  • It's Pay Review Time - Are You Prepared?
    May 27 2025

    When coming up to end of financial year, it's often a good time to review pays. While you don't have to align your planning with the tax year, it's common to do so, and a good idea to align your pay reviews with customer prices and budgeting to give you the best chance of achieving your profit goals. Don't neglect this important area of people management because underpaid staff could turn into your worse nightmare.

    In this episode, I prepare you for some of the crazy things people believe when asking for more pay and how to combat them - hang on to your hat!

  • Just Why Are You In Business?!! (and what does this have to do with Xmas?)
    Dec 9 2024

    This is the time of year when it is customary to reflect on the past year, and to list out our hopes and resolutions for the coming year. So in this episode I ask the question "Just why are you in business?". I offer some thoughts on why you might be in business, and find some remarkable parallels with the Christmas ethos.
