Driscoll's Australia’s Post

This photo doesn’t do the last few days justice. Conferences(Assemble Holidays would be a more appropriate name) often seem to come at a time when you don’t want to be away from your desk etc. BUT wowee was it great to let the hair down over the last few days, get to know people from our sister businesses better and to get the “good oil” from some of the best in the business about what’s helped them be successful in business and to build successful businesses. The common denominators were the importance of hiring good people, with shared values, who will add to an already great culture, be kind and to provide opportunity. Look forward to the next one.

Love these posts from the Ginsberg's Foods team. Great job of establishing the brand of a company by featuring the people who make the company what it is. How is Ginsberg's, a regional food distributor, going to stand out when so many products are commoditized? They showcase their people. I want to open a restaurant just to buy from this guy, and from the team that he considers family. Branding isn't just marketing to potential customers. It is also attracting additional employees and making the enterprise/company/brand more attractive to other companies as partners. I'd suggest some design tweaks and mechanics within the edit, but full props to the messages. #branding #brandbuilding

Last week, I had opportunity to represent Fisher Phillips and the privilege to share my thoughts about changing a company culture to a packed house at the Wisconsin Marine Association conference in Wausau, WI. The framework I presented included three simple points: 1.) Be consistent with the message. 2.) Be focused on a desired behavior which aligns with that message. 3.) Ensure that behavior aligns with the desired outcome. I often use my wife as the example of how she manages me using this model. Take a simple thing like buying a gallon of milk. As I leave for work, if my wife asks me to stop and get a gallon of milk on my way home, I have likely forgotten that message before I leave the driveway. If she texts me at noon with a reminder, her odds of success increase. If she calls me at 4:30pm and says 'don't forget the gallon of milk', you better believe I am going home with the milk. She messaged consistently and created accountability along the way. The consistent message: Get the milk. The desired behavior: Stop at the store. The desired outcome: Get the milk. In simplest terms, this defines not only safety culture but the overall culture of an organization. The behavior piece goes both ways. We can't tell employees, 'we are family' if the company behavior doesn't align with that message. So when considering how to change culture, a company must look at the message as well as the behavior of employees as well as the company to ensure all is aligned with a desired outcome. #fisherphillips #workplacesafety #BCSP #safety #safetyprofessional #laborandemployment #oshacompliance #marinas #marineservices #boatyards

🕰 3 Days Until Applications Close for The Seat at the Table™ Programme! This is a friendly reminder to my hospitality community to share this post with your peers, teams, and networks. Let's ensure that as many eligible individuals come across this incredible opportunity to join a cohort of 16 hospitality professionals and secure a spot in this programme starting in 2024. This initiative is a collaboration between Be Inclusive Hospitality and Mars Food & Nutrition brand, Ben’s original, and is in its second year. Last year's cohort (some of which are pictured below) has fed back significant career acceleration since completing the programme. The programme is crafted to empower and support Black hospitality workers in the UK by providing access to skill-building and mentorship opportunities. As many of you know, we conduct annual research examining disparities within the industry. Our findings consistently reveal that Black hospitality workers encounter significant challenges in career progression and are among the least likely to access higher-paid roles. 16 fully funded positions are available for courses at Leiths School of Food & Wine, and successful applicants will receive 3 hours of mentorship. For full details and terms and conditions, please visit our website – the link is provided below in the comments. #SeatAtTheTable #SATT #DiversityInFoodIndustry #BeInclusiveHospitality 🍽️

How about that? Four years straight! Culture is king and consistency is paramount to the mission.

Grateful for the Best Places to Work recognition for the FOURTH year in a row! Highlighting two of our defined Core Behaviors I feel strongly lead to employees thriving day after day and year after year through the minutes to moments to milestones. 1- BUILD UP - We value leadership that equips others and want all employees to ask themselves daily how they can help increase the capacity of others. 2- UP A NOTCH- How am I setting the bar and improving personally and professionally? We desire to do excellent, bar-setting work because our colleagues, participants in the mission, corporate partners, volunteers, nonprofit and community partners, benefactors and the community are worth it! Do good work and do it with excellence!

Our President and Co-founder, Leland Macon, recently sat down for an in-depth Q+A about Buttoned Up Services’ recent growth and vision for the future. Key highlights: * Expanded reach across Missouri * New services: Full-time placement and brand ambassador offerings * Strategic partnerships with global food service providers In Leland’s own words: On our mission: “We’re not just trying to fill positions. We carefully vet people, understand each opportunity, and create mutually beneficial matches.” On leadership: “Coaching and leading a business are fundamentally similar. Both revolve around teaching, learning, and growing from failures.” On dedication: “The work day doesn’t end at 5 p.m. I stay engaged, even on vacation. I’m committed to being available whenever our team or clients need me.” On job satisfaction: “The most rewarding parts are the collaboration and doing great work for clients. It’s incredibly satisfying when we hit a home run for an event or provide the perfect support staff.” On our future: “What I’m most excited about is where we’re headed. I see us becoming a leader in the staffing space. I keep asking, ‘Why not us?’ We’re ready to go.” Read the full Q+A to learn how we’re tackling the hospitality industry’s labor challenges and redefining staffing success in Missouri and beyond! https://lnkd.in/g2ATWZqW #StaffingSolutions #Hospitality #MissouriBusiness #LeadershipInsights

Ok, my last post on the short survey we did for department leaders at the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center. I think these lessons learned translate to all workplaces. How can you enhance the work environment to have the vision, mission, values, and employees flourish?

Shhh 🤫… did you know that one of Puerto Rico’s best kept secrets as a top employer is Plaza Provision Company. We do not self promote. So, I want to let you into our secret. Our CEO is one of the humblest and well-intentioned leaders you’ll ever meet. Our employee tenure average is at 26 years of service with many surpassing that. Our turnover is less than 3%. And yes, we promote from within for vertical and horizontal mobility and development. So, why do our employees stick around so long. For one, balance and quality of work and life. As California proposes a new bill, giving “Workers the Right-to-Disconnect from Non-Emergency Business Calls and Texts After Hours”, Plaza Provision already respects its employees’s free time. We know there is much more to life than just work and we want our employees to enjoy it. Our company culture is respectful and relax. And it doesn’t hurt that you can snack on the products we distribute during the day like Snickers, Oreo cookies and for the healthier pallet, Kind Bars with some ☕️. If you’re interested in knowing more about our company or career opportunities as we continue growing, check out our web page: https://lnkd.in/eF3f9924 😉.
