The real challenge lies in finding and securing certified, regulation-compliant professionals who can operate in high-stakes environments, within the increasingly tight timelines the sector is seeing to avoid downtime.&nbsp;</p>\\n<div>\\n<p><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">Aircraft&nbsp;downtime is extremely&nbsp;expensive,&nbsp;and operators are under constant pressure to&nbsp;maintain&nbsp;schedules in the face of rising demand&nbsp;as&nbsp;</span><a href=\\"https://www.caa.co.uk/newsroom/news/uk-aviation-growth-continues-with-record-passenger-numbers/\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noreferrer noopener\\"><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"none\\"><span data-ccp-charstyle=\\"Hyperlink\\">air travel reaches pre-pandemic levels for the first time</span></span></a><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">,&nbsp;with&nbsp;</span><a href=\\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/02/flights-cancelled-middle-east-travel-chaos-us-israeli-iran-conflictflights-cancelled-middle-east-travel-chaos-us-israeli-iran-conflict\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noreferrer noopener\\"><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"none\\"><span data-ccp-charstyle=\\"Hyperlink\\">ongoing disruption</span><span data-ccp-charstyle=\\"Hyperlink\\">&nbsp;caused by global events</span></span></a><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">&nbsp;further complicating matters.</span><span data-ccp-props=\\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n</div>\\n<div>\\n<p><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">In this blog, we explore five critical hiring challenges in aviation, the underlying causes behind them, and how specialist recruiters solve them through a more strategic, compliance-first approach.</span></p>\\n<h2>5 hiring challenges in aviation&nbsp;</h2>\\n<p>In aviation, hiring challenges are not standalone problems; they are operational risks. Each issue, whether related to talent shortages or regulatory complexity, has a direct impact on safety, compliance, and uptime.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>We are seeing these challenges consistently across the industry. Understanding them is the first step towards solving them effectively.</p>\\n<h3>1. Shortage of certified and safety-critical talent:&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>The aviation sector continues to experience a shortage of certified professionals, particularly in safety-critical roles such as licensed engineers, type-rated pilots, and maintenance specialists. Demand continues to outpace supply across both mature and emerging markets.</p>\\n<div>\\n<p><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">This is not a temporary imbalance. In our experience, it is driven by long certification cycles, limited training capacity, and a reduced talent pipeline following industry disruptions in recent years.&nbsp;This is set to get&nbsp;</span><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">significantly&nbsp;</span><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">worse without action&nbsp;now -&nbsp;over&nbsp;</span><a href=\\"https://www.aia-aerospace.org/wp-content/uploads/PwC-_-AIA_-Workforce-Study_051223.pdf\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noreferrer noopener\\"><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"none\\"><span data-ccp-charstyle=\\"Hyperlink\\">29% of the industry&rsquo;s workforce is over the age of 55</span></span></a><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">&nbsp;and a&nbsp;wave of mass retirement looms on the horizon.</span><span data-ccp-props=\\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n</div>\\n<div>\\n<p><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">This&nbsp;is where long-term investment in&nbsp;</span><a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/the-importance-of-workforce-development-nurturing-skilled-technicians-in-aviation\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noreferrer noopener\\"><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"none\\"><span data-ccp-charstyle=\\"Hyperlink\\">aviation workforce development</span></span></a><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">&nbsp;becomes&nbsp;essential&nbsp;to rebuilding sustainable talent pipelines.</span><span data-ccp-props=\\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n</div>\\n<div>\\n<p><strong><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">What this means for operations:</span><span data-ccp-props=\\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\\">&nbsp;</span></strong></p>\\n</div>\\n<div>\\n<p><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">Without certified personnel,&nbsp;aircraft&nbsp;cannot&nbsp;operate. Maintenance schedules are delayed, fleet availability declines, and revenue opportunities are lost. The absence of even one qualified professional can disrupt an entire operational cycle.</span></p>\\n<h3>2. Complex regulatory and compliance requirements:&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>Aviation hiring is governed by strict and often varying regulatory frameworks. Each candidate must meet specific licensing, documentation, and compliance standards, which differ across regions and authorities.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>We are seeing organisations face delays not because they cannot find candidates, but because verifying compliance is complex and time-consuming.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong>What this means for operations:&nbsp;</strong></p>\\n<p>Any lapse in compliance introduces significant risk. This can lead to audit failures, financial penalties, or operational shutdowns. More importantly, it can compromise safety, something the aviation industry would want to avoid at all costs.</p>\\n<h3>3. Prolonged time-to-hire in a time-sensitive industry:&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>Time is a critical factor in aviation, yet hiring processes often fail to match the urgency of operational demand. Skilled professionals are typically available for a limited window, while hiring cycles often extend far beyond that.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>This gap is commonly caused by reactive hiring strategies, lengthy approval processes, and limited access to pre-qualified talent.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong>What this means for operations:&nbsp;</strong></p>\\n<p>Delays in hiring lead to project slowdowns, missed maintenance schedules, and reduced fleet utilisation. Over time, this negatively impacts service reliability, customer experience, and overall profitability.</p>\\n<h3>4. Global competition for aviation talent:&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>Aviation talent operates in a global market. Skilled professionals are highly mobile, and demand is increasing across regions due to expanding fleets, new airline entrants, and infrastru

1cture investments.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>We are seeing organisations having to compete not only locally but internationally, often against employers offering more attractive compensation packages or relocation benefits.</p>\\n<p>This shift is shaping the future of the aviation workforce, where mobility and global demand are redefining how organisations attract and retain talent.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong>What this means for operations:&nbsp;</strong></p>\\n<p>This intensifies hiring pressure, increases costs, and extends vacancy periods. Vital roles remain unfilled for longer, placing strain on existing teams and affecting operational stability.</p>\\n<h3>5. Lack of workforce flexibility in a volatile industry:&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>Aviation demand rises and falls depending on seasonality, economic shifts, and external disruptions. Despite this, many organisations continue to rely on rigid, permanent workforce models that assume a steady state which rarely exists in reality. When demand shifts rapidly, these models struggle to flex accordingly. This creates a disconnect between workforce capacity and operational demand.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong>What this means for operations:&nbsp;</strong></p>\\n<p>Overstaffing during slower periods increases costs, while understaffing during peak demand leads to operational strain. Both scenarios reduce efficiency, impact employee morale, and limit an organisation&rsquo;s ability to respond to changing market conditions.</p>\\n<h2>The cost of aviation recruitment mistakes&nbsp;</h2>\\n<p>Hiring mistakes in aviation carry far greater consequences than in most other industries.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>A delay in hiring is not just a scheduling issue; it can ground aircraft. A compliance oversight is not just an administrative error; it can trigger regulatory action. A mis-hire is not just a performance concern; it can introduce safety risks.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong>We are seeing these impacts play out in tangible ways:&nbsp;</strong></p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Aircraft grounded due to a lack of certified personnel &nbsp;</li>\\n<li>Maintenance delays leading to operational backlogs &nbsp;</li>\\n<li>Increased regulatory scrutiny due to compliance gaps &nbsp;</li>\\n<li>Escalating costs driven by prolonged vacancies and recruitment process inefficiencies &nbsp;</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>In aviation, the cost of a vacant or incorrectly filled role compounds quickly across operations, revenue, and customer experience. What may appear as a hiring delay often becomes a broader operational disruption.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">This is why&nbsp;organisations&nbsp;are increasingly turning to&nbsp;</span><a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/sectors/aviation-mro-workforce-solutions\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noreferrer noopener\\"><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"none\\"><span data-ccp-charstyle=\\"Hyperlink\\">aviation MRO workforce solutions</span></span></a><span lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">&nbsp;that&nbsp;prioritise&nbsp;compliance, speed, and operational continuity, while also rethinking how hiring is approached more strategically.</span><span data-ccp-props=\\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<p>As these challenges continue to impact operations, the focus naturally shifts towards how they can be solved in a more structured and reliable way.</p>\\n<h2>How specialist recruiters solve these challenges &nbsp;</h2>\\n<p>Specialist aviation recruiters operate with a fundamentally different mindset - one that aligns hiring directly with operational continuity, compliance, and workforce strategy.</p>\\n<h3>Access to pre-vetted, certified talent:&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>Rather than sourcing candidates reactively, specialist recruiters maintain active talent pools of qualified professionals who are already assessed and credentialed. This enables faster deployment and reduces time-to-hire significantly.</p>\\n<h3>Compliance-first hiring approach:&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>Every candidate is vetted against regulatory standards before being presented. Certification validation, documentation checks, and compliance alignment are built into the process, reducing risk at the point of hire.</p>\\n<h3>Proactive workforce planning:&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>Specialist recruiters anticipate hiring needs by aligning talent pipelines with operational forecasts. This ensures organisations are prepared for demand rather than reacting to it.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3>Global talent access with market insight:&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>With access to international talent networks, specialist partners help organisations reach beyond local markets while providing insight into candidate expectations and mobility trends.</p>\\n<h3>Flexible workforce solutions:&nbsp;</h3>\\n<div class=\\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW132354698 BCX0\\">\\n<p class=\\"Paragraph SCXW132354698 BCX0\\"><span class=\\"TextRun SCXW132354698 BCX0\\" lang=\\"EN-US\\" xml:lang=\\"EN-US\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">

1As outlined by the experts behind National Apprenticeship Week, a celebration of apprenticeships, apprentices and the impact they have on all industries, apprenticeships will last for a minimum of 12 months.</p>\\n<p>However, the length of a specific apprenticeship will depend on the type of apprenticeship, the depth and detail of its programme and the level of education, certification or qualification that an apprenticeship is working toward.</p>\\n<h2>Who are Apprenticeships open to?</h2>\\n<p>In short, anyone! If you&rsquo;ve always thought that apprenticeships were only available to young people such as school, college or university leavers, you&rsquo;re not alone. Thankfully, however, this isn&rsquo;t the case.</p>\\n<p>Of course, apprenticeships are a fantastic option for students looking to breakthrough into employment. But even if you&rsquo;ve been employed before and are looking for a career change, an apprenticeship could provide you with the skills and opportunities you need.</p>\\n<p>At Carbon60, we&rsquo;ve even utilised the power of apprenticeships to help veterans and ex-forces personnel navigate the often-difficult transition from military service back into civilian life.</p>\\n<h2>The Benefits of Apprenticeships</h2>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;re not already sold on what apprenticeships can do for people, and the roles and industries that they are passionate about, here are just a few of the many benefits of them and the experiences they provide:</p>\\n<h3>Hands-On Experience</h3>\\n<p>One of the most significant advantages of apprenticeships is the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a real-world setting. Apprentices work alongside experienced professionals, learning the practical aspects of their chosen field. This experience is invaluable and often gives apprentices a competitive edge in the job market.</p>\\n<h3>Earn While You Learn</h3>\\n<p>Unlike traditional education routes, apprenticeships allow individuals to earn a wage while they learn. This financial support can make it easier for apprentices to focus on their training without the burden of student debt.</p>\\n<h3>Industry-Recognised Qualifications</h3>\\n<p>Upon completion of an apprenticeship, individuals receive industry-recognized qualifications that demonstrate their skills and knowledge. These qualifications are highly regarded by employers and can open doors to various career opportunities.</p>\\n<h3>Career Progression</h3>\\n<p>Apprenticeships often lead to long-term employment with the training provider or other employers in the industry. Many apprentices are offered permanent positions upon completing their training, providing a clear pathway for career progression.</p>\\n<h3>Personal and Professional Development</h3>\\n<p>Apprenticeships not only develop technical skills but also enhance personal and professional attributes such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These skills are essential for success in any career.</p>\\n<h3>Networking Opportunities</h3>\\n<p>During an apprenticeship, individuals have the chance to build a network of professional contacts. These connections can be valuable for future job opportunities and career advancement.</p>\\n<h2>Apprenticeships with Carbon60</h2>\\n<p>Carbon60 are honoured to partner with some global, industry-leading organisations to help create, support and recruit for apprenticeship programmes that not only help provide training and employment opportunities to the next generation of engineering and technical talent, but also shape the workforces that&rsquo;ll drive forward industries into an exciting and prosperous future.</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/job-seekers/training-and-apprenticeships\\">Click here to view our latest Training and Apprenticeship opportunities.</a></p>"},"cta_link":{"en":""},"featured":{"en":""},"cta_title":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"external_campaign":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Apprenticeships provide people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds an opportunity to discover and develop skills and knowledge, and benefit from real life, hands-on experiences, that\u2019ll help them on their journey to an exciting new career.

And whilst the technology isn&rsquo;t quite the all-encompassing, world-dominating force that many thought it may become, there can be no denying that AI is already influencing the way

1we live.</p>\\n<p>Since AI&rsquo;s watershed moment in 2022, its evolution has disrupted ways of working across industries, prompting organisations to rethink how they operate and how their employees carry out their day-to-day roles.</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.aiprm.com/ai-in-workplace-statistics/\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener\\">By the end of 2024, a remarkable 75% of workplaces had incorporated AI tools</a> into their operations, with nearly half adopting these technologies within just six months. This signals a rapid transformation in work processes, productivity, and business strategy.</p>\\n<p>As AI evolves and its impact deepens, the challenge for organisations is not if they&rsquo;ll adopt AI, but when they do, and how they&rsquo;ll develop the internal capabilities needed to leverage it. This is where initiatives such as AI skills growth and training programmes have incredible potential, helping to equip both current teams and future talent with the know-how to thrive in a technology-driven era.</p>\\n<h2>How AI is unlocking new potential in the workplace</h2>\\n<p>Based on insights gathered from organisations already utilising the tech, AI&rsquo;s integration is already delivering dramatic results. For example, according to <a href=\\"https://www.aiprm.com/ai-in-workplace-statistics/\\">research from 2024, 90% of employees regularly use AI to save time on routine tasks</a>. Meanwhile, programmers adopting AI tools are managing to complete 126% more projects each week than their non-AI-using peers. This evidence underscores AI&rsquo;s ability to boost efficiency, streamline complex workflows, and elevate organisational performance.</p>\\n<p>Yet, these advancements are also raising new concerns. While 65% of staff have employed AI tools such as ChatGPT on the job, 45% fear the very tools that are currently driving increased productivity could in fact eventually render their roles obsolete. This blend of empowerment and apprehension signals the necessity for businesses to prioritise transparency, support, and thorough training, enabling their teams to confidently navigate the AI-powered future.</p>\\n<h2>Addressing perceptions of the AI capability gap</h2>\\n<p>Despite widespread adoption of AI, research suggests that many business leaders feel unprepared to manage its integrations. Meanwhile, some companies are reporting difficulties in sourcing AI-literate talent.</p>\\n<p>In 2024, <a href=\\"https://www.aiprm.com/ai-in-workplace-statistics/\\">68% of leaders cited challenges in attracting individuals skilled in AI</a>. However, McKinsey research suggests this perceived shortage might be overstated. <a href=\\"https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/superagency-in-the-workplace-empowering-people-to-unlock-ais-full-potential-at-work\\">They found that, while nearly all C-suite executives (99%) and employees (94%) are aware of generative AI solutions, leaders are significantly underestimating day-to-day usage of AI tools.</a></p>\\n<p>The leaders asked estimated just 4% of their workforce uses AI for at least 30% of their work, when employees report that figure is actually three times higher. Moreover, 47% of employees believe AI will soon play a major part in their tasks, compared to just 20% of leaders sharing this outlook.</p>\\n<p>This gap reveals an urgent need for better insight into workforce capabilities and proactive skills development.</p>\\n<h2>The imperative need for AI education and training</h2>\\n<p>AI&rsquo;s expanding presence in workplaces and workforce processes highlights a need to develop and provide comprehensive training that&rsquo;ll enable organisations and their people to get the absolute most from the technology</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/superagency-in-the-workplace-empowering-people-to-unlock-ais-full-potential-at-work\\">Nearly half of employees, according to McKinsey, express a desire to receive formal AI education, as well as access to new tools and pilot initiatives to deepen their expertise.</a> However, over 20% indicate they receive little or no support in building their Artificial Intelligence competencies, leaving them and the organisations they work for at risk of stagnation as technology advances.</p>\\n<p>Without substantial investment in workforce training and future-proofing skills, businesses may miss out on both innovation and untapped talent. Robust, accessible, and adaptable training programmes are essential to close this widening gap.</p>\\n<h2>AI Upskilling and Development: Driving Strategic Workforce Evolution</h2>\\n<p>AI skills growth programmes are more than training. Providing structured pathways to hands-on experience with AI tech, whilst contributing to the businesses who provide such opportunities, they are catalysts for organisational and personal transformation.</p>\\n<p>By offering a structured framework for acquiring AI experience, Artificial Intelligence apprenticeships can:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Identify and nurture individuals with enthusiasm and foundational knowledge in AI</li>\\n<li>Provide ongoing, relevant training that adapts as technology progresses</li>\\n<li>Translate theoretical learning into hands-on, real-world application</li>\\n<li>Empower companies to foster in-house AI expertise while supporting employee growth</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>Investing in AI upskilling and development strengthens the pipeline of skilled professionals who are aligned with organisational vision and equipped to adapt as AI reshapes the business landscape.</p>\\n<h2>Recruit, Train, Deploy: Bringing our AI Skills Growth Programme to life</h2>\\n<p>Recognising the growing need and urgency for building AI capabilities across industries and the organisations within them, we have &ndash; leveraging our expertise and extensive experience of nurturing and developing talent &ndash; devised a comprehensive AI upskilling solution delivered via our

This, alarmingly, appears to be driven not by a lack of potential, but rather a reluctance or inability to follow conventional career paths.</p>\\n<p>Research has found that nearly a million young individuals in the UK are currently detached from both employment and education. Many are instead drawn to the allure of careers being presented to them through social media by influencers and celebrities, which for most, are statistically out of reach.

On top of that, 923,000 young people were classed as NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training), representing 12.5% of the UK&rsquo;s 16-24-year-old population.</p>\\n<p>What&rsquo;s more, these challenges are not recent anomalies. Prolonged youth unemployment has lasting repercussions, lowering earning potential, impacting well-being, and increasing dependence on public resources.</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/the-state-of-global-teenage-career-preparation_d5f8e3f2-en/full-report/component-4.html#introduction-d5e105\\">Having conducted their own recent research into the State of Global Teenage Career Preparation</a>, the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development cautions that such periods of joblessness can leave young people &ldquo;permanently scarred&rdquo;, ultimately hindering both individuals and overall economic progress.</p>\\n<h2>The aspiration v reality gap</h2>\\n<p>At the heart of this potential talent crisis is an every-growing disconnect between what young people&rsquo;s career hopes are and the realities of the actual job market. Social media and celebrity success stories have fuelled unrealistic expectations, fostering the belief that such lifestyles are easily attainable. The OECD reports that almost 46.4% of UK teenagers are now uncertain about their future jobs &ndash; a dramatic rise compared to 24.6% in 2018. Many of them still focus on sectors like entertainment and sports, where opportunities are limited.</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14736107/Britain-facing-skills-shortage-crisis-nearly-1-MILLION-young-people-work-aspire-unrealistic-jobs-TikTokkers-sports-stars-shun-traditional-trades.html\\">News outlets have recently reported that while 35% of children express ambitions in media and culture, these industries comprise just 1% of forecasted job openings</a>. This disconnect not only leaves many young people unable to fulfil their goals but also exacerbates talent shortages in vital fields such as STEM and engineering.</p>\\n<h2>Career guidance and the importance of unlocking potential</h2>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/the-state-of-global-teenage-career-preparation_d5f8e3f2-en/full-report/component-4.html#introduction-d5e105\\">The OECD emphasises that early and sustained career guidance can be transformative</a>. Young people who engage in career-focused experiences, be it mentorship, workplace visits, or job shadowing, are more likely to secure employment and achieve higher wages. Yet, access to these valuable experiences is not distributed equally, leaving those from disadvantaged backgrounds at a disadvantage.</p>\\n<p>For such guidance and learning opportunities to be truly effective, it must be integrated throughout a student&rsquo;s entire educational journey. But schools can&rsquo;t bear the responsibility alone; employers must also take a proactive role, connecting with students early to provide insights and tangible career pathways.</p>\\n<p>The impact of employer involvement is significant, <a href=\\"https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/the-state-of-global-teenage-career-preparation_d5f8e3f2-en/full-report/component-4.html#introduction-d5e105\\">with research suggesting that even four career-related talks during schooling can reduce the likelihood of a young person becoming NEET by 86%.</a> This is not only beneficial for individuals but also ensures a steady pipeline of prepared talent for organisations.</p>\\n<h2>Apprenticeships are a proven, practical solution</h2>\\n<p>Offering direct, hands-on opportunities such as apprenticeships is one of the most effective ways to support early career development. Apprenticeships combine practical work experience with ongoing skills development, benefiting both individuals and employers by building a workforce tailored to industry needs.</p>\\n<p>But, despite their multitude of advantages, participation in apprenticeships shows room for growth. <a href=\\"https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14736107/Britain-facing-skills-shortage-crisis-nearly-1-MILLION-young-people-work-aspire-unreal

From pioneers such as inventor Emma Lilian Todd, who opened America&rsquo;s first female-focused aviation training club in 1908, and legendary adventurer Amelia Earhart, to the many women who build, repair, service and fly aircraft around the world every day, some of the biggest influences in the industry have been female.</p>\\n<p>However, the number of women in aviation is still considerably lower than that of men. Thankfully though, as the industry &ndash; along with the wider world &ndash; realises the importance and benefits of diversity, inclusion and providing equal opportunities for all, women are starting to find their wings in aviation.</p>\\n<p>Read on to learn more about the difference-making people, organisations and policies which are driving a better future for women in aviation, as well as the sort of opportunities that are available to talented females in the industry today.</p>\\n<h2>Women in Aviation: The Challenges</h2>\\n<p>In the UK, the number of women in aviation continues to be a challenge. For example, even as recently as late 2023, it was found that of the almost 30,000 pilots in the UK only 5% were female. &nbsp;Meanwhile, the <a href=\\"https://www.wiaacharter.com/about/\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener\\">Women in Aviation and Aerospace Charter</a> (WIAAC) highlights a well-recognised shortage of women studying STEM subjects and subsequently moving on to careers in engineering &ndash; including vital roles within the aviation industry.</p>\\n<p>But of course, the problems extend way beyond British borders. <a href=\\"https://www.wai.org/\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener\\">Women in Aviation International (WAI)</a> &ndash; the world&rsquo;s largest organisation dedicated to increasing the number of women in aviation and aerospace &ndash; report that women make up less than 20% of the global aviation workforce, across all the industry&rsquo;s roles, pointing to dormant levels of female introduction to aviation caused by lack of education and opportunities.</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.wiaacharter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Propelling-a-Gender-Balanced-Industry.pdf\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener\\">Research carried out by WIAAC</a><a href=\\"https://www.wiaacharter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Propelling-a-Gender-Balanced-Industry.pdf\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener\\"> </a>suggest the problems extend further than a shortage of education and opportunities however, with perceptions and expectations of careers in aviation &ndash;

1 and the experiences of those already within the industry &ndash; impacting female participation too.</p>\\n<p>For example, 84% of females asked by WIAAC perceived that pay may not be equitable between men and women working in aviation &ndash; a potential inhibitor to the progression of women in the industry; whilst one-third of female respondents already working in aviation and aerospace believed they would potentially need to leave the industry to progress their career, with many citing negative experiences endured only by them and other females.</p>\\n<h2>Women in Aviation: The Actions</h2>\\n<p>Faced by challenges such as those outlined above, there is a global drive to ensure aviation becomes more inclusive and diverse, not only to ensure greater, fairer, and more diverse opportunities for all, but also to build a better, more sustainable future for the industry by attracting, retaining, and advancing the talents of women and minority groups around the world.</p>\\n<p>Driven by organisations such as the Women in Aviation and Aerospace Charter and Women in Aviation international, as well as key figures and companies including some of the biggest in the world, not just aviation, key objectives and goals have been set such as:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Investing in current and future workforces across aviation.</li>\\n<li>Building a diverse, inclusive, and sustainable industry.</li>\\n<li>Inspiring women and girls to pursue aviation careers, through education and employment opportunities.</li>\\n<li>Providing support at every step of the aviation career journey.&nbsp;</li>\\n<li>Promoting progression and gender balance for all.&nbsp;</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>And, whilst there is still plenty of work to be done, thanks to the dedication and commitment of everyone involved, we are already seeing results from the efforts already made.

1 global integrated legal and business service providers &ndash; to discuss these new reforms, outlines the potential implications of Labour&rsquo;s approach to Employment Law.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Key Reforms and Their Implications</h2>\\n<p>Vertage&rsquo;s report outlines 13 key reforms, changes and plans that were discussed with DWF&rsquo;s Employment Law Partner Jon Keeble and Employment Law Director Nigel Crebbin.</p>\\n<p>According to Keeble and Crebbin, given that many of the proposed changes are anticipated to be implemented between 2025 and 2027, it is vital to prepare at pace &ndash; taking stock, assessing risks and seeking assistance wherever required &ndash; whilst remaining calm, making informed decisions and adapting appropriately.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Ahead of their implementations, we have summarised the reforms, what to expect from them, and how employers can react below, based on the expert insights from Vertage and DWF.</p>\\n<h3>Unfair Dismissal</h3>\\n<p>This is one of the cornerstone reforms of Labour&rsquo;s new approach to Employment Law. They have proposed:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Removal of the Two-Year Qualifying Period</strong> - This will mean that employees will be protected from unfair dismissal from day one of their employment.</li>\\n<li><strong>Consultation on Statutory Probation Periods</strong> - A nine-month probation period has been proposed to balance the assessment of new hires while providing immediate rights. During this period, the steps required for fair dismissal will be lighter than after probation.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>In response to these proposals, employers need to consider whether their recruitment and onboarding processes are robust enough to minimise risk of unfair dismissal claims and review their progress reporting and improvement plans to make use of the &lsquo;lighter touch&rsquo; obligations.</p>\\n<h3>Zero-Hour Contracts</h3>\\n<p>The use of zero-hour contracts has soared in recent years, to the extent that many have considered their use as &lsquo;potentially exploitive&rsquo;. Labour says their proposals have been designed to reduce such exploitation:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Right to Guaranteed Hours</strong> - The reform will enable workers to convert zero-hour contracts to ones with guaranteed hours based on their average hours over a reference period. This seeks to provide more job security, whilst still allowing for working flexibility.</li>\\n<li><strong>Reasonable Notice for Shift Changes</strong> - Employers will be required to provide reasonable notice for shift changes, however the definition of &ldquo;reasonable&rdquo; is still under consultation due to debate over what it means for individuals in different circumstances. This may also extend to agency workers.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>Key considerations for employers include reviewing their current use of zero-hour contracts and how it may impact their employment model, and implementing robust procedures to ensure reasonable notice can be provided to shift workers.</p>\\n<h3>Fire and Rehire Practices</h3>\\n<p>Currently, there are few limitations on employers firing employees and then rehiring them under new conditions &ndash; and not rehiring those who refuse to agree to the new terms proposed. There simply needs to be sound reasons for dismissal, and fair reasonable procedures followed for terminating employment.</p>\\n<p>The new legislation will significantly restrict existing &lsquo;fire and rehire&rsquo; practices:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Statutory Code of Practice for Dismissal and Re-Engagement</strong> - A new statutory Code of Practice on Dismissal and Re-engagement came into force in July 2024. Employers must demonstrate that firing and rehiring was unavoidable, otherwise they could be liable for unfair dismissal. Forced contract changes will become rarer as a result, and employees will be engaged in negotiation to reach agreements on flexibility.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>Employers will find that changing terms and conditions will become harder, and there will be increased risk when doing so. It is vital that they consider amending template contracts and clauses and leaning on employee engagement to get this right.</p>\\n<h3>

1Collective Redundancy Consultation</h3>\\n<p>Labour&rsquo;s new Employment Law Bill removes the current threshold that requires collective consultation with trade unions or employee representatives to take place only when 20 or more redundancies are proposed to take place over 90 days in a &lsquo;single establishment&rsquo;.</p>\\n<p>The reference to &lsquo;single establishment&rsquo; is to be removed, which will have a significant impact on large employers with multiple working premises in particular:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Removal of the Single Establishment Requirement</strong> - Collective consultation will apply across an entire organisation, not just single establishments, increasing the number of situations requiring consultation. The government is considering increasing the compensation cap for companies that fail to comply with collective redundancy consultation obligations from 90 to 180 days or removing it entirely.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>This is one of the most important legislation updates for employers to be aware of, as it signals a major change to collective consultation law. Therefore, it is vital to take this into account when potentially restructuring.</p>\\n<h3>Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)</h3>\\n<p>The reforms have considered ways to make Statutory Sick Pay fairer, and more readily available, to all workers, regardless of employment status, contracts and terms which may have previously altered an employer&rsquo;s SSP entitlement.</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Removal of Lower Earnings Limi</strong>t - Under the new, more straightforward sick pay regulations and guidance, SSP will be available to all employees regardless of weekly earnings.</li>\\n<li><strong>Immediate SSP Entitlement</strong> - Employees will be entitled to SSP from the first day of sickness absence, rather than from their fourth day of confirmed sickness.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>In response, employers will need to review and update their policies and budget for potential increases in SSP payments. It may pay to consider ways to help reduce sickness in the workplace too, such as introducing initiatives to reduce stress and improve mental health. This has benefits beyond employee wellness too, potentially boosting EVP and customer retention.</p>\\n<h3>Trade Unions</h3>\\n<p>The introduction of the new bill will signal the end of certain legislations introduced during the terms of previous administrations, such as the &lsquo;Anti-Union Legislation&rsquo; and its associated Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023.</p>\\n<p>Under Labour leadership, it&rsquo;s anticipated that there will be a step change regarding unions; plans are afoot to ensure they have a bigger role in employee rights and representation.</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Increased Union Activity</strong> - The repeal of anti-union legislation will be supported by new requirements for employers to provide written statements of the right to join a union. Trade unions will also have mandatory access to workplaces upon submitting an &lsquo;access request&rsquo; and agreeing terms on what they can access, when and how often.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>In response to growing union influence, employers should consider how they will respond to these access requests and set out policies to ensure compliance with the new obligations. It is also an opportunity to reconsider the role they want to have in the future in respect of working with unions.</p>\\n<h3>Outsourcing</h3>\\n<p>Changes made through the Procurement Act 2023 could lead to regulations being introduced which require that new contractual provisions are included in relevant public sector outsourcing contracts.</p>\\n<p>The aim is to avoid public sector suppliers having two-tier workforces, with different employment terms for employees who have transferred from the public sector and those employees who have not.</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Equal Employment Terms</strong> - New regulations will require that employers ensure all employees, including those transferred from the public sector, have equally beneficial employment terms, not merely similar or &lsquo;better than before&rsquo;.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>With this change likely to have significant cost implications for employers taking on public sector contracts, companies should start considering the potential for increased costs when taking on public sector workers.</p>\\n<h2>Fair Work Agency</h2>\\n<p>It is anticipated that, by 2026 at the latest, a new Fair Work Agency will be established and given the responsibility to ensure all employees are given fair, and equal rights and opportunities within the workplace, regardless of their role.</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Establishment of a Fair Work Agency</strong> - This agency will protect employee rights and enforce compliance, particularly regarding holiday pay and sick pay. Procedures are likely to be similar to those applied to the national minimum wage enforcement, so fines and even prosecution could come into play too.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>Whilst the introduction of the agency won&rsquo;t be immediate, employers should already start to consider and react to the potential increased risk of enforcement action and start to plan accordingly, reviewing how they comply to legislation and regulation. It is worth noting that the agency will have access to historical records too, so any actions before the agency is established could come back to haunt any company that has disputes outstanding.</p>\\n<h2>Additional Family-Based Protections</h2>\\n<p>The Labour government has outlined a commitment to providing additional &lsquo;family-based&rsquo; protections and types of leave that will be given when an employee is dealing with personal issues beyond illnesses. As such, the new reforms have included changes and additions including:</p>\\n<ul type=\\"disc\\">\\n<li><strong>Bereavement Leave</strong> - There will be a new statutory right to bereavement leave beyond the current parental bereavement leave.</li>\\n<li><strong>Paternity and Parental Leave</strong> - Similar to other employee rights, the right to paternity and parental leave will be given to all employees from day one of the employment.</li>\\n<li><strong>Protections for Pregnant Women and New Mothers</strong> - Stronger protections from dismissal while pregnant or on maternity leave will be created, as well as for a period after returning to work (this is likely to be 6 months).</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>As is the case for many of these new legislations, employers must already start considering what actions they may need to take to ensure these new rights and protections are adhered to, reviewing and amending existing policies and procedures where appropriate.</p>\\n<h2>Gender Pay Gap</h2>\\n<p>Whilst work has been done to narrow the gender pay gap in recent years, Labour&rsquo;s new legislation and laws have put a spotlight on what else there is to do, and how much there is to do too.</p>\\n<p>There are already reporting requirements on gender pay gaps for organisations of over 250 employees, but employers will soon have to go further in their reporting and action taking.</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Mandatory Action Plans</strong> - Employers will be required to develop and publish plans to reduce gender pay gaps within their business and wider industry. &nbsp;Additionally, they must strive to provide more support to women during the menopause.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>These regulations will likely be implemented in 2026, but as they are vital to achieving more equitable and diverse workforces, it will pay for employers to consider actions as soon as possible. This includes developing and putting in place equality action plans; addressing gender pay gaps; and assessing how female employers are being supported.</p>\\n<h2>Flexible Working</h2>\\n<p>A renewed focus on flexible working will drive a motion to promote a better work-life balance for employees and make clearer the flexible working policies and processes of all employers, to ensure that both sides of the working relationship understand their needs and expectations.</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Default Position&nbsp;</strong>- Flexible working will become the default, with employers required to show that refusals are reasonable. Without specific grounds to do otherwise, employers must permit an employee to work flexibly.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>Policies and processes will need to define what is and is not reasonable refusal of flexible working, and employers must adhere to them &ndash; fairly and consistently. In preparation, employers need to take responsibility for considering what &lsquo;reasonable&rsquo; is and planning accordingly.</p>\\n<h2>New Worker Protection Measures</h2>\\n<p>There will be a continued emphasis on safeguarding employees from sexual harassment, with specific and more rigorous obligations on employers to help protect their people from harassment &ndash; including from third parties such as customers or passengers.</p>\\n<p>Employers will need to address any harassment and take action against it; failure to do so could result in a 25% increase in compensation for employees who successfully bring harassment claims.</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Sexual Harassment</strong> -&nbsp;Employers must take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment; this includes conducting risk assessments and supporting affected employees. They must also demonstrate that they are doing everything reasonably possible to prevent harassment and act when promptly when incidents occur.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>Whilst people-facing employees are most at risk of harassment, employers&rsquo; obligations apply to all employees, regardless of their role or working location. Safeguarding must be front and centre of all risk assessments, company-wide, and reviews of processes put in place to prevent &ndash; and react to &ndash; incidents must take place regularly and thoroughly.</p>\\n<h2>Future Prospects and Consultations</h2>\\n<p>In addition to these 13 key changes being implemented in the short to medium term, the Labour government has outlined further plans for employment law reform in the coming years, including:</p>\\n<ul type=\\"disc\\">\\n<li><strong>Right to Switch Off</strong> - There will be regulations introduced to prohibit employers from contacting employees outside working hours, as part of a drive to create a better work-life balance for all.</li>\\n<li><strong>Ethnicity and Disability Pay Gap Reporting</strong> - Mandatory reporting to address pay disparities will be introduced, with the aim of identifying ways of narrowing pay gaps.</li>\\n<li><strong>Reform to Employment Status</strong> - Providing greater clarity on employment status and removing the intermediate category of &lsquo;worker&rsquo;.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h2>In Summary</h2>\\n<p>Labour&rsquo;s legislative changes signify a shift towards what will hopefully become more inclusive, equitable, and safe work environments.</p>\\n<p>Whilst these reforms aim to benefit employees, they have the potential to improve the way businesses operate and perform too and futureproof them as the working world &ndash; and the people within it &ndash; constantly change.</p>\\n<p>Now, and going forward into a brighter future, companies must stay informed and prepared to adapt their policies and practices to comply with the evolving landscape of employment law.

They provide people vital skills, knowledge, qualifications and hands-on experience required to not only find a role within their chosen industry or area of interest but thrive within it too.</p>\\n<p>At Carbon60 we have &ndash; for several decades &ndash; had the privilege of working with talented individuals and global, industry-leading organisations, and connecting them through apprenticeship programmes that provide incredible training, development and employment opportunities, and help to create stronger workforces for the future.</p>\\n<p>To highlight the power and potential of such partnerships, we asked Aishath Naufa Ahmed &ndash; a Graduate Aircraft Engineer at STS Aviation &ndash; to tell us about their journey and experience.</p>\\n<h2>So Aishath, tell us about your journey so far</h2>\\n<p>&ldquo;My name is Aishath Naufa Ahmed, and I am a Graduate Aircraft Engineer at STS Aviation Services in Birmingham.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;I have wanted to work in the aviation industry in some way since I was young; when I was 8, I remember wanting to grow up and become a Cabin Crew member or something like that, but eventually I was drawn to Aircraft Engineering.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;Unfortunately, in the Maldives &ndash; where I was born and raised &ndash; opportunities to enter the industry are rare, especially for females. Thankfully things a different in the UK!</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;Despite studying hard throughout my early education, I gained disappointing O-level results. But that didn&rsquo;t stop me! I enrolled in a BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Engineering and graduated with distinction. However, universities only accepted the Level 3 Extended Diploma, which wasn\'t available at the time, leaving me devastated.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;With support from my principal the course got registered in the Maldives, and I completed the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Engineering with additional modules. I was the first person in the Maldives to graduate with triple distinction, opening this pathway to others &ndash; something I am extremely proud.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;After moving to the UK, I later earned a First Class BSc (Hons) in Aircraft Engineering and Maintenance Systems from the University of South Wales, completing 12 EASA and 12 CAA modules. These qualifications are crucial for obtaining the license of a licensed aircraft engineer.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;Breaking into aviation can be challenging for anyone, but I did initially find it very difficult. When I first applied for jobs, having an international passport became a concern, as most companies were not hiring international students. That&rsquo;s why I looked for alternative avenues.&rdquo;</p>\\n<h2>Can you give us some insight into your apprenticeship experience?</h2>\\n<p>&ldquo;Knowing that it would be more difficult for me to find my own way into an aviation career, I decided to look for help and guidance on what options were available to me. It was at this point that I connected with Carbon60.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;Thanks to Carbon60 and their wonderful team, including Chris Blackburn and Gayle Wallace, I was able to apply for a programme with STS Aviation, who partner with Carbon60 to provide aviation career opportunities to people just like me.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;The process with Carbon60 and STS, who accept applications from people with international passports, was seamless, from the selection process through to the interview and assessment day phases, and I was provided with all the help I needed to prepare throughout.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;Since joining the programme, my day-to-day work has been rewarding, allowing me to handle various tasks, gain exposure, and log my CAP 741 logbook hours. I enjoy working with different people all over the world, hearing about their paths to this field, and receiving their advice and guidance as I progress in my career. The highlight is seeing aircraft in and out of the hangar every day. Although I&rsquo;ve only been in the industry for 4 months and am yet to face any major challenges, I know I will be ready for any that arise and will always be supported to take them on.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;In addition to my work, I am participating in the \\"Women in Leadership\\" programme with Carbon60 and Raise the Bar. This course has helped me reflect on and build my leadership skills and develop strategies for navigating my career in a what has historically been a male-dominated field.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;I am passionate about empowering women and encouraging them to pursue careers in aviation and engineering, fields that are often underrepresented by females. Through this programme, I hope to inspire more women to explore these opportunities and break barriers in industries like ours.\\"</p>\\n<h2>What advice would you give anyone on a similar path?</h2>\\n<p>&ldquo;Never put a limit on your opportunities and what you can achieve. I truly believe with will and determination, nothing is impossible and EVERYTHING is possible. I like to think I am an example of that.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone, and reach out for help, support and guidance. I highly recommend utilising the expertise of those in the industry you want to establish a career in. I am so glad that my journey so far has led me to connecting with Carbon60 and STS Aviation &ndash; both companies, and their amazing people, have provided immense support and always helped me resolve any problems I&rsquo;ve faced.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;I live by a famous quote from Henry Ford, who said &ldquo;<em>When everything seems to be going against you, remember that aircraft take off against the wind, not with it</em>.&rdquo;</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;If you&rsquo;re reading this, I hope you take those words on board too. And take some inspiration from my story s

In the recruitment sector, this period offers a chance for both companies and candidates to reflect on their ambitions for the coming year, anticipate changes in the dynamic job market, and strategise on how to adapt and thrive.</p>\\n<p>With this in mind, as we begin another year filled with potential transformations and advancements, we are delving into the key recruitment trends for 2025. These trends are poised to play a crucial role in shaping successful recruitment strategies and fostering productive, happy workforces for the year ahead and beyond.</p>\\n<h2>Engaging Passive Candidates</h2>\\n<p>In 2025, the quest for the right talent with the necessary skills, expertise, and experience must extend beyond traditional methods. Merely posting job ads and waiting for applications or contacting those with an \'Open to Work\' status on LinkedIn may not suffice.</p>\\n<p>Actively engaging passive candidates &ndash; individuals who are currently employed or not actively seeking new roles &ndash; is expected to be one of the most effective ways to discover impactful talent.</p>\\n<p>Although targeting these individuals may be challenging and require creative strategies, the potential rewards for both employers and employees are significant. Companies can access top-tier talent, while these candidates might find exciting opportunities they hadn\'t previously considered, creating a win-win situation.</p>\\n<h2>Being Transparent with Salaries</h2>\\n<p>

1Competitive compensation has always been a key factor for top talent considering a job change.</p>\\n<p>In 2025, given the ongoing global economic challenges, salary transparency will likely become even more critical, especially for millennials and Gen Z, who may skip job listings that don\'t disclose salary information.</p>\\n<p>Employers and recruiters must adapt by considering being upfront about salary offerings, moving away from the outdated practice of withholding this information until the interview stage. This transparency helps companies attract the right talent and allows candidates to make informed decisions, fostering trust between organisations and job seekers.</p>\\n<h2>The Impact of AI and Automation</h2>\\n<p>Artificial Intelligence and automation are already transforming our daily lives and various industries, including recruitment.</p>\\n<p>The AI-driven revolution in talent acquisition is set to expand further in 2025. AI and automation tools offer numerous benefits, such as processing information quickly and aiding in informed decision-making. They are used for tasks such as scheduling, shortlisting, predicting candidate fit, and crafting resumes and cover letters.</p>\\n<p>However, it\'s crucial to use AI responsibly and transparently, as there are concerns about its overuse. Fair and honest use of AI will be essential in building strong relationships between employers and employees in an increasingly digital world.</p>\\n<h2>Flexible Working and Work-Life Balance</h2>\\n<p>In recent years, and especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, flexible working models and work-life balance have become significant factors for job seekers. This trend is expected to continue in 2025.</p>\\n<p>Remote and hybrid working models, which combine office-based and remote work, offer flexibility that many employees value. Being transparent about the availability of flexible working options can be a deciding factor for candidates considering a role.</p>\\n<p>While it may not suit all organisations, embracing hybrid and remote working c

This approach focuses on providing opportunities to candidates who may not have formal qualifications but possess the necessary skills or the potential to learn them.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Additionally, developing and promoting existing talent is crucial for building a stronger workforce, creating new opportunities, and narrowing skill gaps, while also positioning the organisation as a desirable place to work and grow.</p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/91jpj42nr54a0qa4ziac6yftndqy"},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"short_description":{"en":"As we embark on a new year, let\'s explore the leading recruitment trends for 2025 and how both companies and candidates can leverage them effectively."},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"predicting-2025-s-top-recruitment-trends","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2025-01-10T11:32:37.498Z","updated_at":"2025-01-10T11:32:37.498Z"},{"id":"a17c08d6-056d-4fd3-8e87-a707346eb857","tag":{"en":["Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2024-12-11"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/9to35ow4icz0xc59dxuy06n6palh"},"title":{"en":"The Impact of the National Insurance Change on Employers and Recruitment"},"author":{"en":"Ian Davies"},"content":{"en":"<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">The Labour Government&rsquo;s 2024 Autumn Budget announcement revealed significant changes to various policies, including some that would include increases to taxation and costs.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Whilst such increases are being implemented with raising funds to reduce the UK&rsquo;s fiscal deficit in mind, the potential impact of them on industries, organisations and their employees are expected to be considerable, with&nbsp; impacts on recruitment, growth potential and talent retention expected.</p>\\n<p>Understanding the challenges of the employer National Insurance contributions and their implications are vital to understanding how a company can react to them with the growth of their business and their workforce in mind.</p>\\n<h2>How can employers react to impact of the National Insurance change?</h2>\\n<p>Planning and implementing effective strategies for talent recruitment and retention can help to minimise the potential impact of the NI increase and enable an organisation to continue the growth and development of their workforce and business, with a focus on the objective of finding, hiring and keeping the right people, with the right skills required.</p>\\n<p>This is where Carbon60&rsquo;s recruitment expertise and experience of connecting engineering and technical organisations with the best talent available can pay dividends.</p>\\n<p>By investing in our talent solutions, from specialist search to temporary and permanent workforce services, a company benefits from our ability to create strategies and plans suited to their specific goals, and find, attract, hire and retain people &ndash; from a diverse, multi-skilled pool of talent &ndash; who&rsquo;ll help their business grow too.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Potential Impact on Recruitment and Talent Retention</h2>\\n<p>The National Insurance increase has the potential to influence an organisation and the way it operates way beyond its expenditure, profits and overheads.</p>\\n<p>Whilst a hike in company spend and taxation will always make headlines, implications often unseen from the &lsquo;outside world&rsquo; may have the biggest impact. It is rather what the increased spend and cost will influence that&rsquo;ll potentially matter most, leading to changes in the way that an organisation, its working environment and its people operate.</p>\\n<p>Talent recruitment and retention, for example, is always affected by economic changes, and it is safe to expect the employer National Insurance rise to alter the way businesses approach the hiring of new talent, as well as keeping hold of existing workforces.</p>\\n<p>

1As a result of the higher employment costs, companies could face various challenges including, but not limited to, the following:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Changing recruitment plans</strong> - with higher costs there may be less budget available to make new hires, particularly for higher-salaried, full-time roles. This could significantly alter recruitment and growth plans and objectives.</li>\\n<li><strong>Pay structure and promotion reviews </strong>-&nbsp;any planned pay reviews and increases could be considered unmanageable when factoring in the new additional costs involved with employer contributions and tax. Additionally, staff promotions &ndash; to higher responsibility, and therefore higher-paid roles &ndash; could become less likely.</li>\\n<li><strong>Limited training and development budgets </strong>- growing employer costs can impact employees beyond their pay packets. In addition to the potential for pay and promotion reviews, training and development opportunities could decrease as part of cost cutting measures.</li>\\n<li><strong>Potential layoffs</strong> - some businesses, in particular SMEs, may not only have less scope to hire for growth, but in extreme cases may in fact struggle to afford to retain their existing workforce, who could look elsewhere to find the growth opportunities and wage increases they were hoping for.</li>\\n<li><strong>Financial Strategy reviews</strong> - growing employment costs will naturally impact the overall costs for a company, leading to a need to reassess overall budgets across an organisation and review how overall operations may be impacted.</li>\\n<li><strong>Higher costs for consumers/clients</strong> - profits are power. Always. In the fact of higher costs, companies may be forces to raise the prices for the products and/or services they provide &ndash; knocking on the effect of employment costs on to consumers/clients who may find themselves forced to look elsewhere to save money themselves.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h2>How We Can Support You</h2>\\n<p>Carbon60 and our experts are here to help you navigate the changes to the employer National Insurance contributions, and ensure that you remain agile and competitive as you strive to find, hire and retain the very best talent for your requirements.&nbsp;<br><br>This is not just a compliance challenge; it is also an opportunity to reimagine how your business engages with its workforce.

Perhaps you feel the company and working environment you&rsquo;re in isn&rsquo;t best suited to you. Or maybe you simply think you&rsquo;re not being rewarded well enough for your effort and performance.</p>\\n<p>It is entirely normal to consider whether you&rsquo;re in the right role, or career in general. If you are, it might be time to consider your career development options, and how to pursue them.</p>\\n<h2>What are Career Development Opportunities?</h2>\\n<p>Career development opportunities are exactly as the name suggests &ndash; opportunities to develop and further your career. It is that simple.</p>\\n<p>These opportunities are your route to reaching new heights in your respective role and career, or perhaps even discovering a new job or career that you can thrive in.</p>\\n<p>

1The focus of career development is to enable personal and professional growth, drive the learning of new skills and knowledge, and provide valuable new experiences.</p>\\n<p>In most cases, career development opportunities are provided and taken with specific end goals in mind; these are often chances to take on more senior roles and responsibilities, which in turn could lead to a better salary.</p>\\n<h2>Why is Career Development Important?</h2>\\n<p>Unless you&rsquo;re entirely happy in your role and career, and believe you will be for the foreseeable future, it is vital to consider your career development and any opportunities that could enable you to grow and further yourself.</p>\\n<p>Doing so could introduce you to new roles, industries and areas of professional interest that you may not have considered previously; potentially opening up alternative career paths better suited to your future goals.</p>\\n<p>Within your existing career, it could make all the difference if you&rsquo;re feeling like you need a push. Developing yourself personally and professionally and working towards new milestones is a great motivator.</p>\\n<p>What&rsquo;s more, the potential achievements &ndash; whether they&rsquo;re new qualifications, a new role or a better salary &ndash; can provide a wonderful sense of accomplishment too.</p>\\n<p>Ultimately, the decision to take advantage of career development opportunities will be driven by an individual&rsquo;s specific aspirations and motivations. But regardless of what your aims and future goals are, it is important to understand the importance of career development and what it could potentially provide.</p>\\n<h2>Tips for Career Development</h2>\\n<p>Wondering how to kickstart your career development, or perhaps take it to the next level? Here are a few handy tips to help you on your way.</p>\\n<h3>Assess your past, present and future</h3>\\n<p>As you look ahead to where your career may take you, and what development you may need to get there, it is important to assess where you&rsquo;ve been, where you are now, and where you would like to go.</p>\\n<p>Do you feel like you&rsquo;ve made the most out of your past experiences and opportunities? Are you getting enough from your current role and/or career? Are you being given the chances to take advantage of the development you need, personally and professionally, to better yourself and your career?</p>\\n<p>These are the sorts of questions you should consider when planning your potential career development path, and the goals at the end of it&hellip;</p>\\n<h3>Make goals and go for them</h3>\\n<p>Having realistic goals to aim for will enable you to focus your career development and home in on what you want to achieve &ndash; personally and professionally. Think short term and long term; what would you like to achieve in a few months, and how will that help you get to where you want to be in a few years&rsquo; time perhaps?</p>\\n<p>Plot your route, considering what training and learning you&rsquo;ll need along the way, how long it will take to progress, and who you&rsquo;ll need to help you succeed.</p>\\n<p>A great way to do this is through developing your own SMART goals &ndash; ensuring they are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-based. This will give you structure, allow you to keep track of your progress easily, focus on specific tasks and goals, and distinguish between short and long term aims. Aiming for and achieving these goals can be a powerful motivator too.</p>\\n<h3>Build and use your network</h3>\\n<p>Whether you&rsquo;re fortunate enough to have clarity on where you would like your career and career development to take you, or are unsure and need some direction, networking has so many potential benefits.</p>\\n<p>Building a network of people who are already working in the roles or industries you&rsquo;re looking to find down the line, as well as those who have previously journeyed along a similar career development path, can provide you access to vital insights into which steps you could or should take to achieve your goals.</p>\\n<p>Perhaps think about reaching out to those already within your current company, or maybe even reach out on professional networking sites such as LinkedIn to people in your desired industry. Or, if you&rsquo;re in the early stages of your career, consider speaking to your lecturers or people you may have had work experience with. Their experience, and the knowledge they&rsquo;ve gained from it, can help you to shape your career development and where it could lead.</p>\\n<h3>Stay curious and keep learning</h3>\\n<p>

1You know what they say&hellip; every day is a school day!</p>\\n<p>Whilst this is usually a casual, passing comment, when it comes to career development it actually bears some weight. One of the most important aspects of developing your career is to never stand still; always be prepared to take on new experiences, gather as much insight and guidance from people around you as possible and, when you can, take advantage of any learning opportunities you are given.</p>\\n<p>Even people who have had long, distinguished careers in specific fields don&rsquo;t know everything; things change daily, affecting how industries &ndash; and people&rsquo;s roles within them &ndash; operate.</p>\\n<p>So, stay on your toes, stay curious and make sure you&rsquo;re always willing to learn. Knowledge is power and it will take you as far as you want it to.</p>\\n<h3>Utilise internal opportunities with current employer</h3>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;re already in employment, it&rsquo;s likely that your current employer has a variety of educational tools, resources and learning and development opportunities available. If so, be sure to make the most of them &ndash; even if your current role may not align with where you&rsquo;d like to end up in your career down the line.</p>\\n<p>Easily accessible training and development tools can be hard to come by, so it pays to use them whenever possible. They could help you gain management and leadership skills; build your knowledge of certain topics; and provide an understanding of what future development opportunities could offer too.</p>\\n<p>And, if you are already in a role and career that matches your future aspirations, they could be the key to continuing your growth and helping you take the next step on your career ladder within your current company.</p>\\n<h3>Be organised</h3>\\n<p>Whilst the end goal of your career development plan might always remain the same, what happens between when you start your journey and then could change&hellip; a lot! There is potential for lots of elements to be in play, from what you would like to achieve within certain timeframes to how you&rsquo;re going to track your success.</p>\\n<p>Therefore, being organised is vital.</p>\\n<p>Keep track of your goals, what you&rsquo;ve achieved so far and what&rsquo;s next. Think about what&rsquo;s on the horizon, in the coming days, weeks and months and how they will impact the coming years. Create schedules and plan ahead, considering where you want to be and by when. It can really make a difference, in the short and long term.</p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/5b62j5j2aibgtjd3gi2qtonb3w5b"},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"short_description":{"en":"The career development journey can be tricky to navigate.

