So, a key leader in your organisation has just resigned... You offered them a pay rise, asked to extend their contract, and your preferred two candidates aren't available for another year (one is on a career break and the other has another year on their contract). The counter-offer didn't work, and it's now public. What do you do? The importance of having a robust succession planning framework cannot be overstated. Succession planning is a proactive strategy that ensures your organisation is never caught off guard by unexpected departures or leadership gaps. A well-thought-out succession plan allows you to identify and develop internal talent, grooming potential leaders well before a vacancy arises. In this scenario, the departure of a key leader could have been anticipated and prepared for if a solid succession plan was in place. Ideally, you would have already identified an aspiring manager within the organisation—someone who's been mentored and guided by the departing leader and has been on a similar career trajectory. This individual would have been gradually exposed to higher responsibilities, key decision-making processes, and strategic initiatives, allowing them to grow into the role over time. Reo Group Executive Search recognises the importance of good succession planning. That is why we specialise in C-Suite roles, as well as their direct reports, and can bolster your organisation from within.

At the beginning of August, Reo Group held an event with Chibs Okereke where we learned about 'flirting with burnout' - an affliction that many may find themselves in, where you burnout, recover, and start the process again with no long term solutions in mind. The key to overcoming this cycle is to manage your stress before you reach stage 4 burnout. We'd love to know - how do you manage your stress when work gets a little too much? Regular exercise can improve cardiovascular health and boost energy levels. It also stimulates the production of endorphins, often referred to as "feel-good" hormones, which can help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Meditation and mindfulness practices (including breathing exercises, and journalling) help calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and increase emotional resilience. These practices also enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation, making it easier to respond to stressors in a balanced way. Venting and talking to someone can help take the stresses and problems that live in your end and release them. Talking to an uninvolved third party can also help gain perspective and rationalise some of your anxieties. Regular breaks and vacations allow for physical and mental rest, helping to recharge and reduce burnout. Short breaks during work can enhance focus and productivity, while holidays provide a more extended opportunity to refresh and return to work with renewed energy. How do you manage your work stress? At Reo Group, we empower our team to make sure we don't hit stage 4 burnout. We give all our consultants 2 extra leave days per quarter that they can use to rest, recharge, and come back stronger, and offer regular opportunities to check in and be supported by your team and managers. If you're interested in working for a business that will work alongside you to manage stress and burnout, reach out to Clare Zizza for a confidential chat today.

That's a wrap on Village Con 2024! We have celebrated our annual national conference, Village Con, focusing on connectedness, togetherness, and personal development, bringing together our team from all across the country. We gave back to our villagers by investing in their learning development both as professionals, as leaders, and individuals. Our first session was from our visionary CEO, Stella Petrou Concha, who gave an incredible session and workshop on Cultivating Confidence Through the Lens of Self Mastery. We took the time to look inwards and focus on ourselves and how we can grow on our personal journeys of self mastery. Our second session came from our incredible Head of People & Culture, Chloe Norris, who took us through how to Speak Like a Leader. We learned about the 5 Chairs of Behaviour and about how leadership does not only mean having a direct report, but can be at any stage of your career. We then kicked back at night with a hoedown! The Reo Village transformed into our best cowboy-hat-wearing, line-dancing selves, and grapevine'd and dosey-doe'd the night away.

We asked our network - what trait is most important to you in a leader? Here's what they said. According to recent research from Seek, effective communication skills top the list when it comes to exceptional management. This is a clear indicator that being able to convey ideas clearly and listen actively is fundamental to leading a team successfully. At Reo Group, we firmly believe that outstanding leaders can emerge from any background or level of experience. That's why we are committed to nurturing and developing our team members, regardless of where they are in their career journey. We understand that leadership is a continuous process of growth and learning, and we support our team in their development every step of the way.

We have placed numerous leaders for Metro Trains Sydney, including Nigel Essex, General Manager – Finance & Business Services, who is pictured here on the first train out of Sydenham yesterday alongside NSW Transport Minister Jo Haylen and colleagues Jessica Said, GM People, and Nigel Warne, Project Manager Dynamic Testing.   We have also worked closely with many of the senior team at Norwest Rapid Transit, including CEO Steve Herman, and COO Phil Dark, who are also members of HiveQ, our sister organisation focused on Executive Development and Networking.   Our whole business extends their congratulations to all involved in this project, what a momentous moment seeing the Sydney Metro seamless city line in operation! We are proud to be connected to this incredible achievement, which has essentially transformed Sydney’s infrastructure.

The Recruiter Insider Service Excellence Award is measured by a combination of reviews and scores from our candidates in clients. It is not based on nominations - instead purely based on measurable stats that show our quality of service. Reo Group CEO Stella Petrou Concha answered some questions about how much the award means to us, and how Recruiter Insider is one of the best tools to prove our credibility in the market.
