratitude from our employer, a bonus is unlikely to have any real impact.

There is some truth in the influence targets and bonuses can have on performance, but it is very unlikely someone is to perform at their best if they feel undervalued (despite how highly paid they are).

Steps to take to optimise the positive impact of the thanks we give, include these:

- Get on with it

- Be present

- Make things personal

- Look for opportunities

<content><![CDATA[Women returning to work from maternity leave are often asked lots of ridiculous sexist questions. Some examples are &quot;Will you be taking maternity leave again?&quot; &quot;Are you ready to get back into work?&quot; &quot;Can we rely on you?&quot; despite Australian laws prohibiting return-to-work discriminations, one in every two mothers reported driscrimination in the workplace. Asking discriminatory questions during the hiring process is illegal, understanding what recruiters can and can&#39;t ask mums returning to work starts with being aware of the law - intentions are irrelevant. Conscious and unconcious biases have no place in the conversation of women returning to work, women don&#39;t need to be shamed when they are back at work and asked &quot;Who is looking after your kids?&quot;, people need to check their biases. There are lots of things leaders and colleagues can do to support women to have a smooth transition back into work, so don&#39;t be afraid to ask how you can help. Organisations should leverage the potential of women returning to work, as often they can gain and improve transferrable skills during their time away from the workplace.