How would you describe your experience working with Carbon60?</h3>\\n<p><strong>Yu-Fen:</strong> &ldquo;Working with Carbon60 has been a rewarding experience! I\'ve gained valuable knowledge about the recruitment industry and how they expertly match talent with opportunities, ensuring a great experience for both candidates and employers.\\"</p>\\n<p><strong>Kartpaga: </strong>&ldquo;My experience with Carbon60 has been highly enriching. The research project allowed me to engage with industry experts and work on a project that deepened my&nbsp;understanding of key industry processes. The point of contact was supportive, and the&nbsp;work environment fostered personal and professional growth.&rdquo;</p>\\n<h3>2. What have you learned from this experience?</h3>\\n<p><strong>Yu-Fen:</strong> &ldquo;From this experience, I\'ve learned two key things: One is that the UK staffing and recruitment industry is much more advanced compared to Taiwan. My work experience gave me a chance to learn different practices and strategies that were outside my original understanding.</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;Secondly, I gained insight into how crucial email automation marketing is for engaging both candidates and clients effectively. Proper execution not only strengthens relationships but also significantly contributes to business growth.&rdquo;</p>\\n<p><strong>Kartpaga:</strong> &ldquo;I learned to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world industry standards, particularly in data analytics, where I had the opportunity to understand the impressions of existing user experience and strategies KPIs for future email marketing campaigns. Additionally,&nbsp;I gained insights into how teams collaborate in a fast-paced environment, honing my communication skills.</p>\\n<h3>3. To you, what was the most important part of this learning experience?</h3>\\n<p><strong>Yu-Fen:</strong> &ldquo;The most important part of this learning experience was understanding how email&nbsp;automation plays a strategic role in the staffing and recruitment industry, unlike Taiwan&nbsp;where its focus is mainly on e-commerce. In the staffing and recruitment sector, email&nbsp;automation marketing builds personalised relationships with both candidates and clients,&nbsp;helping to maintain engagement and nurture long-term connections.&rdquo;</p>\\n<p><strong>Kartpaga: </strong>&ldquo;The most important part was gaining hands-on experience and seeing how industry&nbsp;professionals navigate through each phase of an event. It gave me a clearer understanding of how the theories I&rsquo;ve studied, along with communication styles and data evaluation for projects, can be implemented to deliver results in real-world situations.&rdquo;</p>\\n<h3>4. What challenges did you encounter during this experience? How did you respond?</h3>\\n<p><strong>Yu-Fen:</strong> &ldquo;One challenge I encountered was the lack of sufficient knowledge about email automation marketing from my academic background. To address this, I relied on guid

Do you feel like this experience has given you the opportunity to see what it is like to work in the industry? If so, please explain why.</h3>\\n<p><strong>Yu-Fen:</strong> &ldquo;Yes, this experience has given me valuable insight into the staffing and recruitment industry. It allowed me to understand how the industry interacts with candidates and clients, what crucial information needs to be collected, and how that data is used to optimise marketing performance. This experience helped me understand how these strategies contribute to business growth, offering a clear view of the industry\'s operations and challenges.&rdquo;</p>\\n<p><strong>Kartpaga:</strong> &ldquo;Absolutely.

Companies cease trading for the festive period, fewer people are in the office and budgets tend to be tight. But if a new job is at the top of your Christmas list this year, we&rsquo;re here to tell you why there&rsquo;s actually no better time to start looking.</p>\\n<h2>More Time to Search for a New Role</h2>\\n<p>A lot of businesses tend to cease trading around mid-end December which means more free time for you to clean up your CV and start that lengthy application process. You might also have annual leave you need to take before the end of the year, so why not use it to focus on your career development? As well, if your general workload starts to ease you can always spend that extended lunch scanning jobsites for the latest vacancies. Just remember to save your favourites and apply for them out of work when you&rsquo;re not distracted and can give them your full attention.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Less Competition</h2>\\n<p><br>Most people take the time out over Christmas to enjoy the festivities and spend time with family which naturally means less time is spent focusing on job hunting. It&rsquo;s always easier to stand out from the crowd and get ahead of the game by January when the rest of the talent pool are still &lsquo;umming and ahhing&rsquo; about their current jobs. Stay determined, be pro-active and be sure to keep up conversations throughout December. Recruiters are more likely to have a stronger rapport with a candidate that has kept in contact with them throughout this period than those who have been unresponsive.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>Companies are still hiring</strong></h2>\\n<p><br>Despite what you might think companies are still hiring and most companies will still trade throughout December. In fact, a lot of companies may have remaining budget that they need to spend by the end of the year. If this is the case, they could be looking to hire in December to ensure they are prepared for the New Year. Take advantage of this and remember, December can be a difficult month for recruiters who may be struggling to hit target so they&rsquo;ll be more than happy to help you find your next role.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>More vacancies</strong></h2>\\n<p><br>It&rsquo;s quite common that people leave their jobs at this time of year to spend more time with loved ones and to start a fresh in January. This inevitably opens up new opportunities for you. Companies will want to start out the new year with everything in place and with no loose ends which could mean hiring extra people is at the top of their to do lists.</p>\\n<h2><strong>Increase in networking opportunities</strong></h2>\\n<p><br>Whether it&rsquo;s a Christmas party thrown by family and friends or a business function hosted by work or professional association, this means plenty of opportunities to let others know you&rsquo;re on the market for a new job or career change. Fellow party-goers may be feeling merry and could be willing to put you in touch with potential connections. If your friend works for a company where you&rsquo;d like to be employed, then why not see if you can attend their Christmas party with them &ndash; it&rsquo;s a great opportunity to make some solid connections and really sell yourself in a more informal environment.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>Temp work opportunities</strong></h2>\\n<p>When you think of Christmas temp work don&rsquo;t automatically just think of retail. Many companies look for temporary staff to assist with end of year clean-ups and hectic tasks that current staff don&rsquo;t tend to have time for. It may not be exactly what you&rsquo;re looking for at present but at least it means you&rsquo;re available immediately when you do find your next perm role. It can also mean you&rsquo;re in the right place at the right time when the company is looking to take someone on permanently in the New Year so never overlook it as an option.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><br>&nbsp;<br>So what are you waiting for, click <a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/jobs\\"><strong>here</strong> </a>to view our latest vacancies or <strong><a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/contact-us\\">contact us</a></strong> for help with any aspect of finding and landing your next great job.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"short_description":{"en":"There\'s no better time than Christmas to start looking for that new role and getting ahead of the game..."},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"why-christmas-is-the-best-time-to-job-hunt","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:07.439Z","updated_at":"2024-11-19T16:08:53.160Z"}

What&rsquo;s more, AI is here to stay.</p>\\n<p>In industry in particular, AI applications are developing and being implemented at a rapid rate. Across STEM industries for example, they are being used to drive forward research, discovery and change the way companies and their people operate.</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/impact-of-artificial-intelligence-in-engineering-an-engineer-s-friend-or-foe\\">Having already discussed the impact of Artificial Intelligence on Engineers</a>, in this article we&rsquo;re going to delve a little deeper into how AI is shaping the development of techniques and materials used in Engineering now and will do in the future.</p>\\n<h2>Artificial Intelligence&rsquo;s Impact on Engineering Applications and Techniques</h2>\\n<p>Engineering is constantly evolving. And so are the techniques being used within the industry.</p>\\n<p>Historically, any developments, advances and adaptations made to engineering techniques have been devised and driven by &ndash; with the support of the technology available to them, of course &ndash; the minds of expert, often genius engineers with hands-on experience and knowledge that enabled them to identify potential engineering challenges and what was needed to tackle them.</p>\\n<p>Today, Artificial Intelligence is playing a role too. The growing power of AI, which is constantly adapting and evolving, is helping to transform and optimise a wide range of engineering processes, functions and techniques.</p>\\n<p><strong>AI Driven Design and Optimisation</strong> &ndash;&nbsp;Leveraging the power of AI&rsquo;s machine learning and generative design capabilities, working in parallel with engineer&rsquo;s existing expertise and experience, allows complex engineering processes and tasks to be more efficient, sustainable and innovative.</p>\\n<p><strong>Predictive Maintenance and Asset Management </strong>&ndash;&nbsp;

1Another way in which Artificial Intelligence is driving engineering efficiency and reliability; by studying data and predicting patterns, AI can help to discover problem areas before they even arise, which can reduce downtime, maintenance costs and free-up time.</p>\\n<p><strong>Collaborative Robotics and Human-Machine Synergy</strong> &ndash;&nbsp;Artificial Intelligence robots learn from humans as much as they can teach them and can adapt to the parameters of certain situations and tasks to complete and perform them &ndash; alongside humans &ndash; to a remarkably high standard.</p>\\n<p><strong>AI-Enhanced Safety and Risk Management</strong> &ndash;&nbsp;AI has the power to help take health and safety management to the next level, through identifying potential risks and suggesting potential outcomes and countermeasures, which can then be put into place in relevant processes and functions.</p>\\n<p><strong>AI in Education and Skill Development </strong>&ndash;&nbsp;Engineering is evolving and developing all the time, requiring the development and learning of new skills, processes and knowledge. Utilising AI to identify potential new skills and processes that may be required in the future gives engineers a potential head start, allowing them to nurture such skills ahead of the time they may be needed.</p>\\n<h2>Artificial Intelligence&rsquo;s Impact on Engineering Materials and Development</h2>\\n<p>The demands of engineering, and therefore the expectations of engineers and their work too, are constantly growing. Engineering projects require efficiency and a dedication to working to set parameters and deadlines, reducing time to completion where possible, whilst always maintaining the highest standards.</p>\\n<p>This is why the materials that engineers have at their disposal are so integral to the work they do; stronger, lighter, easier to use and more resilient materials can help engineers develop and use new techniques and applications, aid efficiency and ease-of-working, and increase the quality of production and product.</p>\\n<p>So does the power of Artificial Intelligence, and how it can be applied to discover the new and improve the old, have a role to play in the discovery and development of materials and material engineering? According to IEEE, the world&rsquo;s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity, &ldquo;quite possibly&rdquo;.</p>\\n<p>In their piece on <a href=\\"https://yp.ieee.org/blog/2022/04/13/how-artificial-intelligence-will-influence-materials-engineers/\\">How Artificial Intelligence Will Influence Materials Engineers</a>, Jennifer D. Bosavage discusses how AI is already influencing material discovery and production, and how it will do in the future too. They highlight how AI can be used to deduce existing &lsquo;recipes&rsquo; for particular materials and discover potential ways of developing these materials further, based on specific requirements and applications; the ability to dramatically accelerate new material development and production overall; and how, with the assistance of robotics and machine learning, AI can increase efficiency by reducing the need for &lsquo;trial and error&rsquo; based research that is usually undertaken by humans.</p>\\n<p>And, as Amil Merchant and Ekin Dogus Cubik of Google DeepMind highlight, Artificial Intelligence&rsquo;s influence on material development isn&rsquo;t only theoretical. In fact, <a href=\\"https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/millions-of-new-materials-discovered-with-deep-learning/\\">millions of new materials have been, and will continue to be, discovered with AI-driven deep learning</a>. AI tool GNoME has been used to find 2.2 million new crystals, including 380,000 stable materials that already show promise for their potential to be applied to a wide range of engineering applications that could power the development of future transformative technologies ranging from superconductors, super computers and batteries for computers, green energy, electric vehicles and much more.</p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"short_description":{"en":"Artificial Intelligence is already making its mark in the world of STEM, impacting many industries, their people and how they work.

Despite this, because of racial prejudices, lack of support and a multitude of hurdles put in their way, many of these great people &ndash; and their game-changing work &ndash; had been overlooked for decades.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">So, for Black History Month 2024, which embraces the theme of &lsquo;Reclaiming Narratives&rsquo;, we thought we would put the spotlight on a few of our black engineering heroes, to celebrate their stories and remember the contributions they made, not just to the history of engineering, but life today as we know it.</p>\\n<h2>Meredith Gourdine &ndash; Electrogas Dynamics</h2>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">One of the most respected inventors in the history of electrodynamics, Gourdine&rsquo;s name is attached to 27 patents in his field. Having gained a bachelor\'s degree in Engineering at Cornell University, and a PhD in Engineering Physics from the California Institute of Technology, he went on to become a director of aerospace laboratories and the chief scientist in charge of developing spaceship engines.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">However, it was when Gourdine established his own company, Gourdine Systems, that he really made his mark, going to become the industry leader in electrostatic precipitator systems. His vast catalogue of inventions included Incineraid, for helping to dissipate smoke from burning buildings, and airport fog precipitation methods. He also turned his knowledge to applying electrogas dynamics to circuit breakers, air monitors and coating systems.</p>\\n<h2>Dr. Aprille Ericsson-Jackson &ndash; Mechanical Engineering</h2>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">A true trailblazer, Dr Aprille Ericsson-Jackson is an inspiration. Having been born and raised in New York&rsquo;s projects, growing up in a time when prejudice was rife, she &ndash; against the odds &ndash; went on to become the first African American woman to earn a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Howard University, as well as a PhD in Engineering from NASA&rsquo;s Goddard Space Flight Centre.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Beyond that, Ericsson-Jackson built a long, distinguished career at NASA, holding a number of key positions across her 30+ year career, including managing the Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite, and playing an instrumental role in shaping our understanding and knowledge of the solar system.</p>\\n<h2>Walt Braithwaite &ndash; Computer-Aided Design (CAD)</h2>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Having earned an engineering degree from the American Institute of Engineering and Technology in 1965, Jamaica native Walt Braithwaite joined Boeing, the world&rsquo;s largest aerospace company, kickstarting what would become an epic engineering career.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">At Boeing, Braithwaite led the development of some of the most advanced aircraft the world had ever seen, and was at the forefront of developing computer-based systems that would alter engineering and design forever. In 1975, as Chief Engineer at Boeing, he headed-up the development and deployment of computer-aided design (CAD) software, which has become a crucial component of the design workflow in various sectors, assisting in the development, alteration, examination, and enhancement of designs.</p>\\n<h2>Lewis Howard Latimer &ndash; Mechanical and Electrical Engineering</h2>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Lewis Howard Latimer&rsquo;s story has been an influential one since he was young. Born to parents who has escaped slavery in America, at 16 &ndash; having lied about his age &ndash;

1 he joined the US Navy to serve in the Civil War. Honourably discharged from service at 18, Latimer joined a patent law firm, and it was here where he self-taught himself mechanical drawing and design.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">In the following years, thanks to his knowledge of patents, electrical engineering, and his obvious eye for design, Latimer partnered with famous inventors such as Alexander Graham Bell &ndash; to help him with the patent for the telephone &ndash; and Thomas Edison. His work with Edison is what Latimer is best-known for, having improved the design for Edison&rsquo;s lightbulb by modifying carbon filaments that stopped the bulbs burning out too quickly.</p>\\n<h2>Elijah McCoy &ndash; Mechanical Engineering</h2>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Another truly inspirational story is that of Elijah McCoy, a mechanical engineer and prolific inventor. McCoy, like Latimer, was born to parents who had escaped slavery in America. At 15 he left his family in Canada and headed to Scotland for an apprenticeship and mechanical engineering studies at the University of Edinburgh.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Upon returning to America, McCoy aspired to become a Mechanical Engineer. However, due to racial prejudice he was denied the opportunity to do so and was left with the option to become an oiler for the Michigan Railway. It was in this role that, having noticed how inefficient the existing axle oiling system was, he invented an automatic lubrication device that would oil locomotive steam engines on the move, improving efficiency and reliability. A major development in the growing world of rail travel.</p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/40d2xylh8klrxogm0uqfjd90bbtb"},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"short_description":{"en":"For Black History Month 2024, which embraces the theme of \u2018Reclaiming Narratives\u2019, we\u2019re highlighting the often-forgotten stories, studies and inventions of some of our black engineering heroes."},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"celebrating-black-engineering-heroes-for-black-history-month-2024","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2024-10-16T09:00:14.068Z","updated_at":"2024-10-16T09:00:14.068Z"},{"id":"fda2caf5-e641-4e2d-8edb-d3d13120bbc2","tag":{"en":["Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2024-10-10"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/t5ysozt5lomi23upma55p1dvlp8a"},"title":{"en":"Vertage\u2019s Chris Blackburn earns high praise at the 2024 Apprenticeship and Skills Awards"},"author":{"en":"Ian Davies"},"content":{"en":"<p>Chris Blackburn, Director of Skills Growth at Vertage, was recently named a finalist and received high commendation in the Skills Champion category for the Yorkshire and Humber Region at the <a href=\\"https://appawards.co.uk/\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener\\">Apprenticeships and Skills Awards</a>.</p>\\n<p>Now in its 21st year, the awards were established to celebrate the achievements of apprentices and those who champion apprenticeship programs. <a href=\\"https://appawards.co.uk/categories\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener\\">Judges look for</a> individuals who \\"actively promote apprenticeships and skills, going beyond their usual roles to advocate these pathways as outstanding career options.\\"</p>\\n<p>On receiving the recognition, Chris expressed, \\"I&rsquo;m incredibly honored to have been highly commended in this category.

A surge of more than 11,000 daily calls was being received in April 2020 - that equated to a rise of 40% on typical monthly call volumes. Cleaning requirements also intensified due to suspected COVID-19 cases being transported via the ambulance service to hospitals (including Nightingale hospitals) during that time.</p>\\n<p>

1To support this, Carbon60 pulled together a team in a short timescale to provide 24/7 assistance on sourcing and hiring a broad range of roles. We managed to do this by mobilising five key recruiters from other projects to carry out the screening/vetting, video interviewing and subsequent onboarding of the most suitable candidates. The team worked on a shift basis to ensure we met Interserve FM&rsquo;s tight deadlines.</p>\\n<p>This initiative resulted in us filling 170 roles within our first week on this project. 112 hires started on the Easter Bank holiday weekend and at the peak, we had a workforce of 343 individuals in place to help with the COVID-19 emergency efforts.</p>\\n<p>We generated 500 candidates during week one, by launching the Key Work Network - a scheme to help those looking for work (and in particular, furloughed workers) from other sectors to find roles to support during the crisis. A large proportion of people who found work through this program have gone on to become permanent staff members on the project they were placed.</p>\\n</div>\\n</article>\\n<article class=\\"rich-text-article light-grey-bg full-width\\">\\n<div class=\\"l-container\\">\\n<h2>Centre of Excellence</h2>\\n<p>As well as large and critical contracts such as the above, Interserve FM wanted to set up a &lsquo;Centre of Excellence&rsquo; which would provide support to new contracts. It was to include the arranging of security clearance for work related to the MOD and Home Office buildings.</p>\\n<p>For this project, we found the relevant skillset required for each role and sought all relevant clearances. We further managed travel and accommodation bookings on behalf of Interserve FM.</p>\\n<p>Carbon60 also provided up to 20 surveyors who provided support on buildings from MOD bases to Nuclear Decommissioning Authority sites in locations from Anglesey to Somerset.

Cleaning requirements also intensified due to suspected COVID-19 cases being transported via the ambulance service to hospitals (including Nightingale hospitals) during that time.</p>\\n<p>To support this, Carbon60 pulled together a team in a short timescale to provide 24/7 assistance on sourcing and hiring a broad range of roles. We managed to do this by mobilising five key recruiters from other projects to carry out the screening/vetting, video interviewing and subsequent onboarding of the most suitable candidates. The team worked on a shift basis to ensure we met Interserve FM&rsquo;s tight deadlines.</p>\\n<p>This initiative resulted in us filling 170 roles within our first week on this project. 112 hires started on the Easter Bank holiday weekend and at the peak, we had a workforce of 343 individuals in place to help with the COVID-19 emergency efforts.</p>\\n<p>We generated 500 candidates during week one, by launching the Key Work Network - a scheme to help those looking for work (and in particular, furloughed workers) from other sectors to find roles to support during the crisis. A large proportion of people who found work through this program have gone on to become permanent staff members on the project they were placed.</p>"},{"id":"ab54b57b-d369-4fa0-b155-0d3316309e34","title":"Centre of Excellence","content":"<article class=\\"rich-text-article light-grey-bg full-width\\">\\n<div class=\\"l-container\\">\\n<p>As well as large and critical contracts such as the above, Interserve FM wanted to set up a &lsquo;Centre of Excellence&rsquo; which would provide support to new contracts.

We further managed travel and accommodation bookings on behalf of Interserve FM.</p>\\n<p>Carbon60 also provided up to 20 surveyors who provided support on buildings from MOD bases to Nuclear Decommissioning Authority sites in locations from Anglesey to Somerset.

AI such as the infamous ChatGPT has become part of many people&rsquo;s day-to-day, whilst AI applications are becoming bigger and more prevalent across most industries.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Across STEM industries Artificial Intelligence is really making an impact. In Life Sciences for example, AI is helping to develop and accelerate processes for research, discovery and creation of game-changing drugs and treatments. However, whilst AI is supporting people and their work, there are some concerns it could someday remove the need for people and their work altogether.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>So, what about the impact of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering &ndash; one of the key STEM industries? Is AI an engineer&rsquo;s friend or foe? Will it help take engineers and engineering techniques and processes to the next level, or deem them redundant? Let&rsquo;s dive in&hellip;&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Artificial Intelligence in Engineering: The Good</h2>\\n<p>There can be no doubt that Artificial Intelligence has the power and potential to make positive impacts in engineering. In fact, it already is.</p>\\n<p>AI can, and is, helping to transform, improve and optimise a variety of processes, functions and performance metrics across engineering and its various applications. <a href=\\"https://aiengineerhub.com/future-artificial-intelligence\\">A piece from Henri Hubert of the AI Engineer Hub</a>, which helps engineers navigate the AI revolution, highlights just a few of the benefits Artificial Intelligence brings to an engineering environment, including:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>AI Driven Design and Optimisation</strong> &ndash; Leveraging the power of AI&rsquo;s machine learning and generative design capabilities, working in parallel with engineer&rsquo;s existing expertise and experience, allows complex engineering processes and tasks to be more efficient, sustainable and innovative.</li>\\n<li><strong>Predictive Maintenance and Asset Management</strong> &ndash;

1 Another way in which Artificial Intelligence is driving engineering efficiency and reliability; by studying data and predicting patterns, AI can help to discover problem areas before they even arise, which can reduce downtime, maintenance costs and free-up time.</li>\\n<li><strong>Collaborative Robotics and Human-Machine Synergy</strong> &ndash; Artificial Intelligence robots learn from humans as much as they can teach them and can adapt to the parameters of certain situations and tasks to complete and perform them &ndash; alongside humans &ndash; to a remarkably high standard.</li>\\n<li><strong>AI-Enhanced Safety and Risk Management</strong> &ndash; AI has the power to help take health and safety management to the next level, through identifying potential risks and suggesting potential outcomes and countermeasures, which can then be put into place in relevant processes and functions.</li>\\n<li><strong>AI in Education and Skill Development </strong>&ndash; Engineering is evolving and developing all the time, requiring the development and learning of new skills, processes and knowledge. Utilising AI to identify potential new skills and processes that may be required in the future gives engineers a potential head start, allowing them to nurture such skills ahead of the time they may be needed.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>AI, when used correctly, is widely perceived as a supportive technology within the engineering industry; one that &ndash; when used in support of humans, their work and goals, rather than against them &ndash; has the capability to not only change the way things are done for the better now, but also shape the future of the industry too.</p>\\n<p>But the key here, is always whether AI is being &lsquo;used correctly&rsquo;, as we&rsquo;ll now explore&hellip;</p>\\n<h2>Artificial Intelligence in Engineering: The Bad</h2>\\n<p>Considering the power of Artificial Intelligence and the potential breadth of its abilities, it is easy to fall into thinking that AI is the &lsquo;all seeing, all knowing&rsquo; answer to all problems, questions and tasks. This is risky.</p>\\n<p>For example, as <a href=\\"https://eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html\\">highlighted by Eugenia Rho, Assistant Professor at Virginia Tech&rsquo;s Department of Computer Science</a>, an increased dependence on AI can reduce critical thinking, which in turn could potentially lead to a diminishing of skills and knowledge, and &ndash; as a knock-on effect &ndash; deter future human development.</p>\\n<p>Meanwhile, Ali Shojaei Assistant Professor, Myers-Lawson School of Construction <a href=\\"https://eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html\\">warns against an accelerated, all-out integration and adoption of AI in real-world settings</a>, suggesting that seeing Artificial Intelligence as a &lsquo;silver bullet&rsquo; to all problems and challenges in industries such as engineering could lead to poor results.</p>\\n<p>What&rsquo;s more, with Artificial Intelligence built on, operated by and developed by data, it suffers from a few data-related drawbacks too. AI supplied with incorrect or incomplete data will produce incorrect or incomplete results; in turn resulting in products and processes could hinder engineers, rather than help. Don&rsquo;t forget, data is stored and powered by data centres that consume large amounts of electricity too, so by utilising AI you could in fact risk negatively impacting your company&rsquo;s carbon footprint &ndash; an important consideration in STEM industries.</p>\\n<h2>Artificial Intelligence in Engineering: The (Potentially) Worrying</h2>\\n<p>Adopting new technology, approaches, methods and techniques often brings with it a few worries; after all, change &ndash; no matter how positive it could potentially be &ndash; can be unsettling and difficult to understand.</p>\\n<p>The adoption of Artificial Intelligence in engineering is certainly presenting some potential worries and challenges for those within the industry, and arguably the most common and concerning for many is AI&rsquo;s impact on human-roles and job security, and whether Artificial Intelligence &ndash;

1 with all its capabilities and seemingly-endless applications &ndash; could simply replace a human workforce.</p>\\n<p>However, there is believe that this isn&rsquo;t the case. In fact, even AI developers are keen to dispel these concerns.

Following the annual growth of average salaries in the UK, particularly for manual workers, as there has been a surge in the demand for workers in industries such as manufacturing and construction too.</p>\\n<p>Join us as we delve deeper into 2024&rsquo;s recruitment trends across several of the UK&rsquo;s key industries, and study if, how and when such trends could change throughout the remainder of 2024 and beyond.</p>\\n<h2>Recruitment Trends Within Key UK Industries</h2>\\n<h3>

1Building, Construction and Infrastructure</h3>\\n<p>The building, construction and infrastructure sector has seen a large increase in employment so far in 2024 and is expected to continue rising. The easing of inflation within the UK and other factors is predicted to lead to a rise in private investment, revitalising projects that have been put on hold. This is likely to create a high demand for skilled workers to carry out these construction projects.</p>\\n<p>The growth of the Building, Construction and Infrastructure sector is set to resume in 2025 with a demand for skilled labour workers needed to meet the governments high ambitions for new housing and infrastructure projects. This surge in demand for skilled labour workers will result in the overall increase in valuable employment for skilled construction workers across the UK.</p>\\n<h3>Manufacturing and Technology</h3>\\n<p>The manufacturing and technology sector has seen a large increase in recruitment opportunities <a href=\\"https://www.totaljobs.com/recruiter-advice/hiring-trends-index\\">by 38% in 2024</a>, driving the demand for skilled workers to fill these positions. However, the industry has seen a talent shortage of upskilled workers to fit the positions, with some predicting that over 2.1 million jobs will remain unfilled by 2030.</p>\\n<p>In a digital landscape, technology is constantly evolving, meaning it is prevalent for existing workers within the technology and manufacturing industry to seek training from their employer. Upskilling and reskilling existing workers will bridge the gaps within the industry as skilled workers are constantly being produced. Another trend which will help to bridge the skill gaps in 2024 is engaging with schools and colleges to inspire interest in young people to seek a career within the sector.

Overall, employees seem content with their salaries and with the promise of stable salary increase. However, many power workers have been approached to switch positions within the sector for a higher income.</p>\\n<h3>Mechanical and Electrical</h3>\\n<p>So far in 2024 the engineering industry has seen the largest increase in permanent job demand across all sectors, despite skill shortages. This includes electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, design engineering, software development and system engineers. The UK has seen a bid skills shortage in both the mechanical and electrical sector meaning more job vacancies are becoming available.</p>\\n<p>Organisations within the mechanical and electrical sector must take actions towards bridging the skill gap within the sector and finding skilled workers to fill these positions. Trends identified for solving this skill gap so far have been upskilling existing workers, connecting with younger people and prioritising diversity within the workplace. Acting towards solving the skill shortage within the engineering sector is crucial for ensuring a secure future workforce for the industry.</p>\\n<h3>Aviation</h3>\\n<p>There has been a large talent shortage within the aviation industry due to profound transformations driven by technological advancements, shifting workforce dynamics and evolving industry demands. After the pandemic, many aircraft engineers took to retirement or were recorded to switch to different industries that offered a more stable work environment. The demand for skilled workers to fulfil these gaps within the aviation industry continues in 2024 with the need for licensed aircraft engineers, pilots, cabin crew and operations staff.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;Airlines within the aviation industry must act against the skill gaps within the industry to protect the future workforce. Actions may include upskilling existing workers, offering apprenticeship programmes and connecting with schools and colleges to inspire the younger generation.</p>"},"cta_link":{"en":""},"featured":{"en":""},"cta_title":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"external_campaign":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Recruitment trends have fluctuated in recent years, and in 2024 the pattern has remained largely the same.

And that&rsquo;s fine. But finding the job that is ideally suited to what you&rsquo;re looking for will likely not be a quick and easy process &ndash; it may take a fair amount of searching and time to find roles that you want to apply for, sifting through the variety of job listings and advertisements you&rsquo;ll find.</li>\\n<li><strong>

1Prepare for a rollercoaster ride:</strong> A job search can be frustrating. Not only is it a potentially time-consuming process, but it is also one that can create a seemingly endless list of hurdles to clear too. Expect to find jobs that, after further investigation, aren&rsquo;t quite as initially advertised; be prepared to find that your &lsquo;perfect role&rsquo; isn&rsquo;t in a location that suits you or doesn&rsquo;t offer pay and benefits that you deem fair, and to face strong competition in a very competitive market.</li>\\n<li><strong>Expect an employer-driven environment</strong>: Whilst you&rsquo;re busy looking for your perfect role, remember that potential employers are out there looking for the perfect candidate too. So, job listings and processes may seem overly specific, demanding or even critical, as employers look to narrow and streamline their own search &ndash; this can be a little disheartening if you don&rsquo;t know to expect it.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p><strong><em>Carbon60&rsquo;s Job Search Advice</em></strong>: Don&rsquo;t let potential hurdles such as these put you off &ndash; the right job, at the right time, offering all the right opportunities, pay and benefits, is out there for you! Yes, it may take some time to search for and find the perfect role, but it will be time well spent. It is better to be patient and thorough, than to rush into something.</p>\\n<p>And don&rsquo;t be disheartened by employer&rsquo;s approaches in the market &ndash; use it to your advantage to focus your search and prepare yourself to showcase what you could bring to a role when you apply for any.</p>\\n<h2>What to expect during a job application</h2>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>No two application processes are the same</strong>:&nbsp;Long gone are the days of popping into a business and handing over your CV to Reception and asking to be considered for any roles that may be available. Today most job applications are through websites or online portals. Unfortunately, whilst online job applications are usually simple and offer the convenience of allowing you apply from practically anywhere, there isn&rsquo;t a &lsquo;one size fits all&rsquo; approach, and the systems and software used by one employer will likely differ to that of the next. So, expect to see, use and experience several different formats when applying for different roles.</li>\\n<li><strong>You&rsquo;ll likely need more than just your CV</strong>:&nbsp;The job market is extremely competitive, with the number of people looking for and applying for certain roles often hugely outweighing the number of roles available. As such, to help them decide who would be most suited to their available jobs, and the best fit for their company, employers will usually want and need to receive much more than a CV from applicants &ndash; additional, supporting documents and information they may require could include a cover letter, a portfolio of relevant work, reasons for applying for the role and what you value feel you could bring, and much more.</li>\\n<li><strong>You may not always get a response</strong>: As mentioned, employers will be looking for the ideal candidate for the role they have available. And as it is very likely they will receive a vast number of applications; they must be selective in their approach when deciding who to take to the next step. This can take considerable, valuable time &ndash; time that they may not be able to afford to use on replying to every single applicant. As such, unsuccessful applicants may not hear back regarding their application.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p><em><strong>Carbon60&rsquo;s Job Application Advice</strong></em>: It is important to ensure you&rsquo;re as prepared as possible for what applying for a job entails. So, before you start looking to submit any applications, make sure your CV is up to date, create a generic, easily to edit and adapt covering letter, and research the companies that you&rsquo;re potentially going to apply to, to gauge an idea of their expectations, culture and their processes.</p>\\n<p>Be prepared to change your CV and covering letter in accordance with what may be required and asked for during the application process, and to promote yourself and your skills most effectively.</p>\\n<p>And don&rsquo;

1t be disappointed or aggrieved if you don&rsquo;t hear back regarding any application &ndash; it&rsquo;s not your fault. And don&rsquo;t be afraid to contact anywhere you&rsquo;ve applied to, asking for an update or feedback.</p>\\n<h2>What to expect from a job hiring process</h2>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Initial Contact:</strong>&nbsp;Given that <a href=\\"https://standout-cv.com/pages/job-search-statistics-uk#job-interview-stats\\">&ldquo;The average time it takes from applying for a job to &lsquo;landing it&rsquo; takes 28 days&rdquo;</a>, you may find &ndash; despite how long the rest of the finding and applying for a job process can take &ndash; that the hiring phase may actually develop and progress quite quickly. Having narrowed down their search for candidates to those they wish to proceed with, employers will likely want to contact chosen applicants and arrange interviews and next steps quickly. So, if you&rsquo;re a shortlisted applicant, expect a phone call!</li>\\n<li><strong>Interview</strong>: If you&rsquo;re contacted as a shortlisted applicant for a role, it is likely that this contact will be made to arrange a first interview. Again, there may be a quick turn around between initial contact and the interview stage. In some cases, you could be asked to attend multiple interviews, and complete tasks that will showcase your ability to be a success in the role. Post-pandemic, many employers have adopted remote, online-hosted interviews, though in-person interviews are still preferred by many. Either way, the experience will be very similar, and it is your chance to present yourself and your skills and make an impression.</li>\\n<li><strong>Background Checks &amp; References</strong>: During the hiring process, the company you&rsquo;ve applied to will likely reach out to applicants&rsquo; provided references and conduct background checks, to ensure that any potential hire is the right fit, professionally and culturally, have any required qualifications for the role, and have the right to work. This is very common, and completely normal &ndash; so don&rsquo;t panic!</li>\\n<li><strong>Job Offer</strong>: If you find the right role, get your application right and do a great job during the interview stage, you&rsquo;ll hopefully move on to the final and most exciting part of it all &ndash; being offered the job! In most instances, job offers will be made via phone or email, with a follow-up afterwards to discu

1ss further details, such as salary, start date and more about the role and company.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p><em><strong>Carbon60&rsquo;s Job Hiring Process Advice</strong></em>: Even before any initial contact between you and any company you&rsquo;ve applied for a role at, it pays to be interview ready &ndash; you never know when you&rsquo;ll be reached out to and asked to attend an interview! Of course, all interviews are different, but to help you prepare as best as possible for what could be to come, be sure to <a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/how-to-succeed-at-a-job-interview\\">read through our handy guide</a>.</p>\\n<p>Make sure your reference contacts are up-to-date on your CV at initial application too, just in case the company does wish to get in touch with them to carry out their checks and find out more about you, and ensure that anyone you list as a reference will speak will of you, your skills and your employability.</p>\\n<p>And, if you do receive a job offer, don&rsquo;t be afraid to give your potential new employer a counteroffer or negotiate the salary or any other aspects of the offer to ensure the role suits you, as well as them, before you accept or reject.</p>"},"featured":{"en":true},"author_image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/4ozvrfjmzx9nljtyws7bwqlumjrz"},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Finding yourself a new job can be a daunting task, one that could be made tricky if you\u2019re not fully prepared for what to expect.

However, with the ever-increasing demand for jobs within the sector, due to ongoing projects supporting sustainable, renewable energy, the female presence within the industry is progressing. With women now making up 39% of the global workforce in the energy sector the imbalance is being addressed; however, only 16% of that covers the traditional energy sector.</p>\\n<h2>How can gender diversity benefit your organisation</h2>\\n<p>Focusing on gender diversity can provide your organisation several benefits ranging from attracting the best talent, to financial outperformance. Diversifying your workforce will ensure you have the highest calibre of talent strengthening your teams. Furthermore, this will enhance the level of innovation and decision making within the organisation, meaning that you can gather more comprehensive analysis of complex issues and the development of innovative solutions.</p>\\n<p>Promoting gender diversity for your organisation within the energy sector can improve company reputation too, as companies who actively promote this balance are more likely to impress stakeholders with their forward thinking. This includes customers, investors and the public. Additionally, diversifying your workforce will promote financial outperformance as gender diversity correlates to higher market value as it is widely accepted and believed to be of high importance.</p>\\n<h2>Strategies to balance the gender gap within the Energy Sector</h2>\\n<p>So, how can companies help make a difference to fixing the imbalance between men and women within the energy sector? Below we look at a variety of ways your business can ensure a more inclusive future for your workforce.</p>\\n<h3>Educational Outreach</h3>\\n<p>Addressing the gender gap in the energy sector begins with inspiring as many people &ndash; male and female &ndash; to want to pursue a career within the industry as possible.</p>\\n<p>By collaborating with educational institutions, you can expand your outreach to careers fairs, mentoring, educational partnerships and apprenticeship programmes to inspire the next generation of industry leaders. Additionally, you will help to raise awareness of the opportunities available to both women and men within the industry.</p>\\n<p>It is imperative to inspire the younger generation. Connecting your business with schools, colleges and universities, and encouraging your female employees and leaders to mentor students, will prove vital for fostering a supportive environment for women interested in STEM roles and broaden opportunities for different talent pools.</p>\\n<h3>Equal Pay</h3>\\n<p>Despite an equal skillset ithas been found that women&rsquo;s wages within the energy sector are almost 20% lower than male wages. This disadvantage for women causes a gap within the industry, as it makes roles in the industry less appealing to females &ndash; making it more difficult to recruit female talent.</p>\\n<p>Achieving pay equity and providing equal advancement opportunities for both women and men is essential for creating a diverse workforce and closing the gap within the energy sector. Organisations should carry out regular pay equity audits in order to identify any pay disparities and abolish inequality.</p>\\n<p>Women should be paid based upon their skillset and efforts within the industry, therefore a transparent promotion and advancement criteria should be established, as well as adequate training opportunities provided, to help women excel within their career and be open to equal advancement opportunities based upon their efforts.</p>\\n<h3>Flexible Arrangements</h3>\\n<p><a>Diversifying talent acquisition within the energy sector is vital to the success&nbsp;</a>of the industry, therefore it is important to allow for flexible arrangements for women to cater for specific needs. This includes comprehensive maternity leave policies, childcare support and flexible working arrangements.</p>\\n<p>Support for women from their organisation is essential for ensuring a positive workforce. Women are more likely to consider the flexible working options offered by an organisation and hold it in high regard when deciding their career path. This means women are less likely to seek a career with an organisation who does not support the flexibility needed to cater to their unique challenges, creating a gap in the diversity of the workforce within the energy sector. &nbsp;</p>\\n<h3>Diversity and Inclusion Policies</h3>\\n<p>Diversity and inclusion policies are a fundamental step, for any organisation, towards making the work place a safe and professional environment for all workers to thrive in their careers. Therefore, it is essential that diversity and inclusion is considered when taking on employees.</p>\\n<p>Organisations should set up appropriate guidelines which support equal opportunities for all workers to progress based on their standard of work and regardless of their gender. Furthermore, advanced mechanisms for reporting discrimination and harassment should be set up within the workplace to strive for a safe and inclusive environment for all employees.</p>\\n<h2>In summary&hellip;</h2>\\n<p>There are many actions in which an \x3c!-- [if !supportAnnotations]--\x3eorganisation can take in an effort to address the gender gap within the energy sector,&nbsp;<a>including </a>educational outreach, providing equal pay, conducting flexible arrangements for employees, and implementing diversity and inclusion policies.&nbsp; Integrating these practices and policies within an&nbsp;organisation will provide you with several benefits ranging from attracting the best talent, to financial outperformance.</p>\\n<p>Furthermore, bridging the gender gap within an&nbsp;organisation will help to support the demand for jobs within the energy sector and fill these roles with the highest calibre of talent regardless of their gender. In turn, this will ensure that valued time and attention can be directed towards upcoming renewable energy projects and the ongoing race against global warming.</p>"},"featured":{"en":false},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"The energy sector has one of the largest gender gaps, with the pay rate for women being 15.4% lower than for men withholding the same skillset.

Their people are the driving force behind their ability to deliver solutions and solve complex customer challenges. And all times, they are looking to the future.</p>\\n<p>Apprenticeship programmes are a key part of ERIKS people strategy and core to discovering the next generation of engineering talent, help bridge the skills gap in STEM related roles, and provide meaningful, well-paid careers. &nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Challenge:</h2>\\n<p>Specifically, the 2024 apprenticeship programme would provide job opportunities in a variety of locations around the UK, vital experience in a skills short sector, and a chance to gain a Level 3 Engineering Fitter qualification. Additionally, Level 3 and 4 Sales &amp; Service apprenticeships were available in ERIKS&rsquo; busy service centres.</p>\\n<p>Having previously managed recruitment of apprentices in-house, ERIKS decided to outsource the 2024 intake. Carbon60 was selected to deliver the apprentice recruitment project based on its proven and trusted reputation to deliver solutions in engineering recruitment.</p>\\n<h2>Solution:</h2>\\n<p>Carbon60 built a campaign team that consisted of talent marketing expertise and recruitment specialists. Led by our campaign manager, using project management methodologies, we discussed, understood and refined the requirements. We further identified the technical, behavioural and people skills of the talent required to complement and enhance our customer&rsquo;s existing engineering and sales &amp; service teams. Based on our &lsquo;Motivate, Attract and Select&rsquo; model, we designed an end-to-end solution that would not only generate a large number of applications, but do so from a diverse array of sources &ndash; from promising school or college leavers beginning their career, to those looking to take a new or next step in their career journey.</p>\\n<p>As with all such campaigns, it started with a bespoke talent attraction marketing plan, which included targeting defined groups, regions and channels via social media campaigns designed to raise our customer&rsquo;s brand awareness and attract relevant talent to exciting work. Our recruiters were also tasked with sourcing through search and referral using existing networks and databases.</p>\\n<p>We created a bespoke landing page on our website which allowed us to track application source and DE&amp;I data. This was our online brochure to the world, promoting ERIKS as a fantastic place to work, with bespoke messaging, promoting the apprenticeship programme and its application requirements. Additionally, we created printed and digital versions of an apprenticeship pack, interview handbook and guides to help applicants prepare CVs and cover letters. Each element was created to encourage individuals to apply and advise them on how to make a successful application.</p>\\n<p>Our campaign manager oversaw our operation. This included: receiving, sorting and matching all candidate applications, &nbsp;based on their suitability and right to work; candidate communication, support and guidance through each stage of assessment; shortlisting and coordinating final interviews for both ERIKS and candidates.</p>\\n<p>We worked closely with all customer stakeholders throughout, reporting on progress at an individual, team and contract level, and directly with ERIKS&rsquo; teams, providing them with transparency and control throughout, managed the candidate application and assessment journey.</p>\\n<h2>Outcome:</h2>\\n<p>Our talent marketing and recruitment activities exceeded our own expectations and generated an initial 2550 applications for just five apprentice vacancies. Through CV sifting, applicant screening and qualification calls, we identified 91 individuals we were happy to longlist and progress to competency assessment. Following a controlled interview process, 58 applicants were chosen to move to customer interview stages; with 18 of them being progressed to ERIKS&rsquo; onsite insight day, for final assessment in the working environment. Finally, having narrowed down the talent pool to just a few, ERIKS made offers of apprenticeship placements to 21 individuals across 15 different geographical locations.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>We successfully delivered all five new apprentices into ERIKS within the 3-month project plan, and such was the high-quality of the applicants, our customer now has a pre-qualified talent pipeline of individuals for future opportunities.</p>\\n<h3>Testimonials</h3>\\n<p><em>&ldquo;The guys at Carbon60, and everything the created, did and provided, didn&rsquo;t let us down.

