It was a privilege to work with Salford Lads and Girls Club earlier this year. We've been inspired by their vital work for children and young people in the community, and visiting their club, which is steeped in amazing heritage, was a real highlight. As one of the longest-running youth organisations in the UK, they provide a safe space and opportunities for hundreds of local children and young people. However, they now face financial challenges and need urgent support to continue their mission. If you can, please consider donating to keep the lights on for this historic club. Find out more and donate through the link below. Let's help them make a difference! 💙 https://lnkd.in/e4FAsrYZ #CommunitySupport #Fundraising #SalfordLadsAndGirlsClub #AshfieldHR #ClubFundraising Anthony Groves

Mental Health Awareness Day: Prioritising Wellbeing in the Workplace 💗 Today, on Mental Health Awareness Day, we want to highlight the importance of creating a supportive work environment. Mental Health Foundation revealed that 1 in 7 people in the UK experience mental health challenges at work. This underscores the need for businesses to prioritise employee wellbeing, and one of the most effective ways to do this is through regular check-ins. These conversations provide managers with the opportunity to support their teams - not just on work tasks, but on personal wellbeing too. Whether it’s discussing work-life balance, stress, or time management, regular check-ins can help employees feel valued and supported. Work is busy and we all know how easy it is as managers to let some regular check-ins go. Let's use this World Mental Health Awareness day as the reminder we all need! #WMHD2024 #WorldMentalHealthDay #TimeManagement #HRSupport #LineManagement #AshfieldHR #AlderleyPark #WellnessAtWork #WorkLifeBalance

Mastering Team Dynamics: Bringing Out the Best in Every Employee... Every team is a mix of personalities, each bringing their own strengths to the table. Whether introverted or extroverted, understanding how to manage these different preferences is key to creating a balanced, productive team. 👉 Introverts: Quiet, Focused, and Thoughtful Introverts often thrive in calm environments where they can focus on tasks. They may prefer working independently and need time to reflect before sharing ideas. 👉 Extroverts: Outgoing, Energetic, and Collaborative Extroverts tend to work well in group settings, drawing energy from interactions. They're often the first to speak up and enjoy brainstorming sessions. How to Manage Introverts and Extroverts Effectively: ▫️ Create a balanced environment: Encourage collaboration without forcing participation, ensuring both introverts and extroverts can contribute in ways that suit them. ▫️ Vary communication: Introverts may appreciate written communication and time to process ideas, while extroverts might prefer spontaneous discussions. ▫️ Leverage strengths: Assign tasks that play to each person's strengths - problem-solving and deep work for introverts; team projects and leadership roles for extroverts. ▫️ Hold various meeting styles: Alternate between group discussions and 1:1 check-ins to accommodate everyone’s preferences. Be diverse and recognise that a mix of personalities is key to innovation and success for your company. By understanding both introverts and extroverts, you can get the full potential out of your team.
