Today is National Carrot Cake Day, a day to celebrate this classic and delicious dessert. 🥕🍰 Carrot cake has been a beloved treat for many years, and it's no surprise why - the sweet and moist cake, paired with creamy and tangy cream cheese frosting, is a perfect combination of flavors. As we enjoy this day, let's also take a moment to appreciate the teamwork and skill that goes into creating a perfect carrot cake - just like in a well-functioning team in the workplace. In the world of recruiting, finding the perfect candidate for a role can be just as satisfying as enjoying a slice of carrot cake. It's all about finding the right mix of skills, experiences, and personality that will fit seamlessly into a team and contribute to its success. Like a good carrot cake, a strong team is made up of different elements that come together to create something truly special. Let's celebrate the work of recruiters and the successful teams they help build. 🥕🍰 Whats your cake of choice? 🥕🍰 #NationalCarrotCakeDay #Recruiting #Teamwork #WarnerRecruitment #LoveYourJob

Creativity! One of the things that we #leaders and professionals have the opportunity to do is to tap into our ability to innovate. In fact, I believe that #innovation is one of the key components of an EPIC culture that is Empowering, Purpose-Driven, Innovative and Collaborative. Yesterday, as I dashed around prepping for a quick “staycation” with the man I love, I was transported into a #mindset of whimsy and fun…. Yes, thanks to a grocery store! (The Publix in Riverview on 301 by Belmont) #publix . If creating an emotional state of possibility is a winning sales strategy, this Publix gets an A+++. The store looked more like a high end sweet 16 party than a place to pick up a box of Fruit Loops. Not only was the floral department brimming with balloons and flowers (even an entire section of balloons in Spanish), but every single aisle throughout the store cried out with Valentine’s Day playful whimsy. I can only imagine how much labor and inventory went into creating this Valentine’s Day experience and I would guess that some might have had reservations about committing to this expense. However, what I witnessed was a breath of surprise and awe from every single person who stepped through their front door. Virtually every single shopper stopped and picked up the bigger bouquet of flowers, the fancier balloon, the curated presentation of chocolates and a stuffed animal. It was so #easy and inviting. By buying into these products, it felt as if you were buying into the perfect magical Valentine’s Day experience. So as I sit here on this glorious day representing love and human kindness (including kindness to Self), I am reminded of the wonder that we each have the capacity to ignite when we step boldly into the realm of #creativity and innovation. Creating unexpected experiences is something that we as individuals can initiate or be part of in the context of our organizations and businesses. I would guess that some team members of that Publix may have felt that their role in inflating all of those balloons was insignificant, if not mundane. To me, those balloons serve as a reminder that the “mundane” tasks that we perform in the context of our companies might turn out to be that remarkable, “brighten your day” moment for one of our clients. So no matter how “small” your role, don’t underestimate your value. Even James Bond needed his Q. So on this lovely Valentine’s Day, what remarkably creative experience will you choose to create? And can you amplify your innovation by collaborating with someone else?

Meet Caleb! One of our dedicated Baristas in our Pyrmont Support Centre ☕ We sat down with Caleb to talk about his career journey and why he loves working at Hanes: Q: How did you get your job at Hanes?  A: AimBig Employment helped me on my job search. I've had two other barista roles previously before getting my current role at Hanes. Q: How did you find the recruitment and onboarding process? A: Everyone was really helpful, I transitioned into the role very easily and felt very welcome.

Q: What's your favourite part about your role and working at Hanes? A: Getting to meet and talk to lots of new people all the time.

Q: Do you have any advice for anyone with a disability who's starting a new job?

🤔Did you give up #chocolate in January and have you noticed the #easter Eggs in the supermarkets available now? Did you know that yesterday was known as Quitters Day as the most likely day you give up on resolutions? If yours was chocolate- are you still hanging on in there ? 🤔 Are you like me flummoxed on why to buy Easter eggs in January given Easter is March 31st? 🤔 Could you not eat them if you bought them now? The market is not small so you can understand it from the retailer perspective Total Easter sales including boxed confectionery reached an impressive £640 million CSV[Nielsen ] in 2023, which not only underscores the economic significance of Easter but also highlights the consumer enthusiasm for Easter. ✅ 80 million Easter eggs are given every year My cousin used to have a challenge to see how many Cadbury eggs he could eat - not at one go ( although I suspect that’s a lot) Data shows January is not too early . In 2023, 42% of Easter sales took place in January and February, driven primarily by unplanned impulse purchases. (Nielsen) 🤔 So my question is do they eat them and then re- buy? or show solid willpower ? 🤔 Do you have favourite Easter eggs to buy? I look for Rolo ones for my husband and toffee eggs for my Mum. 🤔 What do you buy? 🤔 Do you buy Easter Eggs now? #foodanddrink #marketingandadvertising #marketingresearch #retailers 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣 Liked this post?