Here we have put together a list of 11 easy to follow hints and tips to help you make the perfect first impression.</p>\\n<h2>1. First things first: Get the basics right</h2>\\n<p>When making a start on your CV, try not to overthink or overcomplicate the process. Begin with the beautiful basics; so that includes adding important information such as your name and contact details, so that they\'re easily accessible when someone\'s trying to contact you.</p>\\n<p>Include your first and last name, job title or profession if you&rsquo;re currently employed, email address, phone number (that you can be reached on easily), and your town &amp; country of residence. There\'s no need to include your full address, or a title that says \\"CV\\", \\"Curriculum Vitae\\" or \\"resume\\".</p>\\n<h2>2. Make it personal</h2>\\n<p>Add a short personal statement or a covering letter (sometimes these are requested separately as part of an application process) that explains why you\'re interested in the job, and what aspects of your personality and skillset you think would fit with the employer\'s culture.</p>\\n<p>It is so important to research the company you&rsquo;re applying to, and tailoring your CV to each application you send. There isn&rsquo;t a &lsquo;one size fits all&rsquo; approach &ndash; recruiters will see right through it.</p>\\n<p>Pick out requirements from the job advert that you\'re confident you can match and tailor your personal statement to compliment them. Recruiters and employers will appreciate the extra effort.</p>\\n<h2>3. Employment history</h2>\\n<p>Include details of current and previous employment, with the most recent at the top. Include the company name, your job title, the dates you were there, and a simple description of your responsibilities.</p>\\n<p>We suggest not going into too much detail here; save some insight back to discuss in more length during your interview, when you can really delve into your experience and what you can offer. But of course do make sure you mention things that are as relevant as possible to the job you\'re applying for.</p>\\n<h2>4. Fill those gaps</h2>\\n<p>If there are gaps in your employment history, don\'t hide them. You\'re better off including them and explaining them, rather than hiding them and having to lie on your CV. Try to think of things you did during that time, other than job-hunting. Did you learn a new skill or gain a qualification? Or perhaps you spent some time travelling, gaining new experiences or volunteering? I</p>\\n<p>t is likely that you weren&rsquo;t just lazing around during your time of unemployment, so don&rsquo;t let anyone assume that you were!</p>\\n<h2>5. Skills and Qualifications</h2>\\n<p>Write a skills section that is relevant to the role you\'re applying for. Remember that it may be worth making alterations to your CV for each application you send, to ensure that it perfectly matches the job description and the culture of the place you&rsquo;re applying at. Also, search the job title you\'re applying for online to see what skills are desirable, and if you\'ve got any of those, add them in.</p>\\n<p>When it comes to your qualifications, what you include depends on what level you\'ve reached. If you\'ve got a bachelor\'s degree, a masters and a PhD, then you probably don\'t need to include your GCSE results. But if you\'ve got A Levels or an apprenticeship, then including your GCSEs might still be relevant as supporting qualifications. It\'s a judgement call and if in doubt, more is more in these circumstances.</p>\\n<h2>6. Tell the truth and back it up</h2>\\n<p>This is pretty simple: don&rsquo;t lie on your CV. Even if you think you can get away with it, you don&rsquo;t want to take the chance. When you&rsquo;re asked about your CV in the interview and you&rsquo;re either trying to avoid certain points or, much worse, double down on a few fibs you&rsquo;ve told, the interviewer will see right through it.</p>\\n<p>And even if you don&rsquo;t get caught out, get through the interview and get the job, it&rsquo;s worth remembering that you&rsquo;ll likely trip up once you start your new role, which won&rsquo;t be a good look.</p>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve lied about a previous employer or gap in employment and your new boss finds out while you&rsquo;re still in your probationary period, the likelihood is you&rsquo;ll be out of the door.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s all very well saying you increased sales in your last role, provided great customer service, or carried out a task successfully, but numbers will help back up your claims. You increased sales by 70%. You had 92% customer satisfaction. You carried out this task in one week rather than two. Back. It. Up.</p>\\n<h2>7. Keep it short(ish)</h2>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s best to keep your CV to two pages or under, but it&rsquo;s important not to just squeeze stuff in. If you&rsquo;ve got so many relevant skills, qualifications and previous jobs that you can&rsquo;

1t fit them all in, then go to three pages. On the other hand, overloading your CV with information can dilute the details and points you really want to get across. It&rsquo;s a tricky balancing act.</p>\\n<p>Relevant is the most important word here &ndash; be brutal and only keep things in that the employer will actually care about.</p>\\n<h2>8. Check, check and check again</h2>\\n<p>Employers and recruiters get so many CVs that any with errors will be likely be assigned to the &lsquo;no pile&rsquo; immediately, simply because it shows a lack of care and attention.</p>\\n<p>If you can&rsquo;t be bothered to spell-check your CV (even when the computer does it for you), then why should a recruiter be bothered to consider your application? It doesn&rsquo;t show a level of care and attention either, and these are vital traits for any employee.</p>\\n<p>Make sure you sense-check, too. Does your CV flow well and make sense? And, if you can, get someone else to check it, so that you can get an outside perspective.</p>\\n<h2>9. Make it look good!</h2>\\n<p>With so many CVs to read, employers and recruiters will want something that displays its information in an attractive, easy-to-read format.</p>\\n<p>So use a simple font, and include paragraphs, short sentences and bullet points, with plenty of white space around each text element to make it easy to read. Don&rsquo;t go OTT, though.</p>\\n<p>Microsoft Word gives you all sorts of options from WordArt and borders, to colourful text and ClipArt, but you want to keep it simple. Having one simple colour scheme throughout is fine, but no bright or clashing colours. Images aren&rsquo;t necessary and just take up space.</p>\\n<h2>10. Keywords are key</h2>\\n<p>Including the job titles you&rsquo;re interested in and buzzwords related to them makes your CV pop up when those words are searched for on search engines and job boards. If you&rsquo;re not sure what to include, search your job title on Google and see what related terms come up.</p>\\n<p>This might seem like a lot of things to think about, especially if you&rsquo;re changing your CV for each job you&rsquo;re applying for, but if you&rsquo;re serious about getting the perfect job for you, it&rsquo;ll be worth it. Plus, once you&rsquo;ve got a perfect format in terms of look and layout, you can just change the details when necessary and save the new version.</p>\\n<h2>11. Keep it up to date</h2>\\n<p>Every time you leave a job, achieve a new qualification or gain a skill, get it on your CV as soon as possible that when it comes to applying for jobs in the future, you\'re all set with the best possible version of your CV.</p>\\n<p><strong>If you&rsquo;re looking for more help and advice about applying for jobs, you can contact us <a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/career-advice\\">here</a>.</strong></p>"},"cta_link":{"en":""},"featured":{"en":true},"cta_title":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/4to0xvfp44ynffsjsz7zss23d936"},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"external_campaign":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Learn how to write a solid CV and nab that dream job..."},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"featured_on_navigation":{"en":""},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"how-to-write-a-solid-cv","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:07.197Z","updated_at":"2025-12-08T10:46:13.607Z"},{"id":"6847353d-3784-44fd-a518-1ee3f6267193","tag":{"en":["Candidate","Career Advice"]},"date":{"en":"2024-07-04"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/nq7z122yd7ifs56g3kbnap28nyli"},"title":{"en":"How to Improve Time Management: 7 Top Tips"},"author":{"en":"Ian Davies"},"content":{"en":"<p>Life doesn&rsquo;t get any less challenging, does it? For many, finding the balance between work, family, and everything else gets tricker, with so much to do and seemingly so little time to do it.</p>\\n<p>Finding that balance and making the most of your time is more of a skill than you may realise, however with the right approach to time management it is possible to find a way to do what you need &ndash; and, importantly, want &ndash; to do, whilst remaining relaxed, focused and able to thrive.</p>\\n<p>To help you on your way, here are a few easy-to-follow tips for managing your time better and more effectively.</p>\\n<h2>1. Prioritise Your Time</h2>\\n<p>With lots to do, and so little time to do it, it is vital you prioritise your time in accordance with what you need to get done and when by.</p>\\n<p>A great way to do this is to utilise the &lsquo;ABC Method&rsquo;, to prioritise your tasks and time in order of importance and what matters to you most on a particular day.</p>\\n<p>The &lsquo;A&rsquo; tasks are your most important, the ones that are &lsquo;must-do&rsquo; and should be focused on first; &lsquo;B&rsquo; tasks are secondary tasks, slightly less important and should only be turned to once &lsquo;A&rsquo; tasks are taken care of; and &lsquo;C&rsquo; tasks are those that are &lsquo;nice to do&rsquo; but can wait to be completed if time is better used elsewhere.</p>\\n<p>Seems simple, doesn&rsquo;t it? Sometimes a simple approach is best!</p>\\n<h2>2. Be on Time!</h2>\\n<p>Again, this may seem simple and obvious, but you can&rsquo;t expect to make the most of your time if you don&rsquo;t afford yourself all the time you have available to you.</p>\\n<p>Being on time, or early, if possible, to whatever you need to do, or wherever you need to be, puts you on the front foot from the off. This will not only give you more time to complete your tasks, but also help you feel more relaxed. What&rsquo;s more, it&rsquo;ll show those around you that you care and are reliable too.</p>\\n<h2>3. Make Plans and Follow Them</h2>\\n<p>Planning each and every day, where possible, and following the plans you make is one of the easiest &ndash; yet most powerful &ndash; time management tips you can follow.</p>\\n<p>Having structure to your day, and the tasks and goals you&rsquo;ve assigned yourself, allows you to not only control your schedule, but keep yourself on track too. Perhaps you&rsquo;ll find that you&rsquo;re better at doing certain things in the morning; so, it makes sense to try and fit them in before lunch. And then your afternoon is free to do other things on your list. Whatever works for you &ndash; it may take some trial and error.</p>\\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve found your way to make plans that suit, always try your best to follow them. It&rsquo;ll soon become natural, helping you to manage your time overall in the process.</p>\\n<h2>4.Utilise Time Management Tools</h2>\\n<p>Long gone are the days of having to plan our time in a diary or notebook &ndash; though there is still plenty to be said about the benefits of writing things down!</p>\\n<p>With us all living in a digitally-dominated age, time management and planning has been made easy thanks to the variety of time management and productivity tools &nd

1ash; from outlook calendars to handy mobile apps.</p>\\n<p>We recommend utilising task and time management tools to keep track of what needs doing and when, and to centralise the elements you need to complete your tasks effectively and efficiently. If and when possible, look to take advantage of automation tools too &ndash; if you can allow software to take care of certain tasks, you&rsquo;ll have a few less things to worry about and more time to focus on yourself and what&rsquo;s most important.</p>\\n<h2>5. Say &lsquo;No&rsquo; Sometimes!</h2>\\n<p>Naturally we don&rsquo;t like to disappoint people or feel like we&rsquo;re letting them down. As a result, we often feel like we should &ndash; or even must &ndash; say yes to anything and everything we&rsquo;re asked to do. But in the interest of managing your time most effectively, we&rsquo;re sorry but that simply isn&rsquo;t an option!</p>\\n<p>Sometimes you simply have to say &lsquo;no&rsquo;. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing so. It can be tricky at first, but mastering the art of politely saying no or turning something down allows you to take control of what you do and control how you use your time, focusing on what you know you need or want to do, not what others want you to.</p>\\n<h2>6. Avoid Multitasking</h2>\\n<p>Multitasking. It has long been discussed as a vital skill that everyone should look to master; the thought behind it being that if you can manage multiple tasks at once, you&rsquo;ll complete multiple tasks all at once.</p>\\n<p>Sadly, it&rsquo;s not that simple. Managing time effectively and multitasking don&rsquo;t actually go hand-in-hand too well. By definition, multitasking means that you&rsquo;re giving your attention to a number of things, and not just focusing on one task at a time and giving it the attention it deserves. This can of course lead to mistakes; mistakes that may require more time to correct.</p>\\n<p>Giving one task your full attention at a time is often a much better approach; not only in the interest of time management, but to also complete tasks on time, and to the best of your ability.</p>\\n<h2>7. Be Kind to Yourself and Take a Break</h2>\\n<p>Think working flat out is the best way to get things done and make the most of your time? Think again.</p>\\n<p>We all like to think that we are capable of anything, but burnout is a real thing and can have a big impact on you, how you manage your time and, most importantly, your mental and physical health.</p>\\n<p>An exhausted person isn&rsquo;t a productive person, and it important to give yourself a break. This could be as simple as getting away from your working environment for a little while and taking a short walk for some fresh air; or, even better, treating yourself to some time away if possible. It is a much better use of your time than burning yourself out.</p>\\n<hr>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">If you want to learn more tips and tricks on how to love what you do and excel in your career, check out our career advice blogs.

Even regular, day-to-day life can present challenges for ex-forces personnel, as they try to settle back into a less formulaic, regimented way of living.</p>\\n<p>For many, one of the biggest concerns about leaving the Army, Royal Air Force, Royal Navy or other forces is how they will be able to make the <a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/transitioning-from-army-to-civilian-job\\">transition from military service into a civilian job</a>.</p>\\n<p>Thankfully, with companies driving forward the power of inclusivity and diversity and realising the skills and potential of those who&rsquo;ve left the armed forces, forging a new career journey is now much less daunting &ndash; especially in industries such as Engineering, in which the knowledge and experience gained during service could prove invaluable.</p>\\n<p>In fact, many ex-forces personnel may be perfect for a career in engineering. Read on to find out why.</p>\\n<h2>Transferrable Skills</h2>\\n<p>There are a variety of military service-gained skills that are ready made to help fill any potential skills gaps across engineering; naturally this makes ex-forces personnel ideal candidates for a variety of engineering roles.</p>\\n<p>Careers in the military go way deeper than the front line. Operations require everything from logistics to telecommunications, infrastru

1cture support and rebuilding to mechanical support for aircraft, vehicles, weapons and systems, all of which require dedication and a broad spectrum of skills that are applied, adapted and developed throughout an individual&rsquo;s time in service.</p>\\n<p>What&rsquo;s more, these skills are often honed in very complex, testing and stressful situations and environments. So, you can add &lsquo;excellent under pressure&rsquo; to the list of transferrable skills too!</p>\\n<h2>A Forward-Thinking, Problem-Solving Attitude</h2>\\n<p>A problem-solving mentality isn&rsquo;t just a &lsquo;nice to have&rsquo; in the armed forces; it is a vital trait for all personnel to have, in the face of the &ndash; known, and unknown &ndash; challenges that are presented to them every day during service.</p>\\n<p>Whilst we hope most people won&rsquo;t be faced with possible &lsquo;life or death&rsquo; situations in the civilian world, being forward-thinking and having experience of challenging and solving problems &ndash; particularly under pressure &ndash; gives ex-forces personnel an edge when being considered for a new role or career.</p>\\n<p>An ability to overcome technical obstacles, manage resources effectively and efficiently, and quickly adapt to new situations and settings &ndash; traits typical of those who&rsquo;ve served in the military &ndash; are ideally suited to engineering roles, and are exactly the type of experiences recruiters and employers will look for.</p>\\n<h2>Teamwork and Leadership</h2>\\n<p>By employing ex-forces personnel, companies across engineering can benefit from the teamwork and leadership skills they will have learned and developed during their time in service, helping to shape the way that their teams operate and are led &ndash; immediately and into the future.</p>\\n<p>Veterans have excellent leadership skills, and a natural ability to &lsquo;take the reigns&rsquo; in high pressure situations as part of a team working towards a common goal. And, if and when required, they are ready-made leaders &ndash; with an understanding of what great leadership is and how to make a team, project or situation a successful one.</p>\\n<h2>Ready for the Future</h2>\\n<p>In an increasingly digitally driven landscapes, many roles in the military expose their personnel to a variety of equipment, systems and techniques that are yet to have been applied to civilian, &lsquo;real world&rsquo; applications, putting them at the forefront of learning about &ndash; and being trained to work with &ndash; the latest technologies.</p>\\n<p>This means that, when such technologies are filtered down into engineering and used by companies across the industry, there are no better people to be able to work in environments that are increasingly influenced by new, potentially disruptive tech than those who may already have experience of it or similar &ndash; ex-forces personnel, for example!</p>\\n<h3>Expert Insight from Ian Drysdale, Operations Manager at Carbon60</h3>\\n<p>Carbon60 have been avid supporters, sponsors, and partners of the military for many years, and are proud to help talented, ex-forces personnel craft new career paths upon their transition back into civilian life.</p>\\n<p>Ian Drysdale, Operations Manager at Carbon60 and a veteran with over 13 years of serving in the Royal Navy, has valuable experience of what to expect and do when looking to forget a new, post-service career, so we sat down with him to gain some insights and advice for anyone looking to kickstart life after the military. Here&rsquo;s what he had to say:</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;<em>A big thing for many leaving the forces is that they don&rsquo;t know what to do. So, it is a good idea to try and build a clear picture of what career and roles your skills may apply to and, most importantly, what you would feel happy doing and can enjoy and develop in. </em></p>\\n<p><em>Thankfully, companies across industries such as engineering are much more receptive to ex-forces personnel these days and have an understanding and awareness of the skills they have. But even so, I think it pays to come to a company like Carbon60 to find a suitable career &ndash; as we have the expertise, experience and connections to help people transition from service to civilian life. </em></p>\\n<p><em>We can help people tailor their CVs to better showcase their skills and experience and highlight how relevant it is to any potential companies and roles available across wider industries; and help point them in the right direction as they begin their journey &ndash; being honest with them about what roles and industries may or may not be a right fit. </em></p>\\n<p><em>Above all, I&rsquo;d say it is vital for any ex-forces personnel to get as much advice as they can, from people in the know. An important part of my job, which is something I love, is being able to share my experiences and knowledge with people, and help them take the right next steps, at the right time &ndash; not just in their career, but during everyday civilian life too.</em>&rdquo;</p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/jow5u7jyighz0g1xiiep41euj5vy"},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Transitioning back into civilian life after serving in the Armed Forces presents many challenges, not least starting a new career.

Taking it easy. Letting &lsquo;tomorrow me&rsquo; worry about it. Whatever you call it, don&rsquo;t worry &ndash; we all do it!</p>\\n<p>It is difficult to keep focus on something minute after minute, hour after hour. It is natural to find yourself distracted by things other than your task at hand, no matter your role and your working environment.</p>\\n<p>However, productivity is of course of high importance in any job. Afterall, you&rsquo;re employed to &ndash; and expected to &ndash; do your work, and always to the best of your ability. And it&rsquo;s not just about getting your work done; a productive person is someone that your colleagues and bosses know they can trust, are reliable and are worth investing in for the future. &nbsp;</p>\\n<p>So, to help you make the most of your time, here are a few easy and effective ways to become &ndash; and continue to be &ndash; more productive at work.</p>\\n<h2>\x3c!--StartFragment --\x3e<span class=\\"cf0\\">1. Keep everything simple for improved work efficiency</span>\x3c!--EndFragment --\x3e</h2>\\n<p>It can be easy to overthink and overcomplicate things, but by keeping it simple you&rsquo;ll likely find you&rsquo;re more relaxed, have more clarity in your thinking and find it easier to focus on &ndash; and tackle &ndash; the task at hand.</p>\\n<p>So, we recommend things such as simplifying your working environment so that it&rsquo;s less cluttered, more task-focused and more comfortable for you (the old saying &lsquo;a clean space creates a clean mind&rsquo;

1 does ring true!); making sure you focus on one task at a time, rather than trying to multi-task, or at least sticking to a set list of priorities; and try to keep yourself away from anything that&rsquo;s a potential distraction (i.e your mobile phone or other technology) as more distractions will likely equate to less productivity.</p>\\n<h2>\x3c!--StartFragment --\x3e<span class=\\"cf0\\">2. Why do I struggle to be productive at work? Use all the help you can get</span>\x3c!--EndFragment --\x3e</h2>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve a heavy workload, there is no shame in getting help to keep your productivity levels up. And we&rsquo;re not just talking about asking for help from your colleagues or boss &ndash; there are so many productivity tools and a variety of useful software available now to help take some of the strain from your shoulders.</p>\\n<p>Utilise task and time management tools to keep track of what needs doing and when; try to centralise the elements you need to complete your tasks effectively and efficiently; and where, possible, look to automate certain aspects of your role, so there are a few less things to worry about &ndash; leaving you more time to focus on producing what&rsquo;s more important.</p>\\n<p>And of course, if and when needed, don&rsquo;t be afraid to reach out to your colleagues &ndash; they may be able to share some of your workload, and help you manage and maintain your productivity. It may be a case of coming together as a team and delegating tasks between you. A problem shared is a problem halved!</p>\\n<h2>\x3c!--StartFragment --\x3e<span class=\\"cf0\\">3. Meetings: Are they needed?</span>\x3c!--EndFragment --\x3e</h2>\\n<p>Meetings, especially ones that may not actually be necessary, can have a big impact on productivity. Not only could they potentially take up a significant portion of the working day, but they can also interrupt people in the &lsquo;flow&rsquo; of their work &ndash; taking them away from a task at hand, which may prove difficult to come back to after being taken away from it.</p>\\n<p>When thinking of setting up a meeting, ask yourself whether the discussion or request could be taken care of via another channel, such as email for example. And encourage your colleagues to take the same approach.</p>\\n<p>If it is considered that a meeting is the best course of action, be sure to make sure that it has a set agenda that people stick to, utilise the time used effectively, and make sure it doesn&rsquo;t run beyond it&rsquo;s allocated time slot.</p>\\n<h2>4. Make a schedule and stick to it (when possible!)</h2>\\n<p>Giving structure to your day, breaking it down into blocks assigned to certain tasks and goals is a great way to take control of your schedule, and to keep yourself on track.</p>\\n<p>Of course, everyone will work differently, so it is important to find a schedule that suits you (and the requirements of your role and company too). Perhaps you&rsquo;ll find that 60 or 90-minute blocks will work best for your tasks and goals; and maybe it would pay for you to schedule your most important work in the morning, when you&rsquo;re feeling fresher and more focused. Whatever works best for your productivity.</p>\\n<p>For this to work, it is important that those around you understand your schedule &ndash; not only will they need to know when is best to approach you, but you&rsquo;ll also have to be able to adjust and adapt accordingly to any un-scheduled requests.</p>\\n<h2>\x3c!--StartFragment --\x3e</h2>\\n<h2 class=\\"pf0\\"><span class=\\"cf0\\">5. Improve work efficiency,&nbsp;take breaks</span></h2>\\n<p>Many of us will be guilty of skipping a lunch break to &lsquo;just finish off that last little task&rsquo; or working into the evening. It may seem like it&rsquo;s the best way of keeping on top of things, but actually &ndash; whilst being hardworking is of course key to any role &ndash; it may be counterproductive to take such an approach.</p>\\n<p>A tired, mentally and physically exhausted person isn&rsquo;t someone who can perform and produce to the very best of their ability. It is important to get your rest to avoid burning out, so take breaks when you can! Get away from your working environment for a little whilst, go for a walk and get some fresh air. It really is good for you.</p>\\n<p>Outside of work it is important to de-stress and relax your mind and body too &ndash; as hard as it can be, try not to think about work too much and just take each day as it comes.</p>\\n<h2>6. Love what you do!</h2>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;re unhappy at work, you won&rsquo;t be as productive at work. It is easy to slip into a trend of putting less effort in, and getting as much out, when you&rsquo;re doing something &ndash; or are somewhere &ndash; that you simply don&rsquo;t enjoy or have a passion for.</p>\\n<p>It is important to be in a role that inspires you, is rewarding, and allows you to be the very best version of yourself. You&rsquo;ll be more productive, more positive, and make the right impression on your colleagues and your boss, and produce work that is of your highest possible standard.</p>\\n<hr>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">If you want to learn more tips and tricks on how to love what you do and excel in your career, check out our career advice blogs.

If your paths cross in the kitchen, lift or stairs, make sure you say hi, talk to them and start creating relationships. It is a great way to break the ice, help you feel more at ease in your new environment, and get to know who you&rsquo;ll be working with, or who to go to for certain requests or information.</p>\\n<p>\x3c!-- [if !supportLists]--\x3e-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \x3c!--[endif]--\x3e<strong>Update your social media</strong>: Updating your details on LinkedIn and connecting with those who will help you be successful within your new job is another good way of getting yourself out there. If you are connecting with a new work colleague, just be sure you have created a relationship first before trying to connect with them otherwise it may look like spam. Also, use the appropriate social media channels (and use them appropriately!) Remember, LinkedIn is a professional social media platform. Facebook is more personal and X (Formerly known as Twitter) is a hybrid of the two.</p>\\n<p>\x3c!-- [if !supportLists]--\x3e-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \x3c!--[endif]--\x3e<strong>Got any questions?

And they&rsquo;re just the headlines. Even the simplest, most seemingly insignificant things we use day-to-day will have been engineered to help make life &ndash; for the most part &ndash; better.</p>\\n<p>Through the centuries and decades, engineering has developed, grown, and improved at a daily, if not hourly, rate. However, as engineering advances, continuing to make breakthroughs across its variety of fields, the industry is still struggling to achieve something that has eluded it throughout history: gender parity.</p>\\n<p>Read on as we investigate the gender gap in engineering, the challenges the industry faces, and the actions being taken to try and create a better, more inclusive future for engineering and women in engineering.</p>\\n<h2>Women in Engineering: The Challenges</h2>\\n<p>In the UK, women continue to be underrepresented across engineering, with females only making up less than 20% of the industry&rsquo;s workforce. <a href=\\"https://www.engineeringuk.com/research-policy/diversity-in-engineering/gender/\\">And that&rsquo;s despite &ndash; according to EngineeringUK &ndash; there being an upward trend in recent years.</a> What&rsquo;s more, in most cases, women are working in positions related to the core, more hands-on roles, rather than

1in core roles themselves.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s a similar story around the world, too. In the USA for example, whilst there has been an overall increase in women in engineering in the past few decades, <a href=\\"https://www.asce.org/publications-and-news/civil-engineering-source/civil-engineering-magazine/article/2022/05/engineering-struggles-to-achieve-gender-parity\\">the American Society of Civil Engineers highlight that only around 14% of engineers in America&rsquo;s workforce are women.</a> And whilst the signs of some growth does raise hopes for the future of females in engineering, the growth is slow.</p>\\n<p>There are a variety of reasons for there being fewer females in engineering than their male counterparts, including a perception that the industry is better suited to &ndash; and geared towards &ndash; men, and an overall lack of diversity and inclusion across the industry too, which is contributing to a lack of female interest.</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.engineeringuk.com/media/318281/chapter2_secondary-education-and-engineering_summary.pdf\\">EngineeringUK&rsquo;s Secondary Education and Engineering briefing</a> mentions that &ldquo;far fewer girls compared to boys taking GCSE subjects such as engineering, computing and design and technology, though girls are more likely than boys to attain the highest grades in STEM subjects.&rdquo;, with males making up an overwhelming majority of entries into further engineering education and apprenticeships too.</p>\\n<p>Therefore, whilst there are diversity and gender parity gaps within the industry already, the biggest challenge &ndash; to pique the interest of, and educate, more females in the future &ndash; is ahead of us, to not only diversify engineering but also meet growing demand for engineers.</p>\\n<h2>Women in Engineering: The Actions</h2>\\n<p>In the face of such challenges, institutions, organisations, and companies around the world are working tirelessly to find ways to make engineering a more inclusive and diverse industry. One that&rsquo;ll not only provide women and other minority groups better opportunities for education and successful engineering careers, but also strengthen the industry further, benefitting from the skills, passion, and drive of more people than ever before.</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.engineeringuk.com/research-policy/provision-outreach/rapid-evidence-reviews/\\">Research carried out by EngineeringUK, and published in December 2023</a>, highlights just a few ways to encourage female engagement and interest in engineering, including:</p>\\n<p>\x3c!-- [if !supportLists]--\x3e&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \x3c!--[endif]--\x3eEngaging girls with engineering and technology activities at a young age</p>\\n<p>\x3c!-- [if !supportLists]--\x3e&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \x3c!--[endif]--\x3eIncluding activities that challenge gender stereotypes around engineering and technology</p>\\n<p>\x3c!-- [if !supportLists]--\x3e&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \x3c!--[endif]--\x3eLearning about the needs, interests, and preferences of girls when designing outreach programmes</p>\\n<p>\x3c!-- [if !supportLists]--\x3e&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \x3c!--[endif]--\x3eUnderstanding the limitations of gender as a binary concept</p>\\n<p>\x3c!-- [if !supportLists]--\x3e&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \x3c!--[endif]--\x3eThe use of role models that are a similar age to help bridge the developmental gap between students and professionals</p>\\n<p>\x3c!-- [if !supportLists]--\x3e&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \x3c!--[endif]--\x3eShowcasing a range of engineering and technology careers</p>\\n<p>Such actions are being driven by organisations and initiatives such as the <a href=\\"https://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/about-us/\\">WISE Campaign</a>, who support companies in engineering to &ldquo;achieve gender parity and benefit from better productivity, innovation and business performance&hellip; and strengthen STEM sectors by championing diversity of thought, background and life experience thereby making STEM inclusive to all.&rdquo;</p>\\n<p>Meanwhile, events and occasions such as <a href=\\"https://www.inwed.org.uk/about/\\">International Women in Engineering Day</a> &ndash; created by the Women&rsquo;s Engineering Society and celebrated every June &ndash; have raised awareness of the importance of in engineering, as well as the opportunities available to women and the engineering companies who could benefit from creating a more diverse workforce.</p>\\n<h2>Women in Engineering: The Opportunities</h2>\\n<p>Highlighting the gender gap in engineering, and the need to make the industry more diverse and inclusive, has encouraged companies across the sector to commit themselves to educating and creating opportunities in engineering for women and minority groups, to not only close the gap, but also build a better future for the industry.</p>\\n<p>In the UK alone, a number of engineering companies and other STEM organisations have become industry leaders as <a href=\\"https://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/ten-steps-signatories-and-endorsements/\\">signatories to the WISE Campaign&rsquo;s &lsquo;Ten Steps&rsquo;</a>, an initiative that commits them to educating females and building a more diverse industry through:</p>\\n<p>\x3c!-- [if !supportLists]--\x3e&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

1And, as mentioned, for successful candidates from outside the UK, British Airways can &ndash; depending on circumstances &ndash; provide sponsorship and/or cover relocation costs, using the government&rsquo;s Skilled Worker Visa scheme.</p>\\n<h2>How British Airways provide support through Skilled Worker visas</h2>\\n<p>The Skilled Worker visas British Airways can provide range from between three and five years, with some fully funded, and others part funded. In some cases, they offer full relocation support including flights, hotel, and cargo costs as well as part-funded support for dependants.</p>\\n<p>The type of sponsorship offer depends on the role a candidate applies for. In the case of the Technician and Licenced Engineer roles, the sponsorship available to successful international candidates differs depending on the position.</p>\\n<h3>Technician roles</h3>\\n<p>For Technician roles, international candidates &ndash; upon successful application &ndash; will typically be offered an initial 3-year sponsorship, during which British Airways will provide training for the candidate to progress from Technician to Licenced Engineer. At this point, further sponsorship can be provided to extend the visa to 5 years. After 5 years, upon lapse of the visa, a period of indefinite leave to remain can be applied for.</p>\\n<p>International candidates who are successfully offered a Technician position are allowed to bring immediate family to the UK with them, but costs for visas and relocation is the responsibility of the candidate.</p>\\n<h3>Licenced Engineer roles</h3>\\n<p>Due to the more senior nature of the role, international Licenced Engineer candidates are typically offered a 5-year sponsorship upon successful application. Again, upon lapse of their 5-year visa, candidates can apply for a period of indefinite leave to remain.</p>\\n<p>For these roles, British Airways provide international candidates assistance with their flights to the UK and their relocation. Additionally, they will initially assist with the costs involved in bringing dependants to the UK too. However, these costs are claimed back through the candidate&rsquo;s wages upon beginning work.</p>\\n<p><a name=\\"_Hlk164764969\\"></a>Please note that to qualify for Licenced Engineer roles, candidates must hold a UK CAA licence.</p>\\n<h2>British Airways is waiting for you&hellip;</h2>\\n<p>No matter where you are in the world, if you have the skills, expertise, and passion to begin or build a technical or engineering career in the aviation industry, British Airways is the perfect place to do so.

What is your current role? And what does that entail? </strong></h3>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">A. So my current role at Carbon60 is Client Relationship Manager, and I primarily focus on building relationships and creating business for our Engineering Division.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">I actually haven&rsquo;t done any direct recruiting per se for a few years now;

1 my job is to is to identify prospective clients and connect them with our teams, with the objective of winning the client&rsquo;s business and providing them with our services and the solutions they need.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Then, in conjunction with the delivery team, I also make sure that we deliver on what we&rsquo;ve promised, overseeing the project from a programme management perspective.</p>\\n<h3 class=\\"MsoNormal\\"><strong>Q. Tell me a little bit about your background and career so far. </strong></h3>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">A. I&rsquo;ve been in recruitment, working in various roles, for about 20 years now, with most of that spent in engineering recruitment.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">When I first joined Carbon60 a few years ago, I was tasked with starting a new division centred on automation and controls, but soon moved into an Operations Management role. I&rsquo;d always leant toward the sales side of the role however, which is a big reason why I am in a more sales-focused position now.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">I actually took on my current role just before the COVID pandemic, so there have been plenty of challenges and changes to navigate along the way, with the recruitment landscape constantly evolving. But it&rsquo;s these challenges that make my job so interesting, varied and rewarding.</p>\\n<h3 class=\\"MsoNormal\\"><strong>Q. What are your thoughts on recruitment at the moment? </strong></h3>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">A. The recruitment industry is starting to settle down a bit now, following a COVID boom of sorts. During the pandemic, demand for talent was high, markets were competitive. Oh, and so were salaries! As companies looked to rebuild workforces, offers were probably 20% higher than the pre-pandemic norm. Counteroffers were up considerably too.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Now though, in line with trends we see across all industries, markets have levelled a little. Cost of living is up, and so is the cost of business too. So, recruiter-client relationships are a bit more &lsquo;normal&rsquo; again now, with a return to a more aggressive approach to finding and hiring talent.</p>\\n<h3 class=\\"MsoNormal\\"><strong>Q. Is there anything in Engineering that particularly excites you right now? Are there any trends to look out for? </strong></h3>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">A. The way technology is influencing engineering right now is very exciting. Tech has always had a bit part to play in the sector of course, but new technologies seem to be infiltrating the space at a pace.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Artificial Intelligence is an obvious one. In my experience, I&rsquo;

1ve always found manufacturing and engineering companies to take an old school approach to the way they do things. But A.I is driving them towards a more automated approach. Workforces are embracing the power of A.I and the benefits of working with it, rather than against it.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">I think it aligns with the demographic of today&rsquo;s workforces; many of the people who fill skill gaps in engineering have recently graduated, and have hands-on experience with the latest tech. What&rsquo;s more, existing workforces are being encouraged to upskill, learn how to use and benefit from such technologies.</p>\\n<h3 class=\\"MsoNormal\\"><strong>Q. What would you say makes a great client-recruiter relationship? </strong></h3>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">A. I think all relationships are built on trust and understanding of what&rsquo;s required and how we&rsquo;re going to achieve what is required.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Before COVID, recruitment was very transactional. Now it is much more solution based. So, recruiters work closely with clients, identify their requirements, and adapt their solutions accordingly. It is for the recruiter to deliver on what they offer, and for the client to trust in them to deliver.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">It really is about collaborating and working together. It benefits both parties, and makes for a more successful project.</p>\\n<h3 class=\\"MsoNormal\\"><strong>Q. What advice would you give to any clients and/or recruiters? Any &lsquo;must do&rsquo;s&rsquo;? </strong></h3>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">A. Be prepared and ready to work harder than anyone else. The market is hard. For everyone. There aren&rsquo;t as many roles out there, not as many clients are recruiting. And it would be easy to make excuses. But those who don&rsquo;t and focus on making the most of any opportunities out there will be successful.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">The key is to continue to harvest and build on existing relationships. They are your foundation. You can take key learnings from those and put them into future relationships and projects, to make yourself stand out in such a competitive space. I firmly believe in the power of repetition and repeating good habits. And hard work, of course! <strong><span style=\\"mso-spacerun: yes;\\">&nbsp;</span></strong></p>\\n<h3 class=\\"MsoNormal\\"><strong>Q. Do you have any tips for anyone starting in recruitment? </strong></h3>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">A. Above all, have realistic expectations. Many companies will sell you the world, talking up earnings of six-figure salaries within a year. The reality is that such things are highly unlikely, especially in the current economic climate.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Be ready to start from the bottom and put the hard yards in to get to the top. Failures will perhaps trip you up along the way, but that&rsquo;s the same for everyone. And there is no shame in that.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">I&rsquo;d suggest breaking your career beginnings into a 3-to-5-year cycle. If you&rsquo;re settled into your career within 3 years, and progressing by 5, you&rsquo;ll likely be in it for a long and prosperous period.</p>\\n<h3 class=\\"MsoNormal\\"><strong>Q. What about for anyone looking to start a career in &ndash; or find a new role in &ndash; engineering? </strong></h3>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">A. Technology is such a big part of engineering, so I think one of the most important things to do is to keep a finger on the pulse when it comes to innovations and trends. We&rsquo;ve already seen how important A.I has become, but in a few years &ndash; or even months &ndash; the next big thing might have come along, changing the game again.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">So, it pays to be really well researched, well versed, and willing to invest time in constantly learning.</p>\\n<h3 class=\\"MsoNormal\\"><strong>Q. Finally, do you have any funny stories/experiences from your career so far that you could share? </strong></h3>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">A. Ah, yes. So, I won&rsquo;t mention any names, but a few years ago myself and a colleague were booked to attend an all-day event in Ireland. Everything was all sorted. Well, so it seemed. When we arrived at the airport to fly-out, it turned out that said nameless colleague had printed out the wrong boarding pass and couldn&rsquo;t get through security.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">So off to Ireland I went. Alone. And then attended the 7-hour-long event. Alone. I met loads of stakeholders, having quite intense conversations all day long, answering questions and promoting our business. Once again, all alone.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Finally, absolutely shattered, I got to the hotel we were booked to stay in, only to find my colleague sitting comfortably at the bar, relaxed, and enjoying their second pint having got a later flight over.</p>\\n<p class=\\"MsoNormal\\">Alright for some!</p>"},"country":{"en":["United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":"5"},"short_description":{"en":"Hear from Matt Roach, Client Relationship Manager at Carbon60, as he offers insight into his career in recruitment, the future of the industry and much more.

Games release&nbsp;dopamine in the brain which is the chemical responsible for the excitement we feel when we chase a reward, something which video games are full of, and is also one of the reasons many people find them addictive.</p>\\n<p>A fun, addictive, stress relieving escapism for many people which employers are starting to utilise in different ways to make more mundane, everyday tasks more exciting.</p>\\n<h3 style=\\"text-align: justify;\\"><span style=\\"font-size: 24px; color: #7c97ab;\\">What is gamification?</span></h3>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">You can&rsquo;t get further from a &lsquo;game&rsquo; than when you&rsquo;re at work, but gamification refers to the use of game theory, mechanics and design in non-game situations and environments.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">By the end of 2015, 40% of the world&rsquo;s top 1000 organisations used gamification as the primary mechanism to transform their business, and it&rsquo;s predicted that the worldwide gamification market will grow from &pound;195 million in 2012 to an incredible &pound;2.2 billion in 2016.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Gamification as a concept is used in various scenarios in different ways. It&rsquo;s already heavily used in fitness (<a href=\\"https://www.myfitnesspal.com/\\">MyFitnessPal</a>), productivity (<a href=\\"https://habitica.com/\\">Habitica</a>), mood/mental health (<a href=\\"https://www.mindbloom.com/\\">Mindbloom</a>) and managing your finances.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Gamification taps into peoples&rsquo; basic intrinsic motivators, the top 5 being:&nbsp;Autonomy &ndash; &ldquo;I control&rdquo;, Mastery &ndash; &ldquo;I improve&rdquo;, Purpose &ndash; &ldquo;I make a difference&rdquo;, Progress &ndash; &ldquo;I achieve&rdquo; and Social interaction &ndash; &ldquo;I connect with others&rdquo;.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">These motivators are common to everyone and research has shown that satisfying them can make an activity more productive and enjoyable.&nbsp;By making tasks feel more like games, it becomes a lot more effortless to encourage people to complete the tasks if they appear to be getting instant gratification or a buzz from them. People will then be rewarded for completing certain tasks which could be in the form of achievement badges, filling a progress bar or even being rewarded a virtual currency. Also, making these rewards visible to other players (i.e. work colleagues) in the form of leaderboards, will encourage others to compete against them in the quest to become the best.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">A range of industries are now utilising the concept of gamification within the work environment for various reasons whether it be improving the motivation of their staff or attracting people to work for them.</p>\\n<h3 style=\\"text-align: justify;\\"><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 24px; color: #7c97ab;\\">In the workplace</span></strong></h3>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Regardless of how much someone enjoys their job, being able to keep everyone engaged fully is a challenging task. Traditionally, KPIs are put in place to show staff what targets in particular they need to achieve on a regular basis, but sometimes these tasks can prove tiresome and repetitive, causing interest to fluctuate and people to become less interested in the job at hand.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Employees are strongly motivated by recognition, rewards and the sense of accomplishment, so taking the essence of games such as fun and competitiveness and applying them to non-game contexts, people are more likely to want to participate, driving positive behaviours and therefore becoming more driven to complete the task or hit the target.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Research by Gallup shows that companies are increasing their interest in gam

1ification because only 31% of employees are engaged at work. The least engaged generation are Millennials with only 28.9% engagement compared to 32.9% for Gen X &amp; Baby Boomers. Considering that Millennials are going to make up 75% of the global workforce by 2025, you can understand why companies are having to adapt.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">The issue with the traditional method of performance management is that your weekly/monthly/yearly targets and objectives can become stale, but using a real-time performance management tool - where you could visually keep track on how you&rsquo;re doing towards target, how you compare to others, how far to your next milestone and perhaps even how you&rsquo;re doing compared to this time last year &ndash; can keep things relevant and interesting.</p>\\n<h3 style=\\"text-align: justify;\\"><span style=\\"font-size: 24px;\\"><strong><span style=\\"color: #7c97ab;\\">In recruitment</span></strong></span></h3>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">From a recruitment perspective, it can be used to measure a candidate&rsquo;s potential suitability and commitment before you&rsquo;ve even looked at their CV.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Unilever have a digital recruitment programme which uses online games to help with candidate selection. To help them narrow down the 250,000 graduate applications they receive every year, they now invite each candidate to play a series of games which are used to determine the candidate&rsquo;s potential and how well they connect with the company&rsquo;s goals. The top performing applicants are then invited for a video interview which is then followed by a face to face.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">PricewaterhouseCoopers in Hungary developed and launched a game called Multipoly which is made up of an online part and a section based on personal participation. The &lsquo;player&rsquo; submits a virtual application, takes part in the virtual interview process which presents them with tasks based on the competencies of the company. PwC then narrow down the applications to the best players and invite them in for a real interview. The outcome was that the candidates who played the game were much more prepared for the live face to face interviews because they had been pre-educated by the game. Time spent on their career page went from an average of 15 minutes to up to one and a half hours.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Using gamification, recruiters can become more efficient. Rather than organising an interview, why not send the candidate a game which can simulate the work environment and test their personality traits? This can then enable recruiters and employers to see upfront how a candidate may react in different scenarios. This can help decide whether someone is the right match for the company/job before they&rsquo;ve even stepped into the office.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Regardless of the skills required for a role, gamification can be tailored to target its content around those attributes. It saves time for the recruiter, but it&rsquo;s also is a good measure of the candidates&rsquo; commitment &ndash; if they can&rsquo;t be bothered to complete the tasks the game requires, chances are they would have dropped out of the process at some point anyway. It&rsquo;s also beneficial to the candidates; they get to build up a picture of what the company&rsquo;s like and figure out if it&rsquo;s the right fit for them.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Gaming is a way of injecting a bit of fun into the recruitment process, encouraging some friendly competiveness between candidates while providing valuable insight and information to recruiters.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Regardless of how gamification is applied - whenever you have a contest that has a winner, you create losers. If gamification isn&rsquo;t done right, it can have the opposite effect and end up demotivating people. In the workplace, the trick is to create more winners more often, and don&rsquo;t just keep it focused on individuals - also reward teams for working together.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\">Businesses need to adapt to changing technology and market conditions which w

1on&rsquo;t work without a motivated team. Some people are concerned that Gamification is just a sugar-coated, game-like facade to make work cute and fun, which normally causes people to dismiss it at face value.

People are keen to know how automation could affect their businesses and/or careers. This has continued to grow as AI enter

1s the mainstream in a range of ways.</p>\\n<p>Studies show that almost 77% of devices today use AI technology in some way, and there will soon be more AI assistants (such as Amazon Alexa) than people on this planet! Meanwhile, the AI market itself is predicted to reach $407 billion by 2027.</p>\\n<p>But behind all of the fascinating statistics are real-life pros and cons of AI. In this blog, we&rsquo;ll hone in on the construction and engineering industries, to see how AI could affect them. These are two areas where AI is already being frequently used, and research by the Midwest Economic Policy Institute (MEPI) estimates that by 2057, robots could replace or displace 2.7 million jobs in construction and engineering.</p>\\n<p>So how could AI affect the<a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/sectors/construction-and-trade-recruitment-solutions\\"> construction</a>&nbsp;and engineering&nbsp;industries? Here are some advantages and disadvantages.<br><br></p>\\n<h2><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 32px; color: #7c97ab;\\"><strong>Advantages of AI</strong></span></strong></h2>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">Greater productivity</span></strong></p>\\n<p>This was the original purpose of automation, and it definitely applies in industries like construction and engineering. Essentially, AI can free up human workers to go where they add the most value. For example, some construction companies are using self

1-driving machinery to do repetitive tasks such as welding or pouring concrete. The human workers can then focus on the construction work itself, making projects run smoother.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Companies are also increasingly relying on off-site factories. This is when components of a building are pieced together off-site by robots, before then moving over to the construction site to be finalised by humans. Examples include walls &ndash; the structure can be assembled by AI, leaving human workers to complete the finer details such as plumbing and electrical systems.</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">Enhanced quality</span></strong></p>\\n<p>The speed and accuracy of machine learning don&rsquo;t just make tasks more efficient &ndash; it makes them better. There are already some great examples of this within engineering when you look at tasks such as design and simulation.&nbsp; AI is often embedded within Computer Aided Design (CAD), making it smarter and eliminating any potential discrepancies. These tools help engineers explore options that otherwise wouldn&rsquo;t be possible &ndash; for example, design and weight-saving options.</p>\\n<p>Similarly, AI is really helpful when engineers are working on public infrastructure projects. They use it to predict things like footfall, meaning decisions are made with evidence behind them rather than a gut feeling. It can even help promising candidates with&nbsp;<a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/how-ai-can-help-you-prepare-for-your-interview\\">interview prep</a>.</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">More accurate budgets and timelines</span></strong></p>\\n<p>Think about how many projects you hear about that run over the deadline, and therefore cost more. This is something AI can help mitigate. For example, Artificial Neural Networks can create predictive models, by looking at historical data and other factors such as project size and the experience of Project Managers. This can then be used to give a much more accurate idea of costs and timings &ndash; meaning happier stakeholders at the end of it all.</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">A safer workplace</span></strong></p>\\n<p>Construction and engineering can both be high-risk industries, so it makes sense to use robots for some of the more dangerous jobs. A good example within construction is the use of drones, which has made reporting and site evaluations much safer. Other areas include using robots to lift heavy equipment or dig for fuels which could be poisonous to humans.</p>\\n<p>Another benefit of using AI is that, unlike humans, robots don&rsquo;t get tired. Therefore, accidents which can happen as a result of human error or fatigue are reduced.</p>\\n<p>The safety benefits of AI go beyond operating machinery as well. There&rsquo;ve been instances of companies using it to track and stop the spread of viruses such as COVID-19, by seeing exactly which colleagues an infected employee has interacted with.</p>\\n<p>Although automation was originally used to increase productivity and replace tiresome tasks, there&rsquo;s no doubt that the workplace can also be made safer through AI.</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">Non-stop ability</span></strong></p>\\n<p>Robots don&rsquo;t require lunch breaks, holidays or sick days. They can be set to work on a repetitive cycle unless programmed otherwise. As long as the machine is maintained and programmed correctly, it can work without stopping. This helps businesses to achieve tight deadlines and ensure a 24/7 production line.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 32px; color: #7c97ab;\\"><strong>Disadvantages of AI</strong></span></strong></h2>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">High costs</span></strong></p>\\n<p>Maintaining a robot can be extremely expensive &ndash; ultimately, they are highly complex machines which require big investments. Just to give you one example, Apple&rsquo;s SIRI software cost the company $200 million to acquire and get off the ground!</p>\\n<p>Not only are robots extremely intricate to set up, but they have huge ongoing costs for repair and maintenance. They have software programmes that need frequent upgrading, so they can meet the needs of the constantly changing environment.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Now, further developments and economies of scale might change things in the future &ndash; but right now, these costs mean that not all organisations can afford to invest in robots.<br><br><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">Unemployment may rise</span></strong></p>\\n<p>One of the biggest fears people have is the potential job losses AI can lead to. While this isn&rsquo;t always the case (as mentioned earlier, it allows humans to go where they can add value), there are still instances where people will be made redundant altogether. In some industries, this has been seen with the axing of customer service agents in favour of chatbots.</p>\\n<p>

1People who work in areas that are most at risk of being replaced will need to receive training. This will help them add to their skillset and have multiple strings to their bow &ndash; allowing them to stay ahead of the machines.</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">Lack of personality</span></strong></p>\\n<p>Robots serve a very functional purpose. Ultimately, they are machines which don&rsquo;t have feelings or the human touch. This can be a problem in any industry, as they can&rsquo;t think outside of the box. For example, a human working on a construction site can be flexible if they come across a particular problem, and come up with a bespoke solution. A robot, on the other hand, will be programmed to do the same thing regardless of the situation. When it comes to creativity, nothing can beat a human mind.</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">Security risks</span></strong></p>\\n<p>As is the case with most technologies, AI software can be vulnerable to outside attacks, such as data manipulation, theft and a whole lot more. The impact can be even worse because AI specifically makes decisions by processing data.&nbsp; If the initial data being fed in has been tampered with &ndash; for example by a hacker &ndash; this could lead to projects being damaged rather than improved.<br><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\"><br><strong>Robots don&rsquo;t get better with experience&hellip;yet&nbsp;</strong></span></p>\\n<p>Unlike humans, AI cannot be improved with experience. Machines may be able to store enormous amounts of data, but the storage isn&rsquo;t as effective as the human brain. Over time, it can be susceptible to wear and tear. It stores a lot of data but the way it can be accessed and used is very different from human intelligence.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>AI is here to stay, and there&rsquo;s no question that it has pros and cons. But while it&rsquo;s still in a developing stage (as opposed to the mass takeover people fear), humans still have the upper hand. The key is knowing what the benefits are so we can make the most of them, and knowing what the risks are so we can avoid them.</p>\\n<p>Are you looking for recruitment support within construction and engineering?<a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/contact-us\\"> Get in touch today.&nbsp;</a></p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>"},"cta_link":{"en":""},"featured":{"en":""},"cta_title":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"external_campaign":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Artificial intelligence is here to stay, but how will it affect construction and engineering?"},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"featured_on_navigation":{"en":""},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"advantages-and-disadvantages-of-artificial-intelligence","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:05.004Z","updated_at":"2025-12-08T09:57:19.385Z"},{"id":"5be9b4a8-9cfa-43ec-bfdf-9518290492ce","tag":{"en":["Recruitment","Sustainability"]},"date":{"en":"2023-11-27"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/ko6uk7rdynd2yvvlj9jwj1i8hzdp"},"title":{"en":"Sustainability credentials and your employer brand"},"author":{"en":"Margita Lauder"},"content":{"en":"<p>The benefits of a strong employer brand are well-known. Statistics show that 96% of companies believe your employer brand can positively or negatively impact revenue. From increasing productivity and staff morale, to improving retention rates and attracting even more great talent, there are huge advantages for businesses to get it right.</p>\\n<p>According to Glassdoor, 75% of active job seekers are likely to apply to a job if the employer actively works on its employer brand. Google, Greggs, HubSpot, John Lewis and Capital One have been cited as some of the top brands to work for. So how can you follow in the footsteps of these star employers?</p>\\n<p>For many organisations, employer brand falls short when it comes to authenticity. The challenge is creating an employer brand that&rsquo;s a true reflection of your company values and that supports your objectives. Businesses doing this best have a joined-up approach that resonates throughout everything they do. They don&rsquo;t only say they&rsquo;re great places to work &ndash; they demonstrate it daily. And they use an authentic employer brand to propel their success.</p>\\n<h2>Sustainability - The New Agenda</h2>\\n<p>So, what exactly are candidates looking for in an employer? While things like salary and holiday allowances have traditionally been important (and are still bound to bear influence), in recent years work/life balance and flexible/remote working options have become just as pressing deciding factors for candidates.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>But according to data gathered by Employer Brand specialists, Link Humans, there&rsquo;s a new consideration for companies looking to attract candidates. They found that ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) was the second highest mentioned attribute of an attractive employer brand. And interestingly remuneration sat at the bottom of the 16 listed features.</p>\\n<p>These findings are perhaps no surprise given that sustainability is a growing concern for many businesses now. As more and more of us accept increased responsibility for lowering our environmental impact at home, it&rsquo;

1s only natural that companies are being expected to take steps to become more sustainable too. At Carbon60, we&rsquo;re actively working to reach our own sustainability goals. We&rsquo;re setting up verticals specifically for greener roles and are looking at where existing skills can be transferred to more sustainable specialisms. Our wider Vertage has already moved to renewable energy and we are working to encourage company car owners to opt for EVs.</p>\\n<p>From recycling and reducing waste to using less power or switching to greener energy sources &ndash; these are things that can be implemented by households and corporates alike. But when it comes to businesses looking to expand, carrying out sustainable activities is no longer enough. Companies need to be visibly taking accountability for reducing their carbon footprint and improving the environment we live in.</p>\\n<p>Why? Well, not only is it the right thing to do for our planet, but it&rsquo;s also now a key factor for talent on the lookout for their next position. Younger generations are now starting to choose an employer based on their sustainability credentials.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s a growing priority for all of us as we rebuild and reshape our economy in the wake of COVID-19.</p>\\n<h2>Top tips on creating a sustainable brand</h2>\\n<p>Get everyone on board - Particularly senior management. Any change in strategy must come from the top and be embraced by your company as a whole.</p>\\n<p>Conduct an audit - Look at how green your business is already and where changes could be made to improve.</p>\\n<p>Educate your people - Lay out what&rsquo;s expected of employees to help you achieve your ESG objectives. Explain why people need to pull together to make a difference. Look at what activities you can implement to become more environmentally friendly.</p>\\n<p>Rewrite job ads - Remember how important sustainability is to today&rsquo;s candidates. Be sure to include your commitment on adverts and other communications.</p>\\n<p>Shout about it - Partner with your marketing team to promote the great work you&rsquo;re doing to be more sustainable. There&rsquo;s no point keeping it under wraps!</p>\\n<p>Revisit your values - Plus, your vision, mission, and purpose. They need to align with your sustainability goals. Remember authenticity is key.</p>\\n<p>Follow it through - Don&rsquo;t forget sustainability in all you do. From your hiring and onboarding process to daily BAU &ndash; for sustainability to be ingrained in your business, it has to underpin every department, each activity, and your entire strategy.&nbsp;In our experience, candidates are now willing to accept lower salaries to work for sustainable companies. In my career as a recruiter, I have had people approach me on LinkedIn from outside of the industry to say they are looking for a future-proof career and want to work with a sustainable employer. By showing how we are achieving this, we can attract talent away from competitors and from other sectors.</p>\\n<p>Further evidence of the importance of crafting an employer brand that&rsquo;s sustainability-focused is TotalJobs&rsquo; 2019 survey. It found that millennials would be willing to take a pay cut of up to &pound;11,400 to work for a company working to help the environment. According to the report, Generation X and Baby Boomers would also accept a pay reduction for the same reason.</p>\\n<p><br>For advice on building your employer brand, why not <a href=\\"../../../../../../contact-us\\">get in touch</a> today to find out how we can support you.</p>"},"cta_link":{"en":""},"featured":{"en":""},"cta_title":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"external_campaign":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Find out our tips on how to look at your sustainability credentials and using them for your employer brand"},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"featured_on_navigation":{"en":""},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"sustainability-credentials-and-your-employer-brand","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:06.888Z","updated_at":"2026-09-28T13:42:58.385Z"},{"id":"9dfe6ab5-86ef-4e7c-827a-1b8167338028","tag":{"en":["Career Advice","Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2023-10-18"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/5typ4y3ec2os47mqotisc2a15z5n"},"title":{"en":"How Does Culture Play a Role in the Workplace"},"author":{"en":"Dillan Mistry"},"content":{"en":"<p>Company culture defines an organisation.

Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro, wind and geothermal power are remapping the energy landscape as we see it, with a promising trajectory to renew

1able energy plans.</p>\\n<p>The transition from fossil fuels is a challenge which requires materials, systems, and devices efficient for harvesting, conversion, and management of energy, with many researchers investing in machine learning to advance their efforts further. Below are just a few of the many renewable energy sources we will see improving over the next decade.</p>\\n<h4><strong><span style=\\"color: black; background: white;\\">Solar Energy </span></strong></h4>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #000000; background: white;\\">Experiencing exponential growth in recent years, solar energy is set to become the largest source of electricity generation by 2050, according to the IEA. With solar energy systems exhibiting lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduced pollution release, it is also reported to become 35% cheaper by 2024, this, coupled with the increase in the efficiency of solar energy, is powering the solar revolution, allowing this energy source to eventually surpass coal and natural gas. </span></p>\\n<h4><strong><span style=\\"color: black; background: white;\\">Wind Power</span></strong></h4>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: black; background: white;\\">Another key player in the future of renewables is wind power, with both onshore and offshore wind energy projects expected to increase. Ambitious projects are planned for the UK and US, with onshore wind energy capacity increasing by 57% in 2024 and offshore wind capacity to grow to 234 GW by 2030, according to the GWEC, significantly contributing to clean energy goals. </span></p>\\n<h4><strong><span style=\\"color: black; background: white;\\">Hydroelectric Power</span></strong></h4>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: black; background: white;\\">Water-generated power remains to be a reliable and sustainable method of sourcing energy. It is estimated that the global installed hydropower capacity reached 1,308 GW in 2020 reported by The International Hydropower Association (IHA), which is expected to rise a further 9% by 2024. With innovative technologies like pumped storage hydroelectricity emerging, hydropower is an essential part of the renewable energy future. </span></p>\\n<h4><strong><span style=\\"color: black; background: white;\\">Geothermal energy </span></strong></h4>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: black; background: white;\\">Derived from the Earth&rsquo;s heat, geothermal energy is a source of energy often underestimated. It is reported that geothermal capacity is expected to grow to 18 GW by 2030 as stated by The Geothermal Energy Association (GEA), with an increase of 28% by 2024, with binary cycle power plants and enhanced geothermal systems being among the emerging technologies which predict to unlo<span style=\\"color: #000000;\\">ck this power sources full potential. </span></span></p>\\n<h4><span style=\\"color: #000000;\\"><strong><span style=\\"background: white;\\">Green Hydrogen </span></strong></span></h4>\\n<p><span style=\\"background: white; color: #000000;\\">Another renewable energy source contributing to the reach of net zero by 2050 is green hydrogen. Green hydrogen is a clean and viable solution to renewable energy, which recently doubled national targets for low carbon hydrogen production capacity to 10 GW by 2030. </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"background: white; color: #000000;\\">The challenges we face with green hydrogen production are finding new technologies to meet large-scale projects. This industry has many major energy providers and distributors looking into green hydrogen to back their efforts in natural gas production over oil and coal. </span></p>\\n<h4><span style=\\"color: #000000;\\"><strong><span style=\\"background: white;\\">Battery Energy Storage Systems</span></strong></span></h4>\\n<p><span style=\\"background: white; color: #000000;\\">One last solution to note is battery energy storage systems (BESS), which are playing an increasingly important role in the energy crisis. BESS can optimise wind and solar generation while also enhancing the grid&rsquo;s capacity to deal with energy surges in peak demand. In Ireland, Fluence and Statkraft have partnered on the market&rsquo;s first 4-hour battery energy storage system.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"background: white; color: #000000;\\">The future of renewable energy is promising, with hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, BESS, green hydrogen and wind energy technologies sitting at the forefront of the energy revolution.

If you need to pause, just pause, and use the time to think about what you\'re going to say next.</p>\\n<h3>&ldquo;Bad.&rdquo; (See also: boring, hate, annoying)</h3>\\n<p>Never use negative language in an interview, focus on the positives.

1s a bad tone for the whole process.</p>\\n<h3>&ldquo;Ugh, my previous company was just the WORST.&rdquo;</h3>\\n<p>Don&rsquo;t badmouth your previous company. Try and focus on turning everything into a positive &ndash; if you had a bad experience with your last employer, try describing what you learnt from it, and how you managed the situation.</p>\\n<h3>&ldquo;My last boss and I had a terrible relationship.&rdquo;</h3>\\n<p>The interviewer has no way of knowing whether this was your fault or not, so it could reflect badly on you. Explaining it further could result in you digging yourself into a hole, so it\'s best to avoid the topic altogether.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m so nervous.&rdquo;</h3>\\n<p>Being nervous is a natural part of the interview process, and your interviewer will expect it, but there&rsquo;s no reason to actually tell them! You\'re a skilled and professional individual so focus on speaking positively and confidently.</p>\\n<h3>&ldquo;My weaknesses are&hellip;&rdquo; (Unless the interviewer asks for them)</h3>\\n<p>Don\'t be self-deprecating, always big yourself up.

To do this they use a set of seven Cultural Behaviours which set out clearly what they expect from their 3,500 employees - and what they offer in return.</p>\\n<p>A 124 slide presentation was created by Reed Hastings and ex-Chief Talent Officer Patty McCord to highlight the behaviours that they follow. It shows that high-performing employees will eventually leave a process-driven culture. They suggest that the talented, responsible people &ndash; the people every company wants &ndash; are worthy of freedom which they can thrive on, the lack of rules allowing them to be the best version of themselves.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Instead of spending time and money creating HR policies to prevent issues that only a small number of staff might cause, they&rsquo;d rather try hard to not hire those people in the first place.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Rather than focusing on the amount of days or hours someone has worked, they focu

1s on the output being of the highest quality. Letting people work through context rather than being controlled, meaning if they can link the job they do to what the company is trying to achieve, they will do better work. (However, if their work is not of high enough quality, they will be let go, with a generous severance package).</p>\\n<p>Also, rather than have formal performance reviews, managers and employees have regular, organic conversations about performance as a normal part of work. Most of the time it&rsquo;s pretty obvious if someone&rsquo;s not performing rather than waiting until their monthly review to be told.</p>\\n<p>Netflix are well-known for paying their employees extremely well, more than anyone else would pay so that each employee will be at the top of their market and also will have less chance of being wooed somewhere else because of a higher salary.</p>\\n<p>When it comes to holiday, employees are told to take whatever holiday they feel is appropriate. The Virgin Group have been inspired by Netflix with regards to their unlimited holiday policy and followed suit.</p>\\n<p>Netflix&rsquo;s expenses policy is refreshingly simple - &ldquo;Act in Netflix&rsquo;s best interests&rdquo; - common sense if you&rsquo;re working for a company you care about. Imagine you&rsquo;re spending your own money basically &ndash; and help the company save money by not putting through extravagant expenses.</p>\\n<p>Despite the great pay and the flexible attitude to holiday, the key to their success is hiring &ldquo;fully formed adults&rdquo; who actually care about the company&rsquo;s well-being, will work hard to do the best job possible and make decisions that benefit the company. Having employees you can trust negates the need for rules and is the ultimate way of proving how high trust their culture is, which has been reflected in their better hiring followed by a continuous feedback loop between managers and staff helping maintain consistency and being able to root out any issues early on.</p>\\n<p>Just because these particular behaviours work well at Netflix, it doesn&rsquo;t mean they will work everywhere. Their culture is a reflection on the community that currently exists within the company, which didn&rsquo;t happen overnight, it has evolved over time and is now something unique to them.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Most companies can learn something from their behaviours to apply to their own business in some way, it&rsquo;s just a matter of deciding which ones will work. The reality is, even if a company decide to follow suit on all or some of the things Netflix do, it probably won&rsquo;t have the same result, or at least not immediately.</p>\\n<p>It can take time to attract the best people and weed out the worst. It may even have the adverse effect - the best existing employees might not like the new changes and might leave. Working for a company with the same behaviours as Netflix won&rsquo;t be for everyone and regardless of what industry you work in, the behaviours they created for their company won&rsquo;t necessarily work as well elsewhere.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>To be fair, not all companies are on an even playing field, a small start-up company versus an established company such as Netflix worth $41.1 billion is going to yield different results in terms of how much they can pay, what benefits they can offer and who they can attract.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Regardless of your company&rsquo;s reputation or bank balance, the important thing to take away from this is that all c

Is it growth? Customer satisfaction? Employee engagement? For many business leaders, the most significant measure of success is profitability. But there&rsquo;s a new objective high on the agenda for businesses, and that&rsquo;s sustainability.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>As more of us become increasingly aware of the impact we have on our planet, adopting more sustainable habits in the workplace is becoming just as important as our profit line. The problem is profitability and sustainability haven&rsquo;t always gone hand in hand. Many businesses believe that implementing more sustainable practices will incur costs and actually detract from their success. From sourcing more expensive eco-friendly materials and products, to accounting for the additional time and effort required in planning and introducing more sustainable operations, there&rsquo;s a widespread preconception that going greener means spending more.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Is Sustainability Worth It?</h2>\\n<p>So, is it worth the hassle? Worth the resources? In short, yes. Far from a tick box exercise, you&rsquo;re likely missing a trick if you simply feel obliged to think about sustainability. Yes, we all have a responsibility to do our bit in line with government targets and/or because we feel personally compelled. But what if we told you that all businesses, whatever their market, can take steps towards becoming more sustainable and becoming more profitable in the process?</p>\\n<p>In this blog we&rsquo;ll expel the myth that profitability and sustainability don&rsquo;t mix and prove that they can in fact go hand in hand.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Becoming Sustainable</h2>\\n<p>Companies viewing sustainability as an investment rather than just a cost will reap the benefits further down the line. Ensuring a more sustainable business creates opportunities for the future. From longer-term cost savings to new business prospects, the advantages of creating sustainable processes will far outweigh the upfront outlay. And importantly, remember that the modifications don&rsquo;t need to be vast.</p>\\n<p>Harvard Business Review published an article highlighting several companies leading the way in sustainability, with pioneering plans for reducing their carbon footprint. They provided examples of businesses from across the globe who have successfully made changes, including Zhangzidao Fishery Group in China, Jain Irrigation Systems in India, Manila Water Company in the Philippines, and Florida Ice &amp; Farm in Costa Rica.</p>\\n<p>Each of these organisations had something in common. They didn&rsquo;t overhaul their entire strategies in place of an all encompassing sustainability plan. Instead, they focussed on small marginal gains &ndash; adjustments to specific elements of their operations that over time would equate to much larger returns. The key to combining sustainability with profitability then is to set smaller, achievable short-term targets to realise larger long-term value.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>For instance, you might have a target to achieve zero waste, but that may not be immediately achievable, especially in line with the needs of your business. Instead, you could set your company the goal of &lsquo;reducing waste by X%&rsquo; over the next 12 months. You could enhance existing recycling efforts with additional procedures for reselling or reusing waste. These steps may not be ground-breaking, but they&rsquo;re an example of how to make an incremental difference over time. Plus, by breaking the steps down, the target no longer feels quite as daunting, and small wins will give you the momentum to carry on.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>The Groundwork for Achieving Sustainability</h2>\\n<p>It all starts with doing your homework to identify what sustainability means for your organisation. A sustainable method that works for one company&rsquo;s processes won&rsquo;t necessarily transfer to another or across different industries.</p>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;re in aviation, sustainability may relate to lowering fuel consumption. The upfront costs in identifying how to do that, and eventually accomplishing it, will undoubtedly cost money.</p>\\n<p>In manufacturing it could mean reducing waste, increasing recycling efforts or sourcing more sustainable materials. While greener supplies are normally more expensive, stats show that Generation Z consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products, so while initial expenses may rise, there&rsquo;s a high probability that more sustainable goods will lead to greater profit.</p>\\n<p>Perhaps you want to invest in renewable energy? There&rsquo;ll be an upfront cost for installing solar panels or a wind turbine, but after a number of years, you&rsquo;ll start to see the payback. Could you implement new technologies to improve your environmental impact? Again, this is a higher initial expense, but it will potentially save costs over a longer period of time.</p>\\n<p>\\"As there&rsquo;s no one-size-fits-all solution for sustainability, it will take some forethought and planning. It&rsquo;s about reviewing your own current operations and identifying where you can adjust.\\"</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>The Knock-On Effects of Sustainability</h2>\\n<p>The financial benefits of becoming more sustainable don&rsquo;t end there. In a survey carried out by TotalJobs, 80% of people agreed that companies have a duty to help the environment, 50% said they&rsquo;d consider not working for a company with harmful practices and 26% claimed they&rsquo;d take an average &pound;8,100 pay cut to move to a sustainable employer.</p>\\n<p>And it&rsquo;s not only candidates and employees with these preferences. With lots of organisations now promoting their inclination for working only with sustainable suppliers, your client base and partner network could increase as a result too.</p>\\n<p>Doing your bit to save the planet is becoming a core USP. And publicising it is a great way to boost your profits by gaining additional staff, clients, and professional partnerships.</p>\\n<p>The focus on sustainability isn&rsquo;t going away &ndash; it&rsquo;s the right thing to do for all our futures. While there&rsquo;s no quick fix, it&rsquo;s exciting that we&rsquo;re also provided with endless opportunities for improving efficiency, attracting new talent, and boosting our reputations through sustainability &ndash; and that all this will contribute to profitability.</p>\\n<p>The key is to start small and focus on longer term solutions. They may not benef

1it us or the environment today, but the ultimate goal is to future-proof. If you can reap the rewards in 5, 10, 50 or even 100 years&rsquo; time you&rsquo;re succeeding in making sustainability profitable.</p>\\n<p>At Carbon60 we&rsquo;re working to lower our own environmental impact. Our sustainability goals align closely with those of many of our clients, so we&rsquo;re excited to be working collectively to make the engineering industry greener moving forward.

However, it&rsquo;s likely that at some point in your career, you&rsquo;ll be working with someone who you just don&rsquo;t get on with. After all, workplaces are full of people from different backgrounds, viewpoints and ways of working. Every now and then, a conflict may arise with a colleague. </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\">But rather than letting the problem fester, it&rsquo;s important to deal with it. Unresolved conflict can be a big problem, both for the individuals and the people around them. It can affect both the wellbeing and performance levels of the individuals involved, and their wider teams may see reduced cooperation and collaboration. At a business level, this leads to a loss of productivity.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\">These are just some of the reasons you need to deal with any workplace conflicts you might have. If you&rsquo;re wondering how to do this, we&rsquo;ll talk you through some of the key steps and actions below. Read on!</span></p>\\n<h2><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 24px; color: #7c97ab;\\">Establish the source of the conflict</span></strong></h2>\\n<p>Working out how the conflict has arisen in the first place will help you understand the issue. If you know what the causes are, this could make things easier to tolerate or at least help you be more accommodating.</p>\\n<p>This means understanding the other person&rsquo;s motivations and looking at things from their perspective. Do they work in a different department, or have different business objectives? This could be a reason for differences in opinion.</p>\\n<p>Alternatively, is it a clash of working styles? For example, there could be a potential for conflict between someone that likes to work really methodically and somebody else who&rsquo;s more of a risk taker. Similarly, different teams have their own ways of managing workload &ndash; sometimes when people from these teams are working together, there could be a clash around this.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s equally important to look at yourself. Do others see you as you see yourself? Look at your own behaviour and whether there are things you can do differently.</p>\\n<p>If the conflict is particularly serious &ndash; for example, discrimination &ndash; then you should get your manager and HR involved. But if it&rsquo;s the type of thing we referenced earlier, it&rsquo;s good to sort this out between yourselves, to begin with.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 24px; color: #7c97ab;\\">Have an honest discussion &ndash; focused on actions</span></strong></h2>\\n<p>Arrange to speak to the other person in private. Be open about how you feel while keeping your manner polite and professional. Focus on actions &ndash; not personalities. This means saying things like &ldquo;<em>when this happens</em>&rdquo;, rather than &ldquo;<em>when you do</em>&rdquo;. This keeps the focus on the specific situations and stops it from looking like you&rsquo;re generalising about the person.</p>\\n<p>When talking about how a situation makes you feel, again emphasise the situation rather than the individual. It&r

1squo;s easy to say something like &ldquo;<em>I&rsquo;m angry at you because</em>..&rdquo; &ndash; but a better and more accurate phrase would be &ldquo;<em>When this happens, I feel angry</em>&rdquo;.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><span style=\\"font-size: 24px; color: #7c97ab;\\">Practice</span><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 24px; color: #7c97ab;\\">&nbsp;active listening</span></strong></h3>\\n<p>There are two sides to every conflict, so make sure you listen to the other person as well. Pay full attention rather than getting ready to react or mentally preparing your answer. Active listening is a very useful technique here. This is when you wait for a person to finish speaking and then repeat or rephrase what was said to make sure you understand it. Not only does this show them that you&rsquo;re fully listening, but it also allows you to detect any signs of emotion from them which might be important.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 24px; color: #7c97ab;\\">Phrase questions as enquiries, not accusations</span></strong></h3>\\n<p>Don&rsquo;t assume that someone&rsquo;s deliberately gone out to annoy or harm you. Sometimes they may not have realised what has gone on. If they have done something that&rsquo;s caused an issue for you, ask them why &ndash; but do so in a curious way, rather than as an accusation. This stops the situation from escalating.</p>\\n<p>In a similar vein, if your colleague says something that you find hurtful &ndash; take a breath and think before responding. While saying something hurtful back can be a natural impulse, this won&rsquo;t improve the situation.</p>\\n<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>\\n<h4><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 24px; color: #7c97ab;\\">Show empathy</span></strong></h4>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s crucial that you don&rsquo;t make the conversation all about you. Give the other person plenty of time to tell you their thoughts, feelings and perspective. We mentioned earlier how you should think about their point of view when establishing the source of the conflict. Well, at this stage of the process they&rsquo;re literally telling you their point of view, so treat it with empathy. You wouldn&rsquo;t like it if they dismissed what you were telling them, so show them respect. Put yourself in their shoes, and if there&rsquo;s anything you can understand &ndash; for example why they did something &ndash; tell them. They&rsquo;ll appreciate your honesty and compassion.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 24px; color: #7c97ab;\\">Agree on common ground</span></strong></p>\\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve listened to the other person, work out which of their points you agree and disagree with. Then see which of your points they agree and disagree with. Keep talking until you eventually come to an agreement on the areas of conflict. If there&rsquo;s something you believe you need to apologise for, then go ahead and do it then rather than waiting until later.</p>\\n<p>This will help you put together a plan of action, prioritising the most important parts of the conflict. Just as key is setting up future meetings, to see how both of you are feeling about the progress you&rsquo;re both making.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h4><span style=\\"font-size: 24px;\\"><strong><span style=\\"color: #7c97ab;\\">Keep things confidential and positive</span></strong></span></h4>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s easy to moan about people behind their backs, but this won&rsquo;t have any benefit. And if they find out about it, it&rsquo;ll make your relationship even worse. Unless things deteriorate and you need to get your manager or HR involved, it&rsquo;s best to work through the conflict between you.</p>\\n<p>Don&rsquo;t let the situation affect your own attitude either, as this could impact your performance. Focus on the positive things that you like about your job and work on maintaining good relationships with your co-workers.</p>"},"country":{"en":["United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"A good relationship with colleagues is pretty important so what can you do when conflict arises?"},"url_slug":"dealing-with-conflict","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:06.024Z","updated_at":"2024-03-27T15:13:32.956Z"},{"id":"a01acdf5-bc4d-4eaf-8af8-6f0fb83d3c50","tag":{"en":["Construction","Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2022-7-20"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/pem3qyp0m42bsdlyngnkflaz6wpv"},"title":{"en":"The data imperative in engineering and construction, by Paul Nolan, Managing Director at Carbon60"},"author":{"en":"Paul Nolan"},"content":{"en":"<p style=\\"text-align: left;\\"><span style=\\"text-align: left;\\">For a STEM industry, engineering and construction (E&amp;C) is surprisingly tech shy.

With rising demands for construction projects (<a href=\\"https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/data/industry-hails-jump-in-construction-workloads-14-01-2022/\\">workloads in the UK rose by 3.5% between October and November 2021</a>), compounded by a tough market (<a href=\\"https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/contractors/mace/mace-hikes-tender-price-inflation-forecast-for-2022-again-11-01-2022/\\">Mace Consulting has recently predicted a 4.5% tender price hike in 2022 due to material and labour shortages</a>), this is no small thing.</p>\\n<p>The industry can&rsquo;t deny the inevitable for much longer. But to digitise the sector, first we must ramp up our data capability. Here&rsquo;s my view on how data could reinvent the E&amp;C industry.</p>\\n<p style=\\"text-align: justify;\\"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>\\n<h3><strong>Collaboration and co-ordination</strong></h3>\\n<p>One of the biggest sticking points in E&amp;C is communication. E&amp;C projects are traditionally made up of different contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. Moreover, each project can vary significantly, making it difficult to ever establish consistent tools, methodologies, or ways of working. These independent moving parts make it all too easy for anomalies to slip through the cracks, impacting project timelines and budget. Part of this boils down to a lack of integration &ndash; <a href=\\"https://assets.kpmg/content/dam/kpmg/xx/pdf/2021/08/global-construction-survey1.pdf\\">60% of E&amp;C companies acknowledge they need to increase integration and visibility across risk functions</a>.</p>\\n<p>Another challenge facing the industry is accessibility and visibility of data<a href=\\"https://www.forconstructionpros.com/business/press-release/21031884/fmi-corp-study-95-of-all-data-captured-goes-unused-in-the-ec-industry\\">. Almost 96% of data captured is not put to proper use in the E&amp;C industry</a>. This lack of available information then bleeds into onsite experience &ndash; according to a 2018 report by FMI <a href=\\"https://www.forconstructionpros.com/business/press-release/21031884/fmi-corp-study-95-of-all-data-captured-goes-unused-in-the-ec-industry\\">constructions teams spend 13% of their time looking for project data and information</a>, meanwhile an ACG survey found that <a href=\\"https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/nl/Documents/energy-resources/deloitte-nl-eri-2022-industry-outlook-engineering%20and%20construction.pdf\\">75% of E&amp;C firms experienced project delays due to longer lead times and market shortages</a> &ndash; suggesting the industry struggled to make accurate predictions on the market. This becomes even more concerning in secure environments like defence - <a href=\\"https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/data-strategy-for-defence/data-strategy-for-defence\\">a recent policy paper on data strategy in the UK&rsquo;s defence industry</a> found that only a quarter of systems had data that was easy to access.</p>\\n<p>Naturally, there is an opportunity here for digital to join the dots and help the industry move from guesswork to insight-led decision making. Artificial intelligence and machine learning models are invaluable for unpicking historic data to anticipate future trends and needs, such as predicting market-wide resource or material shortages, identifying alternative solutions (and their likelihood of working), and identifying risks and process blockers. Digital supply networks (DSNs) can also use data (e.g. blockchain) to monitor materials through the supply chain and link up communications between different parties, meanwhile augmented reality (AR) can help E&amp;C companies demonstrate the finished environment, ensuring that everyone is kept on the same page.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Prediction and patterns</strong></h3>\\n<p>When data is used to its full potential, we can understand trends and forecast to a scarily accurate degree. Part of this power comes through the Internet of Things (IoT) &ndash; a network of interconnected devices that capture and exchange information about the environment around them (a smart home is a great example of IoT in action).</p>\\n<p>Within construction, IoT can help us make predictions about future trends (such as energy consumption and growth of renewables by anal

1ysing consumer data), to improve communication within projects through real-time data across different sites (such as within logistics and fleet management), and for site maintenance. For example, we can anticipate machine failure before it happens by using IoT sensors to monitor real-time conditions and by using machine learning to interpret these readings against failure trends. The machine can therefore be removed, repaired, or replaced before it impacts the project. This information can then be relayed to everyone onsite using IoT-enabled smart devices, like mobile phones. In part one we saw one example of how using cutting-edge technology like drones and digital twins could take IoT to the extreme.</p>\\n<p>Another example of how IoT and data can enable predictive engineering is in urban planning. IoT can analyse a city&rsquo;s traffic &ndash; such as population size and footfall in different regions, popular commuter times, and congestion areas &ndash; using technology like contactless travel and mobile data, in order to pinpoint areas for streamlining (such as requiring additional transport routes in high-traffic areas). This can then also feed into technology like autonomous vehicles (which themselves are data based), to improve the efficiency, quality, and environmental impact of the cities we live in.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Workforce reskilling and automation</strong></h3>\\n<p>Rising demand &ndash; <a href=\\"https://www2.staffingindustry.com/eng/Editorial/Daily-News/UK-Job-vacancies-in-real-estate-and-construction-reach-record-highs-60543\\">job vacancies in the UK&rsquo;s real estate and construction markets rose by 107% year-on-year in 2021, an all-time high</a> &ndash; and a growing need for a more highly skilled, technical workforce, is causing a severe talent shortage in the E&amp;C sector.</p>\\n<p>To meet this growing need, businesses will need to recruit and reboot digital skills internally &ndash; potentially even working with specialist suppliers (like Carbon60 and Lorien) to acquire the best talent. But digitisation can also help resource challenges too. Whether that&rsquo;s using AI and machine learning to accurately resource plan and ensure the right skills are mapped to the right projects, or using technology such as automation or drones to remove some of the more repetitive, manual, or dangerous elements of work in E&amp;C. For example, a robotic arm that can perform bricklaying or a digital twin that can precisely simulate the conditions in high-rise buildings, free up people that can be upskilled into more technical roles.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Final word</strong></h3>\\n<p>E&amp;C has recovered phenomenally well from the chaos of the last two years. But E&amp;C now requires a cultural shift to harness digital and accelerate into this demand. Cutting-edge technology doesn&rsquo;t always land, especially where there is a lack of project consistency and an unfamiliarity with tech potential. Locating common pain points (both across projects and teams), identifying test cases, and focusing on upskilling the workforce to pivot from transactional activity to end-to-end, iterative, and agile working, will all ease digital adoption. In establishing this digital mindset, HR has a core role to play by helping E&amp;C companies upskill their people, recentre their workforce and improve communication and collaboration between once disparate functions.

We&rsquo;ve pulled together information from our database over the past six to twelve months to share market insights and uncover any trends.</p>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;re an engineer in Renewables looking to compare your own salary, or an employer looking to benchmark current and future Renewables roles, this report is for you.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>A positive outlook for Renewables Site Engineers and Project Managers</strong></h3>\\n<p>Firstly, let&rsquo;s look at the number of roles available for Site Engineers and Project Managers in the Renewables sector.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s positive news for both when looking at job postings following the pandemic. For the past year we&rsquo;ve seen a remarkable increase in the number of live vacancies for Site Engineers and Project Managers. To date, for Site Engineers we&rsquo;ve recorded an increase of around 80% in the number of unique job postings, with a sharper surge occurring from February onwards.</p>\\n<p>For Project Managers, that percentage increase has been slightly lower, but still significant at around 70%. There have been no sizeable peaks for this group, but instead, a steady and gradual rise in the number of unique job ad postings month-on-month.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>This suggests Site Engineers and Project Managers are in a strong position post-pandemic and likely reflects a period of recovery for industries requiring the support of engineering for their continued growth. Great news for engineering which appears to also be thriving.</p>\\n<p>When comparing the two specialisms with one another however, there is one that is head and shoulders above the other. The number of Renewables Site Engineer jobs per month has averaged 964 in the past twelve months, whereas for Project Managers, this figure stands at 7,078 live roles per month.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Leading locations for Site Engineer and Project Manager roles</strong></h3>\\n<p>Looking at locations now, it&rsquo;s perhaps anticipated that the highest number of live Renewables vacancies over the past year have been in and around London. 35% of all Site Engineer roles and 49% of Project Management roles advertised have been London-based.</p>\\n<p>Demand is still high in other areas of the UK though, with Northern Powerhouse scenes including Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds featuring highly on our list of top UK cities for Renewables. Scotland and specifically Glasgow and Edinburgh are also currently popular locations for Site Engineers and Project Managers with a Renewables focus.</p>\\n<p>At the other end of the scale, Reading is cited as the area with the fewest Site Engineer jobs per month and Liverpool for Project Managers. That said, we&rsquo;ve still been recording average numbers of around 57 and 417 roles respectively per month for the past year. These are stats we&rsquo;ll continue to measure with interest for the rest of 2022.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Top skills for Site Engineers and Project Managers</strong></h3>\\n<p>What skills are employers looking for in their Renewables engineering specialists? We were keen to understand what they are and whether there are similarities between the requirements for the two different roles.</p>\\n<p>Hard skills, as we may expect, differ between the two disciplines.</p>\\n<p>For Site Engineers, the most highly sought-after skill (36%) is Civil Engineering and for Project Managers, it&rsquo;s perhaps unsurprisingly, Project Management (42%). Risk Management/Analysis and Construction feature on both lists but beyond that, the hard skillsets for each are quite different. Site Engineers are preferred to have experience in Subcontracting, AutoCAD, Earthworks and Health &amp; Safety. Project Manager employees are looking for capabilities in Agile Methodology, Stakeholder Management, Finance and Change Management.</p>\\n<p>When it comes to soft skills though, job descriptions for Site Engineers and Project Managers in Renewables are much more al

1igned. The most requested soft skill for both is Management (20% for Site Engineers and 40% for Project Managers). And in second place for both roles is Communication (19% and 38% respectively).</p>\\n<p>Planning, Problem Solving and Operations are also all amongst the most common soft skills included in job ads for both functions.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>The average Site Engineer earns more than Project Managers</strong></h3>\\n<p>There&rsquo;s long been speculation about the roles of Site Engineers and Project Managers and which specialism offers the most income &ndash; Site Engineers providing invaluable specialist technical expertise and Project Managers having a more holistic view of engineering environments and operations.</p>\\n<p>Currently our data shows that Renewables Project Managers&rsquo; wages have been consistent since late 2021, except for a small increase of around &pound;2000 from February which has remained in place to date.</p>\\n<p>For Site Engineers in the Renewables space, wages have fluctuated more, experiencing a much sharper increase of &pound;10,000 between December 2021 and February 2022, which has steadily decreased again by &pound;4-5,000 as the year has progressed.</p>\\n<p>Currently our data shows that in the past six months Site Engineers in Renewables have on average been earning more than Project Managers. Project Managers&rsquo; wages have averaged <a>&pound;</a><span style=\\"color: black;\\">51,840</span>&nbsp;<span style=\\"color: black;\\">, however, this doesn&rsquo;t account for performance bonuses which are often between 5 &ndash; 30%, bumping up this figure considerably. For Site Engineers the average has been <a>&pound;59,136. </a></span><span style=\\"color: black;\\">One thing to note is that this salary may not factor in costs of accommodation, food, transport etc. This does of course include the substantial spike seen in February which has bumped up the overall figures for Site Engineers. &nbsp;These are further statistics we&rsquo;ll be monitoring in the coming months to see whether this increase is a one-off occurrence or could indicate a longer term rise for Site Engineer professionals.</span></p>\\n<hr>\\n<p>Keen to know more?

1The latter focus on the technical and day-to-day aspects of a project. On the other hand, Project Development Managers focus on the initial delivery of sites for development. It&rsquo;s a broader and more strategic role, so there will be less of an emphasis on day-to-day operations.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white; margin: 0cm;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white; margin: 0cm;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">Sometimes there are instances of the same person doing both roles; however, this is quite rare. It can be achieved when the person has exceptional skills and experience and even then it only works on smaller projects.

Examples include environmental laws and planning permissions, as well as legislation specific to the Renewable Energy industry. The latter can be quite fast-moving, so somebody who relishes the opportunity to learn and keep up with the latest developments will flourish.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white; margin: 0cm;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white; margin: 0cm;\\"><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">If you would like to see more of our Renewables career guidance you can view our career advice page</span><a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/find-a-job/career-advice\\"> here</a><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white; margin: 0cm;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black;\\">&nbsp;<br></span></p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>"},"country":{"en":["United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Interested in a career as a Project Development Manager in Renewables?

The general theme is one of progress and positivity.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">Chris said: &ldquo;<em>Renewable energy weathered the pandemic pretty well, overtaking fossil fuels as the largest source of UK electricity for a full year, and the result was quite a buoyant job market</em>.&rdquo;</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">He added: &ldquo;<em>On a personal level, I have definitely seen an increase in talent demand over the last year from renewable energy companies, but also from traditional energy providers looking to increase their footprint in renewables</em>.&rdquo; </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">Barry believes &ldquo;<em>

1the pandemic has changed how candidates job hunt</em>&rdquo;, and the future-focused nature of Renewables is one of the things that makes it so appealing.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&ldquo;<em>Few industries have such a clear path for industry expansion laid out, and the chance to be a part of that movement is a key driver for candidates.</em></span></p>\\n<p><em><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">There&rsquo;s also a lot of career security in the renewables industry, given its focus on the future.

In Renewables, every business is playing a huge part in solving the biggest and most urgent problem out there &ndash; climate change. </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">The necessity of taking steps to combat this is clear to everyone. A big part of the solution is producing clean energy, so as coal and gas power generation continue to be weaned off, renewable energy sources will take centre stage. </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">Naturally, this means there are excellent long-term career prospects here. </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">As Chris mentioned earlier, even traditional energy companies are looking to do their bit and increase their renewable footprint &ndash; so wherever you look, there are opportunities to be found.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<h3><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\"><strong>Providing people with purpose</strong></span></h3>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">The days of people being happy with just a salary and the promise of a good final pension are long gone. It&rsquo;s widely acknowledged that employees want more from a job, including a purpose and knowing they are doing something meaningful. </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">This desire has gone up a notch since the pandemic. A global study by </span><a href=\\"https://www.gartner.com/en/articles/employees-seek-personal-value-and-purpose-at-work-be-prepared-to-deliver\\">Gartner</a><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\"> saw 65% of respondents say the pandemic had made them rethink the place that work should have in their life, while 56% said they wanted to contribute more towards society.</span><span style=\\"color: black;\\"> </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">This is one of the biggest attractions of the Renewable Energy sector. Anybody working in this space is helping to fight climate change and build the future energy system of the world.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">In the blog for Lorien, Barry said this was one of the reasons he&rsquo;s seen an increase in interest from jobseekers.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&ldquo;<em>I think renewable energy has always been an interesting industry to be a part of, but over the pandemic people have renewed their values and really want to feel like they are contributing to something meaningful</em>.&rdquo;</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">He summed it up best when saying: &ldquo;<em>It&rsquo;s a very rewarding industry to join because you&rsquo;re creating a world for the next generation.</em>&rdquo;</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">Ultimately, people working in Renewables are having a bigger impact on society than most industries. For purpose driven employees, this makes it ideal.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<h3><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\"><strong>Promoted by policy makers</strong></span></h3>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">It&rsquo;s understandable that after the instability of the last two years, jobseekers now want more certainty. They want to be at a company that can weather any storms, or in an industry that has a real future. Renewables definitely ticks these boxes.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">

1There is no uncertainty in this industry &ndash; it&rsquo;s backed by governments and is at the heart of many policies. For example, the UK has set a Net Zero carbon emissions target by 2050, along with a pledge to produce all electricity in the country through clean energy sources by 2035.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">This is all driving demand within the industry, and as Chris pointed out, gives a lot of bargaining power to candidates.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&ldquo;<em>It&rsquo;s an interesting one, because on the one hand a lot of candidates are drawn to the sector, but on the other, demand is massively on the rise. As a result, salaries and rates in the industry are staying quite lucrative, which is another plus for candidates reconsidering their careers. It&rsquo;s not an industry where your value is going to decline, particularly because of the emphasis on specialism</em>.&rdquo;</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">All of this means that Renewables is as close to a sure thing as you can get.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<h3><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\"><strong>Going global</strong></span></h3>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">Another consequence of the pandemic and people&rsquo;s re-evaluation of what they want, is the shift towards wanting to travel. This has always been there, but as the world becomes less restrictive and more &lsquo;borderless&rsquo;, employees want to explore further.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">Now, we mentioned the problems that are being solved by renewable energy earlier, and these problems are global. That means the same applies to job opportunities. Here at Carbon60, we&rsquo;ve been placing candidates not just in the UK, but across Europe. Demand is high everywhere so it&rsquo;s no surprise that people who are looking to relocate are keeping an eye on Renewables.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">There are also many vacancies, such as Lead or Senior Engineers, which require occasional travel to overseas sites. This is great for people who don&rsquo;t want to relocate completely.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<h3><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\"><strong>Varied and cutting-edge tech</strong></span></h3>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">For people who are excited by technology, the Renewable Energy industry hits the sweet spot. You have the chance to work with a range of tools that are at the forefront of the latest developments.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">The sheer nature of the industry requires constant thinking outside of the box. Recent examples are floating solar panels or the building of gigafactories for battery storage. For people who are passionate about innovation, there aren&rsquo;t many better industries to be in &ndash; something Barry was keen to emphasise.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&ldquo;<em>You&rsquo;re experimenting with new concepts, using the latest technology, and thinking outside the box. For people that are wanting to cut their teeth on the latest skills, you&rsquo;d be hard pressed to find a better industry</em>.&rdquo;</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<h3><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\"><strong>A breadth of roles</strong></span></h3>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">Variety also comes in the types of roles you could do. Renewable energy projects &ndash; for example those involving Wind, Solar Energy or Battery Storage &ndash; require people from a range of backgrounds. You could also find yourself working on a site, in a lab, in an office, or at sea, so there&rsquo;s something to suit most people. </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">In addition, there are plenty of transferable skills which open doors for people that aren&rsquo;t in Renewables at the moment. Barry provided some examples in the blog for Lorien, saying:</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&ldquo;<em>You might be surprised by how transferable skills for renewable energy are. I typically work with clients for renewable energy jobs in project and programme management, site engineering, quality engineering, project development, construction management, civil/structural engineering, HSE, technical and design, and logistics. </em></span></p>\\n<p><em><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">Experience in renewables will always be a selling point, but typically clients are looking for people with transferable skills in EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction), who will bring their experience and knowledge of the market with them</span></em><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">.&rdquo;</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">We also wrote a blog specifically about transferable skills </span><a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/transferable-skills-for-a-career-in-renewable-energy\\">here</a><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\"> &ndash; feel free to take a read!</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">With so much global investment, and many government commitments, Renewables is fast becoming the industrial revolution of our times.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">And whether it&rsquo;s financial freedom, travel opportunities, or the chance to help change the world &ndash; there are several reasons why it&rsquo;s highly sought after by jobseekers.&nbsp; </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: #212121;\\">If it&rsquo;s an industry you like the sound of, we&rsquo;d love to have a chat and help you explore.

While technology plays a huge role in this, it&rsquo;s workers who are at the heart of the energy transition.</p>\\n<p>Take this stat for example. Even during the pandemic disrupted year of 2020, <a href=\\"https://www.irena.org/newsroom/pressreleases/2021/Oct/Renewable-Energy-Jobs-Reach-12-Million-Globally\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">half a million jobs were added</a> in the Renewables sector, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The same body also predicts that by the year 2050, total employment within Renewables will be up to 100 million.</p>\\n<p>With so many opportunities available, in an area which will continue to be a key global priority, it&rsquo;s a great time to make a career change. But what do you need to be aware of if you&rsquo;re transitioning to a career within Renewables, and what skills do you need?</p>\\n<p>Read on for some of our top tips.</p>\\n<h3>Evaluate your industry experience</h3>\\n<p>First things first, it&rsquo;s important to analyse your industry experience. Some industries are particularly useful in terms of giving you a head start within Renewables.</p>\\n<p>For example, if you work within Oil &amp; Gas &ndash; the other side of the energy coin &ndash; you&rsquo;ll find yourself in high demand, as many of the skills and processes you currently use are applicable to Renewables.</p>\\n<p>Similarly, if you have a background in Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), you should have the ability to manage large-scale infrastru

1cture projects &ndash; perfect for the Renewable Energy sector! Logistical experience is also great to have if you want to work on sites that are being built.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s not just about the obvious industries though. Perhaps you&rsquo;re an engineer that works at sea. In that case, you could investigate roles related to wave energy, or within the offshore wind energy industry.</p>\\n<h3>Analyse your transferable technical skills</h3>\\n<p>No matter what field you work in, you are bound to have some transferable skills. What you need to do is identify what they are and then emphasise them throughout the job search &ndash; in your CV, cover letter and job interviews.</p>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;re already a civil, electrical or mechanical engineer in another area, then there&rsquo;s plenty for you to highlight. In Renewables, you&rsquo;ll generally be managing projects that involve Solar Energy or Battery Storage, but a lot of the technical and organisational skills you use in your current sector will still apply. Examples include being able to interpret drawings to a high standard and being at an advanced level with computer-aided design software.</p>\\n<p>Those who work within Construction or Project Management should also keep a close eye on vacancies within Renewables, as skills here are easily transferable. Examples include the ability to put together a Programme of Works (PoW), allocate resources and supervise sites.</p>\\n<p>Health and safety skills are also highly transferable from almost any industry. There will of course need to be some training specifically related to Renewables, but the general experience will stand you in good stead.</p>\\n<h3>Showcase your soft skills</h3>\\n<p>Those are all some of the technical skills. But you might find that your soft skills are easier to highlight. Some of the key ones required within Renewables are:</p>\\n<ul style=\\"list-style-type: disc;\\">\\n<li>Communication (written and verbal)</li>\\n<li>Problem solving</li>\\n<li>Attention to detail</li>\\n<li>Flexibility</li>\\n<li>An analytical mindset</li>\\n<li>The ability to absorb and then simplify complex information</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>If you feel you have most of these, then you will definitely be seen as an appealing candidate. Don&rsquo;t overlook or downplay them and just focus on the technical side of things.</p>\\n<p>You can also draw upon experiences you&rsquo;ve had away from the workplace. For example, if you spent time away looking after your children, talk about skills such as discipline and multi-tasking that you&rsquo;ve needed. If you&rsquo;ve travelled, you may have picked up international knowledge. This could prove to be quite useful &ndash; we actually work with a lot of businesses who either have or want to grow their global presence.</p>\\n<p>You should also emphasise any training courses you have done. This shows your passion and ambition to potential employers. For example, if you&rsquo;re a Project Manager, have you gained any certifications? The most popular ones are Prince2, Project Manager Professional (PMP) and Association for Project Management (APM). These will add real value to your CV.</p>\\n<h3>Immerse yourself within Renewables</h3>\\n<p>Research is the key to any job hunt, but even more so if transferring industries. Absorb as much knowledge as you can &ndash; download research reports, keep up with the latest news, join relevant groups and forums, and start networking.</p>\\n<p>Speak with recruiters who specialise within Renewables &ndash; these are people who know the industry in great depth. It&rsquo;s far better to use recruiters that are sector specialists when you&rsquo;re moving to a new industry, as their insight will give you the extra 10% you need to stand out.</p>\\n<p>Your research will also help you work out exactly what you want to do in Renewables. There are many different types of projects, such as offshore wind or battery storage ones. Different roles will also require different skills. If you&rsquo;re someone who prefers to be on-site every day, a Project Manager or Site Engineer role would be good, whereas a Quantity Surveyor role will see you spending more time at a desk crunching numbers.</p>\\n<p>Think about which location you want to work in as well. If you go down the Site Engineer route, it offers the opportunity to work on a

1site abroad. In fact, even if you choose to stay in the UK, there are many roles which require the Lead or Senior Engineers to travel to overseas sites occasionally. Ask yourself whether this is something you want, or whether you&rsquo;d prefer to stay local.</p>\\n<h3>Use the right keywords on your CV</h3>\\n<p>Many CVs go through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and are scanned for specific keywords. Therefore, it&rsquo;s important that your CV has the right ones on it, which are related to the Renewable Energy sector. Make sure they&rsquo;re not just stuffed in though &ndash; incorporate them in a natural way.</p>\\n<p>Transferable skills are always a great thing to have, particularly when there is economic uncertainty in some markets. The exciting thing about the Renewable Energy sector is that there is no uncertainty and no room for doubt &ndash; it&rsquo;s a fast-growing area which has the backing of policy makers. That means the job opportunities are there. It&rsquo;s down to you to put the work in and grasp them.</p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Are you looking to transition to a career within Renewables?

This is the case across the globe, especially in light of various &lsquo;Net Zero&rsquo; government strategies.</p>\\n<p>In this blog, we&rsquo;re going to focus on the role of Project Managers, covering a combination of Civil, Electrical and Mechanical engineering.</p>\\n<p>As global specialists with over a decade&rsquo;s experience in Renewables, we&rsquo;ve placed a lot of Project Managers. And right now, it&rsquo;s an area where we are seeing more vacancies than ever. After all, the huge increase in demand for clean energy has meant there are countless initiatives and projects in place across the sector. Often, skilled Project managers are required for utility scale projects. These are large scale projects &ndash; typically involving solar energy or battery storage &ndash; which directly affect the power being fed into the grid.</p>\\n<p>So what does the role of Project Manager actually entail, and what do you need to succeed? Read on for answers to these questions and more.</p>\\n<h3>What does a Project Manager in Renewables do?</h3>\\n<p>As Project Manager, you will be overseeing Renewable Energy initiatives in their entirety, from inception to completion. This means planning and managing operations to ensure each phase of the project is done on time and within budget. A key part of this is allocating the right resources, to the right areas, at the right times.</p>\\n<p>You will probably hear the term Programme of Works (PoW) a fair bit. This is essentially a reference point for key stakeholders, laying out how work will be carried out and by what dates. As Project Manager, you will need to create these at a very detailed level and supervise the people in each phase to check they are not going out of scope.</p>\\n<p>A Project Manager&rsquo;s role is very contact heavy. You will be liaising with internal and external stakeholders &ndash; including running your own project team - and have the main responsibility of supervising contractors. In addition, you will be the point of contact for suppliers, vendors and even authorities.</p>\\n<p>Some of your daily duties can involve:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Conducting site investigations and feasibility studies</li>\\n<li>Preparing and managing the project budget</li>\\n<li>Developing and managing the project scope and timelines</li>\\n<li>Producing progress reports on a daily, weekly and monthly basis</li>\\n<li>Requesting and selecting proposals from subcontractors, including contract negotiations</li>\\n<li>Identifying potential project risks and solutions</li>\\n<li>Managing relationships with internal and external stakeholders</li>\\n<li>Creating a handover document for the Operations and Maintenance (O&amp;M) team<br>&nbsp;</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>The typical salary for this role can range from &pound;55,000 - &pound;65,000 (dependant on experience). However, it&rsquo;s also common for those at a very senior level to earn around &pound;75,000.</p>\\n<h3>What do I need to become a Project manager within Renewables?</h3>\\n<p>As touched upon earlier, these are contact heavy roles which require lots of stakeholder liaising. That&rsquo;s why some soft skills are absolutely key, such as strong communication and leadership ability. You&rsquo;ll need to have excellent self-discipline and organisation skills, as the entire project will be based on important timelines &ndash; you are the one responsible for keeping everyone else on track. Also, the ability to make problem-solving decisions under time pressures is very useful and can give you the edge ahead of your fellow job seekers.</p>\\n<p>Qualifications wise, almost all roles will expect a Bachelor&rsquo;s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Civil Engineering. Typically, any of these will be accepted, but be sure to check each job description as some require specific degrees. Companies may also look at your professional qual

1ifications, which is something we&rsquo;ll touch on later.</p>\\n<p>You will also be expected to have 3-5 years&rsquo; experience, with a preference for those who have been involved in utility scale projects before. Don&rsquo;t be disheartened if you don&rsquo;t have this though &ndash; if you can demonstrate excellent knowledge of the Renewable Energy sector, particularly within solar energy and battery storage, then you&rsquo;ll still have a fighting chance.</p>\\n<p>As with many Project Manager jobs, you will be working with various online documents and presentations, so at least a working knowledge of Microsoft Office and Microsoft Project will help. Finally, an additional language (particularly a European one) can come in handy as many companies have overseas projects within their portfolio.</p>\\n<h3>How can I progress?</h3>\\n<p>While the obvious step up is a Senior Project Manager, it&rsquo;s important to look at the type of projects you are working towards. Sometimes you will find yourself working on larger and more complex ones, but your job title may not necessarily have the word &lsquo;Senior&rsquo; at the start!</p>\\n<p>Often, however, the next rung on the ladder is that of a Senior Project Manager. Other job titles to look at include Head of Projects and Director of Projects &ndash; these come with more experience.</p>\\n<p>Many people undertake professional Project Management qualifications while they are working. The two most popular options are Prince2 and Association for Project Management (APM). The former is more framework based and provides you with best practice methods, while the latter teaches you how to apply your skills in a strategic and commercial environment. Some people decide to do both, but either will add value to your CV. Together with practical, on-the-job experience, you will find it easier to gain those senior opportunities.</p>\\n<p>You may also wish to take specific qualifications related to procurement. As mentioned in an earlier section, you will be sourcing proposals from subcontractors and negotiating contracts. The knowledge you&rsquo;ll pick up from a procurement course alone could be invaluable, but an actual qualification adds another string to your bow.</p>\\n<p>As you progress, you could find yourself working either in a freelance capacity, or for an outsourcing firm where you are contracted out. These can see you working on short-term contracts at a substantial daily rate.</p>\\n<h3>What&rsquo;s the future for Renewable Energy?</h3>\\n<p>Whether it&rsquo;s government policies, climate activism, and even David Attenborough documentaries &ndash; the shift towards Renewable Energy has grown beyond expectations, and it will only get bigger. This means the projects and initiatives you could be working on will deliver a greater impact than ones in other industries.</p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Interested in a career as a Project Manager in Renewables?

