Let me share a little secret with you!!! 🫢 When a new member walks through our doors at the office, I make it my mission to ensure they feel right at home. Andddddd, you see, starting a new job can be nerve-wracking, so I believe in setting the right tone from the very beginning for anyone & everyone who joins me…. Instead of bombarding 😵💫 them with a barrage of questions and tasks, ‼️ I take a more relaxed approach and…….. what’s that? they're usually eager to jump right into the work and start asking about deadlines and tasks. But I always tell them to slow down a bit and take the time to get to know everyone first. It's always me telling them, "Hey, don't rush! Take a breather, chat with your new colleagues, and get comfortable." Because, I genuinely feel that building good relationships with your team is just as important as meeting deadlines. So, how do you go about welcoming newcomers to your team? 👀

We do our best work when driven by passion. We do our worst when we feel forced to. Managers who take an active interest in supporting the personal development of their employees not only cultivate a happy team but also foster an effective and dedicated one. That’s how you expand your brand from the ground up.  That’s how you get people excited to come to work in the morning. That’s how you help people to find their purpose at work. It’s not rocket science – when you treat people like people, not resources, they bring passion and energy to work. Give it a try.

Happy New Week Lovelies😊 In all you do this week make it a point of duty to maintain a cooperative environment. **Cooperative Environment: ** simply means creating a positive atmosphere where teamwork thrives. Some tips to help you foster a cooperative environment where ever you find yourself are as follows: **Encourage Open Communication**: Create channels (like regular meetings or a messaging platform) where everyone feels comfortable sharing ideas, concerns, and feedback. **Promote Team Building Activities**: Organize team-building exercises or social events outside of work to strengthen relationships and build trust among team members. **Recognize and Appreciate**: Acknowledge individual and team achievements openly. A simple thank-you or shout-out can go a long way in boosting morale. **Set Clear Goals and Roles**: Ensure everyone understands their role in the team and how their work contributes to the overall goals of the organization. **Lead by Example**: Demonstrate cooperative behavior yourself. Show respect, listen actively, and be willing to collaborate with others. **Create a Supportive Environment**: Be approachable as a leader and encourage a culture where asking for help is seen as a sign of strength, not weakness. **Resolve Conflicts Constructively**: Address conflicts promptly and fairly, encouraging open dialogue and focusing on finding solutions rather than assigning blame. **Celebrate Diversity**: Embrace and celebrate the diversity of perspectives and backgrounds within your team. Different viewpoints can lead to more innovative solutions. **Provide Opportunities for Development**: Support professional growth by offering training opportunities or mentoring programs that help individuals enhance their skills and contribute more effectively to the team. **Regularly Solicit Feedback**: Continuously seek input from your team on how to improve collaboration and the work environment. Their insights are invaluable for making positive changes. By focusing on these tips, you'll create an environment where cooperation flourishes, leading to happier employees and more successful outcomes.

Discovering the right job candidates is an art. 🌟 As the CEO of two companies, here's my approach to discerning the best. 🚀

Great achievements are rarely a solo act... ( Here's why I'm excited about next week ) We're kicking off a national contract on Monday - lots of sites, and with a short lead time. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽: → Daily mobilisation meetings - the 'who, what, where, when' → Meeting regularly with client - the 'how' → Triple Check System - The details that we check, cross-check, and check again. This isn't just preparation; it's a masterclass in precision and attention to detail. I should 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 be feeling nervous about go-live day. I don't. Because this is what we do for every new job start.  It's just this time, we're doing it at scale. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁:  → Standardised our systems - we can scale up or down depending on the contract size. → Empowered our teams - their autonomy allows for agility and adaptability. → Leverage technology - so we can ensure scalable and effective operations I'm in the cleaning industry, but these concepts would work with any industry.  If you want to scale, this is how you do it. To my amazing Cleancorp team: I'm so incredibly proud of the work that you do every day - and your total mission for flawless execution for this new national contract.   Thank you for all the early morning, late nights and weekends, to get this done 💗 P.S.  Please share a word or two of encouragement for the team..👇
