Great to be a part of An Audience with Tom Aikens yesterday, talking about what’s in store for our industry in 2024. While our industry has worked hard to bounce back from the pandemic, staffing shortages remain a huge challenge. One of the best things about working in hospitality is that you can join at any stage of life - something which we have seen in evidence at The Wolseley Hospitality Group. As an industry we should be considering this when we are faced with staffing challenges - how can we encourage a broader demographic entering the hospitality industry? At TWHG 83% of employees are aged between 22-50 with over 50s making up 12% of employees. We are really proud to have such a broad age range working with us. Building this diverse talent pool is key is developing an inclusive and engaged workforce. #TWHG #Hospitality #Careers

A large national hardware retailer just posted that they are expanding. And that's great for them. But will they get their money's worth? I decided to ask them a simple question (one that every chain retailer should be asking themselves): *************************** I'm curious, what form of retail optimization or engineering roles do you have deployed within your network to ensure that all those new (and all your existing) stores are performing to their potential? If you already have those roles in your org., then great, not many retailers do, but if not, maybe you should look into it. I'm sure you already have lean and continuous improvement engineers within distribution and supply chain, so why not retail, where the time is spent and the money is made? I can build that muscle (and team) for you. If you're interested, please get in touch.

Employee Spotlight: Celebrating Sam Wilson’s Appointment as President, Commercial Strategy & Growth! 🎤 Blitz Interview with Sam: Insights into #LifeAtStoli What initially drew you to Stoli?   Having spent most of my career in beverage alcohol in Europe, Stoli gave an opportunity to contribute in a global role, learn more about the US spirits business. Ultimately though, people follow people – it was important to me to identify like-minded individuals. I quickly realised there is an enormous pool of industry experience at Stoli and an abundance of talented individuals to drive the business forward. How would you describe the culture & work environment at Stoli?   Huge freedom to contribute, collaborate and stretch capabilities, to take on personal challenges, to shape the future. With an ambitious growth agenda for the business, a renewed Vision and a focus on Values, there is a brilliant opportunity to build stronger teams, accelerate business momentum, whilst navigating uncertain, challenging & changing market conditions. There is a diverse mix of talent, from people who have thrived within the Stoli global business over many years to newer employees who are bringing fresh perspectives & new experiences. In what ways has Stoli supported your professional development & growth?   After a year in the business, I have been given the opportunity to shape a new leadership role and I would highlight trust, empowerment and supportive colleagues. In an environment where everyone is encouraged to contribute & shape the future of the business, knowing that you operate in a team with a high level of trust is empowering and energising.    How does Stoli foster a sense of community? Our employees foster the sense of community and I really enjoy working with a diverse group of people, making time for a personal connection and a bit of fun is as important to me as getting the job done! The recent work on refreshing the Stoli values, which was driven wholly by a passionate set of individuals across the business, demonstrates a desire to strengthen the sense of community.     What advice would you give to someone considering a career at Stoli?   Bring your whole self to work - experience, ideas, confidence, positivity, personality, diverse talents.  Commercial curiosity, resilience and the ability to adapt quickly to change will be key success factors. What do you find most exciting about your role at Stoli?   There is a broad and fast-paced transformation agenda where I see plenty of upside. My focus is on how we simplify and empower the organisation’s resources to focus on customers & consumers. What are your aspirations or goals for the future at Stoli?   Great talent underpins every business growth opportunity – we need to continue to foster, retain and grow an inclusive, diverse, energised and courageous team environment that can release the potential of brands, celebrating brand success along the way! #LifeAtStoli#CongratulationsSam

In today's future-centric work landscape, the 9 Box Talent grid feels outdated, confining individuals to labels and limiting their potential. Talent calibration committees often lack insight into individuals, relying on flawed assessments and biases. Recognizing talent requires looking beyond rigid structures like levels and grades, embracing the unique strengths and potential in every individual. True leadership lies in nurturing these strengths and fostering growth, leading to transformative shifts and advancements.

"We worked with Sarah and the [Gallagher] team on doing the job levelling exercise. That actually was sneaky important. The value that's delivered was kind of quite sneakily under the radar in terms of actually it's really transformed our business. It hasn't just allocated 1,600 colleagues to one of seven job levels. It's actually provided a structure for everything.”   In the video below, we have the opportunity to listen to John Hamilton, Chief People Officer at Bellrock, as he discusses the significance of job levelling in ensuring fair pay structures within their organisation.   Want to learn more?