The youngest child, and only girl, from a working-class family in Liverpool, my ambitions were simply to succeed. While I&rsquo;m still on my journey, I wanted to share my career story in light of our recent partnership launch with social mobility charity In2scienceUK, and to show that no-one&rsquo;

1s journey to success is single-handed.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>The Vertage STEM portfolio (Lorien, SRG and Carbon60) and In2scienceUK will be supporting young people from low socio-economic backgrounds to pursue a career in STEM through industry and research-based placements and skills workshops. Learn more about our partnership here.<br><br>As you&rsquo;ll see from my story, that&rsquo;s an initiative that is very close to my heart.&nbsp;<br><br></p>\\n<h2>My career journey</h2>\\n<p>I loved STEM subjects from an early age, I particularly had a passion for maths and chemistry. I never particularly enjoyed the academic side of leaning, and after leaving school I took a job as a laboratory assistant. The company sponsored me to complete my HNC at a local college one day a week, and I worked around the clock &ndash; one day at college, in the labs four days a week and working at B&amp;Q at the weekend. All to save up to buy a &pound;600 Mini so I could get around and be independent!<br><br>Two years later I joined Solvay &ndash; a multinational chemical company &ndash; and worked my way up from Laboratory Technician to Research Chemist. Solvay sponsored me to attend university one day a week to do a degree in chemistry, something I&rsquo;m not sure I ever would have had the confidence to pursue for myself. I became the first generation in my family to go to university.<br><br>After the business relocated to Belgium, I decided it was time for a change. I wanted to do something that involved people but was still close to science. And that&rsquo;s how I entered the recruitment industry!&nbsp; I started with a small independent recruitment company as a resourcer and left two years later after setting up a successful scientific recruitment division to join SRG.</p>\\n<p>From the beginning, I really believed in SRG&rsquo;s vision. SRG hires ex-scientists &ndash; people that know the industry and the market inside out &ndash; and trains them up into consultative recruitment roles. Because the people know and love the industry, it is really easy for them to identify the right opportunities for the right people.</p>\\n<p>I started as a Regional Manager, which petrified me as I didn&rsquo;t have much experience of managing large teams&hellip; but I kept saying to myself &lsquo;what doesn&rsquo;t break you will make you stronger&rsquo;.&nbsp; The team and I worked incredibly hard to put SRG Manchester on the map, I met some great people who helped me on my way, and I still have contact with these people today, although many have retired.&nbsp; A couple of years later I was promoted to Regional Director in the North, and then UK Director of Science and Engineering. I also had my son Joseph in that period which provided a fresh new challenge!&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>I was promoted to Managing Director of SRG in 2009. I remember thinking that I had my work cut out for me, we were muddling through a global recession and very few people were hiring. I made some structural changes and thankfully the market soon bounced back, enabling us to triple our revenue over three years.&nbsp;<br>Then, 18 months or so ago, I was given the amazing opportunity to take on two additional STEM brands in Vertage &ndash; Lorien (technology and digital) and Carbon60 (engineering). I became the STEM Portfolio CEO and I&rsquo;ve loved every minute of it; I&rsquo;ve had the opportunity to work with some incredible people and I&rsquo;m really excited about our future.&nbsp;<br>But I couldn&rsquo;t have done this alone.&nbsp;<br><br></p>\\n<h2>Thank you</h2>\\n<p>I&rsquo;m very fortunate to have met people who believed in me throughout my career &ndash; sometimes more than I believed in myself. In particular, I&rsquo;m indebted to Peninsula Laboratories and Solvay for sponsoring me to complete my education. Without Solvay, I wouldn&rsquo;t have been able to afford to go to university. I&rsquo;ve also had the privilege of working with some incredible people. Dr Craig Jones, who I worked with at Solvay, deserves special mention because he was a fantastic mentor. He came from a similar working-class background to me, and he really took me under his wing.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Vertage has also been a great place for me to develop. Vertage has a strong leadership team that is full of powerful, inspiring women. In fact, just last year four of us made the notable SIA Power 150 &ndash; Women in Staffing list. This month we celebrated International Women&rsquo;s Day across the business, with guest speakers, panels, and networking.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>My experience has underlined the value of role models. Recognition, representation, and sponsorship of people from underrepresented backgrounds helps us to see our possibilities &nd

1ash; and I hope to be that for someone else one day too.<br><br></p>\\n<h2>Imposter syndrome</h2>\\n<p>I&rsquo;m very open about the fact that I&rsquo;ve struggled with imposter syndrome throughout my career. Every role I&rsquo;ve ever taken, including this one, I&rsquo;ve felt sick with the idea that no-one would take me seriously. Self-belief can be quite difficult to achieve, especially if you&rsquo;re from a minority background where you can&rsquo;t see yourself in those upper echelons of business. My first role in the laboratory was male dominated and I was the only female project manager without a PhD. I used to feel like I couldn&rsquo;t do things because I wasn&rsquo;t rich, I didn&rsquo;t have a posh accent or an academic background. Imposter syndrome, if you let it get to you, can be crippling.</p>\\n<p>I&rsquo;ve learnt over the years that the best way to beat imposter syndrome is by being true to yourself. I know that sounds cheesy, but there honestly isn&rsquo;t any point being a fake version of yourself; it&rsquo;s exhausting. Imposter syndrome can also be valuable &ndash; it can give you grit and determination, but it can also ground you. Humility is a much-underestimated quality.</p>\\n<p>My advice to anyone reading this is that if I can do it, so can you.&nbsp;<br><br></p>\\n<h2>The STEM sector</h2>\\n<p>I might have moved away from working directly in the STEM industry, but my heart never left the sector. STEM is such an exciting place to work &ndash; you can impact real-world problems like fighting cancer, tackling climate change, or connecting people across the world.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Crucially, it&rsquo;s a sector that is growing quickly and is hungry for talent. The IET is predicting a <a href=\\"https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2021/11/engineering-and-tech-giants-join-forces-to-stem-15bn-annual-skills-gap/\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">STEM skill shortage of 173,000 roles in the UK</a>, and that means more opportunities, better pay, and more flexibility for people that want to join the industry. In fact, a recent study from the Institute for Fiscal Studies found that some of the university courses with the highest mobility rates were in STEM.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>So why not try it out? It might be your first step to a long, successful, and happy career.&nbsp;<br><br></p>\\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\\n<p>My career journey might not be the most conventional, but I have been very fortunate with the opportunities I have been given. I want to return that favour, and I hope we can do that with our new partnership with In2scienceUK.

You may be one of the many people interested in working within this area &ndash; whether it&rsquo;s as a Project Manager, Construction Manager, Site Engineer, or any of the other roles available.</p>\\n<p>Hopefully you&rsquo;ve found some of our previous advice around things like <a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/top-cv-writing-tips-for-a-job-in-renewable-energy\\">CV writing</a> useful, and have got yourself an interview. At Carbon60, we&rsquo;ve been placing candidates within Renewables for over a decade, so I thought I&rsquo;d share some best practice for interviews. Take a look at the tips below, as well as the short video I&rsquo;ve recorded.</p>\\n<div class=\\"flex-video widescreen\\"><iframe src=\\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/0zFaZ5yE0ho\\" width=\\"640\\" height=\\"360\\" frameborder=\\"0\\"></iframe></div>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Use prep time wisely</strong></h3>\\n<p>You&rsquo;re probably aware that preparation is the name of the game for any interview, and that certainly rings true within Renewables. Look at the company&rsquo;s website and familiarise yourself with their work. Pick a couple of specific projects they&rsquo;ve worked on to really drill down into. These can be referenced during the interview, which will impress the hiring manager.</p>\\n<p>Go over each element of the job description and work out how you&rsquo;re going to match yourself up to their requirements (more on this later). Use websites like Glassdoor to do a bit more research on the company, and even potential interview questions you could be asked. Don&rsquo;t be afraid to speak with your recruiter as well &ndash; this is exactly what they are there for.</p>\\n<p>There&rsquo;s one other key bit of advice for your preparation. What you want to do is spend the bulk of your time researching the company, the role and practising your answers to role-related questions. What you don&rsquo;t want to do is spend time preparing for questions like salary or length of contract (if applying for a contract role). Therefore, it&rsquo;s important you&rsquo;

1ve already gone through this discussion at the outset with your recruiter &ndash; they should be fully briefed on what you&rsquo;re looking for and should have made the client aware of this before they submitted you.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Treat virtual interviews like a face-to-face</strong></h3>\\n<p>Generally, a lot of clients are doing interviews virtually and will probably continue to do so. The last couple of years has shown that this is the way forward &ndash; in terms of ease, speed, time and commuting costs. It&rsquo;s also better for the environment, which clients in Renewable Energy particularly like!</p>\\n<p>However, it&rsquo;s important not to slip into a comfort zone if your interview is virtual. Treat it in the same way you would a face-to-face, as I can guarantee you that the hiring manager will.</p>\\n<p>Be on time and dress professionally. This doesn&rsquo;t mean a three-piece suit, but equally, I wouldn&rsquo;t advise wearing the same tracksuit you&rsquo;ve just been out for a jog in either!</p>\\n<p>Ensure you&rsquo;ve done a tech check well beforehand, so things run smoothly. I would also pay attention to your background &ndash; you don&rsquo;t want things too busy or distracting.</p>\\n<p>Once the interview begins, do what you&rsquo;d do if you were in the same room as the interviewer. Make good eye contact, answer questions calmly, while also showing your passion for the role. Renewable Energy is such an exciting sector to work in &ndash; you get to work with incredible technology, whilst shaping the future energy systems. This should come across in your body language.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Connect your experience to the job requirements</strong></h3>\\n<p>As mentioned, you should match your own skills and experience to what&rsquo;s on the job description. Highlight specific projects and achievements related to this. For example, you may be going for a Site Engineer role (whether it&rsquo;s Civil, Mechanical or Electrical). The likelihood is you&rsquo;ll be managing the site operations for a particular Renewable Energy project. Look back at your previous projects &ndash; was there an occasion where you identified significant energy saving opportunities? What impact did it have?</p>\\n<p>Similarly, this role will probably see you supervising a number of subcontractors. How many did you supervise previously, and how well did they eventually implement the construction drawings?</p>\\n<p>These are just some examples I am giving. The ultimate point is to link previous successes with the job you&rsquo;re interviewing for.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Ask the right questions</strong></h3>\\n<p>Another way to show how keen you are is by asking questions yourself. This shows that you&rsquo;re not just going through the motions and are genuinely interested in the opportunity.</p>\\n<p>The obvious questions are about the role and the specific Renewables projects you&rsquo;ll be working on. But I also advise my candidates to dig a little deeper into the company itself. Ask your interviewer why <strong>they</strong> joined. What is it that made them move from their previous company to this one?</p>\\n<p>What do they enjoy most about working there? What&rsquo;s the culture like? These are the types of things you can&rsquo;t glean from a job advert &ndash; it&rsquo;s somebody&rsquo;s first-hand experience which is pretty priceless information.</p>\\n<p>Remember an interview is a two-way street. You&rsquo;re selling yourself, but they should also take the time to sell the benefits of working there. If you ask the right questions, then they&rsquo;ll be able to do exactly that.</p>\\n<p>As well as the positives, it&rsquo;s a good idea to find out about some of the challenges as well. Don&rsquo;t be afraid to ask the interviewer what these are or would be for you if you got the role. We all work at companies that, whilst we may love them, aren&rsquo;t always perfect. There will be challenges you face on a day-to-day or weekly basis and it&rsquo;s important you understand those.</p>\\n<p>

1Ask about progression opportunities. For example, if all went well over the next few years, where and how do they see you moving? Going back to the Site Engineer example from earlier &ndash; the next step up is Lead Engineer or Senior Site Engineer. Maybe you could ask about the people in those roles currently, and whether they were external hires or internal promotions? Don&rsquo;t push this too far, as you want to strike the right balance. Show ambition, but not arrogance.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Finish with a flourish</strong></h3>\\n<p>You may also want to finish off with a question like:</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;<em>Are there any concerns that I haven&rsquo;t addressed for you during this interview that I can address for you now?&rdquo;</em></p>\\n<p>This shows you&rsquo;re engaged and keen on the position, and also gives you the peace of mind that you&rsquo;ve got all of your key points across. There may have been something you prepared but forgot to mention &ndash; by asking this question, it could give you another opportunity if the interviewer brings it up.</p>\\n<p>I&rsquo;ll give you an example. One of my candidates went for a Project Manager role and had planned to showcase his knowledge of Solar PV, which he&rsquo;d enhanced through training courses he&rsquo;d been on. While he hadn&rsquo;t mentioned it during the interview, that final question led the interviewer to ask whether he was someone who could constantly keep up to date with the latest developments. This allowed him to talk about some of the courses he&rsquo;d done during his spare time.</p>\\n<p>It\'s bold, but it can be very effective.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Getting to the interview stage means you&rsquo;ve already done well, as it&rsquo;s such a competitive field. Hopefully, these tips will help you during the next stage, and help you land a job in what is such an important sector worldwide.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h5>Looking for more of our expert career advice?&nbsp;</h5>\\n<p>We have a wide range of advice, from writing your CV and Cover Letters to tips for your first week at a new job.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/career-advice\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener\\">Click here</a></p>"},"cta_link":{"en":""},"featured":{"en":""},"cta_title":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"external_campaign":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Advice on how to have a successful job interview, from our Renewables recruitment expert."},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"featured_on_navigation":{"en":""},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"top-tips-for-your-renewable-energy-job-interview","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:07.249Z","updated_at":"2025-12-08T11:30:17.083Z"},{"id":"7f6e19e7-afe8-4f7f-9168-e488ee74445c","tag":{"en":["Career Advice"]},"date":{"en":"2022-2-16"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/r410snd7f7tqxb7602sn9q532mbw"},"title":{"en":"Site Engineer Job Description - Renewable Energy"},"author":{"en":"Phili Alexander"},"content":{"en":"<p>The Renewable Energy sector is one which is highly popular for jobseekers. It&rsquo;s rapidly growing, with vacancies increasing from 7.3 million in 2012, to 12 million in 2020.</p>\\n<p>One of the key drivers for this has been the increase in discussions and policies around the environment. This has led to a huge demand for clean energy &ndash; both the volume and scale of renewable energy projects has gone up. Naturally, this has had a positive knock-on effect in terms of jobs.</p>\\n<p>In this article, we&rsquo;ll look at one of the most popular roles within Renewables &ndash; a Site Engineer. We&rsquo;ll break down what it entails, what you need to succeed and where it could lead.</p>\\n<h3>What does a Site Engineer in Renewables do?</h3>\\n<p>A Site Engineer role can cover a combination of Civil, Electrical and Mechanical engineering, often for projects that involve Solar Energy or Battery Storage. Your role will be to manage the on-site operations for the duration of a particular Renewable Energy project. These projects are generally based around the production of energy from renewable sources, for example wind or solar power.</p>\\n<p>The scope of the role can be quite wide &ndash; your input will be technical, organisational and supervisory.</p>\\n<p>In terms of where you work, most jobs will require a mix of office and on-site working. It&rsquo;s also not going to be an isolated job &ndash; there is lots of interaction with others. You&rsquo;ll work alongside other engineers to provide support, guidance and strategic advice, while there&rsquo;s also plenty of liaising with clients and operational departments.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Some of your daily duties can involve</p>\\n<p>Surveying and inspecting sites<br>Setting up sites for projects<br>Combining renewable energy production with existing power systems<br>Supervising subcontractors, ensuring the civil, electrical and mechanical construction drawings are being properly implemented<br>Providing technical support and guidance to solve on-site problems<br>Managing welfare and waste facilities (normally in conjunction with Site Managers)<br>Feasibility studies and cost estimates<br>Preparing daily, weekly and monthly progress reports</p>\\n<p>Finally, the starting salary for a Site Engineer within Renewables is generally around &pound;25,000, but those with experience can earn between &pound;30,000 - &pound;40,000. Once you get to a senior level (which we&rsquo;ll touch on below), you could earn closer to &pound;65,000. Many businesses also offer extras such as private healthcare, bonus schemes and relocation packages</p>\\n<h3>What do I need to become a Site Engineer in Renewables?</h3>\\n<p>We&rsquo;ll split this into a few sections.</p>\\n<p>In terms of qualifications, a Bachelor&rsquo;s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Civil Engineering is a requirement for most jobs. Typically, any of these will be accepted, but be sure to check each job description as some require specific ones.</p>\\n<p>There are some soft skills which will stand you in good stead. We mentioned earlier that you&rsquo;ll be required to interact with many different people, so strong communication skills (written and verbal), along with the ability to negotiate and influence stakeholders are important. You also need to be detail oriented &ndash; the projects you&rsquo;ll be working on will be highly complex, where the smallest of things can have a big impact. Other important soft skills include:</p>\\n<p>Problem solving<br>Organisation<br>Flexibility<br>An analytical mindset<br>The ability to absorb complex information and simplify if needed</p>\\n<p>In terms of technical skills, science and maths are obvious ones, but it&rsquo;s essential to be good with computer-aided design software. AUTOCAD is one where experience can be a real advantage. You should also have the ability to interpret electrical, mechanical and civil drawings to a high standard.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to have knowledge of key environmental legislation, as well as those specifically within Renewables, especially when it comes to battery storage and solar parks. It&rsquo;s a fast-moving industry, so you need to constantly read and keep up to date with new developments.</p>\\n<p>A driving licence is also quite useful, due to the amount of travel involved &ndash; particularly as the sites can be in remote areas, away from good public transport links.</p>\\n<p>Finally, you should keep in mind that a decent level of physical fitness will be required. When you&rsquo;re on site, you&rsquo;ll be expected to do a fair amount of walking, as well as things like climb ladders. To this end, make sure you also keep on top of Health &amp; Safety regulations.</p>\\n<h3>

1What progression opportunities are there for me?</h3>\\n<p>Once you\'re in your first role, you should aim to work towards a professional qualification. With some good practical experience, you can then register with the Engineering Council. This adds a bit of extra weight to your CV and helps you when looking to move upwards.</p>\\n<p>The next step up is jobs such as Lead Site Engineer and Senior Site Engineer. In these roles, you&rsquo;ll often find yourself as the main technical authority on projects from initial concept all the way through to completion. You will also have the responsibility of managing one or more Site Engineers. Many projects may be starting from scratch, so part of your role will include developing a larger team of Site Engineers.</p>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve shown flexibility, then your chances of a promotion will be quite good, including work abroad. In fact, even if you choose to stay in the UK, there are many roles which require the Lead or Senior Engineers to travel to overseas sites on an occasional basis.</p>\\n<p>Another option is to become a self-employed consultant, where you would provide specialist advice to organisations.</p>\\n<h3>What more can you tell me about Renewables?</h3>\\n<p>There&rsquo;s a couple of exciting things about working in Renewables.</p>\\n<p>One is the variety of technologies.

She&rsquo;s a Life Cycle Assessment Officer at Innospec, a global speciality chemical company. This is one of the most interesting roles we recruit for &ndash; one which is especially relevant in a world where sustainability is at the forefront of people&rsquo;s minds. We thought it was worth sitting down with Darcy to find out more about the company, her role and her route into

1it.</p>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;re interested in a career in chemical engineering, focusing on sustainability, take a look at our Q&amp;A with Darcy.</p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\"><strong>Tell us briefly what a Life Cycle Assessment Officer does.</strong></span></h2>\\n<p>Part of the answer is in the name &ndash; we analyse and assess the entire lifecycle of a product. The aim is to look at all the processes that are involved in making and bringing a product to market. This will enable us to see which has the biggest impact on the environment. It&rsquo;s then about finding solutions that can improve this.</p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\"><strong>What exactly does Innospec do and what attracted you to them?</strong></span></h2>\\n<p>Innospec is a Speciality Chemical company. They have three core business units: Performance Chemicals, Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Our Performance Chemicals business manufactures chemicals which are used in products sold in the personal care, home care, agrochemical, and mining markets. We develop cutting-edge, high-performance solutions for our customers&rsquo; processes or products that help contribute to a more sustainable environment.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>The Fuel Specialties business is an industry leader in the development and production of innovative fuel additive technology for a range of fuels. Our additives help improve fuel efficiency as well as reduce harmful emissions.</p>\\n<p>Our Oilfield Services business offers a full range of speciality products and technical field services for drilling, stimulation, production and midstream applications. These services are available in the US, South America, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. These products help improve operational efficiency.</p>\\n<p>This is one of the things I like most about Innospec. They\'re trying to make things like engines and consumer products last longer, which contributes to a better environment.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">What does a typical day look like for you?</span></strong></p>\\n<p>My day involves a lot of data collection, looking at all the key points of the product lifecycle from start to finish. I look at the materials involved &ndash; what are they, where are they coming from and how do they get transported from point to point? As a result, I engage with suppliers to gain a more in-depth understanding of the raw materials we use in our processes.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">How did you get into the role?</span></strong></p>\\n<p>This was a brand new role that Innospec created. More and more of their customers were asking for Life Cycle Assessments, so they brought me in as a graduate to train up. Currently, I&rsquo;m working with our external consultancies to analyse all the processes and hotspots, but eventually, I&rsquo;ll be conducting these myself.</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">What are some of the most important qualities a Life Cycle Assessment Officer needs?</span></strong></p>\\n<p>I think a passion for data and statistical modelling helps, which wasn&rsquo;t a problem for me as I loved Maths &ndash; It might sound geeky, but it&rsquo;s true! Collecting and analysing the data is quite a time-consuming process so you need patience and good attention to detail. Communication is another key aspect &ndash; both written and verbal &ndash; as you need to present your findings and suggestions.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>The other really important thing I&rsquo;ve found you need is an open mind. You may have a solution that would make things better from a sustainability point of view &ndash; but what if it&rsquo;s more expensive? You then need to do a lifecycle cost assessment and try to find a balance that works for the business.</p>\\n<p><strong><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\">You mentioned you came in as a graduate &ndash; tell us a bit about your previous history and any influences that made you venture into this field.</span></strong></p>\\n<p>I studied Maths, Chemistry and Physics for my A Levels. Maths was what I enjoyed most but my family encouraged me to delve into Science as there are more opportunities there. I studied Chemical Engineering at university as I knew it&rsquo;d give me lots of options for my career.</p>\\n<p>One of the modules I studied was actually around Life Cycle Assessments, and I knew when I graduated I wanted to work in sustainability. I wasn&rsquo;t 100% sure what that would be so I took a break after university. When I saw this role with Innospec, I thought it was perfect. This means I get to analyse a wide range of products and processes, meaning the skills I learn will apply to a range of applications.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\"><strong>What have you learnt since starting this role?</strong></span></h2>\\n<p>There&rsquo;s so much I&rsquo;ve learnt. However, one of the main lessons is that, while sustainability is a collaborative effort &ndash; the bigger companies have the biggest impact, so that&rsquo;s where the difference can be made. So being in this role makes me feel like I can contribute more to sustainability.</p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"font-size: 18px;\\"><strong>How does it feel to be a woman who works both in chemical and engineering? That&rsquo;s pretty unique!</strong></span></h2>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s something I&rsquo;m very proud of. At university, most of the people on my course were men, although we did have a <a href=\\"~/link.aspx?_id=FC6AEC00309449339D235653E2719CD6&amp;_z=z\\">Women</a>&nbsp;in Science and Engineering Society that I was a part of. I&rsquo;m so pleased to be where I am.</p>\\n<p>Just as important is the fact that I&rsquo;m doing something which aligns with my values. Not many people from my course ended up in sustainability, but again, it was something I was passionate about. I&rsquo;m looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me next!</p>\\n<p>Are you seeking a fulfilling career?

Over the years, jobs within Renewables have been steadily growing year-on-year, with 7.3 million back in 2012, and 12 million in 2020.

I&rsquo;ve personally never seen such a huge demand for workers. At the same time, the level of competition has really increased. People recognise what an exciting area this is to work in and are keen to progress.</p>\\n<p>In this blog, I thought I&rsquo;d share some top tips &ndash; as well as common mistakes I see &ndash; when receiving CVs. Feel free to check out the short video below as well!</p>\\n<div class=\\"flex-video widescreen\\">

1<iframe src=\\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/elzCjlGiKhA\\" width=\\"640\\" height=\\"360\\" frameborder=\\"0\\"></iframe></div>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Tailor your CV</strong></h3>\\n<p style=\\"margin-bottom: 8.25pt;\\">I&rsquo;ll start with the most important tip I give to candidates. Always keep in mind that businesses aren&rsquo;t looking for someone who simply wants a job. They&rsquo;re looking for someone who wants to work for <strong>them</strong>.</p>\\n<p style=\\"margin-bottom: 8.25pt;\\">That&rsquo;s why your CV should always be tailored. One of the biggest mistakes I see is candidates sending a clearly generic CV over &ndash; either to recruitment agencies or direct to clients. This shows a lack of care and a lack of real interest in the role. It also doesn&rsquo;t show how your skillset can benefit that particular business.</p>\\n<p style=\\"margin-bottom: 8.25pt;\\">I&rsquo;m not necessarily suggesting that you do a mass rewrite. But you should certainly look at the core competencies and key duties that are on the job specification, and match these up on your CV. The same applies when mentioning your key achievements &ndash; relate it to what&rsquo;s on the job specification. For example, you might be applying for a Construction Manager or Project Manager role. Highlight previous successful projects that you&rsquo;ve delivered, with an emphasis on the end result and impact you had.</p>\\n<p style=\\"margin-bottom: 8.25pt;\\">Remember, companies are advertising these jobs because they have a need or problem &ndash; so you need to position yourself as the solution.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Keep it concise</strong></h3>\\n<p>I&rsquo;m often asked about the right length for a CV. My advice is to keep it to two pages, maybe three at a push. Believe it or not, I have received CVs in the past that are up to 10 pages long, and this doesn&rsquo;t help anybody. You want your CV to engage the hiring manager, and the moment they see a document which is too long, there&rsquo;s a chance that it actually won&rsquo;t be looked at properly.</p>\\n<p>You may have been working for quite a long time, and therefore wondering what parts of your career history you should and shouldn&rsquo;t include. &nbsp;I would say to go back to no more than ten years, as long as it keeps your CV within the 2-3 page limit. You can then add a line at the end saying that information on previous roles are available on request.</p>\\n<p>Also remember to keep the roles as relevant to the Renewable Energy sector as possible. For example, if you&rsquo;re applying for a Site Engineer role &ndash; be it Civil, Mechanical or Electrical &ndash; there&rsquo;s no need for you to put details of your retail assistant job when you were a teenager.</p>\\n<p>The slight exception to the rule above is if you don&rsquo;t have prior experience in the industry and are changing careers. Then you obviously do need to put down roles which aren&rsquo;t as relevant &ndash; but tailoring your CV becomes even more critical. For example, perhaps you&rsquo;ve spent a long time working in the finance world but want to move into engineering. You might then want to highlight your numerical and problem-solving skills, as well as your ability to analyse data, as these are things which are also required in engineering.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Be honest</strong></h3>\\n<p>While your CV is a tool that helps you sell yourself, avoid exaggerating or making things up. Remember everything can be easily checked nowadays, so it&rsquo;s best to be honest about previous roles and qualifications.</p>\\n<p>Be clear on the details. Perhaps you&rsquo;ve done a practical training course of some sort? Make sure you correctly state the exact course you did, the certification you achieved, and the year you achieved it.</p>\\n<p>Honesty also means being open about gaps in your CV. If there&rsquo;s a short period of time where you were out of work &ndash; for example a couple of weeks or months &ndash; this isn&rsquo;t a major issue. But if it\'s a significant gap, don\'t be afraid to explain it.</p>\\n<p>You may also want to mention the skills you did pick up while you were out of employment. Many people think that workplaces and classrooms are the only place where you learn things, but this isn&rsquo;t true. For example, if you spent time away looking after your children, talk about skills such as discipline, organisation and multi-tasking that you&rsquo;ve needed. If you&rsquo;ve travelled, you may have picked up international knowledge. This could be quite useful for a business looking to increase their global presence.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Crack the keywords</strong></h3>\\n<p>Many CVs go through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and are scanned for specific keywords. Therefore, it&rsquo;s important that keywords related to the industry and the role are mentioned in your CV. This doesn&rsquo;t mean stuffing them all in at random places though. Try to naturally incorporate them into the relevant sections. Here are some examples of general keywords I expect to find on CVs:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">Battery energy storage systems</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">BESS</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">EPC</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">G99</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">Grid connection</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">Photovoltaic</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">PMP</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">PPA</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">Renewable energy</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">Renewables</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">Solar PV</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">Wind Turbine</li>\\n<li style=\\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18pt;\\">WTG</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p style=\\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\\">&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Keywords aren&rsquo;t just important because of the ATS either. When hiring managers are looking through CVs manually, they will always appreciate references to key skills or industry specific words, as it shows you are switched on and know the Renewable Energy sector.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Focus on the formatting</strong></h3>\\n<p>You want to make things are as easy as possible for both the employers and/or the recruiters who are trying to help you. This means laying your CV out in a nice, clear manner, with lots of white space

1s separating out the different sections. Avoid images, graphs and charts &ndash; while you may think they look nice, they don&rsquo;t usually add any value and can make your CV unnecessarily lengthy.</p>\\n<p>Try to save the file in a Word or Google document. This is because recruiters are often required to copy and paste them into a specific template, and a document makes this easier to do.</p>\\n<p>Start with a punchy summary or introduction. This should just be a short paragraph that gives an overview of your career, experience and ability in relation to the specific job.</p>\\n<p>When going through your previous roles, provide the start and end dates with both the month and the year clearly stated. Sometimes CVs just show the year and that doesn&rsquo;t always give the client enough information about the length of the roles, especially if you&rsquo;ve had a lot of short-term contract jobs.</p>\\n<p>Finally, ensure the spelling and grammar within your CV is all correct. If you&rsquo;re applying through a recruiter, we can correct any errors for you (although this still isn&rsquo;t a great first impression). If, however, you&rsquo;re applying directly to a client - this won&rsquo;t go through that proofing process so could cost you. The spellcheck function is a great asset to you in these circumstances!</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3>Conclusion</h3>\\n<p>The market is competitive, but hopefully these tips can help you with any applications you&rsquo;re about to make within the Renewable Energy sector.&nbsp;</p>"},"cta_link":{"en":""},"featured":{"en":true},"cta_title":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"external_campaign":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Barry Jones, Principal Consultant in Renewables & Energy, has given his top industry advice for writing a great CV"},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"featured_on_navigation":{"en":""},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"top-cv-writing-tips-for-a-job-in-renewable-energy","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:07.097Z","updated_at":"2026-01-30T12:52:53.427Z"},{"id":"64e8f71a-8521-4c3b-ad9a-3d464e6521c0","tag":{"en":["Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2022-11-2"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/3js3tqzovgk7d5z363zqdtus656a"},"title":{"en":"Lorien, SRG and Carbon60 appoint Head of CSR to target STEM skill shortages"},"author":{"en":"Phili Alexander"},"content":{"en":"<p style=\\"text-align: left;\\"><span style=\\"text-align: left;\\">STEM brands within the Vertage portfolio have appointed Chris Blackburn as Head of <a href=\\"~/link.aspx?_id=19AE09FD5A3740718AC90050ACC9F30C&amp;_z=z\\">Corporate Social Responsibility</a>&nbsp;to target STEM skills shortages.</span></p>\\n<p>Chris will support Lorien (technology and digital recruitment), SRG (life sciences recruitment), and <a href=\\"~/link.aspx?_id=F570F2BB583742158D124800DF30981B&amp;_z=z\\">Carbon60</a>&nbsp;(engineering recruitment) with addressing known skills shortages in STEM, as well as to drive local and regional charity initiatives.</p>\\n<p>In 2021, the <a href=\\"https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2021/11/engineering-and-tech-giants-join-forces-to-stem-15bn-annual-skills-gap/\\">IET reported that the UK had a shortfall of over 173,000 workers &ndash; costing the UK economy an estimated &pound;1.5bn a year</a>.

Don&rsquo;t copy and paste your current job description as this won&rsquo;t have anything about what you&rsquo;ve achieved. Job descriptions are essentially HR documents, so they won&rsquo;t be a 100% match for what you do, and certainly not in any great detail.</p>\\n<p>It\'s good to ask yourself a checklist of questions and answer these on your CV. Two of the most important ones are:</p>\\n<p>What type of clients have you worked with? Being a Facilities Manager in a prison or hospital is very different to having the same role for a blue chip company, so this needs to be clear.</p>\\n<p>How big were the sites you worked on? This incorporates the actual size of the building, as well as the number of people in your team and the value of the contract. Providing as much of this information as you can gives the recruiter a better idea of your profile, and helps them match you up to a relevant company. For example, if you&rsquo;ve been managing a team of 5 for a contract worth &pound;500,000 a year, they won&rsquo;t put you forward to manage a team of 200 on a &pound;15m contract, as that won&rsquo;t suit your current experience.</p>\\n<p>Other questions to include when writing your CV are:</p>\\n<p>How much did you help reduce emissions by?<br>How much did turnover increase by and/or costs reduce by?<br>What other targets did you meet?<br>Did you manage both direct staff and contractors?<br>Were there any additional responsibilities you took on, or secondments you did?</p>\\n<p>Also show additional knowledge and skills you&rsquo;ve picked up. For example, have you got any safety certifications such as ones from the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), or Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH)? Perhaps you&rsquo;ve done specific Facilities Management courses from somewhere like the IWFM? Highlight these very clearly in a dedicated qualifications section &ndash; these are far more important than what you got for your GCSEs!</p>\\n<p>Finally, any experience you&rsquo;ve had with automation, or new tech/sustainable solutions, should also be emphasised. Many clients who are recruiting have modern buildings and sites, so this is a valuable bit of information for them.</p>\\n<p>Providing this depth and insight allows your recruiter to match you up with the best possible role and company. The last thing you want is to be sent for interviews at places where you feel there&rsquo;ll be a poor fit.</p>\\n<h3>Keep it short and sweet</h3>\\n<p>You can write the best CV in the world, but it won&rsquo;t matter if you can&rsquo;t hold people&rsquo;s attention. That&rsquo;s why being concise is key. Try to keep your CV at a maximum of two pages &ndash; while still providing the depth and insight mentioned earlier.</p>\\n<p>Make sure that all the roles you list are relevant. If you&rsquo;re going for a Senior Facilities Management role, your experience in a coffee shop when you were 18 isn&rsquo;t what you want your recruiter to focus on, so don&rsquo;t include it.</p>\\n<p>Also avoid talking about roles older than 7-10 years. While it might be tempting to include ones that are still relevant to Facilities Management, these won&rsquo;t provide the best picture of your strengths and abilities here and now. If you have space, you can potentially just list the job title, company name and dates worked. You can then add a line at the end saying that more information on previous roles is available on request.</p>\\n<h3>Create some variations</h3>\\n<p>While cover letters often need tailoring for each application, doing this for your CV can be quite time consuming. A good method is to create a few variations for the different types of jobs you expect to apply for. Adapt the skills, responsibilities and achievements so they&rsquo;re relevant to each one. Do this for around 3 different roles &ndash; however, make sure you read lots of job descriptions for these roles first. That way, you&rsquo;ll know exactly what they&rsquo;re looking for.</p>\\n<h3>Sweat the small stuff</h3>\\n<p>Don&rsquo;t forget some of the basics of writing your CV. Sometimes candidates get caught up in everything to do with selling themselves and forget these.</p>\\n<p>For example, always include your name, contact details (phone number and email address) and location. You don&rsquo;t need to include your full address here &ndash; just the town will do so the person reading has an idea of commute times for you to any vacancies they have. If you&rsquo;re looking to relocate, then include the city you are moving to.</p>\\n<p>Recruiters often need to copy and paste CVs into a specific template, so make things easy by sending it as a Word or Google document, rather than something complex such as a PDF. Avoid images and graphs as well &ndash; if there&rsquo;s really something visual which you want to draw attention to, then save it in a Dropbox or Google Drive folder and just provide the link to it. Even then, this type of thing is better left for the cover letter.</p>\\n<p>Naming is also an important yet underrated thing to think about. You&rsquo;ll probably have updated your CV on a regular basis (it&rsquo;s always useful to go back and check the whole document with fresh eyes for flow and cohesion). Plus, as mentioned earlier, it&rsquo;s good to have different versions for different types of jobs.</p>\\n<p>All this means that it&rsquo;s important you send the correct one for each application, so be careful with naming. Label each CV with your full name, the job title, the month and the year. For example, it could be: John Smith_Sustainability Lead_October 2022</p>\\n<p>Finally, try to avoid using too many abbreviations. While the recruiters you&rsquo;re sending your CV to are likely to be experts in the industry, some may not know what every abbreviation means. In fact, many abbreviations are specific to individual companies, so won&rsquo;t mean anything to the rest of the industry. Plus, having too many of these can be a sign of a rushed CV &ndash; and this isn&rsquo;t the impression you want to give.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;re on the lookout for a Sustainable Facilities Management role, congratulations! As mentioned at the very start of this blog, it&rsquo;s an exciting place to be. Hopefully these tips help you get your CV in the best shape &ndash; and at the top of a recruiter&rsquo;s list.&nbsp;</p>"},"country":{"en":["United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"In this blog, we\u2019ve rounded up some of the best advice from our various FM consultants, to help you put together a winning CV."},"url_slug":"the-recruiters-rule-book-for-sustainable-facilities-management-roles","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:06.815Z","updated_at":"2024-03-20T16:23:20.406Z"},{"id":"af02063d-80dc-4322-8984-31826eccc240","tag":{"en":["Construction","Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2021-9-6"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/2gj6hhoszzpar33unyjd5u3x7z7i"},"title":{"en":"How Facilities Management companies can deal with skills shortages"},"author":{"en":"Steve Dartnell"},"content":{"en":"<p>As the economy looks to bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic, one thing which is causing businesses in many sectors a headache is the skills shortage. This is undoubtedly true within Facilities Management, both in Hard and Soft services.<br><br>Recent research by The Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM) saw over a third of respondents say that a lack of skills had a negative impact on their business in the previous year and expect it to continue.<br><br>At the same time, the profile of the FM industry has increased somewhat. Although it was already a key contributor to the economy &ndash; accounting for over 7% of UK GDP - the focus on having COVID secure environments has shone a light on the role FM companies play. In addition, the continued push towards a better and cleaner environment means these companies will inevitably be on the frontline in the fight against climate change.<br><br>An increased profile is all well and good, but you need the talent to help fill the various needs. At Carbon60, we have over 2,000 workers in the field on a daily basis, so regularly deal with businesses across the FM industry. But in recent months, there&rsquo;s been a real increase in the number of companies who are approaching us and looking for ways to mitigate the skills shortage. It&rsquo;s no exaggeration to say this has become an area of real concern. At times like this, analysing and refining your labour supply chain is crucial.&nbsp;<br><br>With that in mind, I thought I&rsquo;d provide some top tips which will hopefully help you in this process.<br><br><br></p>\\n<h3>Select strategic partners over suppliers</h3>\\n<p>The big trend I&rsquo;m noticing is a preference for genuine recruitment partnerships. Companies now want strategic partners rather than just suppliers.&nbsp;<br><br>There&rsquo;s a big difference between the two.&nbsp;<br><br>A supplier will help you access talent and increase headcount &ndash; but that&rsquo;s where their remit normally ends.<br><br>A partner on the other hand, will look at what your strategic objectives are and align their offering to it. This will help you gain a competitive advantage, because hiring isn&rsquo;t just about sourcing talent &ndash; it needs to be the right talent for your needs. By choosing a smaller list of strategic partners you can be a more important client to them getting a better service and ultimately the right talent.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Another reason FM companies are now looking for partners is because of the candidate short market we&rsquo;re in. In times when supply is high and hiring managers have more options, you&rsquo;ll find your recruitment suppliers giving you the same level of service as their other clients.&nbsp;<br><br>But now, many recruitment companies have 3-5 vacancies to offer every available candidate. If you opt for the supplier approach, will you get the bespoke service that you need? There&rsquo;s no guarantee, whereas a long-term partnership ensures you&rsquo;re a priority.&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3>Choose sector specialists</h3>\\n<p>Taking a &lsquo;spray and pray&rsquo; approach and using generalists might work when the labour market isn&rsquo;t so tight &ndash; and even then, it&rsquo;s a very inefficient way of working &ndash; but now more than ever, it&rsquo;s important to go for recruitment partners who are specialists in your area. They should have a wealth of experience and a proven track record of dealing with candidates in that market.<br><br>I&rsquo;ve spoken to HR Directors who&rsquo;ve previously worked with generalist agencies and missed out on valuable market information. A classic example is salary and benefits benchmarking. They were convinced that their package was in line with the rest of the market, and only after missing out on good candidates did they realise this wasn&rsquo;t the case. Had they been working with specialists, this would have been flagged up ahead of time.<br><br

1><br></p>\\n<h3>Think broad</h3>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s crucial that your recruitment partners have a proper national presence.&nbsp; If you have multiple locations, then this should almost be a non-negotiable when deciding which recruitment company should fill your role. But even if you have just a handful of locations, it&rsquo;s still worth picking an agency that has a wider presence, as they&rsquo;ll be able to draw on a broader range of talent.&nbsp;<br><br>For example, in conjuction with <a href=\\"http://https//www.bluearrow.co.uk/\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">Blue Arrow</a> (our sister company who specilise in soft services), we have over 60 offices across the UK and a database of over half a million candidates. While a lot of our clients require us to serve them nationally, even those who have smaller requirements appreciate our ability to give them more options.<br><br>One question to ask any recruitment company is their average time-to-hire in your market. In times like this you&rsquo;ll have to cast your net wide and act quickly to get the best talent. The recruitment companies who already have an extensive network across the country are best placed to help you do this.<br><br><br></p>\\n<h3>Simplify the admin experience</h3>\\n<p>Something which isn&rsquo;t always thought about during the selection process is how easy the administrative side of things will be. The last thing you want is to be bogged down with unnecessary paperwork or have to jump through several hoops to get what you need.<br><br>Do a deep dive of your recruitment partner&rsquo;s back office. Do they have enough resource to meet your needs, and do you know exactly who needs to be contacted for different issues? Sometimes you may want an even simpler experience &ndash; we have some clients who want just a single point of contact for all their needs.<br><br>Simplicity is especially important if you&rsquo;re dealing with temporary or contract staff, as legislation in this area is constantly changing. Meanwhile many areas within Soft FM services are dealing with the red tape around Brexit. A good recruitment partner will have a handle on all this and ensure that precious HR hours aren&rsquo;t being taken up by bureaucracy.&nbsp;<br><br>You won&rsquo;t be able to fully mitigate the skills shortage &ndash; that\'s the unfortunate truth of the market. However, you can give yourself the best possible chance by making smart recruitment decisions. Now is actually the time to become selective with your supply chain. Engaging a specialist partner, with a wide reach and the ability to prioritise your needs, should be at the top of your list.&nbsp;<br><br>It may be a clich&eacute;, but less is more.&nbsp;</p>\\n<div>&nbsp;</div>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":null},"short_description":{"en":"As the economy looks to bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic, one thing which is causing businesses in many sectors a headache is the skills shortage."},"url_slug":"how-facilities-management-companies-can-deal-with-skills-shortages","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:06.246Z","updated_at":"2023-12-01T11:25:54.387Z"},{"id":"75bbb359-8db4-494f-978d-acb616683381","tag":{"en":["Follow Our Journey"]},"date":{"en":"2021-9-28"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/8ytxf2vifpae6fr35nihhjcyix3w"},"title":{"en":"Follow Our Journey Shaun Bradbury"},"author":{"en":"Marie Simmons"},"content":{"en":"<p class=\\"lead\\">Shaun Bradbury joined Carbon60 as a Resourcer in 2014. Just seven years on he&rsquo;s not only proud to be in the position of Recruitment Team Manager for their Solutions Business, but to be part of the Carbon60 family too. Here, he shares the details of his success.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<div class=\\"flex-video widescreen\\"><iframe src=\\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/I1h9dWXasU0\\" width=\\"640\\" height=\\"360\\" frameborder=\\"0\\"></iframe></div>\\n<p>Now responsible for managing part of the Solution&rsquo;s Division recruitment team, encompassing the company&rsquo;s technical and engineering accounts, plus MSPs in Saudi Arabia, Shaun began his journey in quite a different role.<br><br>He began by supporting on MSP contracts, helping to find candidates for&nbsp;big names such as John Lewis, working&nbsp; on a wide variety of technical and engineering roles. &ldquo;What I liked to do was just support other teams in the Aylesbury office&rdquo;, Shaun told us, &ldquo;So, I worked on a number of permanent roles for the perm team and supported the defence team too.&rdquo;&nbsp;<br><br>After making himself known to the defence team, an opportunity came up around a year after Shaun had joined the business. He explained, &ldquo;It really appealed to me, more so than the typical day-to-day resourcing. It also provided me with opportunity to progress, which I jumped on.&rdquo;<br><br>A couple of years on in the defence role and Shaun was able to bring in a couple of Resourcers. The team was going from strength to strength, increasing in headcount and partnering with top defence clients such as the MOD, Atkins and Airbus.&nbsp;<br><br>Next on Shaun&rsquo;s journey was an opportunity to manage the British Airways account. &ldquo;Due to multiple changes, which anyone in recruitment will know are common in the industry (you have to be very fluid), I was given the BA account,&rdquo; he says. Shaun was now responsible for a team of three and they became the leading supplier into British Airways. &ldquo;That was a fantastic achievement,&rdquo; explains Shaun, &ldquo;as a result they don&rsquo;

1t use any recruitment agency other than Carbon60 which is just brilliant.&rdquo; The outcome of the team&rsquo;s success was Shaun being made the Team Manager.<br><br>Shaun puts much of his success down to the support he&rsquo;s received from Carbon60. He shared with us that &ldquo;A lot for the support isn&rsquo;t linked to certifications or accreditations - most of the support is from the people in the business and particularly from some of those who&rsquo;ve been here for over twenty years. These people really do support you in learning the full end-to-end process of recruitment - running right through from resourcing, sourcing and business development to the backend and things such as compliance and payroll. There are real experts in our business who always take the time to teach you and develop your skills.&rdquo;<br><br>He goes on to explain that everyone who joins Carbon60 is put forward for the certified recruitment accreditation, CertRP.&nbsp;<br><br>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve also recently been put through the CMI Level 5 Leadership and Management qualification. It&rsquo;s the equivalent of two years at university&hellip;plus we get fancy letters as Chartered Manager next to our names!&rdquo; Shaun smiled. &ldquo;It was all funded by the business and it&rsquo;s really aided my development and understanding of Carbon60&rsquo;s wider strategic and holistic operations.&rdquo;<br><br>Shaun&rsquo;s also been on a number of workshops that have enabled him to learn from peers - from Director level to &lsquo;C&rsquo; level stakeholders within the Vertage portfolio. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s hugely benefitted my development - learning from people who&rsquo;ve &lsquo;got the t-shirt!&rsquo;&rdquo; It&rsquo;s called the Virtuoso Alliance and is a set of colleagues from all levels who get time as a group with the MD and CEO of Vertage, Julia Robertson. Shaun explained that Julia gets to hear what is really happening within individual business areas. He says &ldquo;It&rsquo;s paramount for change and it&rsquo;s fantastic she&rsquo;s given that time. We&rsquo;re already seeing changes. Most recently, the implementation of a new CRM, Bullhorn, which will be ready by the beginning of next year. There are major transformations in other areas too, so legal and compliance offerings and finance IT systems that will speed up processes.&rdquo;&nbsp;<br><br>When asked about his proudest achievements, Shaun told us he&rsquo;s proud of the development of his team. &ldquo;I think in any organisation it&rsquo;s vital to have a positive, clear and structured career path. To be able to start the journey with my team of Resourcers and develop them through the business to senior delivery consultants makes me proud.&nbsp; And, also to see how motivated they are by that challenge, and how dedicated and loyal they are to Carbon60.&rdquo;<br><br>Shaun adds &ldquo;As a team we&rsquo;ve had so many achievements; we&rsquo;re the sole supplier into British Airways off the back of our hard work. We&rsquo;re now the exclusive partner of global retail manufacturer, Dyson, and work with their managers directly. I&rsquo;m really proud of the relationship we&rsquo;ve built with those clients. To get the Carbon60 brand known by such huge businesses has been wonderful.&rdquo;<br><br></p>\\n<h3>Life at Carbon60</h3>\\n<p>We asked Shaun how he&rsquo;d describe working at Carbon60. He replied with three words: professional, fluid, motivating.&nbsp;<br><br>&lsquo;Professional&rsquo; because it&rsquo;s a business that delivers on its promises to candidates and clients. Shaun points out that it really is different from other recruitment companies, and lives by its vision of being &lsquo;the most trusted supplier of talent.&rsquo;<br><br>&lsquo;Fluid&rsquo; due to the amount of change in the recruitment world. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t put people in silos, I allow them to be fluid in the way they work. I&rsquo;d rather keep them motivated and agile, so roles don&rsquo;t go stale or monotonous,&rdquo; he reveals.<br><br>And &lsquo;motivating&rsquo; due to the mature approach taken to how people work. Shaun defines Carbon60 as having a flexible attitude towards working and a real work/life balance. &ldquo;During COVID&rdquo;, he explained, &ldquo;we saw and heard from our leaders daily and weekly. They showed so much resilience and faith in the people that work here. Any senior director that fronts up and is willing to listen is an organisation you want to be part of. And that&rsquo;s something that within Carbon60 that the management team does very well.&rdquo;<br><br>Shaun went on to describe how the family feel that Carbon60&rsquo;s well known for has been hard to maintain throughout COVID. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s been difficult over the past 18 months to have that true sense of family when we haven&rsquo;t been able to see each other face to face. But I&rsquo;ve no doubt that when we&rsquo;

1re back to full offices again we&rsquo;ll have that family environment once more. In terms of my team, the word &lsquo;family&rsquo; really does ring true - everyone&rsquo;s open, honest and is willing to support each other on any personal and professional matters.&rdquo;<br><br>And Shaun&rsquo;s message to anyone looking join Carbon60? &ldquo;If you really want to do well, it has to come from you. But, if you&rsquo;re willing to learn new skills and develop, Carbon60 will give you the backing, the training, the coaching, and the support in assisting you in getting where you want to get to. It&rsquo;s definitely a business you can succeed in.&rdquo; Shaun&rsquo;s success story is testament to that, and he urges anyone looking for a new role to contact him via LinkedIn for a confidential chat.</p>"},"cta_link":{"en":""},"featured":{"en":""},"cta_title":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"external_campaign":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Follow the journey of Shaun Bradbury, Recruitment Team Leader at Carbon60."},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"featured_on_navigation":{"en":""},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"follow-our-journey-shaun-bradbury","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:05.255Z","updated_at":"2026-09-28T13:32:50.692Z"},{"id":"437587b7-ea77-4ea8-95bd-40fa1c57100c","tag":{"en":["Follow Our Journey"]},"date":{"en":"2021-8-16"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/4h1rhpn0hmg7hjmzg57qqw1jbjlm"},"title":{"en":"Follow Our Journey Samantha Roberts"},"author":{"en":"Marie Simmons"},"content":{"en":"<p>When Samantha Roberts joined Carbon60 as a Security Administrator, she never imagined that some years on she&rsquo;d be part of the senior leadership team.

