The most intense and critical period of the year is here! But are you ready for the Golden Quarter? Chris Grimes, our Sales Director, shares expert insights on navigating the "Golden Quarter" in warehousing and logistics in his latest article for Logistics Matters. Chris emphasises the critical need for early recruitment, flexibility in staffing, and cross-training to manage the holiday surge: preparation is everything. Starting early is non-negotiable—securing a seasonal workforce ensures you're not left behind. 💡 He highlights the importance of: - Early recruitment to secure the best talent before the competition. - Flexibility in staffing to manage unpredictable demand. - Cross-training seasonal staff to build resilience. “If you don’t act early, you risk not only the smooth operation of logistics systems but also the financial performance of the entire business.” By leveraging technology and streamlining onboarding, businesses can stay ahead during peak seasons.

Why should Social Value be an important part of the Public Sector Procurement Process?? Read Matrix's Head of Corporate Responsibility, Siobhan Goss's latest article for the Government & Public Sector Journal. 💡 Siobhan shares a thought-provoking perspective on how social value is no longer an optional consideration; it is now a significant factor in public sector procurement. She highlights the critical importance of suppliers understanding and embracing social value, as the new Procurement Act scheduled for early next year will see a greater focus on Social Value in procurement. With a call to action for public sector leaders and suppliers, Siobhan emphasises it’s not just a tick box exercise, the need to deliver value where it is needed most: “When it comes to social value, collaboration is crucial. Many organisations in the public sector have their own social value champions – people who are focused on delivering regional or community benefits. For those who don’t, there is a wealth of knowledge and best practiced to be shared. On of the strengths of the public sector is its willingness to collaborate and share ideas, and I encourage suppliers to tap into this.” Read Siobhan's full article on the Government and Public Sector Journal: https://lnkd.in/eNt584fx #ProcurementAct #PublicSector #RecruitmentTransformation