Whether it&rsquo;s technological advances, shifts in customer behaviour, or the &lsquo;new normal&rsquo;, your success will depend on having the right people in place.</p>\\n<p>The use of contingent workers has been rapidly growing over the years, and the demand is set to accelerate. In a recent study by McKinsey, 70% of business leaders said they were planning on hiring more contingent workers after the COVID-19 pandemic than they did before.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>The knock-on effect is increased pressure on businesses to manage their expanding contingent workforce. It&rsquo;s why partnering with a Managed Service Provider (MSP) is becoming a popular option. By using an expert third party to take on the responsibility for your contingent workforce programme, you can gain a better oversight, whilst reducing the demands on your own teams.</p>\\n<p>Here, we look at some of the main benefits of teaming up with an MSP.</p>\\n<h3>1) Operational and cost control</h3>\\n<p>When you engage an MSP, the decision of what gets managed by them and what stays in-house is completely yours. This allows you to outsource the tasks which are more repetitive and time consuming, whilst still having managerial responsibility for the service. It becomes a win-win situation, as you and your team can focus on things that add greater value to the business, without losing control of what matters.<br><br>You will also find significant cost savings by using an MSP. Their pricing models are more predictable (for example outcome-based pricing), and third-party recruitment fees will also decrease.&nbsp;<br><br>Finally, your supply chain will become much more efficient, as all contractor and supplier engagement is done through one single provider. This not only saves you time, but many MSPs will reduce the number of suppliers in your network, therefore bringing costs down even more.</p>\\n<h3>2) Global talent pipelines</h3>\\n<p>If your business operates in multiple countries, or if you&rsquo;re about to expand heavily, your talent pipeline needs to be global. This can be a challenge, and is one of the reasons organisations like to partner with an MSP that also operates globally. They will have the ability to attract and retain the best people in all of your locations, as well as valuable local know-how.&nbsp;<br><br>This last point is especially important as each country has its own labour laws and working culture. Rather than you having to get to grips with each one individually, you can allow the MSP to use their on-the-ground expertise.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3>3) Access to cutting-edge technology</h3>\\n<p>

1When it comes to recruitment technology, things are constantly evolving. Internal recruitment teams are either not aware of the latest tools, or unable to purchase them. This is because investing in single-use technology is not commercially viable for most businesses.&nbsp;<br><br>An MSP on the other hand, will have access to all of these tools and will use it for your talent acquisition needs. Not only does this give you an edge over your competitors, but it means you get the benefits of the technology without having to invest your own capital.</p>\\n<h3>4) Agility</h3>\\n<p>As mentioned earlier, change is a constant challenge, and this means agility is key. When the market shifts, you need to shift with it and adapt your recruitment accordingly. An MSP will have the experience and ability to not only guide you in the right direction, but actually take the actions required. This means that even in highly competitive markets, you can attract the talent that&rsquo;s best for you, at the exact time you need it.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3>5) Flexibility</h3>\\n<p>When it comes to hiring, there can be peaks and troughs throughout the year. One of the reasons businesses look for an MSP is because they can scale the programme up or down depending on their hiring needs. It&rsquo;s far more difficult to do this if everything is kept in-house, or if you&rsquo;re trying to work with multiple agencies on a piecemeal basis. But an MSP will see themselves as a partner rather than a supplier, so will always be able to provide that flexibility.</p>\\n<h3>6) Visibility</h3>\\n<p>As touched upon earlier, using an MSP allows you to outsource parts of the programme without losing control. Part of this control relates to visibility &ndash; you will always want full oversight of your contingent workforce. Most MSPs will provide you with a bespoke Vendor Management System (VMS). This means you can keep a handle on all the key metrics and build a better workforce strategy.</p>\\n<h3>7) Best practice methods</h3>\\n<p>Just in the last few years, many HR teams have had to deal with the complexities of Brexit, IR35 and the COVID-19 furlough scheme. It can become a bit of a bureaucratic nightmare, but partnering with an MSP give you access to experts in all legislative and governance requirements. This gives you the peace of mind that your business is fully compliant. Quite often, the MSP will also offer to train and educate your team on upcoming changes.</p>\\n<h3>8) Employer branding expertise</h3>\\n<p>With so much demand for contingent and flexible workers, you need to make sure you&rsquo;re appealing to the best talent on the market. This is particularly important in a post-pandemic world, as the needs and expectations of candidates have changed.&nbsp;<br>A good MSP can work with you, as well as any of your suppliers, to develop a strong employer brand and Employee Value Proposition (EVP). This is an end-to-end process, from research into what candidates want, right through to practical recruitment marketing strategies.</p>\\n<h3>The key takeaway</h3>\\n<p>Engaging with an MSP is a win-win for any business that has a substantial temporary workforce. It provides control without overwhelming your resources, and allows you to access high-class expertise in a cost efficient way.&nbsp;<br><br>Finding an MSP that can become a strategic partner is key to attracting, onboarding and retaining quality contingency workers. Get this right, and your business will be well positioned for success.</p>\\n<div>&nbsp;</div>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"With the use of contingent workers growing rapidly an MSP can help position you for success."},"url_slug":"why-should-you-work-with-a-managed-services-provider","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:07.448Z","updated_at":"2024-03-22T15:51:33.880Z"},{"id":"e174042e-f86c-460e-87d6-759469160712","tag":{"en":["Engineering","Recruitment","Career Advice"]},"date":{"en":"2021-7-20"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/swmrdr5w5iaezclzvl0neldtbst8"},"title":{"en":"Should location affect engineering salaries?"},"author":{"en":"James Spurling"},"content":{"en":"<p>As countless organisations have now proved, it <em>is </em>possible to adapt and undergo digital transformation to enable many roles, and even certain roles previously considered possible only in a face-to-face environment, to be successfully fulfilled from any location.</p>\\n<p>As remote working has become the norm for millions of workers in light of the pandemic, questions surrounding the relevance of geographical pay differences have unsurprisingly surfaced.</p>\\n<p>Where jobs can be realised from anywhere in the country, or even anywhere in the world, are differences in pay because of where you&rsquo;re based becoming as unethical as, for instance, gender pay differences?</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s these kinds of questions that led me to think about our own industry. As Operations Director for our Engineering business, I recognise that the majority of our workers have in fact been in the minority throughout the crisis &ndash; the nature of their roles means they haven&rsquo;t been able to work remotely at all. For many, it&rsquo;s been business as usual.</p>\\n<p>So, I wanted to explore, in an industry where remote working isn&rsquo;t ever likely to be an option for most - even amid a pandemic - should location <em>ever </em>have a bearing on engineering salaries?</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>What are engineers earning?</strong></h2>\\n<p>Within our business, we regularly carry out salary surveys to identify any similarities and variances in pay rates across different categories. These include, but are not limited to location, years of experience, sectors, and disciplines.</p>\\n<p>We recently collated information to provide insight on four main disciplines: electrical maintenance engineers, mechanical design engineers, project engineers and quality engineers.</p>\\n<p>As may be expected, there were some slight variations in rates of pay between the different disciplines, with project engineers earning an average of &pound;2k-&pound;5k more than the other engineering specialisms. Electrical engineers appeared to receive salaries that were generally at the lower end of the four. <strong>But the most obvious and greatest inconsistencies in salary were due to the region in which the engineers were based.</strong></p>\\n<p>Perhaps expectedly, and as is common across most sectors and industries, those based in London, regardless of their specialism, were enjoying the best rates of pay. In our business currently, we see higher salaries not just in London, but also on the South Coast. But however, there&rsquo;s an argument to suggest that these southern locations are generally where a lot of the required skillsets are based, and costs of living are higher in both.</p>\\n<p>Electrical maintenance engineers based in the Northwest further stood out as receiving some of the top salaries, as did quality engineers in the East of England.</p>\\n<p>Consistently displaying some of the lowest rates across all disciplines were those engineers in regions including the West Midlands, East Midlands, Wales, and the Southwest.</p>\\n<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>\\n<h2><strong>What&rsquo;s the average cost of living in the UK?</strong></h2>\\n<p>Data released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) for the financial year ending 2019, showed that the average cost of living in the UK was &pound;592 per week<sup>1</sup> for a single person. (Stats do not include mortgage interest payments or council tax.) Whilst another source, Numbeo, calculates the average cost of living for a family of four as &pound;2,270.48 per month, again this is exclusive of rent.</p>\\n<p>Further research also carried out by the ONS on regional variances confirms that the highest costs of living relate to London. Prices in the capital are on average 7% higher<sup>3</sup> than the rest of the UK for certain goods and services. This figure however does not relate to food and non-alcoholic beverages, where, according to the ONS, there is little difference in price between each of the country&rsquo;s regions.</p>\\n<p>Costs do vary significantly though when considering expenditure relating to re

1creation &amp; culture or restaurants &amp; hotels. The same piece of research highlights that those costs are on average 14.8% and 13% higher respectively when comparing the same goods and services against the remainder of the UK.</p>\\n<p>In contrast, Wales&rsquo; costs for recreation &amp; culture and restaurants &amp; hotels are revealed as being around 1.5% lower than the UK average<sup>3</sup>.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>Which regions have the most disposable income?</strong></h2>\\n<p>When looking at disposable income, the ONS illustrates in an additional report that regions such as the Northeast, Yorkshire and Wales have some of the lowest percentages of disposable income<sup>4</sup>.</p>\\n<p>Both East and West Midlands, along with the Northwest follow closely as having considerably less disposable income available to them than areas featuring highly on the list such as the Southwest and Scotland. And, even London, which despite offering relatively high rates of pay, and topping the list when it comes to the cost of living, manages to take first place for the most disposable income too.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>In conclusion</strong></h2>\\n<p>When considering data from the ONS and our own engineering salary survey, it appears that engineers in some locations <em>could</em> be losing out. Areas costing the most to live in, do normally offer the higher salaries, but the amounts of available disposable income do not always align.</p>\\n<p>In an era where remote working is at an all-time high for many industries, could we see the gap between salaries in differing regions closing? And should this aligning of pay rates also be applicable to the engineering industry, despite remote working not always being a viable option for many?</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to remember though, that the term &lsquo;engineering&rsquo; is broad. Working remotely is more commonly seen amongst engineers working in research, development, or sales, whereas service and repair professionals will always need to work &lsquo;on site&rsquo; and in person, regardless of their seniority.</p>\\n<p>What I&rsquo;m seeing in our business at the moment is three types of roles we&rsquo;re recruiting for &ndash; those relocating or looking for a career move, those who are office based and those who want to work in a hybrid role.</p>\\n<p>We recruit for each quite differently and asking if there&rsquo;s a need for a role to be office/site based has become a key part of the information gathering process for building an accurate job specification.</p>\\n<p>With this in mind, I&rsquo;d argue it&rsquo;s personal skills that are more pertinent to someone&rsquo;s salary, rather than the location in which they&rsquo;re based.</p>\\n<p>Should engineering salaries be the same regardless of geographical location? Or should an individual&rsquo;s skill set be the predominant factor in any salary differences? It&rsquo;s a hot topic in our industry currently, so let me know your thoughts.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Sources&nbsp;</p>\\n<ol>\\n<li><a href=\\"https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/expenditure/bulletins/familyspendingintheuk/april2018tomarch2019\\">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/expenditure/bulletins/familyspendingintheuk/april2018tomarch2019</a>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n</li>\\n<li><a href=\\"https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=United+Kingdom\\">https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=United+Kingdom</a>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n</li>\\n<li><a href=\\"https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/articles/relativeregionalconsumerpricelevelsuk/2016\\">https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/articles/relativeregionalconsumerpricelevelsuk/2016</a>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n</li>\\n<li><a href=\\"https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/regionalaccounts/grossdisposablehouseholdincome/bulletins/regionalgrossdisposablehouseholdincomegdhi/1997to2018\\">https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/regionalaccounts/grossdisposablehouseholdincome/bulletins/regionalgrossdisposablehouseholdincomegdhi/1997to2018</a></li>\\n</ol>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>"},"country":{"en":["United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"In an industry where remote working isn\u2019t ever likely to be an option for most - even amid a pandemic - should location ever have a bearing on engineering salaries?"}

There used to be a time when outsourcing elements of your business to external providers was frowned upon, but it&rsquo;s now regarded as a routine and common sense option.</p>\\n<p>One area that tends to get outsourced is recruitment. It makes sense &ndash; the growth of any business depends on having the right people in place, so the recruitment process is key.</p>\\n<p>But how do you know when the right time is to reach out to experts and outsource your recruitment? Here are six red flags that might tell you.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>Flag 1: You&rsquo;re wasting valuable time and money</strong></h2>\\n<p>In an ideal world, you&rsquo;d hire the best people as quickly as possible - especially in a competitive market &ndash; while also keeping recruitment costs down. It&rsquo;s not always easy to achieve in practice though.</p>\\n<p>Many businesses miss out on good people because of a lengthy time-to-hire process, which means they have spent time and money without the talent to show for it. On the other hand, some try to go for a quick and cheap solution, but this usually costs more in the long run due to inefficiencies or poor hires.</p>\\n<p>Outsourcing your recruitment allows you to save both time and money, which is often the number one reason this model is used. A good provider will have the market expertise you need, allowing you to concentrate on running your business, rather than screening CVs or managing various agencies.</p>\\n<p>They will also have a number of solutions to restructure the recruitment process and reduce your costs &ndash; whether it&rsquo;s streamlining supply chains and job boards, or increasing the number of direct hires through their talent pipelines.</p>\\n<p>The quality of their hires should also mean a decrease in staff turnover, saving you further time and money.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>Flag 2: Your internal team are struggling with peaks and troughs</strong></h2>\\n<p>Many organisations have busy and quiet periods for recruitment &ndash; perhaps because the business model is based on seasonal fluctuations, or its needs can change throughout the year. Often this can leave internal recruitment teams with very little to do, before all of a sudden they are hit with a large volume of vacancies.</p>\\n<p>This could mean that at peak times, when they&rsquo;re struggling with the load, candidate quality drops and time-to-hire increases. Alternatively, the quiet periods can leave them feeling demotivated and disengaged.</p>\\n<p>Outsourcing is the perfect solution for businesses in this situation. It offers scalability - the ability to flex delivery teams up or down, based on your hiring needs. It means you have the peace of mind that any spikes in hiring demand can be met, without inefficiencies on your own payroll.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>Flag 3: You&rsquo;re not making use of data</strong></h2>\\n<p>Every time you hire someone, there is a wealth of information that should be getting picked up along the way and analysed. This will help you with future decision making and highlight any areas to improve. If you&rsquo;re not doing this &ndash; either due to time constraints, or because you lack the expertise &ndash; your recruitment outsourcing partner can help.</p>\\n<p>This is a highly underrated benefit of outsourcing to an expert. They are able to offer real-time reporting and detailed insight on everything recruitment related. Ultimately, this will improve the quality of your recruitment process, and help you achieve business objectives faster.</p>\\n<p>In addition, your outsourcing partner will have access to external market data, which will give you a better idea of what candidates want in terms of salary, benefits and more.</p>\\n<p>We live in a data-driven age, and if you don&rsquo;t think you&rsquo;re making the most of what&rsquo;s available, outsourcing your recruitment should be a strong consideration.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>Flag 4: Your talent acquisition is reactive rather than proactive</strong></h2>\\n<p>Workforce planning is one of the main building blocks of a good recruitment strategy. If you&rsquo;re constantly reacting to requirements and trying to meet deadlines, you may struggle to get the right quality of candidate on a consistent basis.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s understandable why this slips off the radar though. Planning for the future takes an incredible amount of resources and knowledge. How do you predict the type of talent you&rsquo;ll need a few years down the line? Will the skills you currently have be enough or will the market have changed rapidly?</p>\\n<p>This is where recruitment outsourcing comes into its own. Your outsourcing partner will have a specific remit which includes analysing your requirements and any skills gaps you could have. They can anticipate what will be needed, and will focus on building strong talent pipelines for you &ndash; covering the short, medium and long-term.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>Flag 5: The quality of candidates isn&rsquo;t up to your standards</strong></h2>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>

1Are you constantly finding yourself having to make up for bad hires? Perhaps you&rsquo;re experiencing regular dropouts, leading to you choosing a candidate who wasn&rsquo;t your first choice?</p>\\n<p>The business impact of this can&rsquo;t be underestimated. Not only is it unsustainable from a cost perspective, but it also drains the time of your hiring managers and the morale of your employees.</p>\\n<p>When you outsource your recruitment, one of the first things your provider will do is audit your existing processes. This will cover everything from the way you source, screen and interview candidates, to the technology systems you&rsquo;re using. They will even interview existing employees.</p>\\n<p>Sometimes a bad hire can be down to the candidate not being a good personality fit, rather than lacking the skills. One of the benefits of outsourcing your recruitment is the presence of a dedicated business partner who will embed themselves within your organisation. This is not simply an Account Manager &ndash; they will be based onsite and see themselves as an extension of your HR department. This allows them to get an idea of your culture, and therefore make the right hires.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2><strong>Flag 6: Your processes no longer feel fresh</strong></h2>\\n<p>The recruitment market is ever-evolving and methods that worked well just a couple of years ago can quickly become stale and outdated.</p>\\n<p>Internal teams dealing with the usual daily challenges of their job may find it difficult to keep up with the newest trends and tools. Those that do, still find it hard to get budget for new innovations, which are sometimes seen as &lsquo;risky&rsquo;.</p>\\n<p>Outsourcing recruitment allows businesses to keep their finger on the pulse. Many outsourcing companies will give you access to market insight at no extra cost, while the best ones will also provide things like whitepapers, and seminars with key industry figures.</p>\\n<p>Crucially, they also constantly invest in new tools for sourcing candidates, and will provide this to you. This means your processes stay fresh, without you having to commit to the investment.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Outsourcing your recruitment is an established way to improve results, free up your resources, and reduce costs. While trying to keep everything in-house is a natural inclination, it can end up being quite damaging in the long run. If you feel like some of the warning signs above apply to you, then it may be time to reach out to specialists.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":null},"short_description":{"en":"How to know the right time to start outsourcing your recruitment."},"url_slug":"six-signs-that-its-time-to-outsource-your-recruitment","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:06.465Z","updated_at":"2023-12-01T12:13:24.894Z"},{"id":"bc098e0c-994c-4a4a-98f6-77e9dd6b8772","tag":{"en":["Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2021-6-10"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/6354ppz82c3rc8l735uty3a87c2a"},"title":{"en":"Using employer branding to boost your recruitment process"},"author":{"en":"Marie Simmons"},"content":{"en":"<p>Several aspects of the recruitment process have changed over the years, for both employers and candidates. In many sectors, one of the biggest changes for candidates has been the increase in choices available to them. This has had a knock on effect for employers.</p>\\n<p>With so much competition for the best candidates, using traditional recruitment methods is no longer enough, while it also takes more than just a good salary to attract and retain people. Businesses now need to promote themselves in the best possible light to candidates.</p>\\n<p>This is commonly known as employer branding. By showcasing your culture, benefits and ways of working, you can position yourself as an attractive place to work. The likes of Google and Apple are commonly mentioned as desirable employers, and it&rsquo;s not just because of their business success, but their Employee Value Proposition (EVP). Meanwhile, data from LinkedIn suggests that companies with a strong employer brand see 50% more qualified applicants.</p>\\n<p>This makes it a critical part of your recruitment process, and one of the fundamentals of your overall business strategy. You&rsquo;d do everything you can to build an appealing brand that brings in customers &ndash; why not pay the same attention to candidates?</p>\\n<p>Of course, employer branding isn&rsquo;t a magic bullet solution for all of your talent acquisition needs, but it certainly plays a big part. Here are just some of the ways it can benefit you.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Attracting top talent </strong></h3>\\n<p>More and more candidates want to work for a company that aligns with their values. By marketing your business in the right way, you will get them coming to you. Think about employer branding in a similar way to storytelling &ndash; you have to let people know what you do, what you stand for and what it&rsquo;s like to work for you.</p>\\n<p>Authenticity is key &ndash; communicate your mission, vision and values in a way that&rsquo;s real and believable.</p>\\n<p>A big part of employer branding is using the right channels to tell your story. For example, Millennials and Generation Z make up a big part of the workforce, and will continue to do so. These groups are highly active on social media platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn, so use them to promote your employer brand. Things like employee stories or behind the scenes snapshots of your business always go down well.</p>\\n<p>Some companies also incorporate these channels into the actual candidate journey. For example, they use social media to build connections and have conversations with potential hires, making it a two way conversation rather than pure promotion.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Saving time&hellip;.</strong></h3>\\n<p>A strong employer brand will mean a bigger pipeline of talent is available to you, perhaps following you on social media, or having registered on your website. This means you can actually start the process of screening and vetting candidates earlier, and begin interviewing almost as soon as you have a vacancy.</p>\\n<p>In addition, candidates who you reach out to are likely to respond to hiring managers or recruiters a lot sooner, as they will already be familiar with your brand.</p>\\n<p>All of this speeds up the recruitment process, reducing your time-to-fill. In such a competitive market, this could be the difference between bringing in a top tier candidate, and losing them to another company.</p>\\n<h3><strong>&hellip;.and money</strong></h3>\\n<p>A quicker process also means you can fill more roles in a short period of time, bringing down your cost per hire &ndash; and this isn&rsquo;t the only financial saving.</p>\\n<p>Having an attractive employer brand also means you need to spend less money on recruitment marketing and other hiring process. In some cases, you may even be able to get a candidate on a lower salary than expected if they&rsquo;re eager to join.</p>\\n<p>After all, research from Talent Now shows that 50% of candidates wouldn&rsquo;t work for a company with a bad reputation, even for a pay rise. So while your budget may only stretch to a figure that&rsquo;s lower than a competitor, having a better reputation may just tip the scales in your favour.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Increasing staff retention</strong></h3>\\n<p>The employer brand isn&rsquo;t just about new candidates and their perception of you. It also incorporates the employee experience &ndash; in other words, how your existing staff feel about you.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s difficult to position yourself as a desirable employer if people are constantly leaving. That&rsquo;s why a solid employer brand strategy has to take the employee experience into account. This starts from onboarding &ndash; the first 100 days in particular are key. Make sure staff buy into your culture and values and are staying engaged. Attrition can always be a problem for organisations, but if you create a good working environment, this can be prevented.</p>\\n<p>Don&rsquo;t forget that existing employees are the ones who offer the most reliable insight into what working for you is actually like. They could be your biggest advocates, but also do the most damage to your employer brand. Social media and dedicated employee review websites such as Glassdoor have made it easier than ever for employees to tell people about your business, so ensure you create a positive experience at all times.</p>\\n<p>If you get this part of your employer brand right, you will naturally find your staff becoming ambassadors. Not only will they stay with the company, but they&rsquo;ll recommend you to others &ndash; further increasing your pipeline and reducing recruitment costs.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Building trust with customers</strong></h3>\\n<p>Good recruitment leads to good business. There&rsquo;s a famous Richard Branson quote that&rsquo;s often used when talking about this subject:</p>\\n<p>&ldquo;<em>Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.</em>&rdquo;</p>\\n<p>The reason it&rsquo;s often used is because it&rsquo;s true. The success of a business depends on having talent and motivated people working within it. Focusing on your employer brand will help you attract the best people, and keep them engaged. This will translate into a better experience for your customers, and increase your credibility with them.</p>\\n<p>One common factor which links all of the best employer brands, is a focus on people. The days of being able to attract candidates with just a good s

1alary and pension are gone. Things like work-life balance, company culture and employee wellbeing are big priorities for candidates, and should be for businesses too. This then needs to be communicated to them in the right way, using the right channels.</p>\\n<p>The employer brand was once seen as a nice-to-have, or an expensive addition to traditional recruitment. But with so many companies fighting for the same talent, and the needs of candidates also changing, it&rsquo;s now an essential part of your recruitment toolkit.</p>\\n<p>If you would like to know more about how Carbon60 can help with your employer branding, <a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/contact-us\\">please get in touch.&nbsp;</a></p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"By showcasing your culture, benefits and ways of working, you can position yourself as an attractive place to work, helping to attract top talent, save time & money in your recruitment process."},"url_slug":"using-employer-branding-to-boost-your-recruitment-process","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:07.338Z","updated_at":"2024-02-16T13:32:09.108Z"},{"id":"0ef035fa-18c2-4677-b559-96ccb564b63f","tag":{"en":["Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2021-5-20"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/wx4gtoc2nbqg4lyv6pvf0pabktfx"},"title":{"en":"What is executive search and how does it differ from other recruitment models"},"author":{"en":"Matt Roach"},"content":{"en":"<p>As specialists within the Engineering and Technical markets, we work with a range of different businesses, and it&rsquo;s abundantly clear why so many of them are choosing the executive search route. When you think about the well-documented skills shortage within this sector, combined with the demand for people who can really accelerate business growth, it makes sense to go for a highly specialised service.</p>\\n<p>That said, at times people can misunderstand what executive search is. Often, the term gets used interchangeably with &lsquo;recruitment&rsquo;. Both terms do relate to the art of hiring, but executive search is a very different model.</p>\\n<p>To provide some clarity, we&rsquo;ve put together an overview of executive search, and the differences compared to traditional recruitment. This is also a way for you to analyse which solution could work for your business.</p>\\n<h3><strong>What is executive search?</strong></h3>\\n<p>Executive search is a highly specialised service, used when companies need talent that&rsquo;s hard to find. Often this is for senior level roles, such as Vice Presidents, Directors or Chief Operating Officers. Alternatively, it may be because the role is in a niche sector where the candidate pool is small. Either way, these are high-impact and strategically important roles.</p>\\n<p>This is where executive search comes in.&nbsp; Unlike other recruitment models (such as contingency recruitment), it involves a highly bespoke and targeted approach. Your executive search partners will have industry expertise and a proven track record of sourcing hard-to-find people. They&rsquo;ll also have a strong network of contacts, and the ability to conduct searches in a highly confidential manner.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s more than just hiring as well. Executive search consultants offer a range of other bespoke talent related services. Examples include market mapping, employer branding, benefits analysis and Diversity &amp; Inclusion advice. Many businesses go down this route because they need the extra expertise to build out their hiring strategy.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Is executive search the same as headhunting?</strong></h3>\\n<p>Headhunting is another word used interchangeably with executive search, but the two aren&rsquo;t the same. Headhunting is actually one of the techniques used during a search.</p>\\n<p>Put simply, it&rsquo;s when your executive search partner identifies and approaches a passive candidate &ndash; someone who&rsquo;d be a good fit for the position, but isn\'t actively looking for a new role.</p>\\n<p>Headhunting plays a part in executive search, but there\'s a lot more to the process.</p>\\n<h3><strong>What about a retained search?</strong></h3>\\n<p>Retained search is when you have a consultant working on an exclusive basis to fill your role. Many companies like this exclusivity, knowing that they&rsquo;ll have someone completely dedicated to their vacancy.</p>\\n<p>To secure this, an up-front fee (known as the &lsquo;retainer&rsquo;) is paid. There are then normally two additional payments &ndash; one when a shortlist of candidates has been provided (you can specify how many people need to be on the shortlist), and then a final payment when a candidate has been placed.</p>\\n<p>Some agencies may operate on a fixed-fee basis, where they receive a specified amount if they can fill the role within an agreed timeframe.</p>\\n<h3><strong>How would a retained executive search actually work?</strong></h3>\\n<p>When using a retained executive search agency, the service you&rsquo;ll get will be bespoke. Think of them as partners rather than suppliers.</p>\\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve finalised the agreement and paid the retainer fee, the executive search consultant will have detailed conversations with you to find out what you want from the candidate.</p>\\n<p>This isn&rsquo;t just about a simple job description. They will want a full picture of your needs, your Employee Value Proposition (EVP), and crucially, the type of person you want. This is important because if someone is being hired in a business-critical role, you&rsquo;ll want them to fit in from a cultural point of view. An executive search consultant will sometimes use psych

1ometric testing or other profiling tools, to see how aligned a candidate is with your values and how likely they are to stay for the long-term.</p>\\n<p>Because this is an exclusive agreement, they can dedicate maximum resources into filling the role, both in terms of their time and the tools they&rsquo;ll use to analyse the market and reach out to quality candidates. Usually, these candidates won&rsquo;t be actively seeking opportunities, so they wouldn&rsquo;t register on your radar, or that of a traditional recruiter. Executive search teams on the other hand, will have the network and tools to find them, as well as the track record to engage them in a discussion.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Should I use retained executive search for my business?</strong></h3>\\n<p>This depends on the type of role you are hiring for. There are normally some key factors you should consider when deciding what type of agency to use for your hiring needs.</p>\\n<ul style=\\"list-style-type: disc;\\">\\n<li><strong>Candidate pool size</strong><br>If the type of talent you&rsquo;re looking for is readily available, you should go to a traditional recruitment provider. If it&rsquo;s hard to find, then executive search is a better option. <br><br></li>\\n<li><strong>Sensitivity of recruitment </strong><br>In some cases, a candidate search needs to be confidential. This may be because you&rsquo;ll need to hire someone from a competitor, or because the person in your role currently is leaving and you don&rsquo;t want the news to leak. In this scenario, executive search is your best bet.</li>\\n<li><strong>Geographical spread</strong><br>Are you looking for someone purely from the UK, or is the search more global? If it&rsquo;s the latter, opt for executive search. <br><br></li>\\n<li><strong>Market data</strong><br>If you&rsquo;re not sure about the typical compensation and benefits packages in the market, a search team will be able to provide you with this data.<br><br></li>\\n<li><strong>Time-critical</strong><br>Do you need to find someone urgently? As mentioned earlier, a retained executive search agreement means you have a dedicated consultant, so this may be a good option for you.<br><br></li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>Ultimately, the quality of your hires will determine the growth of your business. That&rsquo;s why choosing the right recruitment model and partner is so important. By analysing your business needs, you can make an informed decision and increase your chances of landing the right talent.</p>\\n<h3><strong>SEARCH by Carbon60</strong></h3>\\n<p>Our STEM focused search offering combines the technical expertise of Carbon60, Lorien &amp; SRG to offer a data-led approach that delivers much more than just a list of CVs.</p>\\n<ul style=\\"list-style-type: disc;\\">\\n<li>SEARCH BY CARBON60 &ndash; offering senior technical hires within the product lifecycle.</li>\\n<li>SEARCH BY LORIEN &ndash; Digital, transformation &amp; technical recruitment.</li>\\n<li>SEARCH BY SRG &ndash; Scientific, Technical &amp;&nbsp;Operations, Commercial,&nbsp;Medical &amp; Clinical Development, AI, Machine Learning and Bioinformatics.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>Specialising in your niche we can help you to attract and retain the right talent with:</p>\\n<p>Find out more here: <a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/employers\\">Our Solutions</a></p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"In recent years, executive search has become a popular option for employers looking to hire top talent.

There&rsquo;s certainly a lot of work that goes into the process &ndash; preparing your CV, searching for the right roles, applying for them, and of course interviewing.</p>\\n<p>Once you get an offer at the end of it though, it can all feel worthwhile. There&rsquo;s also a great sense of pride and validation, knowing that an employer recognises your abilities.</p>\\n<p>However, the next step can sometimes feel as tricky as anything that&rsquo;s gone before it. It&rsquo;s not always a case of accepting an offer within minutes of receiving it. There&rsquo;s lots of things to think about, and in this blog we&rsquo;ll go through some of them.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3>Knowing if the job is right for you</h3>\\n<p>This is usually the first question that will pop into your head. It&rsquo;s something that will probably have been bubbling away throughout the process, but comes to the forefront when you actually receive an offer.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Knowing the answer to this isn&rsquo;t always easy &ndash; every new job is a step into the unknown &ndash; but there are some things you can do to help you make the right decision.</p>\\n<p>Draw up a list of what you were looking for in your next job, and see how many boxes this role ticks. Key things to consider are:</p>\\n<h3>Compensation</h3>\\n<p>Analyse exactly what you&rsquo;ll be taking home after tax each month. There are some useful online tools that can help you with this, such as the ones offered by The Salary Calculator or MoneySavingExpert. It&r

1squo;s important to not just look at the top line salary though. Pay attention to any benefits you&rsquo;re getting too, as these all contribute to your total reward package. Things like subsidised travel, shopping discounts or private medical insurance can have a massive impact on your life and finances.</p>\\n<h3>Working hours</h3>\\n<p>What hours or shift patterns does this job entail, and does that fit with your needs? Some jobs may have set hours, but require you to work outside of these on a regular basis. Check this and decide whether it works for you.</p>\\n<h3>Location</h3>\\n<p>Consider how far you would have to travel in order to get to your workplace, and whether this is reasonable for you.Is there a lot of additional travel involved, for things like client meetings or site visits? Also check what the company&rsquo;s level of flexibility is with regards to remote working. This is a hot topic right now, and many businesses are starting to offer hybrid or fully remote working models, where you can work from home for part of the week or even full-time. Of course, this depends on the nature of your work &ndash; if you&rsquo;re on a construction site for example, working from home won&rsquo;t be an option.</p>\\n<p>Either way, make sure you are happy with what is being offered and your work-life balance won&rsquo;t feel compromised.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3>Job duties</h3>\\n<p>You should have gleaned this during the application process &ndash; both on the job advert and through the questions you asked in the interview. Note these down and ask yourself if you&rsquo;ll enjoy the tasks you&rsquo;ll do. Will the work stimulate you and will it add value to your CV?&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Ideally you want to pick up some new skills and experience, as this will enhance your CV and help when looking for your next role &ndash; either within the same company or outside it. That leads us nicely onto the next thing to consider.</p>\\n<h3>Career progression</h3>\\n<p>This is something else you should have picked up during the interview, but don&rsquo;t be afraid to speak to the hiring manager again to clarify.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Are there opportunities for you to advance within the company? You don&rsquo;t want to be in a position where you feel like you&rsquo;ve outgrown your role in under a year. Look at how many people within the business &ndash; especially in your department &ndash; have moved up. This is a good way to gauge how committed the company is to the development of its employees.</p>\\n<h3>Cultural fit</h3>\\n<p>A key part of deciding whether a job is right for you is seeing how well their culture aligns with what you want. Do you prefer a corporate environment or something a little more casual? Do you like working in a team or are you more autonomous? Is socialising at work also important to you?&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>These are all things which will help you determine how good the cultural fit is. Look at reviews on sites such as Glassdoor for assistance. Remember, a job is a major part of anyone&rsquo;s life, so it&rsquo;s important you&rsquo;ll feel comfortable and happy in any new company.</p>\\n<h3>Company values</h3>\\n<p>On a related note, ask yourself how well aligned you are with what the company does. You should have answered this question before you even applied, but it&rsquo;s worth jotting down again at this stage as well. Do you believe in their product or service? Can you see yourself being a passionate advocate for them? If the answer is yes, then this is a major plus.</p>\\n<h3>Negotiating a salary&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>Maybe most of your boxes have been ticked, but the offered salary is lower than expected.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>The first point to remember is that if there&rsquo;s a massive discrepancy between the salary which was advertised and the one you&rsquo;re being offered, then this is a red flag. It may be an administrative error - perhaps the job advert had the wrong figure &ndash; but make sure you raise this with them. If they don&rsquo;t seem to have a good reason, then you&rsquo;d be well within your rights to walk away (more on this later).</p>\\n<p>However, in most cases, being offered a lower salary than you expecteddoesn&rsquo;t have to mean it&rsquo;s a firm no. Salary negotiations are quite common, but it&rsquo;s important that you do this in a professional way and can back up what you&rsquo;re saying.</p>\\n<p>Don&rsquo;t just ask for a higher salary &ndash; build a case. Conduct some research and see what the market rates for roles like yours are. Feel free to send over links to job adverts, and even download a salary trends report for the industry (recruitment agencies often publish these every year).&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Highlight your strengths, skills, and experience to show why you deserve more.&nbsp;</p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Receiving a job offer isn\'t always a straightforward process, so we\'ve put together our advice to help you navigate this step of your job hunt."},"url_slug":"receiving-a-job-offer-what-next","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:05.854Z","updated_at":"2024-02-16T13:29:28.432Z"},{"id":"711231b0-0813-4e93-b6bd-2baf87f5c618","tag":{"en":["Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2021-10-5"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/8d7ngz2wencqpqg7q3kmdqxs0z9f"},"title":{"en":"Vertage appoints Dr Becky Upton as Director of Client Solutions and

This year marks 16 years with the business for Ainsley who now enjoys a much more central, widespread role. We were keen to learn more about her incredible professional journey.</p>\\n<div class=\\"flex-video widescreen\\"><iframe src=\\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/PNIox5TglvQ\\" width=\\"640\\" height=\\"360\\" frameborder=\\"0\\"></iframe></div>\\n<p>Ainsley explained to us how she entered the business through Blue Arrow. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d just moved back to Glasgow after being at university. I went into Blue Arrow looking for some temporary work and they had another office that was looking for an administrator. I interviewed with them for a six-month job covering maternity&hellip;and here I am 16 years later still with the business!&rdquo;<br><br>Today, Ainsley works for Carbon60 as a Business Project Manager, implementing IT systems, new legislations, and processes into the business.<br><br>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not IT based&rdquo; she told us, &ldquo;But a lot of my projects do touch into that systems piece because I look at implementing new ways of working with new technology or existing technology for new clients. I work on internal projects where we&rsquo;re only dealing with how Carbon60 works or how Vertage works in line with Carbon60, but I also manage projects with clients where we&rsquo;re implementing or renewing MSPs or other services.&rdquo;<br><br>Ainsley went on to tell us about how she got into her role in quite an ad hoc way. After being in her admin role for some time, she&rsquo;d built up a great deal of knowledge about how the company&rsquo;s systems and processes worked. She was asked to be involved in an extensive project to form Carbon60 from some of Vertage&r

1squo;s existing businesses and it was here that Ainsley&rsquo;s potential was recognised.&nbsp;<br><br>&ldquo;I actually interviewed for a different role - an Administration &amp; Compliance Manager in London. Off the back of that Carbon60 thought I wasn&rsquo;t suited to that role but suggested I might be good as a Project Manager&rdquo;, Ainsley told us.&nbsp;<br><br>And the rest is history! Ainsley&rsquo;s specific interest, attitude and what she could do for the business had been recognised and a new role was created especially for her.&nbsp;<br><br>&ldquo;Carbon60 provided me with lots of support&rdquo;, said Ainsley. &ldquo;To move into the role of Project Manager, it was recognised that I&rsquo;d need some form of project management training or qualification. I was immediately signed up for Prince2 training and undertook the full five-day course to become a Prince2 Practitioner.&rdquo;<br><br>Since then, if Ainsley has had a particular need for training in a product, she&rsquo;s been able to do this in addition to the regular training that Carbon60 provides around the development of the brand. She added &ldquo;I&rsquo;m always involved in those sessions because any products or projects have to align with Carbon60&rsquo;s directions. But yes, if I need training in something specific, it&rsquo;s just a case of speaking to Learning and Development and they very quickly arrange it.&rdquo;&nbsp;<br><br>When asked about her greatest achievements with Carbon60, Ainsley explained how she&rsquo;s been proud to be involved in a number of really successful projects. She highlighted one, though, as a particular achievement: the Tilbury Douglas implementation. For Ainsley, this was her first large client-facing project and a great new experience.&nbsp;<br><br>She also explained how she&rsquo;s delighted with how she&rsquo;s progressed through the business. &ldquo;The achievement of getting to where I am now from where I initially started - from doing predominantly data entry, to playing an integral role in making sure we move forward in this exciting new digital age we&rsquo;re in is really exciting!&rdquo;<br><br>Ainsley ended by telling us about life at Carbon60. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s changed a lot over the years, and we&rsquo;ve certainly grown as a business. It&rsquo;s diverse and it&rsquo;s an ever-changing platform so no two days are ever the same and they all pass so quickly&rdquo;, Ainsley explains. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d describe Carbon60 as a &lsquo;community&rsquo; more than a &lsquo;family&rsquo;. We all have that sense of belonging to a brand and there are lots of friendships that extend beyond the traditional working day. I&rsquo;d definitely say we&rsquo;re a community of people working towards the same goal.&rdquo;</p>"},"cta_link":{"en":""},"featured":{"en":""},"cta_title":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"external_campaign":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Follow the journey of Ainsley Greig, Business Project Manager at Carbon60"},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"featured_on_navigation":{"en":""},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"follow-our-journey-ainsley-greig","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:05.599Z","updated_at":"2026-09-28T13:30:34.584Z"},{"id":"ab7d727b-9def-461e-8c51-45596d075dba","tag":{"en":["Career Advice"]},"date":{"en":"2021-10-13"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/vntakfz9ocfgv5v0k6vltt5kyzgj"},"title":{"en":"Six steps to take before you start your job search"},"author":{"en":"Phili Alexander"},"content":{"en":"<div class=\\"SCXW187332229 BCX0\\" style=\\"color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\\">\\n<div class=\\"OutlineElement Ltr BCX0 SCXW187332229\\" style=\\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\\">\\n<p class=\\"Paragraph SCXW187332229 BCX0\\" style=\\"color: windowtext; background-color: transparent; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;\\"><span class=\\"TextRun SCXW187332229 BCX0\\" style=\\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\\" data-contrast=\\"auto\\">

He&rsquo;s progressed through the ranks holding a&nbsp; number of positions including Operations Manager and Regional Manager before being promoted to his current role<br><br>&ldquo;

1Each role&nbsp; had its own areas of&nbsp; development within it and were necessary for me to be able to progress to the next role; whether it was leadership development or strategy development,&rdquo; James told us. &ldquo;Couple that with various training courses I&rsquo;ve had over the years&nbsp; I must say it&rsquo;s all gelled together quite nicely. Every role has catapulted me into the next and each has enabled me to grow and establish myself as part of the senior leadership team within Carbon60.&rdquo;<br><br>James explained to us that Carbon60 has put him through a range of internal management training programs over the last ten years or so. &ldquo;More recently I&rsquo;ve qualified as a Chartered CMI level 5 manager with Distinction but prior to that I did the internal management training program and assessment over a period of two years.&rdquo; He went on to describe how Carbon60 has provided a lot of further &lsquo;on-the-job&rsquo; training too, including&nbsp; providing him with a mentor which he had for two years and helped him to develop himself as a leader.&nbsp;<br><br>When thinking about some of his proudest achievements whilst at Carbon60, James shared that his biggest personal achievement was to be recognised as Manager of the Year in 2018. &ldquo;It was the same year that I became Associate Director of Engineering, so the award cemented my position and validated my promotion. It was a real personal achievement for me.&rdquo;<br><br>As for his team&rsquo;s greatest achievement, he described how after growing the business by 40% year-on-year, they were announced Team of the Year in June 2019. He said &ldquo;It really showed our peers and Carbon60&rsquo;s MD, Paul Nolan, that the strategy we implemented had worked. We have a great team moral in the engineering business.&rdquo;<br><br></p>\\n<h3>Life at Carbon60</h3>\\n<p>We asked James what it was like to work for Carbon60. He talked openly about the businesses culture of autonomy and freedom to be yourself. He added &ldquo;There isn&rsquo;t micromanagement - there&rsquo;s freedom to be accountable for what you&rsquo;re doing. We work in a trusting environment that&rsquo;s conducive to the level of experience I have. I know I&rsquo;m trusted to do what I say I&rsquo;m going to do. I like that about working for Carbon60 and I know that&rsquo;s what a lot of other people enjoy about the business too.&rdquo;<br><br>In summary, James explained how he&rsquo;d describe Carbon60 as a &lsquo;family.&rsquo; &ldquo;When you&rsquo;ve been here as a long as a lot of us have, it creates a family feel. We have that perfect blend of being a well-established family feel company that&rsquo;s sits within a larger PLC (Vertage) and have the benefits that come with working for a big corporate. But as we&rsquo;ve already alluded, Carbon60 is a great business with a smaller feel. For anyone looking to join Carbon60 it&rsquo;s the perfect mix of an independent and corporate all in one.&rdquo;<br><br><br></p>"},"cta_link":{"en":""},"featured":{"en":""},"cta_title":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"banner_subtitle":{"en":""},"case_study_tabs":{"en":[]},"hubspot_form_id":{"en":""},"external_campaign":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Follow the journey of James Spurling, Associate Director at Carbon60"},"case_study_left_column":{"en":[]},"featured_on_navigation":{"en":""},"case_study_right_column_highlights":{"en":[]},"url_slug":"follow-our-journey-james-spurling","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:06.118Z","updated_at":"2026-09-28T13:32:02.635Z"},{"id":"818fa302-2d53-4e6d-9307-fbce66189508","tag":{"en":["Mental Health"]},"date":{"en":"2020-6-25"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/g12u33wqy54kotfk84idcntsc0yw"},"title":{"en":"8 Steps to Improving Your Mental Health"},"author":{"en":"Alexis Waddington"},"content":{"en":"<p>The world around us has changed significantly in recent months with many of us spending a large amount of time at home and away from our usual routines. This change has had a real impact on the way

1we perceive the world around us and many of us are now feeling low, anxious or concerned about finances, health and the future. As individuals we will all react differently to this change, however it\'s important to remember that it\'s okay to feel these things.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>With so many things out of our control at the moment, a great way for us to help look after our mental health is to focus on what <em>can</em> control. Below are 8 practical ways to look after your mental health.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Keep active</strong></h3>\\n<p>Regular exercise is scientifically proven to improve not just your physical health and fitness, but your mental wellbeing too. It can boost your self-esteem, help you concentrate, sleep and feel better.</p>\\n<p>Since the pandemic began there have been a huge number of people providing free exercise classes online or via apps. However, exercise doesn\'t just mean doing sport or going to the gym. Walks in the park, gardening or housework can also keep you active.</p>\\n<p>Did you know? The <a href=\\"https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/couch-to-5k-week-by-week/\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">Couch to 5K app</a> is a free NHS app to help you get off the sofa and get running to stay healthy.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Stay connected with others</strong></h3>\\n<p>Maintaining healthy relationships with people is important for your mental wellbeing. With the ever-increasing use of technology such as text, WhatsApp and instant messenger, many of us no longer make phone calls or spend the time talking to our friends and relatives. Taking the time to connect with our friends and relatives during this time will enable you to share your experiences and form emotional support networks.</p>\\n<p>A positive from this pandemic is the increased use of platforms such as Zoom, Houseparty and Skype which allow you to talk to &amp; see someone who is miles away.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Have routine in your day</strong></h3>\\n<p>For many of us the structure of our daily routine has gone. I\'ve heard some say this is a good outcome of lockdown, where they feel free from their normal routine and daily restrictions. It can be easy to think that staying up late watching TV and then lying in the next morning, followed by a day of doing nothing would be relaxing, however it can also result in feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed and out of control.</p>\\n<p>Whether you\'re working from home or not, try to get up and get ready in the same way as normal, keep to the same hours you normally would, and stick to the same sleeping schedule. Developing a daily routine creates structure in our lives, breaks bad habits, builds self-confidence, reduces stress and helps us to cope with change.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Eat and drink well</strong></h3>\\n<p>Advice suggests that as well as affecting our physical health, what we eat may also affect the way we feel, and improving your diet may help to improve your mood, give you more energy and help you think clearly. Top tips:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Eat breakfast.</li>\\n<li>Instead of eating a large lunch &amp; dinner, try eating smaller portions spaced out more regularly throughout the day.</li>\\n<li>Avoid food which makes your blood sugar rise and fall rapidly such as sweets, biscuits, sugary drinks and alcohol.</li>\\n<li>Reduce your caffeine intake.</li>\\n<li>Stay hydrated, drinking between 6-8 glasses of fluid each day. Tea, coffee, juices and smoothies all count towards your intake but be aware that they may contain caffeine or sugar. Water is best!</li>\\n<li>Eat your 5-a-day. Fresh, frozen, tinned, dried or juiced are fine.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h3><strong>Display acts of kindness</strong></h3>\\n<p>In response to the coronavirus outbreak, the theme for Mental Health Awareness Week 2020 was \'kindness\'. According to a study completed in 2020 by the Mental Health foundation, kindness is linked to increased feelings of happiness, wellbeing and life satisfaction.</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Saying \\"thank you\\" is a small gesture but could really brighten someone\'s day.</li>\\n<li>Call a friend or relative and ask how they are. I refer you to point 2 - speaking is much better than text. Most importantly, really listen to their answer.</li>\\n<li>Give an honest compliment.</li>\\n<li>Volunteer in your local community.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h3><strong>Don\'t stay glued to the news</strong></h3>\\n<p>The amount of information and news we have about the coronavirus outbreak online is vast. If you find that the news is causing you stress, then to

1support positive mental health it is important to find a balance. Don\'t avoid all news - it\'s important to keep educating yourself, but limit your news intake and make sure you fact-check information from the news, social media or other people.

Setting goals and focussing on your hobby or learning new skills can be a great way to meet people, build your self-esteem and feel a sense of achievement.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Seek help</strong></h3>\\n<p>None of us are superhuman and when we\'re feeling overwhelmed, the best solution is often to talk to someone rather than to internalise your feelings. If you\'re struggling to cope, then turn to a trusted friend or family member to talk, but if this isn\'t possible there are a large number of other services there to help:&nbsp;</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Your GP is there to help you with your mental health as well as your physical health.</li>\\n<li><a href=\\"https://www.nhs.uk/oneyou/every-mind-matters/?WT.tsrc=Search&amp;WT.mc_id=Brand&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMInvurm-ic6gIV0u7tCh25PQ28EAAYASAAEgJJj_D_BwE\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">Every Mind Matters</a> provides tips and advice developed by experts and approved by the NHS.

Along with thousands of other key workers across our country, our military specialists have offered invaluable support to help in the midst of a crisis.</p>\\n<p>These unsung heroes have contributed in countless ways; from setting up our Nightingale hospitals, testing centres and delivering PPE, to supporting ambulance services and distributing food parcels to the most vulnerable in our society. Around twenty thousand members of our regular and reservist forces from across the army, navy and air force, have played (and continue to play) a crucial role in assisting the UK through the COVID-19 pandemic, undoubtedly one of the largest challenges our country has ever faced.</p>\\n<p>Armed Forces Day is an annual event held each June to recognise and celebrate our military and its personnel. This year, Armed Forces Day is due to be held on Saturday 27th June and whilst celebrations may be a different to usual - the official event planned to be hosted this year by Scarborough Borough Council has had to be cancelled because of coronavirus - there are still plenty of ways to show your support to the selfless men and women who dedicate their lives to serving our country.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Carbon60\'s commitment to our Armed Forces</strong></h3>\\n<p>Carbon60 has always been avid supporters of our military service men and women. Over the years we\'ve employed and championed a number of our employees who have had military involvement, whether that be as veterans, reservists, spouses of serving members, or adult cadet volunteers.</p>\\n<p>We\'re proud to have worked our way through the ranks (pardon the pun!) of the MOD\'s Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS), having achieved firstly bronze, then silver and most recently gold in acknowledgement of our support for employees with military engagement.</p>\\n<p>To achieve this prestigious award Carbon60 was able to consistently demonstrate commitment, support and the fair treatment of our employees with links to the Armed Forces. We have programmes in place to help ex-military personnel into new engineering roles and careers, actively promoting opportunities that would be suitable for those with service backgrounds. We also have mentoring programmes for the spouses and families of those currently serving with the army, navy, or air force, designed to help them navigate the challenges associated with military life, such as remote postings and childcare issues.</p>\\n<p>And above all, we really take the time to appreciate and celebrate our employees with military involvement. These are individuals who not only demonstrate real dedication, commitment and \'get up and go\', but who are also often able to bring with them a wealth of military experiences, skills and knowledge that then strengthens our own engineering and recruitment business too.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>How to show your support</strong></h3>\\n<p>As previously mentioned, the UK\'s official Armed Forces Day will look a little different this year but there are still plenty of ways for you to get involved.</p>\\n<p>The celebrations will begin with the raising of the Armed Forces Day flag on Monday 22nd June. The flag will be hoisted onto buildings and famous landmarks across the UK, so look out for any flags that may be flying near you.</p>\\n<p>Because people will be unable to congregate to celebrate this year, the official <a href=\\"https://www.armedforcesday.org.uk/\\">Armed Forces Day website</a>&nbsp;has an entire section dedicated to getting people involved remotely. There are downloadable banners, flags and logos that you can use either in your workplace or at home to join in with the celebrations.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>You can also get involved on social media through posting your own messages of thanks to our military personnel, or by sharing photos and/or videos of yourself, your teams or your family saluting them.</p>\\n<p>Whatever you\'re doing this month, we hope you\'ll take some time out to join us in supporting those who dedicate their lives to supporting all of us. Let\'s show our appreciation for the valuable contribution of all those who make up our British Armed Forces, on Armed Forces Day 2020.&nbsp;</p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"As we continue to navigate the effects of the UK coronavirus outbreak, there\'s perhaps no better time to recognise the efforts of our British Armed Forces."},"url_slug":"celebrating-armed-forces-day-2020","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:05.882Z","updated_at":"2024-02-16T13:22:58.264Z"},{"id":"a0c85d3b-b590-433f-b989-9e3fd4aba14c","tag":{"en":["Career Advice","Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2020-5-7"}

A word defined by the Cambridge English Dictionary as: \\"to believe that someone is good and honest and will not harm you, or that something is safe and reliable.\\"</p>\\n<p>Most of us understand that trust forms the basis of personal relationships, but did you know that it\'s just as paramount when it comes to business and professional relationships too?</p>\\n<p>The most successful organisations across the globe are built on trust and that means developing strong, trusting relationships between not only your employees and colleagues, but external contacts as well. It\'s a fact that people buy from people they trust, so ensuring that your customers believe and have confidence in you is essential in ensuring your ongoing success.</p>\\n<p>In this article we\'ll explore the importance of building workplace trust and how forging trust in you and your company are crucial steps to ensuring you\'re smashing those all-important business objectives.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Trust me, I\'m an engineer!</strong></h3>\\n<p>We\'ve already mentioned how important trust is in any organisation, but it\'s perhaps especially important in industries such as engineering. From the perspective of employees, engineers often work in challenging or high-risk environments, meaning that having trust of your management and peers comes down to much more than simply feeling warm and fuzzy at work - it can in fact have serious implications when it comes to safety and wellbeing.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>From the point of view of a client, the risks are similar, and your customers will want to know that their potentially high-risk, high-value project is in safe hands. Your primary route to convincing them of that is to ensure you gain their trust in both you and your abilities.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Meeting objectives through trust</strong></h3>\\n<p>There\'s no doubt that trust is a key component to business success. Statistics have shown time and time again that teams instilled with trust are higher performing. But why is this the case? And why is it so important that you\'re gaining trust in your workplace and amongst your teams?</p>\\n<p>Well firstly, let\'s consider&nbsp;<strong><em>morale and motivation</em></strong>. When team members trust their management, and to some extent their colleagues too, morale is naturally higher. Like it or not, employees are inherently inclined to mistrust managers, but where leaders are able to turn this preconception around and actually gain the trust of their staff, the result is an increase in both morale and motivation. Employees working for individuals they believe \'have their back\' are automatically more efficient, hardworking and greater performing.</p>\\n<p><strong><em>Decreased workplace stress&nbsp;</em></strong>is something that can be achieved through ensuring a culture of trust as well. This spans not only your management/leadership team, but peer-to-peer trust too. Employees want to know they can trust that your Board will demonstrate openness when communicating on things like change, profit and loss figures and their career progression.</p>\\n<p>And, where team members have trust in one another, there\'s less hostility and increased&nbsp;<strong><em>teamwork and collaboration&nbsp;</em></strong>- all factors that will greatly benefit your organisation, productivity and retention.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Next, let\'s look at&nbsp;<strong><em>loyalty and retention&nbsp;</em></strong>- equally important considerations when thinking about both your employees and customers.</p>\\n<p>It goes without saying that having sound relationships built on trust in place, will ensure that you\'re able to retain valuable customers and that they\'re returning to use you time and time again. A business\' reputation depends heavily on trust - not only so that your customers know they can rely on you and your services, but so that you can in turn, rely on them to pay invoices, bring return business and recommend you to others.</p>\\n<p>Having robust customer relationships in place will also help you to build market-place credibility through gathering things like case studies and testimonials that demonstrate to others that you are a trustworthy and professional partner.</p>\\n<p>Focusing on the <strong><em>loyalty and retention of employees,&nbsp;</em></strong>all businesses strive to lower their staff turnover rates, and a major consideration in achieving excellent staff retention ratios is whether your people place trust in you as their line manager and employer. There\'s a well-known saying that \'employees don\'t leave bad companies, they leave bad managers\', and this is never truer when thinking about the levels of trust that your employees are able to place in you and your leadership team.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Where trust isn\'t apparent, your people will feel uneasy, demotivated and are more likely to move to another organisation. Where trust is evident, employees will be more loyal, committed, productive and are much more likely to stay with your company for the long-term.</p>\\n<p>Closely linked with staff retention, trust should also be of significance when&nbsp;<strong><em>hiring.&nbsp;</em></strong>

1An individual\'s perception of you and your business will normally begin right from when they interview with you and you\'ll want to instill a sense of trust in order to attract new talent to your organisation.</p>\\n<p>And let\'s not forget things like&nbsp;<strong><em>remote working.&nbsp;</em></strong>Several recent surveys carried out on employee benefits have revealed that the most sought-after employee benefits are no longer necessarily linked to salaries and bonuses. Nowadays, and overtaking money-related benefits as employees\' top priorities, are things like work/life balance and flexible/remote working options. But to successfully implement these kinds of opportunities into your workplace, there has to be a strong sense of trust between management and workers. Employees want to know they\'re trusted enough to carry out their work remotely, and managers of course want to be reassured that work will still be completed to a high standard under more flexible conditions. Once trusting relationships are built however, these more modern ways of working c

1an function well in your organisation - and often result in a happier, more efficient workforce.</p>\\n<h3><strong>A culture of trust</strong></h3>\\n<p>There\'s no denying then, that building trust in the workplace is important, and it\'s obvious to see how gaining the trust of your colleagues and customers can play a vital role in helping you to achieve your critical business goals.</p>\\n<p>A key point to remember though? Building true trust into a relationship can be a very slow, steady process - but breaking that trust irreversibly can happen in an instant.</p>\\n<p>Make sure therefore, that trust is at the centre of your strategy for success and promoted throughout your business as an integral part of its culture.</p>\\n<p><strong><a href=\\"https://calendly.com/chrispblackburn/the-importance-of-building-workplace-trust?back=1&amp;month=2020-05&amp;utm_source=carbon60&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=llmay20\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">&nbsp;</a></strong></p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Trust.

As part of #mentalhealthawarenessweek we want to explore how employers can support their employees to create better sleeping habits.</p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.sleepfoundation.org/articles/how-much-sleep-do-we-really-need\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">Studies have shown</a> that 7-9 hours of sleep every night are needed to allow the body to restore and rejuvenate. Sleep is an essential part of the body\'s process of controlling our emotions by triggering the right hormones. Not getting enough sleep disrupts this process, which in the short term can cause mood swings and in the long term can increase the likelihood of mental health problems.</p>\\n<p>And in a world where people face a number of personal and professional challenges, there\'s an increased risk of negative thoughts and anxiety becoming overwhelming, leading to problems with sleep, and if someone has an existing sleep problem this can make things even worse. This close relationship between sleep and mental health can lead to a vicious cycle if either the initial sleep or mental health issue goes unaddressed.</p>\\n<p>A sleep-deprived workforce can be 57% less productive, 1/3 less alert, suffer from a lack of engagement and creativity, and decreased powers of decision-making and problem-solving. Working 70 hours a week might mean they get everything done, but is it worth it if they have to take time off for stress?</p>\\n<h2><strong>What can employers do to help employees create better sleep habits?</strong></h2>\\n<p>Pressure at work can be a big contributing factor to stress, worry &amp; anxiety, so it\'s part of an employer\'s responsibility to support their people to counteract this. Here are some simple things you can do to help your team:</p>\\n<h2><strong>Recognise the importance of sleep</strong></h2>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Have open conversations about the importance of sleep with your employees, and make sure they know how important it is to you to provide support.</li>\\n<li>Ask if there\'s any help they need from you specifically.</li>\\n<li>Set up training sessions with tips on how to improve their sleep, including changing their routine, sleep environment &amp; lifestyle choices. Mentalhealth.org have some useful information, which can be found <a href=\\"https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/how-sleep-better\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">here</a>.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h2><strong>Managing workload</strong></h2>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Make sure your employees don\'t have too much on their plates. This can be a difficult thing to admit for some people, so make it an open, positive conversation and set your expectations, so that no-one feels chastised for not feeling able to complete all the work they\'ve been set.&nbsp;</li>\\n<li>Help them to prioritise their workload by explaining which projects or tasks are most important to you as a manager, and set aside ones that aren\'t, allowing them to free up some time in their schedule.</li>\\n<li>Once the burden of an excessive workload has been taken away, stress &amp; anxiety levels may decrease, making falling asleep easier.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h2><strong>Assess working hours</strong></h2>\\n<ul>\\n<li>We\'ve all had to get used to working in different ways in recent years, and lots of businesses have realised that although having people in the office together can result in a really positive working environment, they\'ve been forced to see the benefits of working from home some of the time.</li>\\n<li>The lack of a commute means people get to spend more time at home, and maybe even more time asleep - although we\'re sure the parents among you would disagree!</li>\\n<li>A better work-life balance can give people more time to focus on personal relationships and hobbies, resulting in reduced levels of stress and anxiety, and a better night\'s sleep.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h2><strong>Set boundaries</strong></h2>\\n<ul>\\n<li>If your employees are in a 9-5 role, encourage them to log off and shut down when they\'re supposed to. If they\'ve got too much work to finish on time, then you need to refer back to&nbsp;<strong>managing their workload&nbsp;</strong>and make sure they haven\'t got too much on. Some people enjoy working longer than necessary, but it can have a detrimental effect on their mental health that they might not notice until it\'s too late.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h2><strong>Set an example and put an embargo on emails</strong></h2>\\n<ul>\\n<li>If you\'re encouraging your employees to clock off on time and get a good night\'s sleep, then you should follow suit. Sending them emails late into the night that they don\'t see until the next morning can cause them to feel guilt that they\'re not putting in as many hours as you, which can be a source of stress.</li>\\n<li>If they won\'t see your emails until the next morning, then don\'t send them until then, to prevent any angst that they\'re missing out.</li>\\n<li>Although the welfare of your workforce is important, managers have to be fighting fit as well in order to lead a team, so think about how your own work-life balance is affected by your workload.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p><strong>For more information on the relationship between sleep &amp; mental health, take a look at these resources:</strong></p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/sleep-problems/sleep-problems/\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\"><span style=\\"background: white;\\">https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/sleep-problems/sleep-problems/</span></a><br><br><a href=\\"https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/how-sleep-better\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\"><span style=\\"background: white;\\">https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/how-sleep-better</span></a><span style=\\"background: white; color: black;\\"> </span></p>\\n<p><a href=\\"https://www.sleepfoundation.org/articles/why-do-we-need-sleep\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\"><span style=\\"background: white;\\">https://www.sleepfoundation.org/articles/why-do-we-need-sleep</span></a><span style=\\"background: white; color: #323130;\\"> </span></p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Getting enough sleep is essential for maintaining good mental health, and we want to explore how employers can help their employees create better sleep habits."},"url_slug":"the-importance-of-sleep-for-good-mental-health","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:07.100Z","updated_at":"2024-04-29T15:37:54.791Z"},{"id":"af30404e-0ad7-4bf2-b544-3ea185a401f1","tag":{"en":["Career Advice","Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2020-5-15"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/ovsc58wg3jfzaay09awrgzudhs2h"},"title":{"en":"How to Build & Regain Trust at Work"},"author":{"en":"Chris Blackburn"},"content":{"en":"<p>As we pointed out in our previous blog, trust can take some time to develop, but in contrast, it can take just one small action to instantly break it.</p>\\n<p>Building trust in a working environment is an ongoing process - not an immediate fix - and can take a considerable amount of time and effort. But, it\'s an essential component of any strategy as with trust in place your people will be more engaged, happy and productive, and your customers more satisfied and loyal.</p>\\n<p>

1Trust is built through an individual\'s or organisation\'s actions, as opposed to words, so here we\'ll explore exactly how you can demonstrate on a daily basis that you and/or your business are trustworthy.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Trustworthy traits of great leaders and successful companies</strong></h3>\\n<p>Being a successful leader relies on gaining (and maintaining) the trust of your employees and colleagues. Similarly, having a successful business relies on achieving the trust of your customers.</p>\\n<p>Employees in particular are sometimes predisposed to distrusting, or at least being suspicious of management, so it should be the aim of every leader to firstly be aware of this and secondly, work to abolish any distrust that does exist.</p>\\n<p>But how do you do this? Well, it doesn\'t have to be complex.</p>\\n<p>Building trust between you and your staff, or indeed your business and your customer, is all about building strong relationships. It\'s about being a manager who\'s friendly, approachable, supportive and who genuinely cares about the wellbeing and development of their staff. When it comes to customers, the theory is similar, and relationship building based upon a genuine interest in your customers\' own objectives and experience with you, is key. That\'s because a large part of being trusted relates to being liked.</p>\\n<p>Earlier, we talked about trust coming down to actions, not words, and this is especially true in the workplace. A good manager should always follow through on their promises, remembering to be open, honest and transparent wherever possible with employees. Meanwhile customers will expect the same level of openness and authenticity when it comes to using your services.</p>\\n<p>And lastly, confidence is key! You need both your employees and customers to feel confident in you as a manager, or in your offerings as a partner.</p>\\n<p>Below we share our practical tips for building relationships, demonstrating openness and authenticity, and instilling confidence, all fundamental traits for building and maintaining trust.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Steps to building workplace trust</strong></h3>\\n<p>1. Be human</p>\\n<p>Just because you\'re in a professional environment doesn\'t mean that you can\'t be friendly. Asking about people\'s days, what they did at the weekend or their lives outside of work will provide you with the basis for a strong, trusting relationship. It comes back to our point about being likeable - people trust people (or companies) that they like. Consider working on relationships, where possible, outside of your workplace. A simple meeting over coffee or lunch can make employees, colleagues and customers feel more comfortable and relaxed in your company, meaning the ability to build trust with them is much easier.</p>\\n<p>2.&nbsp; Empower people</p>\\n<p>Making people feel empowered will significantly help in your quest to build trust. This point possibly applies to your employees more, but there\'s no harm in looking further into how you could empower your customers too.</p>\\n<p>For staff, feeling empowered often means allowing and encouraging autonomy. Let people plan their own days, taking on responsibility for their own tasks. You can support by laying out achievable objectives, development plans and career paths. Once people know that you\'re supportive of them, and that you trust them to complete their work autonomously, the feeling of trust is reciprocated, and employees are much more loyal.</p>\\n<p>3. Reward/celebrate success</p>\\n<p>Linked closely to our previous point, it\'s important for managers to instil trust through recognising and rewarding success. This doesn\'t always have to be in the form of costly employee bonuses but can be achieved through smaller weekly incentives/competitions, or by simply buying in lunch occasionally!</p>\\n<p>The same should be remembered for customers. If things are going well, whilst you\'ll want to avoid situations that could be construed as bribery, remembering to recognise joint successes or milestones in your working relationship are fundamental in building a trusting and lasting relationship.</p>\\n<p>4. Communicate openly</p>\\n<p>Open and transparent communications are a must when it comes to creating trust between two parties. There\'s no right or wrong way to communicate with your employees and customers but choose a strategy that fits your business and culture and however you decide to best communicate, do so consistently.</p>\\n<p>Silence from management or a partner causes concerns and suspicion - people wonder what you\'re hiding from them and start to fill in the gaps themselves. Ensure that you, as a line manager, are regularly communicating with your people, but also work with those at the top to make sure that larger announcements or updates are communicated directly by them.</p>\\n<p>Communicate with your people and customers regularly to enforce a feeling of openness and transparency. Always follow through on your promises. And probably most importantly, make sure you communicate even bad news. People need to understand that you\'ll tell them everything - warts and all - to fully trust in you/your organisation.</p>\\n<p>5. Take time to listen</p>\\n<p>Communication works both ways - don\'t get hung up on strategising how you will share your news/updates only. Make sure you\'re allowing your employees and customers to have a voice too and provide a comfortable, safe forum in which they can voice their opinions and/or concerns. This is crucial step in building trust in any situation.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>6. Know where you\'re going</p>\\n<p>Do you have a clear vision, mission and values in place? If not, working to define them is central. It\'s difficult to instil trust in companies where a shared vision/goal doesn\'t exist.</p>\\n<p>Through outlining a collective vision, mission and values, employees will feel confident about where they and the organisation is headed, and trust that those in charge are able to lead them there.</p>\\n<p>For customers, it\'s no different. And if your values, vision and mission happen to be similar, or align with their own, trust between you is only strengthened even further.</p>\\n<p>7. Ensure trust is company-wide</p>\\n<p>Although this point can be slightly harder to enforce, it\'s helpful to understand that for an organisation to be truly successful, trust must be company-wise. Work with your Board and colleagues to make sure that activities and behaviours that instil trust are happening across all departments and within all teams. Whilst it\'s great if you\'ve been able to build trust within your own team, it\'s fruitless if that trust ends with your own direct reports, or with just one client. Work, therefore, with your HR, training and culture teams to ensure that your ultimate goal is a consistent approach to gaining trust across your entire organisation.</p>\\n<h3><strong>A note on rebuilding trust</strong></h3>\\n<p>As we\'ve identified, building trust is not always easy. Many of us will know from personal relationship that trust\'s often hard to gain and the same applies to professional relationships too.</p>\\n<p>Trust can be broken in an instant, typically when promises aren\'t followed through with action, or breakdowns in communication occur. It can take a lot of time and effort to regain broken trust, so our recommendation is always to ensure that you do all you can to maintain trust.</p>\\n<p>But mistakes do happen and if you find yourself in a situation where you\'re having to rebuild trust, start by admitting your mistake and explain clearly how you intend to rectify it. Be accountable and take responsibility. You\'ll gain more respect (and in turn, more trust) through doing so. Follow this up by revisiting and actioning the points above and in time people\'s trust in you should be restored.</p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Trust can take some time to develop, but in contrast it can take just one small action to instantly break it."},"url_slug":"how-to-build-and-regain-trust-at-work","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:06.376Z","updated_at":"2024-02-16T13:19:21.792Z"},{"id":"a7ba8146-4580-49a4-b70f-387276a396c6","tag":{"en":["Career Advice","Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2020-5-12"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/m3lqcv8bf67lx9aprkoe6zuv6wlo"},"title":{"en":"10 Common Interview Questions and How to Answer Them"},"author":{"en":"Shaun Bradbury"},"content":{"en":"<p>There\'s no doubt about it, interviews can be really nerve-wracking, but good preparation can go some way to helping you through it, and hopefully snagging that job offer at the end. We\'ve put together the 10 most common interview questions that people sometimes struggle to answer and provided some guidance on how to respond.</p>\\n<h3><strong>1. Tell me about yourself?</strong></h3>\\n<p>A 30-year-old guy with a dad bod might be the truth, but with this question, it\'s best to think of it instead as \\"how did you get here\\". This can include a brief overview of your current role, including basic responsibilities and maybe something you\'re proud of, explain how you got there, and how that experience will apply to your new role. Finally, this is a good opportunity to talk about why you think you\'d be suitable for the role, and why you want it.</p>\\n<p>But it doesn\'t have to be all about business! They are interviewing you because they know you have the skills to do the role, but they want to get to know y

1ou as an individual. Try to talk about what you enjoy outside of work; maybe a hobby you might have in common with the interviewer such as cycling, running or a genre of music, for example.</p>\\n<h3><strong>2. Why should we hire you?</strong></h3>\\n<p>Your first thought here is probably \\"I need the money\\"! However, this question is quite blunt, and could be a little intimidating, but it\'s a fantastic opportunity to sell your skills and experience, beyond your CV. You need to be able to explain why you can do the job, how you\'ll deliver the necessary results, and how you\'ll fit in with the company culture. I would also suggest flipping the question around, and ask why you should work for them? It is important to remember interviews are a two-way process and that you are invited to interview for a reason.</p>\\n<h3><strong>3. What are your weaknesses?</strong></h3>\\n<p>The most tedious but frequent of interview questions! Rather than trying to identify any major issues, this question is trying to gauge your honesty. A great way to answer this is to highlight a genuine weakness you have and then discuss how you are trying to improve on this.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>For example: \\"I\'ve struggled in the past with prioritising my tasks, but I\'ve implemented a weekly planning process that makes this easier for me and has resulted in me hitting my deadlines consistently.\\" Everyone has weaknesses and things we can improve on, and it\'s best to remember that this isn\'t a test of skill, but of will.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>4. Tell me about a time you failed?</strong></h3>\\n<p>Failing to build IKEA furniture is part of most peoples\' repertoire, but this is like the weaknesses question. The interviewer is actually looking to find out why you might have failed, and how you coped with it. It\'s important to be honest here and use a real-life example that defines how you see failure. For example, it might not be that you failed to hit a deadline, but that there could be factors outside of your immediate control. Emphasise how you learned from this and approached this issue in your next task successfully.</p>\\n<h3><strong>5. How would your boss and co-workers describe you?</strong></h3>\\n<p>Before you say anything, keep in mind that they will likely call your previous company for a reference, so this is not a work performance question. Instead they want to know how you are able to work with others and possibly deal with conflict. Be transparent and try to stick to the positive relationships you have and talk about how these help you in your role.</p>\\n<p>Before you think \\"I lose my mind!\\", breathe and remember this is a great question to answer with an example. Stress is common in most jobs, so it\'s important that they know you can handle it, and what better way to demonstrate that than to talk through how you have handled a stressful experience in a work environment. Consider how you used communication, organisation and your coping mechanism e.g. exercise, meditation, time with friends and family to

1strike the right balance.</p>\\n<h3><strong>6. Where do you see yourself in 5 years\' time?</strong></h3>\\n<p>Hopefully not in lockdown and social-distancing... You\'ve got two real options here, depending on whether you think the role you\'re interviewing for will help you on the way to your 5-year goals. If the role is part of your career plan, then explain how it fits. This shows your ambition and not to mention your planning skills! However, if the position is a stopgap for you, then it\'s perfectly acceptable to say you haven\'t thought that far ahead, but that you see this job playing an important role in your experience.</p>\\n<h3><strong>7. What makes you unique?</strong></h3>\\n<p>Learning viral dances during lockdown might be impressive, but it\'s best to have something prepared for this, because if it\'s a surprise question it might be difficult to come with something on the fly. Make sure you keep your answer relevant to the role though - and think back to feedback you\'ve had before to spark some inspiration. Remember, this is something that might make you stand out over other candidates, so use your imagination.</p>\\n<h3><strong>8. How do you like to be managed?</strong></h3>\\n<p>The company you\'re interviewing at will want to work out if you\'re a good fit for the team you\'re entering, so they want to learn how you perform best. It\'s a good idea to think back on previous roles; what worked well and what didn\'t, in terms of management, but make sure that you frame them positively. Ranting about other managers in a job interview is not a good look, so phrase negative experiences in a way that explains what would have been a better management style in that situation.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>9. Why are you leaving your current role?</strong></h3>\\n<p>Last but definitely not least, this is something you\'ll almost always be asked, so it\'s best to be prepared. Again, try to be positive, even if the situation is negative. Try and show that you\'re eager to take on new opportunities (reference the job description here) and responsibilities, and that you feel as though you\'ve got all you can from your current job. If you were let go, keep it simple and be honest. A top tip is don\'t discuss your old salary/rate, but what you\'re prepared and willing to do to achieve these goals.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Remember, interviews are about your potential new employer getting to know you and your capabilities and skills, so just try to relax and be yourself. Work isn\'t just about hitting targets and delivering results any more - they need to know that you\'re a good fit for their company culture, so as well as convincing them that you\'ve got the right skills &amp; experience, try to demonstrate that you know how to use them to be a successful employee, that people want to work with.</p>\\n<p><strong>For more help &amp; advice on finding your dream role, <a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/contact-us\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener\\">contact us</a> today.</strong></p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"There\'s no doubt about it, interviews can be really nerve-wracking, but good preparation can go some way to helping you through it, and hopefully snagging that job offer at the end."},"url_slug":"10-common-interview-questions-and-how-to-answer-them","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:04.878Z","updated_at":"2024-02-16T13:17:57.102Z"},{"id":"1060fb96-7860-4250-9193-8ac7ac1c81d7","tag":{"en":["Career Advice","Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2020-4-23"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/mk92r7ejdbncqs39b2pkucnu61v9"},"title":{"en":"How to Manage Stress at Work"},"author":{"en":"Alexis Waddington"},"content":{"en":"<p>April marks Stress Awareness Month and in the current climate, as we all adapt to significant changes in our working and personal lives, there\'s perhaps not better time to discuss this increasingly important topic.</p>\\n<p>Stress Awareness Month is an annual initiative that\'s been in place since 1992. It sees healthcare professionals join forces to increase understanding of this important subject.</p>\\n<p>Stress awareness is now a key focus for the majority of organisations across the globe, because the likelihood is that some element of pressure from time to time is inevitable within any role.</p>\\n<p>At Carbon60, we believe that the health and wellbeing of our contractors, candidates, customers and employees is paramount. So, whilst it would be impossible to eliminate all elements of pressure at work, we wanted to share our top tips on managing workplace stress.</p>\\n<h3><strong>The statistics</strong></h3>\\n<p>A 2019 <a href=\\"https://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/causdis/stress.pdf\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">report published by the Health and Safety Exective (HSE)</a> revealed that an estimated 12.8 million working days are lost each year in the UK due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety. It further showed that in 2018/2019 stress, depression and anxiety accounted for 44% of all work-related ill-health cases.</p>\\n<p>It also uncovered that employees working at larger organisations were more likely to experience stress and whilst females had a greater likelihood of encountering workplace stress, figures for men weren\'t that far behind.</p>\\n<p>It\'s clear that in today\'s fast-paced world of work, stress is a very real issue.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Stress in engineering</strong></h3>\\n<p>Whilst the HSE\'s report cited the highest volume of cases of stress within occupations such as public administration, sales and health &amp; social care, the figures spanned just about every industry. Technical and skilled trades were certainly not exempt and showed that significant numbers of professionals within these areas were also missing time from work due to stress.</p>\\n<p>Looking specifically at engineering, it\'s a career offering excellent prospects and is often described as one of the most exciting, innovative and rewarding jobs. But it\'s also sometimes one of the most challenging - and this is where stress can creep in.</p>\\n<p>Factors such as tight project deadlines and long working hours are frequent concerns for engineers, along with technical challenges and the need to regularly multitask. Long commutes can be an issue - engineers often have to travel to where their large-scale project is based. Lots of responsibility can occasionally feel overwhelming and the intellectual brainpower needed to be an engineer can sometimes lead to burnout.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Managing stress</strong></h3>\\n<p>Whilst it would be unrealistic to suggest that we can remove all elements of stress from your role, the good news is that there are lots of ways of managing your stress. Here are just a few:&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong>1. Identify what\'s causing your stress</strong></p>\\n<p>It may seem obvious, but the first step of managing your stress or anxiety is to understand where it\'s coming from. As we identified earlier, there are a number of reasons why engineers can feel workplace pressure, so take some time to think about what could be causing yours. Is it a lack of support? Is it unrealistic deadlines? Or are you experiencing burnout because of long hours?</p>\\n<p>There are no \'silly\' reasons for feeling stressed, so understand the root of yours to ensure you can take the necessary steps to eliminate it.</p>\\n<p><strong>2. Speak out</strong></p>\\n<p>Many people, and particularly men, have historically felt some stigma attached to stress. But as the stats showed us earlier, workplace stress is extremely common and it\'s important that you talk openly about your feelings. Be open with your colleagues, management and/or HR department. Be armed with facts about what\'s causing you to feel stressed. Often being frank about things such as unrealistic deadlines or a lack of support, can lead to practical solutions being put in place that will improve the situation, whereas keeping problems bottled up will only heighten your stress levels.</p>\\n<p><strong>3.&nbsp;</strong><strong>Get organised</strong></p>\\n<p>Engineering projects can be vast. Divide your tasks into smaller bite-sized steps, create a to-do list and tick things off once they\'re complete. Enormous assignments can come with a lot of responsibility and feel overwhelming, but by breaking them down into lots of smaller projects, you\'ll be less likely to miss something crucial. You\'ll also see progress being made and recognise your achievements every day.</p>\\n<p><strong>4. Focus on your health</strong></p>\\n<p>\'Healthy body, healthy mind\': it really is more than just a cliche. Whilst at work remember to drink plenty of water - good hydration is key for physical and mental health. And remember to take a lunch break, even on the busiest of days. A physical break away from your working environment means you\'re more likely to return to your tasks refreshed, relieving feelings of stress and improving productivity for the remainder of the day.</p>\\n<p>Outside of work, aim to exercise a few times a week. Not only is this great for your physical and mental wellbeing, it\'ll improve your sleep too. Health professionals recommend getting seven to eight hours\' sleep each night. If you struggle with sleep, try going to bed an hour before you plan on actually sleeping, switch off all electronic devices and instead read a book or listen to some calming music to help you wind down.</p>\\n<p><strong>5. Challenge negative thoughts</strong></p>\\n<p>Well all get them. It\'s human nature. But trying to make a conscious effort to turn negative thoughts into positive, really does help with our mental health. Whatever the cause of your stress, take a deep breath and try to find some perspective. Take your role one day at a time, instead of looking too far ahead. Often, we unrealistically build things up to feel much worse in our own minds than they actually are in reality.</p>\\n<p><strong>6. Create some \'you\' time</strong></p>\\n<p>We all get busy, inside and outside of work, but one of the best stress-busters is to simply set some time aside for you. Make sure you switch off from work once you get home. Don\'t be tempted to constantly check work emails or make unnecessary calls outside of hours. Try relaxation techniques such as mindfulness, meditation or yoga, but if they aren\'t for you just allow yourself some time out to listen to music, read a book or go for a run. It\'s amazing what a difference some \'you\' time can make, even after the most hectic of days at work.</p>\\n<p><strong>7. Remember why you love engineering</strong></p>\\n<p>You chose your career for a reason, and whilst it can come with challenges, don\'t forget the positives. Engineering careers give people a sense of purpose and allow you to make a real difference in the world. Reminding yourself of that regularly will help when things get tough.</p>\\n<p>Why not take some time to re-energise and refocus by assessing your own stress levels? Remember, if you\'re feeling particularly stressed, to take advantage of the whole host of help that\'s now available.

According to the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) a staggering 600,000 workers in the last 12 months have reported suffering stress, anxiety or depression, caused or made worse by work.</p>\\n<p>Everyone feels a certain amount of stress in their lives caused by increased demands from a variety of factors, such as work, financial pressures or relationships with others. Stress can be caused by anything that the individual feels poses a real or perceived threat to their well-being. A small amount of stress is often manageable, however it\'s when this escalates that it can become harmful.</p>\\n<p>As we recognise <strong>Stress Awareness Month</strong> this April, we thought it the perfect time to discuss the role of management in the workplace in identifying, eliminating and dealing with their teams\' stress levels.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Your duty as a manager</strong></h3>\\n<p>It\'s probably worth starting by pointing out that as a manager of people, you\'re not expected, or indeed qualified, to diagnose and treat stress. But, as a workplace leader, you do have a duty of care towards your staff and have a legal obligation to identify and reduce work-related stress and anxiety.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>The kinds of situations that can cause an employee to feel pressure at work include limited development prospects, bad management (or a lack of management), unrealistic deadlines and workloads, a shortage or resources and/or equipment and poor relationships with peers.</p>\\n<p>It could even be that your employee is stressed because of non-work related problems, but if they\'re noticeably struggling at work, again, you have a duty of care to ensure there\'s nothing that could be improved in the working environment to help.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Great management traits</strong></h3>\\n<p>A large part of successfully managing your teams\' stress levels begins with you. A great management style means your employees will see you as approachable, empathetic and as someone who can build excellent rapport. A good manager will also have the ability to create a healthy and productive working environment, where people feel supported, valued and rewarded.</p>\\n<p>There are endless management courses available if you\'re interested in strengthening any of these core skills, but one of the most important qualities is simply knowing your employees, talking to them on a regular basis so that you know how they cope with pressure and when they are starting to struggle.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Know the signs</strong></h3>\\n<p>Stress can be displayed in many different ways. It\'s most commonly expressed emotionally through tears, irritability or anger. But also look out for less obvious psychological signs - poor concentration, frequent mistakes, or just someone being unusually quiet can often be related to their wellbeing.</p>\\n<p>Stress can have physical effects on an individual too, so be aware of frequent absences or problems such as headaches, stomach upsets or a loss of appetite.</p>\\n<p>And once you\'re aware of your team member\'s stress levels, let them know. Good relationships with your workers, plus regular one-to-one catch-ups will provide the ideal opportunity for problems to be aired.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Tips for reducing stress in your workplace</strong></h3>\\n<p>Whether you\'re plan, site or office-based, the principles behind managing and reducing stress for your employees remain the same. Here are just a few of our top tips:</p>\\n<p><strong>1. Understand your workforce</strong></p>\\n<p>No matter where your staff are based, it\'s important to communicate with them on a regular basis. Frequent one-to-ones are vital, along with informal conversations, feedback from colleagues and formal staff satisfaction surveys.</p>\\n<p>Once you fully understand any issues your workforce has you can begin to improve things and reduce risk factors.</p>\\n<p><strong>

12. Consider your working environment, equipment and resources.</strong></p>\\n<p>Often workers can become unhappy simply because of inadequate materials, software, equipment or resources. Not having the right tools can cause a reduction in both productivity and motivation.</p>\\n<p>Keep an active eye on workloads and how people are coping. And if they\'re not as productive as you\'d like, can you provide them with better resources that could help? Empower your people by providing as pleasant a working environment as possible and regularly assess whether improvements could and should be made.</p>\\n<p><strong>3. Ensure progression routes.</strong></p>\\n<p>One of the leading causes of stress, according to the HSE, is a lack of developmental opportunities. As a manager, you\'re in control of improving and investing in your people and it\'s important that clear progression paths are laid out, communicated and regularly reviewed.</p>\\n<p><strong>4. Have an open door.</strong></p>\\n<p>Make sure your employees feel supported and listened to. Operate an \'open door\' policy and let them know that they can approach you with any issues they may have. Review and refine your listening skills so you\'re the first to know should problems arise.</p>\\n<p>Check out <a href=\\"https://www.hse.gov.uk/stress/causes.htm\\">HSE\'s Talking Toolkit</a> - a fantastic resource for managers in learning how to talk with employees about stress.</p>\\n<p><strong>5. Consider flexible working options.</strong></p>\\n<p>Organisations across all industries are now increasingly offering flexible or remote working options. Engineers are included amongst those workers who feel they could sometimes benefit from flexi-time or working from home, and where those options are viable, it\'s worth considering them for your people.</p>\\n<p>In today\'s fast-paced world, stresses and strains can often be caused by employees feeling they lack work/life balance. If you can help your staff to feel like they\'re back in control of their lives, it could seriously increase wellbeing.</p>\\n<p><strong>6. Implement recognition initiatives.</strong></p>\\n<p>Everyone likes to feel valued and feeling undervalued can have a negative effect on your employees\' mental health. Whilst bonus schemes and attractive benefits packages will always help with employee motivation, your initiatives don\'t necessarily need to break your budget. Be creative! Offer frequent and low-cost rewards and competitions within your teams - prizes could include things like a free lunch, a bottle of wine or an early Friday finish.</p>\\n<p>And don\'t underestimate the power of a simple \'thank you\', Sometimes it\'s all that\'s needed to boost a worker\'s morale and reduce stress levels.</p>\\n<p><strong>7. Encourage health and well-being.</strong></p>\\n<p>As the leader of your people, it\'s in your interests, and those of your business, to ensure the well-being of your employees. Check whether people are taking a lunch hour and regular breaks. Often stress can be reduced simply by some \'time out\' and a breather away from their tasks.</p>\\n<p>Also encourage mindfulness, relaxation techniques and exercise. Organise group walks at lunchtimes or offer free fruit to your staff - a healthy body often leads to a healthy mind.</p>\\n<p>Employees across the globe are increasingly taking steps to better manage work-related stress. Remember, you\'re not a medical expert but you do have an obligation to your organisation and team to be the best manager you can be. That involves having the ability to identify, manage and reduce stressful situations that can arise within your workplace.</p>\\n<p>The most important advice to give to a stressed, depressed or anxious employee is to seek professional medical help. Encourage them to talk to a GP or mental health specialist, whilst doing all you can to make your working environment as attractive and rewarding as possible.&nbsp;</p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Stress is an important consideration for every employer in 2020."},"url_slug":"a-managers-role-in-managing-stress","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:05.298Z","updated_at":"2024-05-01T11:56:32.888Z"},{"id":"5d816b28-b204-4a3c-843f-ad23a8b2b3fa","tag":{"en":["Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":"2020-4-1"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/vkmsf758ys04hpmaohpjwuy809of"},"title":{"en":"Business as usual during COVID-19"},"author":{"en":"Paul Nolan"},"content":{"en":"<p>With the current COVID-19 pandemic situation changing daily, we wanted to assure you that Carbon60, as part of the Vertage are doing everything we can to keep our candidates, customers and our own employees safe.</p>\\n<p>This includes limiting travel to client sites and events to slow down the spread of the virus, working from home wherever possible and following all government advice.

If you don\'t have them, train them. Yet in reality this training is expensive and takes staff away from the business and out of productive work in other roles.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>That is where we need to look at this problem differently. There is apprenticeship funding available in the form of your apprenticeship levy, meaning you could make your costly aviation engineering training cost neutral. Now I know y

1ou want to know more.</p>\\n<p><strong>The apprenticeship levy isn\'t just another tax for big businesses</strong></p>\\n<p>When the apprenticeship levy was introduced in 2017 many corporate businesses saw it as an additional tax. It is true that all businesses with a wage bill over &pound;3m need to pay 0.5% into the apprenticeship levy, but this isn\'t a tax, it\'s an investment piece.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>You can draw down from this pot to fund training and development for your workforce and, if it runs out, you only pay 5% of the training costs, with the rest funded by the government.</p>\\n<p>If an employer has not paid the levy and would like to train an apprentice, they need to co-invest. For new starters from 1st April 2019, the employer has to pay 5% of the cost of training and assessment for their apprentices. Government funding of 95% is provided to cover the remaining costs.</p>\\n<p><strong>I thought apprenticeships were for 16-18-year-olds?</strong></p>\\n<p>It\'s a common misconception that apprenticeships are reserved for school leavers as an entry to the world of work. Yet apprenticeships are available to everyone in your workplace, regardless of age or ability. It doesn\'t just have to be for new employees either. You can enroll your current staff on an apprenticeship at any time.</p>\\n<p>Over a third of employees at Carbon60 are enrolled in an apprenticeship, from Level 2 Business Administration to Level 5 CMI Management, aged from 18 to our oldest learner in their late 50s, and all funded by the apprenticeship levy.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong>You have 24 months to use it, or you\'ll lose it</strong></p>\\n<p>Once money is added to your levy pot, it has a life span of just two years, so this really is a use-it-or-lose-it scenario.</p>\\n<p>But this shouldn\'t discourage you from accessing it, as you are adding to the levy every month with your payroll. So as &pound;1 expires it is likely another is being added and can continue to fund training.</p>\\n<p>I would encourage you to take the time to consider accessing your apprenticeship levy, so as not to lose out, and to ensure the funding is utilised to increase productivity and ultimately aid the growth of your business.

What are they wearing? What are they holding? Where are they? Are they a man or a woman? You\'ve probably got a very specific image in your head, and we want to help change that. We\'re submitting a selection of photos to the Royal Academy of Engineering\'s (RAE) #ThisIsEngineering collection, that will help the engineering sector to increase the diversity of its visual representation.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>A <a href=\\"https://www.raeng.org.uk/news/news-releases/2019/november/ai-reveals-misrepresentation-of-engineers-online\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener\\">recent study</a>&nbsp;by the RAE analysed more than 1,100 images of engineers found online and using Artificial Intelligence (AI), generated images based on the analysis. Most of those images were of white men in hard hats - hardly an exhibition of the diversity that\'s present in the industry. You get the same results from Google Images, where 63% of the first page of images for \'engineer\' contain men in hard hats. Based on this research the Academy, and over 100 companies including the BBC, Facebook, Google and EDF Energy have pledged to increase the public visibility of more representative images of engineers and engineering.</p>\\n<p>Engineering has been a male-dominated profession for centuries, and although women now make up 12.37% of the UK engineering workforce, they\'re still drastically under-represented.</p>\\n<h3>What\'s it really like to be a woman working in STEM?</h3>\\n<p>As a specialist recruitment company that works with engineering candidates every day, we wanted to get the female side of the story. We approached women in the engineering sector to hear their experiences about education, discrimination, mentoring and their working environment, and to take some photos of our own to submit to the RAE.</p>\\n<p>Paige Seaton works on an engineering shop floor, working on sensors that eventually make their way into aircraft, both commercial and military. She\'s in her 20s and worked in a factory, building diesel engines, before starting at her current role last year. We asked her some questions about working in an engineering environment.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>What made you want to enter the engineering field?</strong></h3>\\n<p>I wanted to do something to prove that this isn\'t just a man\'s job.</p>\\n<h3><strong>What difficulties have you faced (if any) during your career?</strong></h3>\\n<p>None to date!</p>\\n<h3><strong>Have you experienced any sort of discrimination in the workplace?</strong></h3>\\n<p>There was a time when I was being given precious jobs by my line leader that were never given to men.</p>\\n<h3><strong>How was this dealt with and were you satisfied with the results?</strong></h3>\\n<p>

1I went to management to discuss this issue, and it was resolved.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Have you ever had a female mentor in the workplace, and how did it affect your career?</strong></h3>\\n<p>Yes I have. I was happier and got on better with her than my previous male managers. It was easier to speak to her about things, and I felt more comfortable going to her with problems I was facing, as I felt like she would be more understanding.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Can you share a positive experience from your career that has motivated you to keep moving forward?&nbsp;</strong></h3>\\n<p>Yes - I\'ve been able to prove people wrong who thought I wasn\'t up to the job, and that feels great!</p>\\n<p>Paige has no formal engineering education and found her role through a family friend. She received two weeks of intense training, with written tests throughout to prove she understood the concepts. Her lack of engineering-specific education isn\'t surprising, considering the statistics around young girls and the subjects they study at school.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>STEM statistics for girls in secondary/further education</strong></h3>\\n<p>Nearly half of all girls would consider a job in engineering between the ages of 11-14, which is a really encouraging number. As they get older however, this number drops by 21% by the time they reach their A Levels. Comparably, boys have a similar drop-off rate, but the number is far higher to begin with, at around 70%. Only 25% of girls are still looking at a career in engineering at 16-18, even though the take-up of STEM GCSEs is similar between the two genders, and girls consistently outperform boys in STEM A Levels, including Maths, Further Maths, ICT, Technology and Design. Female engineering university students are also more likely to go on and get a First Class or Upper Second-Class degree, so what is happening between the ages of 14 and 16 to cause such a dramatic change of heart for these girls?&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>Female role models</strong></h3>\\n<p>Only around 17% of STEM lecturers in UK universities are female. To become a professor, it can take 8 years or more of higher education, so by the time women are 30, they may have just started their careers in teaching. This is of course the case for men as well, but if the women in question have chosen to take a career break in their 20s in order to have children, this can result in a further delay. When young women are researching higher education, and they don\'t feel represented, they\'re more likely to be reluctant to apply for the courses.</p>\\n<p>If young women make it through their education, and then go on to look for roles in the sector, when only 12% of the engineering workforce is female, they may feel they will be unsupported when they start work, and when you don\'t see people like you, it\'s easy to assume that you don\'t belong. Men can be just as understanding as women of course, but they simply don\'t understand some of the pressures and difficulties that women can face in the workplace. Faye Jackson, a consultant at Carbon60 who specialises in engineering roles said:&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong>\\"The lack of female role models in engineering workplaces makes it really difficult for women to see themselves working these roles. It can feel daunting when you\'ve got no-one who understands the specific problems you might be facing, and it\'s easy to feel unsupported, which makes women reluctant to forge a career in this sector.\\"</strong></p>\\n<p>With the figure of 12% echoing in our minds, it seems unlikely that women starting engineering roles will have a female role model to guide and support them in such a male-dominated environment.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h3><strong>What is being done to change this?&nbsp;</strong></h3>\\n<p>Althought 12% is double what it was in 2013, there is still more to be done. UNESCO have launched a campaign called Cracking the Code: Girls\' and women\'s education in STEM, which aims to understand the drivers behind this situation, and try to reverse the trends.

Follow our hints and tips below to make sure your social media accounts are up to scratch.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Privacy settings</strong></h3>\\n<p>On your more personal accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), it\'s best to keep them private, so that you don\'t need to worry about what you post. Why? If a prospective employer sees something they don\'t like, they might discard your application or retract your job offer. Also, if your current employer sees something offensive, it can be used as a reason to start a disciplinary process or even fire you, depending on how bad it is. If you want to keep your personal social media accounts public, then you\'ll need to be careful about what you post, which leads us to our next point.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Watch what you post, especially on LinkedIn</strong></h3>\\n<p>LinkedIn is a professional platform, so it\'s important that you keep it PG. If you\'re already employed, you\'re representing your company online, so it\'s your responsibility to be professional. Here are some things to avoid:&nbsp;</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Politics. No matter your opinion, what side you\'re on, or how right you think you are, it\'s best to leave it alone. It opens you up to arguments on a public platform, and could put potential employers off you if your political views are polar opposites.</li>\\n<li>Anything sexist, racist, homophobic etc. This might seem obvious to some of you, but these posts (especially sexist ones) are more common that you might think on LinkedIn. If there\'s even the smallest red flag when you\'re writing a post, don\'t post it.</li>\\n<li>Negative/controversial. Try not to be too negative on LinkedIn. If it\'s an article that\'s relevant to your industry and will start a positive conversation, go for it, but if you\'re posting for the sake of it, it\'s really n

1ot necessary.</li>\\n<li>Religion. This is the same story as politics - LinkedIn isn\'t the place for religious discussions.</li>\\n<li>Personal posts. Not to sound too harsh, but no one in your LinkedIn network wants to see pictures of your baby, and too many personal details can easily be used against you.</li>\\n<li>Burning bridges. Had a bad experience with an ex-employer or colleague? Don\'t air your dirty laundry online where prospective employers can see it, as it will almost definitely put them off you.</li>\\n<li>Lying. Don\'t lie on LinkedIn. It sounds simple, but the temptation is always there to embellish the truth to make yourself more employable, and it\'s just not worth it. If you get found out during interviews, you\'ve ruined your chances completely.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h3><strong>Social media bios</strong></h3>\\n<p>If you\'re job-hunting and your social media accounts are going to be public, make sure your bios reflect you in the right way. Only include useful information that you would want employers to see, and don\'t write anything offensive.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Have a LinkedIn profile</strong></h3>\\n<p>Having a LinkedIn profile is really important, whether you\'re job-hunting or not. It\'s where you can list all the skills, achievements and experience in one place, and easily update it whenever necessary. it also means that any prospective employer can find the information about you before inviting you to interview or hiring you, so it needs to contain the right information to give the best impression. Here\'s what you might want to include:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>A list of skills that are relevant to the job you have or the job you\'re looking for.</li>\\n<li>Once you\'ve got a list of skills, ask people to endorse you. This is a perk of LinkedIn where current or ex-employers can endorse you for the skills you\'ve claimed to have. It\'s a good idea to message people you\'ve met and then connected with on LinkedIn, and ask them to endorse you, rather than just messaging random people. Another good way to do this is to endorse other people, and they might just return the favour!</li>\\n<li>Upload anything you can that provides evidence for your skills and experience. If you\'ve worked on a project that you\'re really proud of, try to upload a digital version.</li>\\n<li>Update your details whenever it\'s necessary. If you\'re making a lot of changes in one go, turn off \'activity broadcast\' in your settings so that it doesn\'t appear on people\'s timelines.&nbsp;</li>\\n<li>Proof-read everything carefully. Your LinkedIn profile is basically an online CV, and having spelling &amp; grammar mistakes on it is a huge faux pas. A prospective employer might see your LinkedIn profile before they see your CV, so it could be their first impression of you.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h3><strong>Be as active as possible</strong></h3>\\n<p>Using social media professionally is all about the content you share and the conversations you have. Make sure you\'re active on at least a weekly basis, sharing relevant posts, starting conversations and congratulating colleagues and connections on their achievements. Being this active shows dedication to growing your professional network, and if you\'re job-hunting, prospective employers will appreciate the effort you\'ve gone to.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><strong>If you need any more help and advice, or are looking for a new role, <a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/contact-us\\">get in touch</a> today.</strong></p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Your social media profiles can create opportunities, but if not managed carefully, they can be damaging too.

I\'m sure in some cases, you\'re absolutely right. However before you write agencies off completely, read on to see the reasons it would benefit you to use a specialist technical recruitment agency such as Carbon60.</p>\\n<p><strong>Get the best talent</strong></p>\\n<p>According to <a href=\\"https://business.linkedin.com/talent-solutions/blog/2014/03/active-vs-passive-candidates-the-latest-global-breakdown-revealed\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">LinkedIn</a>, only 12% of the workforce are actively looking for a new job, but 85% are open to hearing about new opportunities. This means that only a small minority are likely to be responsive to advertising, as the rest just aren\'t looking - peculiarly referred to as \'passive candidates\' in recruitment circles. Agency recruiters don\'t sit around and wait for a quality candidate to walk through the door (or respond to an advert), they\'ll proactively target your competitors and scour the marketplace for people in similar positions, to see if anyone is interested in new opportunities.</p>\\n<p>A specialist agency either already has a database of excellent candidates, or if not then they know the best places to find them. As they live and breathe recruiting, they have more time to identify and reach out to passive candidates in a way that\'s probably just not possible for your recruitment team or hiring managers.</p>\\n<p>There are strong brands out there, yours may be one of them. But a candidate has greater access to the employment market through registering with a third party. Many who decide to start actively looking for a job are more likely to register with a specialist agency first. This increases significantly in the temporary workforce and specialist contractor marketplace.</p>\\n<p><strong>More efficient</strong></p>\\n<p>Most agencies are able to manage the whole process. Agencies can save you time sifting through countless CVs and provide you with only the best. For instance, Carbon60 can provide vetting, arrange interviews, relay feedback and negotiate the offer. In addition, due to the large pool of candidates, temporary roles can be filled at short notice. We can turn a month-long search into one that lasts only a few days, as our experts can understand your niche and find the right people quickly.</p>\\n<p>In small companies especially, employees\' time is already stretched thin, therefore recruiting in-house doesn\'t make for a wise investment of resources, so reducing the in-house resource you use for recruitment saves not only your time, but money too.</p>\\n<p>As recruitment is their core function, agencies can invest more in recruiting tools, job-board credits and candidate management te

1chnology, automating where possible, resulting in both time and cost efficiencies.</p>\\n<p><strong>Cost saving</strong></p>\\n<p>Posting job adverts is expensive, so we cover that cost and not only post them on your behalf, but create awesome adverts for you too. A decent agency will always provide replacements or rebates if they provide someone that you\'re not happy with.</p>\\n<blockquote><em>\\"Within our Engineering Technology division, we have a diamond guarantee that goes beyond recruitment standard practices. We are so confident that your new hires will be the right fit for your business, that if you\'re not happy with one of our candidates or the service we provide, you don\'t pay. In fact, we go further than that - if we place someone in a permanent position and they leave within the first 100 days, and we aren\'t able to re-fill it for you, we refund you 110%.\\" </em>- <strong>James Spurling, Associate Director, Carbon60.&nbsp;</strong></blockquote>\\n<p><strong>Give us a try!</strong></p>\\n<p>We hope those are enough compelling reasons to use a specialist recruitment agency if you don\'t already, and we would love to chat to you if you\'re looking to use our services in future.</p>\\n<p><strong>Call us on 01329 227000 or email us at&nbsp;<a href=\\"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Specialist%20Recruitment\\">[email protected]</a></strong></p>"},"country":{"en":["United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Hear us out - this is why you should use Carbon60."},"url_slug":"we-dont-use-agencies","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:07.140Z","updated_at":"2024-03-19T15:46:06.699Z"},{"id":"51321d67-1913-48ba-ac72-b6376bb7e82e","tag":{"en":["Career Advice","Defence"]},"date":{"en":"2019-4-3"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/bc5wr56pbm3w2mtzcmwp51c8cwa2"},"title":{"en":"Profile: Squadron Leader Bruno Wood"},"author":{"en":""},"content":{"en":"<p>Bruno Wood is an Associate Director, and Head of Government Projects at Carbon60.

We pledged to walk, run, cycle, swim &amp; cross-train our way there (without actually going down-under), while raising money for Mind UK in the process. Whoever wants to take part makes a promise that includes the number of miles they&rsquo;re going to travel, and how much money they think they can raise. A tracker captures your daily activity, miles promised, and miles completed, and a weekly total-tracker will show us how many miles we&rsquo;ve clocked up against our target.

This makes it a problem that everyone needs to be aware of, as it can affect work performance, and lead to sick days that could otherwise be avoided.

This is creating a skills shortage that is costing the UK economy &pound;6.3 billion a year.</p>\\n<p>The construction industry in particular has felt the effects of the skills crisis. According to the CITB&rsquo;s Construction Skills Network report, the UK will need 158,000 additional construction workers to meet hiring demand over the next five years. This is due to an ageing workforce, not enough new talent going into the industry and the overseas talent pool reducing due to Brexit uncertainties.</p>\\n<p>One area in which untapped talent can be found is with ex-offenders, people who are quite often (rightly or wrongly) discriminated against when it comes to securing work.</p>\\n<p>Could hiring ex-offenders fix the skills shortage?</p>\\n<p>There are over eleven million people in the UK with a conviction, many of these are discriminated against and don&rsquo;t even get to the interview stage because of the application form question.</p>\\n<blockquote>75% of employers admit discriminating against applicants with a criminal conviction<sup>5</sup></blockquote>\\n<h2>Ban the Box</h2>\\n<p>Ban the Box is a campaign which asks UK employers (not just in construction) to remove the criminal conviction tick box from job application. The aim is to reduce the number of ex-offenders having their application immediately discarded due to preconceptions of what an ex-offender would be like as an employee.</p>\\n<p>There are many benefits to this such as having access to a larger, more diverse talent pool, which could not only address skill shortages, but also improve diversity within a company. Giving ex-offenders an equal chance of employment can increase employee loyalty, with one national high street brand reporting an 83% retention rate for ex-offenders, which is higher than that of the rest of their workforce. It&rsquo;s also great for improving the reputation of a company; 65% of organisations who promote their efforts to hire ex-offenders have reported a positive reaction. Removing the conviction tick box from job application forms can be tied in neatly with a company&rsquo;s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) manifesto, with construction heavy-hitters such as Kier, Costain and Interserve on board to name a few.</p>\\n<p>Out of the 850,000 jobs covered by Ban the Box, only 14% of them are in the construction industry. This leaves a lot of scope for more construction employers to sign up and improve their chances of finding the talent they need.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Construction training</h2>\\n<p>According to a report by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ); ex-offenders who don&rsquo;t secure a job within 12 months of leaving custody are more likely to re-offend.</p>\\n<blockquote>Re-offending costs the UK approximately &pound;15 billion a year.</blockquote>\\n<p>The MoJ are trying to reduce re-offending rates by training ex-offenders to enter the construction industry. There are 150 prisons in the UK, with half of them offering construction training courses. A charity and training company &lsquo;Bounce Back&rsquo; co-ordinate a training programme at HMP Brixton where around 300 prisoners take part in one of five construction courses: CSCS, painting and decorating, scaffolding, drylining, and health and safety.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Every year around 240 prisoners will leave HMP Brixton with a qualification. The MoJ estimates that around 2,000 prisoners did construction training courses in the 2017/18. academic year.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\\n<p>With the massive skill shortages currently in the construction industry, these shortages are only expected to get worse following Brexit and the reduced flow of overseas talent. The Ban the Box campaign is helping to give ex-offenders the chance for a fresh start by removing the barriers in the recruitment process. This in turn benefits construction companies by plugging skill gaps, improving their company reputation, while at the same time contributing positively to the local community. The construction training courses being offered at prisons such as HMP Brixton are not only providing new skills or upskilling people, but also creating an additional source of untapped talent.

It\'s still important to prepare for IR35, so if you have any questions, please don\'t hesitate to contact us.</p>\\n<p>IR35 is a big talking point in businesses right now and with the private sector roll-out coming to medium and large businesses in April 2020, many businesses are looking for answer to the complexities this will bring.</p>\\n<p>Due to its complexity, there is no one-size-fits-all. However, by changing our thinking around how we manage contract workforces, this can be an opportunity to not just mitigate tax risks, but to actually improve the efficiencies of our workforce.</p>\\n<h3>Statement of Work</h3>\\n<p>Statement of Work is how we structure outcome-based work solutions. Many projects are currently run on a time and material (T&amp;M) basis.</p>\\n<p>For example, if you needed to upgrade a piece of software across your business, you would likely need to advertise, interview and hire a team of engineers and induct them into your business, ready to deliver the upgrade. This team would likely be paid on expensive day rates, require day-to-day instruction and management, and be required to attend company meetings. All of these factors (among many others

1) would bring them inside IR35, as well as being time consuming to manage and having no guarantee of delivery.</p>\\n<p>However, under an outcome-based Statement of Work, you can mitigate some of the risk factors of this scenario. Run as a fixed-price project, you wouldn\'t need to manage each individual contractor to turn up each day and complete task X by Monday, for example. Instead, you would focus on them delivering the software upgrade by the agreed date. You wouldn\'t need to hire the team or worry about authorising time sheets, but instead sign off work completed, saving a considerable amount of time and administration, as well as mitigating many of the risks of IR35 compliance.</p>\\n<h3>Shift away from man-management and drive efficiencies</h3>\\n<p>If you change to this way of thinking you ensure your workforce is IR35 compliant, and this outcome-based way of working improves efficiency and productivity too.</p>\\n<p>Effectively, contractors who are paid a day rate really benefit when work runs late, and the reality is you are unlikely to have the technical capability to effectively manage them. But by switching to an outcome-based model you can incentivise individuals based on delivering high-quality work on time.</p>\\n<p>Ultimately it\'s about shifting our thinking from this man-management to working with a service provider and measuring deliverables, even if it is a one-man band limited company. This service provider can then bill the business at agreed milestones and/or on project completion.</p>\\n<h3>What about IR35?</h3>\\n<p>With IR35 coming into place, the traditional T&amp;M resource model also comes with the administration of working out which roles fall in or outside of IR35 and, if they do come within, the additional costs of PAYE and NIC on top.</p>\\n<p>With the lack of clarity, the risk would be that the individual contractors will receive reduced day rates as well, resulting in a loss of talent for your business, further impacting on productivity.</p>\\n<p>If you can focus instead on \\"what outcomes do I want?\\" and enlist a service provider to work backwards from there, you mitigate these risks as well as driving more productivity into these projects.</p>\\n<p>IR35, in our opinion, doesn\'t need to be something to be scared of. It can actually be a catalyst for changing the way we think about workforce management to a more Statement of Work-based way of thinking. Smart business leaders will realise the benefits of this far outstrip IR35 compliance.</p>\\n<h3>Find out more</h3>\\n<p>Want to know more about how Statement of Work could work for your business?</p>\\n<p>Contact us on <strong>[email protected]</strong> or call <strong>01582 958140</strong>.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>*This pages provides information on legal issues and development of interest to our colleagues, clients and candidates.

It\'s still important to prepare for IR35, so if you have any questions, please don\'t hesitate to contact us.</p>\\n<p>With the IR35 legislation reform coming to the private sector in April 2020, now is the perfect time to familiarise yourself with the preparations necessary for contractors who are operating via a Personal Service Company (PSC).</p>\\n<p>Here are three easy ways to make sure you are aware of how this might impact you:</p>\\n<h3><strong>How do I know whether I\'ll be affected by the change to legislation?</strong></h3>\\n<p>You will only be affected if you are working as a PSC, also known as a Limited Company Contractor.</p>\\n<p>Up until now it has been the contractor\'s responsibility to determine whether they fall inside or outside of the scope of IR35, but the change in legislation now means that the onus is on the company with which you are providing services (\'client\') to notify you.</p>\\n<p>Should you be notified that your role is inside IR35, you may want to change the way you operate from April 2020. If you are providing services through a recruitment agency, and they pay your company fees, it would be worth discussing your options with them.</p>\\n<p>It is also worth noting that IR35 only applies to medium and large companies who meet at least two of the following criteria:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>An annual turnover of &pound;10.2 million or more</li>\\n<li>A balance sheet of &pound;5.1 million or more</li>\\n<li>Over 50 PAYE employees</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>You can find most of this information on Companies House <a href=\\"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house\\" target=\\"_blank\\" rel=\\"noopener noreferrer\\">here</a>, but in any event you should confirm with the client.</p>\\n<h3><strong>I have been informed that my role is inside the IR35 legislation. What do I do now?&nbsp;</strong></h3>\\n<p>Firstly, don\'t panic! It might seem overwhelming, but it just means you need to make sure that the way you operate is compliant. Should you choose to remain as PSC, then the organisation paying your company feed will need to make appropriate deductions for employment taxes, and this is likely to result in a change in your contract. However, there are alternative methods of payment for you to consider.</p>\\n<p>By becoming a PAYE employee, either directly with the end client, with your agency or through an umbrella company, IR35 will no longer apply and you will become eligible for additional benefits as an employee.</p>\\n<h3><strong>What should I do if I\'m not happy with the response from the company or my recruitment agency?</strong>&nbsp;</h3>\\n<p>The client has a duty to carry out the assessment using reasonable care but if you do not agree with their findings you can challenge the decision and the client shall have 45 days to respond.</p>\\n<p>You can make your own assessment by using the CEST tool on the gov.uk website <a href=\\"https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-employment-status-for-tax\\">here</a>. Please note however that the client may stand by their original decision. When completing the tool, you will be asked to provide a range of information including:&nbsp;</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Your responsibilities</li>\\n<li>Who decides what work you do</li>\\n<li>Who decides when, where and why the work is done</li>\\n<li>How you are paid, and if the contract includes benefits or reimbursements</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>HMRC has stated they will stand by the results of the CEST tool in the event of an investigation or legal dispute, provided that the tool has been used correctly.</p>\\n<p>IR35 may sound complicated, but getting advice from appropriate sources will help you through the transition period.

It\'s still important to prepare for IR35, so if you have any questions, please don\'t hesitate to contact us.</p>\\n<p>With the reform to the IR35 legislation coming to the private sector in April 2020, now is the time to start preparing. With the onus of assessing compliance to this tax law now shifting to the fee-payer (be that your business if you engage directly, or your recruitment agency partner) rather than the individual contractor themselves. Failure to prepare could result in hefty fines, increased costs or loss of talent.</p>\\n<p>However, this process doesn\'t need to be difficult! There are some simple tasks you can do right now to start this process:</p>\\n<h3><strong>Work out if your business will be affected</strong></h3>\\n<p>These reforms are first being rolled out in the private sector to medium and large businesses. That means if you qual

1ify as a small business then you don\'t yet need to make any changes.</p>\\n<p>A business is deemed to be \'small\' if it meets 2 or more of the following criteria within a 12-month period:&nbsp;</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Turnover not more than &pound;10.2 million</li>\\n<li>Balance sheet total not more than &pound;5.1 million</li>\\n<li>Fewer than 50 employees</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>As a tax legislation, this also only applies to contractors, so you will only need to consider this if you are actively engaging contractors who will still be working on the April 2020 deadline.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Map out the operating structures of your contractor workforce</strong></h3>\\n<p>If you don\'t classify as a small business you need to move on to the next step, which is understanding the contractor base you have.</p>\\n<p>The legislation is aimed at targeting \'disguised employment\' of those working as a PSC (Personal Service Company) also known as Limited Company Contractors.</p>\\n<p>It is essential that you understand which of the contractors in your business are operating in the way so you can assess their roles. Other operating structures that could be in place are:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>All PSCs (<strong>high risk</strong>)</li>\\n<li>PAYE Umbrella (<strong>no risk</strong>)</li>\\n<li>Direct PAYE (<strong>no risk</strong>)</li>\\n<li>Agency PAYE (<strong>no risk</strong>)</li>\\n<li>Other* (<strong>high risk)</strong></li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>*if you don\'t know how the contractor is operating, this is also high-risk, and we would recommend moving on to the next stage for these individuals too.</p>\\n<p>It could be that you don\'t have access to this information, especially if you\'re working with a recruitment partner, so you may need to request this information from them. With this information you will then be able to work out which roles in your business are high-risk, and make the necessary preparations.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Use the CEST tool to assess high-risk roles</strong></h3>\\n<p>CEST (Checking Employment Status for Tax) is a tool from HMRC which allows you to answer a series of questions about a role to assess if they would fall inside or outside IR35.</p>\\n<p>You only need to do this for every role type, not every contractor, providing that they are managed the same, and you will likely need to work closely with the Hiring Manager/Line Manager of that role to gather all of the information you need to be able to complete the questions.</p>\\n<p>If this tool considers the role to be inside of IR35 and you have contractors operating via a PSC, you will need to start communicating with them that they will need to change the way they operate from April 2020.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>If the role is deemed to be outside IR35, great! This means that your contractors working via PSCs are compliant and will not need to make any changes to how they operate. We recommend that you produce an SDS (Status Determination Statement) and share this with the worker and their relevant the recruitment agency. This is your defence in the event of a claim from HMRC.</p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"April 2020 is just round the corner, so now is the time to start preparing."},"url_slug":"three-ways-you-need-to-be-preparing-for-ir35","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:07.134Z","updated_at":"2024-02-16T12:59:54.850Z"},{"id":"5d450875-021b-46da-96e9-885822d3f080","tag":{"en":["Career Advice"]},"date":{"en":"2019-10-14"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/z3177b4y5qevp2zzu4gfb6cibuxy"},"title":{"en":"Carbon60 apprenticeships score top marks with Ofsted"},"author":{"en":"Chris Blackburn"},"content":{"en":"<p>Vertage is an accredited apprenticeship partner, so we are regularly inspected by Ofsted to ensure the quality of our training.</p>\\n<p>Carbon60, who drive apprenticeships as part of Vertage, is proud to announce that we have recently passed our first monitoring visit from Ofsted with flying colours.</p>\\n<h3><strong>What is a monitoring visit?&nbsp;</strong></h3>\\n<p>Every directly-funded training provider will receive a Monitoring Visit within the first 2/3 years to ensure that they quality of the training delivered meets the national expected standard.</p>\\n<p>These visits look at three key areas:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Leadership and management of the apprenticeship programme.</li>\\n<li>Quality of training.</li>\\n<li>Effective safeguarding measures.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>Each of these areas are individually scored on a three-part scale.

We are not quite at the stage of true artificial intelligence yet, but there are pseudo-forms of AI, which we currently use to can make our lives easier and more productive such as digital assistants, self-driving vehicles and even number-plate recognition.</p>\\n<p>There are four distinctive types of Artificial Intelligence: Reactive, Limited Memory, Theory of Mind and Self-Aware and we have provided a brief description for each:</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Reactive AI</h2>\\n<p>Reactive machines are the most basic variety out of the four. They react to current scenarios, rather than rely on data they have been taught. They have no concept of the world around them, only the specific tasks they are assigned. They behave exactly the same way every time they encounter the same situation. An example of this is IBM&rsquo;s Beep Blue, which beat Kasparov at chess. Aside from robots playing chess, (which is impressive in itself) they don&rsquo;t have any other interactions with the world and will respond identically each time.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Limited Memory AI</h2>\\n<p>Limited Memory looks at past information along with pre-programmed representations of the world. This technology is used in some autonomous cars, where they observe their surroundings such as other cars, road markings and traffic lights, continuously collecting data. The idea being the car will avoid hazards and stop when it needs to. However, although the technology is constantly improving, it is not considered fast enough to react to unpredictable hazards such as pedestrians and cyclists to be fully trusted.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Theory of Mind AI</h2>\\n<p>Theory of Mind is an advanced kind of AI that interprets not only the world around it but the people too. This AI has a strong understanding of how people and other things in a certain environment can alter behaviours. &nbsp;

1Being able to recognise people&rsquo;s emotions, and predicting how they might behave. C-3P0 or R2-D2 from Star Wars are (fictional) examples of this. Analysts believe that if theory of mind progresses enough, it could be used to assist elderly or disabled people with everyday tasks.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Self-Aware AI</h2>\\n<p>Self-awareness is the most advanced type of Artificial Intelligence and an extension of &lsquo;Theory of Mind&rsquo;. &nbsp;It is where a machine can make decisions based on its own feelings and can recognise the emotions of humans and react accordingly. This level of AI is still in its infancy because AI researchers need not only to be able to fully understand consciousness, but replicate it in a machine. It is difficult to know how close we are to a fully self-aware, Westworld-like, human replica that is indistinguishable from a real person. While AI scientists strive to create self-aware machines, they are firstly focusing their efforts on understanding the memory and teaching machines the ability to make decisions on experience, the way humans tend to learn and improve.</p>\\n<p>Those are how the four main types of AI differ, each have advantages and disadvantages but useful in their own ways. As with anything to do with technology, AI will improve in unimaginable ways and enhance our lives.

A recent study by the Midwest Economic Policy Institute (MEPI) estimates that by 2057, robots could replace or displace 2.7 million jobs in construction and engineering.</p>\\n<p>Below are some advantages and disadvantages of how AI could affect the construction and engineering industry.</p>\\n<h4><strong>Advantages</strong></h4>\\n<p><strong>Reduce the risk of accidents in the workplace</strong><br>Since construction and engineering can be a dangerous industry, some of the riskiest jobs can be replaced by robots. When programmed correctly, they can be designed to learn from interactions within it\'s surroundings and operate in dangerous environments, resulting in less work-related injuries. Although automation was originally used to increase productivity on construction sites, it&rsquo;s beginning to prove that the workplace can also be made safer through AI.<br><br><strong>Not affected by hostile environments</strong><br>Intelligent robots have the ability to complete dangerous construction tasks. These may include lifting heavy equipment, digging fuels that could otherwise be hostile for humans, space exploration and enduring problems that could injure or kill humans. Robots can never refuse to do a task, or be distracted by colleagues in the workplace.<br><br><strong>Can replace tiresome tasks</strong><br>Repetitive, tedious or dangerous jobs can be completed by machine intelligence. They are stronger and faster than humans and can work on tasks 24/7 without getting tired or bored. The human brain can become tired and less focused if worked continuously for too long, increasing the risk of accidents in the workplace. Robots will never get tired of what they are programmed to do, and can be used where human safety is a concern.<br><br><strong>Don&rsquo;t need to take breaks</strong><br>Robots do not require lunch breaks, holidays, sick days or wages. They can be set to work on a repetitive cycle, unless programmed otherwise. As long as the machine is maintained and programmed correctly, it can work without stopping. This helps businesses to achieve tight deadlines with 24/7 production, letting operators do the more skilled tasks which require a lot of fitness and experience.&nbsp;<br><br></p>\\n<h4>Disadvantages</h4>\\n<p><strong>Can be very expensive</strong><br>Maintaining a robot can be extremely expensive as they are very complex machines which require huge costs to repair and maintain. They have software programmes that need frequent upgrading to be able to achieve the needs of the constantly changing environment.&nbsp; It is not an easy or cheap task to get a machine to do your job. Therefore, only organisations which can afford them will be able to invest.<br><br><strong>Not able to work outside of what they are programmed to do</strong><br>Robots can only do the work that they are programmed to do. They are not able to act any differently outside of the programming which is stored in their internal

1circuits and firmware. When it comes to creativity, nothing can beat a human mind. A computer can&rsquo;t think differently while drawing, building or completing a task on a construction site. A machine can&rsquo;t think &lsquo;outside the box&rsquo; whereas thousands of new thoughts and ideas comes into a human mind every day.<br><br><strong>Unemployment may rise</strong><br>Experts are debating the impact AI can have on the job market and whether it&rsquo;s something we should welcome or fear. Even with computing technologies constantly improving and industrial robots becoming more advanced, jobs may be destroyed faster than they&rsquo;re created. It&rsquo;s estimated by MIT economist Erik Brynjolfsson that the vast majority of employment is likely to continue to dramatically drop over the next decade.<br><br><strong>Robots do not get better with experience&hellip;yet&nbsp;</strong><br>Unlike humans; AI cannot be improved with experience. Machines may be able to store enormous amounts of data, but the storage, is not as effective as the human brain and with time, can lead to wear and tear. It stores a lot of data but the way it can be accessed and used is very different from human intelligence.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p><br>So is AI really a threat? Although we&rsquo;re potentially facing one of the best or worst things to happen to humanity, there are many advantages and disadvantages of AI. In today&rsquo;s world, machines have human-like abilities, and AI is rapidly growing and improving all the time. All of us should consider what we can do to improve the chances of reaping the benefits, and avoiding the risks by w

John Zampa-Howe worked for the Army for 25 years before deciding to take the leap into a new industry.</p>\\n<p>John, who is now a Carbon60 defence and technology specialist consultant, shared his initial thoughts on leaving the Army after 25 years; &ldquo;I just thought - What have I done?!&rdquo; Like most career soldiers, he was institutionalised and thoughts of discharging made him think of prison movies where a convict was being released after 25 years back into civilian life.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>But John realised it wasn&rsquo;t nearly as daunting as he&rsquo;d initially feared.&nbsp;<br><br>&ldquo;It is important to research a new industry, to minimise the risk of starting a new job you do not understand, with no training. Seizing an opportunity to start again can be a great experience,&rdquo; explains John.<br><br>John offers some top pieces of advice for army personnel venturing into new careers, aimed to support those considering a transition to civilian life:</p>\\n<h4>Maintain and Expand your Professional Network</h4>\\n<p>&ldquo;Despite wanting to leave the Army, defence can still offer you security and stability while you seek out your next role. If you&rsquo;re unsure about making the final jump, Reserve Service can provide great networking opportunities.&rdquo;</p>\\n<h4>Be Proactive</h4>\\n<p>&ldquo;Start talking to people in the sectors and fields that interest you. Create a LinkedIn profile and start making connections with recruitment consultants and leaders in the industries you&rsquo;re considering. Carry out research on the type of career you want to pursue, and look into possible routes to your new dream role.&rdquo;</p>\\n<h4>Prepare for Interviews</h4>\\n<p>&ldquo;Practice makes perfect! Write down and rehearse your elevator pitch. Think about your successes, transferable skills, and personal attributes. Seek advice and feedback wherever possible. Rehearse with someone you&rsquo;re comfortable with and get them to ask you some difficult questions in anticipation of the big interviews you&rsquo;ve got lined up.&rdquo;</p>\\n<h4>Resumes Matter</h4>\\n<p>&ldquo;Research what good resumes look like and start building your CV in-line with the roles you&rsquo;re applying for. Ask contacts in your network to review your CV, and ask them to share theirs with you for inspiration and guidance. I asked my partner to read over my resume, and she tweaked the language away from &lsquo;Army speak&rsquo; so it was better suited to the roles I was applying for. Find a format that is clear and concise and tells the story of who you are through your career to date.&rdquo;</p>\\n<h4>Employers Want Technical, Specific Experience&nbsp;</h4>\\n<p>&ldquo;Many jobs require technical skills or expertise in addition to managerial experience. Getting to an interview on general managerial experience can be hard. Think about how you can utilise previous technical experience and skillsets, and where you can gain more experience that may be needed for your next career move.&rdquo;</p>\\n<h4>Find Somewhere to Live</h4>\\n<p>&ldquo;I found that after moving around every three years, an advantage that came with leaving the Army is you can choose where you live. Pick somewhere within your means that has a good employment rate, and convenient commuting options. Doing your homework and talking to people in the geographical areas you&rsquo;re interested in moving to is key.&rdquo;</p>\\n<h4>Accept it&rsquo;s Going to be Vastly Different&nbsp;</h4>\\n<p>&ldquo;If you&rsquo;ve done well in the high-pressure military environment, then you should be confident in your transferable abilities. You can use your high-level military leadership skills to excel at whatever you decide to pursue. I was a Sergeant Major in the Army and had spent a lot of time in Special Operations Command (SOCOMD) so I had a very strong leadership style and was used to working under pressure. Those conditioned

Becoming a more employable prospect brings a lot of benefits, and increases your sense of self-worth. You never know when you may

1need to find a new job or sell yourself to your current employer for a promotion. Here are some proactive ways you can make yourself more employable by taking action and learning some practical, effective skills.</p>\\n<h2>Broaden your social network</h2>\\n<p>LinkedIn is the world&rsquo;s largest professional network, and remains the best platform to promote yourself and advertise your skills as a professional. Potential employers and recruitment consultants regularly seek out candidates with evidenced experience that demonstrates they&rsquo;re worth investing in. Although social media has many productive advantages, it can also have consequences if not used carefully. Content can be found by your employer within minutes, and can potentially jeopardise potential professional opportunities.</p>\\n<h2>Keep your CV updated</h2>\\n<p>A good quality, updated CV will considerably boost your chances of securing an interview. It is vital to make sure your CV is formatted in a neat, organised, and consistent way, and has a list of your successful achievements and responsibilities to show why your set of skills make you the perfect candidate over your competition. On average an employer takes only 8 - 10 seconds to screen a CV before deciding on whether or not you are suitable for the interview. First impressions are crucial, and your CV provides you with the opportunity to make a great first professional impression.</p>\\n<h2>Volunteer</h2>\\n<p>There are a huge range of skills that can be developed by volunteering, which can help you stand out from the crowd. Volunteering for a worthy cause can help to develop your skills in team work problem solving, and leadership. Volunteering offers the chance to give back to your community, and with our passion and involvement, it can add depth to your CV and demonstrate your passion and commitment to personal development. Volunteering not only expands your network, it helps you build confidence, and gives you experience and can improve your career prospects.</p>\\n<h2>Dress to impress</h2>\\n<p>A recent study, conducted by the Wall Street Journal, pointed to the fact that wearing the appropriate clothes for your industry can affect the way people perceive you and even how you&rsquo;re able to think abstractly. It is vital to dress as you want to be seen: professional, successful, and the kind of person the company wants to represent it. There&rsquo;s a &lsquo;feel good&rsquo; factor associated with dressing well, too. Dressing professionally can make you feel better about yourself and can give you more confidence.</p>\\n<h2>Push yourself out of your comfort zone</h2>\\n<p>Our comfort zones provide safe mental places of familiarity and security. When we step outside of our comfort zones, we are open to the increased risk of stress and anxiety. Although this can be discomforting, it can also have positive results. Challenging yourself can push you to perform at your peak - as psychologists have demonstrated, we rise to the occasion when we find ourselves in these situations, as trying new things can make you more creative and you can be seen as suitably fit to employers.</p>\\n<h2>Believe in yourself</h2>\\n<p>The difference whether you succeed or not in your career comes down partly to believing in yourself. If you hardly believe you are capable of doing something, you will never give your full effort. A strong belief in yourself has many advantages including: recognition of your ability to accomplish goals, a feeling of being uplifted and more satisfied with life, treating yourself kindly and being more motivated. If you practice these strategies, you will discover the comfort of knowing you can do anything you choose to when you believe in yourself.</p>\\n<h3>Learn a new skill</h3>\\n<p>When you&rsquo;re looking for work, having extra skills can make all the difference. Improving your current skills is a beneficial way to use your time and increase your chances of finding employment. If you receive the right training it helps you build new skills, boots your confidence and will help you stand out from other candidates. Employers are usually impressed if an individual has taken the initiative to develop a new skill. It is important to push yourself out of your comfort zone and try new things to increase productivity and creativity.</p>\\n<p><br>Having the confidence to seek out new opportunities and develop your professional skillset will make you more employable, and lead you towards what you want to achieve in y

There are numerous campaigns running this year that aim to promote diversity within the broader engineering sector, and which celebrate initiatives that support industry changes to demographical imbalances. Such campaigns aim to ensure construction industry work forces mirror the communities for whom they develop, construct and maintain societal infrastructure.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>The benefits of a diverse and inclusive workforce are extensive, and the scale of skill shortages in the industry is a well-known, ongoing challenge. Sobering statistics such as those in a 2017 report from Arcadis&nbsp;indicate that the industry needs to recruit one construction worker every 77 seconds to meet 2021 project demand.</p>\\n<p>One of the fundamental problems with truly making changes is looking at how - and from where - the industry recruits. STEM and apprentice initiatives are being encouraged within the industry, but these initiatives are strong leadership solutions for a future generation.</p>\\n<p>The race and desire post-recession to rebuild capability, to second into clients ahead of competitors - to fill vacancies quickly in tight market conditions &ndash; have contributed to an industry tendency to search for individuals from within ever-decreasing talent pools. There is a risk that these recruitment practices could hold back the diversity agenda.</p>\\n<p>According to findings from the 2017 RICS All Party Parliamentary Group for Excellence in the Built Environment, &lsquo;only 13% of chartered surveyors and 28% of trainees are women and across the whole of the construction sector, employing over 2.5 million people, women comprise just 11%.&rsquo; It is inevitable then that if we only consider individuals with construction-specific industry experience, it won&rsquo;t be possible to make significant changes to that demographic in the short term.</p>\\n<p>If we are going to truly look at diversity, we need to look more broadly than just protected characteristics and look at diversity of culture, perception, skills, and experience. We need to look at potential, transferable skills, and the ability to adapt. As well as valuable career returner&rsquo;s initiatives, we need to promote the benefits of the industry to other sectors as part of a career changer initiative.</p>\\n<p>If we are going to address short term skill shortages, we need to start to think bigger and broader. We need to consider where else we can find people who have the stakeholder skills, entrepreneurial ability, drive to deliver, to innovate and adapt. After all, technical ability can be trained, or directed by those who&rsquo;ve already learned to think strategically, understand the needs of clients, lead and innovate in other industries.

It\'s still important to prepare for IR35, so if you have any questions, please don\'t hesitate to contact us.</p>\\n<p>IR35 or &lsquo;off-payroll working rules&rsquo; became law in 2000 where it was introduced to crack down on freelance contractors that could take advantage of the tax benefits but were still considered an employee, aka &lsquo;disguised employees&rsquo;. This was to ensure they paid a similar amount of income tax and NI as if they were employed. Following the updates to this legislation in April 2017 in the public sector with mixed feedback many believe it is a case of \'when\' and n

1ot \'if\' this will impact the private sector too.&nbsp;</p>\\n<h2>Why is it changing?</h2>\\n<p>Due to limited policing of the legislation, it didn&rsquo;t quite have the desired effect and the HMRC&rsquo;s tax receipts fell short of expectation. On the 6th April 2017 the way this legislation was enforced was changed, initially to those working within the public sector. This meant the employer would now be responsible for working out whether any of their contract workers were deemed employees, to operate inside IR35 and deduct the relevant tax. Public sector businesses were now faced with penalties for non-compliance, which now forced them to pay closer attention to the potential hundreds of contractors on their books.</p>\\n<h2>How was the changes in the public sector received?</h2>\\n<p>Contractors responded differently to the changes, but it essentially came down to three scenarios:</p>\\n<ol>\\n<li>Contractor accepts contract at a lower rate &ndash; Not good for contractor</li>\\n<li>Contractor increases rate to cover loss of earnings to tax &ndash; Not good for client</li>\\n<li>Contractor declines new contracts and leaves public sector &ndash; Not good for either</li>\\n</ol>\\n<p>From an HMRC standpoint, the results were positive, but from a public sector business point of view, they witnessed talent leaving in droves and projects being delayed.</p>\\n<p>According to research by the CIPD, 51% of public sector hiring managers had lost skilled contractors as a direct result of the changes to IR35 regulations and 52% had witnessed cost rises, delays and project cancellations.</p>\\n<p>This is now coming to the private sector and will likely happen in April 2019. There is talk however that the autumn budget on the 29th October may confirm differently, especially with Brexit looming on the horizon.</p>\\n<h2>How will IR35 affect me as a private sector employer?</h2>\\n<p>According to the HMRC, the cost of non-compliance in the private sector is high and projected to increase further from &pound;700 million in 2017/18 to &pound;1.2 billion in 2022/23. They estimate only 10% of contractors that should be deemed inside IR35 are currently compliant.</p>\\n<p>Therefore, it is thought that IR35 will be introduced into the private sector in an attempt to curb this, by putting the onus on the employer. However we are still unsure when this will be introduced or what it might look like, so all eyes are on the Autumn Statement on the 29th of October to more information on this. Expert opinion right now is that this could be April 2019 / April 2020 or beyond but it is thought that this is a case of \\"when\\" and no longer \\"if\\".</p>\\n<p>Depending on how many contractors you have will depend on how this will affect you when introduced. If you use contractors as part of your workforce you may be affected in various ways such as:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li><strong>Skill shortages:</strong> Contractor talent leaving the company because it&rsquo;s no longer as lucrative, leaving holes in the talent pool.</li>\\n<li><strong>Increased costs</strong>: To keep contractors you may be forced to pay them more to cancel out the extra tax they now have to pay. These increased costs can add up over time and cause projects to go over budget.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>In terms of how contractors are likely to react, it&rsquo;ll likely be similar to how they did before by either taking it on the chin and paying more tax, inflating their contract rate to cover any tax increase, or even leaving the contracting game altogether and becoming a permanent employee.</p>\\n<p>There are already uncertainties about how things will change once the UK leaves the EU, let alone with IR35 hitting the private sector and adding to the concerns. Some of the Brexit-related concerns such as lack of overseas talent might be exacerbated by IR35 as the number of candidates from the EU is already dwindling. Many believe a more sensible move would be to wait until Brexit has happened before bringing in new legislation for thousands of companies in the UK.</p>\\n<p>Helen Lawrence, Carbon60&rsquo;s Compliance &amp; Business Improvement Manager adds:</p>\\n<blockquote>

Employees need to feel they&rsquo;re in the right place to develop and improve their skills just as employers are grateful to find the right new person for their organisation.&nbsp;<br style=\\"background-color: #ffffff;\\"><br style=\\"background-color: #ffffff;\\">So do your homework into whether you&rsquo;ll feel suited to working at the company. When you spend so much time there, it&rsquo;s important to feel comfortable.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Peruse their online presence</strong></h3>\\n<p>Don&rsquo;t just research the company&rsquo;s history or recent news. Look at their &lsquo;work for us&rsquo; page and social media channels to get an idea of the character and culture of the company. Social media will show how they want to project themselves to candidates. It will reveal the company&rsquo;s human side.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Have a look around</strong></h3>\\n<p>The interviewer might well offer to show you around after your meeting but feel free to ask them for a tour anyway. Seeing where you might be working will not only give you a picture of what it will be like to work there but the office layout, atmosphere and dress code will also reveal more about the culture.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Interview the interviewer</strong></h3>\\n<p>Ask the interviewers to describe the company culture and what they like about working there. Don&rsquo;t be afraid to ask how often the team socialise together. Find out what training&rsquo;s available and whether there&rsquo;s a potential path of progression within the role.<br style=\\"background-color: #ffffff;\\"><br style=\\"background-color: #ffffff;\\">It&rsquo;s also important to find out what the company&rsquo;s plans are and more specifically, whether the team is growing. If you&rsquo;re coming into a team that is expanding all the time, the signs are pretty good. If you&rsquo;re likely to be working on your own with little likelihood of any help being brought in any time soon, maybe the job isn&rsquo;t for you.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Look at the benefits</strong></h3>\\n<p>The benefits on offer at a company (you can find these out on the website or in the interview) can really g

1ive you an idea of what it will be like to work there. Although flexible working is now relatively commonplace, some companies offer more flexibility than others. Working from home or dress-down days &ndash; as well as unexpected or uncommon benefits &ndash; might be indicative of a modern and relaxed working culture.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Speak to past employees</strong></h3>\\n<p>Ask around your contacts to see if you know anyone who&rsquo;s worked for the company. Past employees can often give quite a candid insight into the internal workings of a company. If anything concerns you, be sure to ask the right questions in the interview to make sure any problems have been addressed.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Speak to a recruitment consultant</strong></h3>\\n<p>Recruitment consultants will have a very good idea of what it&rsquo;s like at a company. Although you might expect them to gloss over any negatives of working there, it&rsquo;s important for their relationships and reputation in the market that they&rsquo;re straight with you. And if they want to do business with the company again, they need to provide people who are suited to the role.<br style=\\"background-color: #ffffff;\\"><br style=\\"background-color: #ffffff;\\">If you&rsquo;d like to know more, or if you need any support finding your next job, please&nbsp;<a href=\\"https://www.carbon60global.com/contact-us\\">Contact Us</a></p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Recruitment is a two-way process and employees need to feel they\u2019re in the right place to develop and improve their skills just as employers are grateful to find the right person for their organisation..."},"url_slug":"how-to-make-sure-a-job-is-right-for-you","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:06.562Z","updated_at":"2024-02-16T12:23:45.270Z"},{"id":"ddc0575b-3993-42f4-88e3-c6166eb7a826","tag":{"en":["Career Advice"]},"date":{"en":"2017-9-8"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/4apzyw5fei7ohq8arozjpops5o1n"},"title":{"en":"Preparing for that all important job interview"},"author":{"en":""},"content":{"en":"<h3><strong>Follow the instructions</strong></h3>\\n<p>First and foremost, check your email confirming the interview and do exactly what they&rsquo;ve asked.

Try to think of your interview beginning the second you arrive at their premises.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Think about your body language</strong></h3>\\n<p>Because candidates tend to focus on the questions they might be asked, it&rsquo;s easy to forget about what&rsquo;s being communicated physically.</p>\\n<p>Don&rsquo;t overthink it, but do try to remember the following:</p>\\n<h3><strong>Smile!</strong></h3>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Eye contact is important, but it has to be natural &ndash; try not to stare</li>\\n<li>Sit upright &ndash; slouching conveys negative character traits</li>\\n<li>Don&rsquo;t fidget</li>\\n<li>Relax &ndash; the more relaxed you are, the better your answers will be.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h3><strong>Be enthusiastic</strong></h3>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s an obvious but essential point to make &ndash; enthusiasm makes a big difference. Your interviewer is passionate about their business, and passionate about the role on offer.</p>\\n<p>If you can&rsquo;t get excited about what they do and what they&rsquo;re offering, you&rsquo;ll struggle to make a lasting impression.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Don&rsquo;t plan too many answers</strong></h3>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s worth going over your skills and experience in your mind &ndash; how your ability has developed, and some of the key achievements in your career. But planning answers to specific questions is risky. It&rsquo;s impossible to know exactly what will be asked, and your answers will be difficult to memorise.</p>\\n<p>Too much rehearsal leads to stiff and nervous answers. Talk confidently and naturally, rather than as if you&rsquo;re recalling a script.</p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":true},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Occasionally, charisma alone can get you through an interview successfully.

However, the majority of reasons people tend to leave are within the control of their employer. Here&rsquo;s the top 5 reasons people leave their jobs and how you can improve employee retention:</p>\\n<h3><strong>Pay&nbsp;</strong></h3>\\n<p>If you have a good relationship with your employee, offer a great benefits package and a highly competitive salary already, it is likely that any employee who moves for &pound;1,000 more a year probably didn&rsquo;t value the job too much in the first place. Rather than allowing your staff to run out of the door at the first wave of a higher pay cheque, ensure you offer them long-term growth and a clear career path where they can increase their salary at your company through internal promotions. If an employee isn&rsquo;t happy with their current salary, sit down with them and find out more about their expectations so you can both manage them accordingly.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Location </strong></h3>\\n<p>Unfortunately this may be the one reason which is actually out of your control. If your employee is struggling with the daily commute and/or relocates due to personal reasons then it may be best for both of you if they left. On the other hand, if you&rsquo;

1re a national/global wide organisation and have offices in various locations you may be able to offer them a transfer. An employee may have no choice but to leave their current position if the commute is getting too much for them but the offer of a transfer could be just the answer to keep them.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Non-flexible working&nbsp;</strong></h3>\\n<p>In this day and age most companies now offer flexible working so if you&rsquo;re not, maybe you should ask yourself, why? Flexible working is more than just working from home and can be anything from flexible hours to allowing employees to work from different locations. The potential benefits includes a more efficient and productive organisation, more motivated employees, better customer service and increased staff retention. This will also help attract new potential employees. Talk to your employees and find out what they would like to see in terms of flexible working.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Meaningless work </strong></h3>\\n<p>Everyone wants to feel like they are doing something which is making a difference in their line of work. They may not be feeding the hungry, rescuing abandoned animals or even curing illnesses, but employees need to feel a connection to their work. Tedious, transactional work can often leave employees feeling flat and demotivated so make sure you help employees see where and how their work contributes to the execution of deliverables that actually make a difference in the world, or at least the general functioning of your business. Try to keep their role varied and engaging.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Poor working environment </strong></h3>\\n<p>Trying to stay motivated and driven in a poor, lacklustre working environment is difficult and can bring down company morale whilst affecting employee&rsquo;s day-to-day performance. Does your organization appreciate its staff and treat them with respect? Do they have the equipment they need in order to perform accordingly? Do you invest in their well-being to ensure staff feel happy and believe your company is a great place to work? Employees appreciate transparency and approachable management so be aware that your company culture plays a huge part in keeping employees.&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>To discuss your recruitment needs further, why not Contact Us and speak to one of our specialist consultants.</p>"},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Find out the most popular factors that cause people to start looking elsewhere..."},"url_slug":"top-5-reasons-people-leave-their-jobs","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:07.315Z","updated_at":"2024-04-05T11:46:13.079Z"},{"id":"56456731-fd7d-404a-9e88-89e93bd8fd6b","tag":{"en":["Career Advice"]},"date":{"en":"2017-9-3"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/9yo6n0u3ucmyazla8dm1ylfsoxt5"},"title":{"en":"A guide to video interviews"},"author":{"en":"Alys Frankland"},"content":{"en":"<p>Most of us aren&rsquo;t accustomed to being on camera, so the idea of a video interview isn&rsquo;t necessarily appealing.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>However, given the increasing availability of video technology and the ease and flexibility it offers recruiters, video interviews are here to stay.</p>\\n<p>So, here are a few simple tips to help you through them:</p>\\n<h3><strong>Get the tech right</strong></h3>\\n<p>The worst possible start will be if the video doesn&rsquo;t play, or the sound doesn&rsquo;t work.</p>\\n<p>So, before you start, make sure everything is connected and charged, and run a test to see that your videos are recording as they should be. It may al

1so be worth contacting your recruiter to check the format they&rsquo;d like the video in.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Set the scene</strong></h3>\\n<p>Think about everything the video will pick up &ndash; not just you but your environment.</p>\\n<p>Find the quietest room possible to avoid noisy interruptions&nbsp;<br>Try to make your background simple and neutral&nbsp;<br>Avoid posters, paintings or books that could distract the viewer, and keep clutter to a minimum.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Don&rsquo;t wear pyjamas</strong></h3>\\n<p>Just because you&rsquo;re at home doesn&rsquo;t mean you should dress like it.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Dress just as you would for a normal interview</strong></h3>\\n<p>Looking smart and professional will present you as a smart and professional person, and will also make you feel more confident.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Act natural</strong></h3>\\n<p>People typically behave differently as soon as a camera is pointed at them. But you need to focus on being yourself and appearing comfortable.</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Don&rsquo;t look at the edge of the lens &ndash; look directly at it</li>\\n<li>Avert your gaze now and again, as you would in a normal interview</li>\\n<li>Don&rsquo;t watch the image of yourself</li>\\n<li>Smile, but not constantly</li>\\n<li>Don&rsquo;t fidget or move too often &ndash; stay central and relatively still</li>\\n<li>Position the laptop so you&rsquo;re not too far above or below the lens, which can look odd.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<h3><strong>Practice makes perfect</strong></h3>\\n<p>If you&rsquo;re really nervous about how the video will look, take a few trial runs. And if you&rsquo;re still nervous after that, get someone else to view them and provide some honest feedback.</p>\\n<h3><strong>Allow for spontaneity</strong></h3>\\n<p>Your fundamental goal in a video interview is to make it feel as much like a real interview as possible. If you do that, you&rsquo;ll have a good chance.</p>\\n<p>The interviewer wants to see your personality in action; they want to get a feel for how you react and how you think. So don&rsquo;t, for example, try to write and then regurgitate a script on video. Because when people recite scripts, the viewer can always tell (unless you&rsquo;re a very accomplished actor).</p>\\n<p>Mistakes are fine too. Just apologise, and calmly start again.

Ironically, it&rsquo;s perhaps due to that misconception that the archaic exploitation of construction workers has silently been allowed to prosper within the industry&rsquo;s direct business operations and supply chains.</p>\\n<p>The International Labour Organisation estimates that there are<strong> 21 million people in forced labour</strong> around the world, generating a staggering<strong> $150 billion profit</strong> in the private economy. <strong>13,000 modern slaves</strong> are currently employed in the UK. Alarmingly, <em>many of the businesses perpetuating and profiting from this practice don&rsquo;t even know it&rsquo;s happening</em>. Forced labour is hidden in plain sight. Forced labour is the silent threat of the construction industry.</p>\\n<p>Since the introduction of the Modern Slavery Act in 2015, slavery in global supply chains has become an increasing concern for the UK construction industry. The Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) recently mounted a joint operation with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) targeting construction sites across London. In view of the rise in detected cases of forced labour in the UK, Prime Minister Theresa May pledged last July to spend &pound;33 million on tackling modern slavery.</p>\\n<p>Legislation and enforcement represent a start. But like all hidden threats, the problem needs to be fought from within. So what can you do to identify and prevent these practices within your organisation?</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>Ask where your labour is coming from. Audit your supply chain and ensure all your suppliers are working within the law.</li>\\n<li>Look out for unusual practices. If payment for a number of workers is going into a single account or workers are being dropped off and collected at the same time, the chances are that something isn&rsquo;t right.</li>\\n<li>Find out what your suppliers are doing to monitor and manage this issue. This not only keeps you in line with the law but also helps to shut off supply avenues for exploitative individuals.</li>\\n<li>Ensure you have flags in place to raise awareness of illegal activity and the action employees should take if they see anything suspicious.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>At Carbon60, we feel the industry can do a lot more to tackle this issue.

Could companies expect to see employees requesting a pay rise to reflect growing day-to-day costs?</p>\\n<h2>Millennials</h2>\\n<p>(Those born in the early 1980&rsquo;s to the mid-1990&rsquo;s)&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>Money is not often the core driver behind their career decisions. Aspects such as work/life balance, brand identity, and company values are often the main reasons for choosing their role and place of employment. If a millennial is already part of a company that aligns with their personal identity, a short-term increase in living costs will likely have a negligible effect.</p>\\n<p>Matters like mortgage repayments will also have little influence on millennial workers too because today&rsquo;s 30-year-olds are only half as likely to own their own home as their baby boomer parents. With such few millennials owning their homes, an increase in interest rates on mortgage repayments will have little impact.</p>\\n<p>Millennials are more likely to job-hop rather than ask for a rise, an increase in living costs and diminishing spending ability will more than likely see millennials look for new roles rather than asking for pay rises &mdash; something they would have done prior to the interest rate rise too. But if millennials are seen as the future of your business, employers will need to focus and emphasis the company&rsquo;s values that their younger employees most associate themselves with.</p>\\n<h2>Generation X</h2>\\n<p>(Those born between early-to-mid 1960s to the early 1980s)&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>These people are often homeowners tied into variable rate mortgages. An increase in interest rates will have a significant impact on how far their pay-packet goes &mdash;

1 especially when factoring in aspects such as childcare, increasing fuel costs, and food price increases &mdash; issues that specifically affect Generation X more than millennials.</p>\\n<p>Whilst you would imagine that this would lead to a vast increase in staff asking for pay rises, it may not be as clear cut. The average total weekly earnings grew by 2.2% in the three months to August compared with the same period a year earlier, while the Bank of England noted in September 2017 that pay deals had &ldquo;clustered around 2% to 3%.</p>\\n<p>Whilst this is not anywhere close to the 4.25% earnings growth prior to the financial crisis, a steady increase in wages could see a majority of workers happy with their lot &mdash; especially as inflation is somewhat aligned with earnings increases at 2.9%. Add in tentative signs that pay could be picking up for 82% of workers in the private sector, and initial panic over Generation X workers asking pay increases should to some extent be calmed.</p>\\n<p>But if there is one generation in particular who may ask for a salary increase, it is still more likely be home owning Generation Xs with families tied into variable mortgage deals &mdash; especially as those in Generation X are more likely to want to be more company-loyal, and will want to stick around at their current workplace for stability.</p>\\n<h2>Should employers worry about wage increase requests?</h2>\\n<p>On the whole, an increase in pay packets from workers is not likely to be hugely significant. With more and more employees favouring company culture over financial gain, improving benefits packages, company perks, and modern work environments are far more likely to have a bigger impact on keeping current employees happy, and attracting the highest quality candidates for new roles.</p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"The rise in interest rates has left many businesses wondering if this will lead to a rise on employees requesting a pay rise to reflect growing day-to-day costs."},"url_slug":"does-interest-rate-rise-equal-an-increase-in-pay-rise-requests","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:05.211Z","updated_at":"2024-03-19T13:39:41.845Z"},{"id":"b4a97bee-5a25-4873-84ae-274ebdaa2116","tag":{"en":["Construction"]},"date":{"en":"2017-11-2"},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/7hdozzkht6i5v0xbo4gf44lif47m"},"title":{"en":"The rules of attraction"},"author":{"en":""},"content":{"en":"<p>With a 4.3% unemployment rate and the seemingly endless Brexit uncertainty, built environment employers are finding it harder than ever to hire good people.

Answer the five multiple choice questions below to find out whether you&rsquo;re a superhero, a sensei or a general!</p>\\n<p>1) You and your team have been working on a project for a long time and are close to completion, but the client has suddenly requested for the deadline to be moved forward. It&rsquo;s an unforeseen emergency from a big client and it would really boost your business if the project was a success. Do you:</p>\\n<p>a) Agree to the deadline and throw yourself at the project. This is all on you. It&rsquo;s your responsibility to ensure deadlines are successfully met and clients are kept happy.</p>\\n<p>b) Talk with your team. Do they think it&rsquo;s achievable? Would they be willing to work</p>\\n<p>extra hours to get everything done? If yes, great! If not, you&rsquo;ll need to tell the client the original deadline will have to stand.</p>\\n<p>c) Agree to the deadline, gather the team together and sort out how this can be achieved. The hard work will pay off.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>2) Your team has had a series of spats recently. A small misunderstanding has blown way out of proportion and the atmosphere is heavily charged. Do you:</p>\\n<p>a) Allow the team some time to sort it out themselves. It needs to be resolved, but by making a thing out of you&rsquo;ll only make things worse.</p>\\n<p>b) Bring the team together and talk it out. What happened? How did it start? How can it be resolved?</p>\\n<p>c) Talk to the individuals involved and tell them to get a hold of themselves. They&rsquo;re adults at work. Either they get over it, or they leave.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>3) A few members of your team have booked holidays soon and are beginning to fall behind schedule in the run-up to them. Do you:</p>\\n<p>a) Pick up the slack for them. They&rsquo;re going away on a long-deserved break, they&rsquo;re allowed to wind down a little in the lead up to it.</p>\\n<p>b) Speak to the team together. Ask them why progress is slowing down and what they can do to get back on track.</p>\\n<p>c) Talk to the slower members of the team individually and tell them to get back on schedule. They&rsquo;re not on holiday yet.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>

14) The business is in a bit of a bind financially &ndash; no one is to blame, it&rsquo;s just bad luck &ndash; and the only thing to do is cut salaries. Do you:</p>\\n<p>a) Take it all out of your own salary without telling anyone. You don&rsquo;t want to worry the team, plus you earn the most.</p>\\n<p>b) Talk to each team member individually and tell them everyone is going to have a small salary cut, including you. Be transparent and honest about the reasons why.</p>\\n<p>c) Tell the team about the cuts at the same time, explaining the logic behind your decision and its importance for the business.</p>\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\n<p>5) You made a mistake. It isn&rsquo;t devastatingly huge, but a sizeable problem that will impact the team. Do you:</p>\\n<p>a) Avoid telling the team and concentrate on fixing it yourself before anything goes wrong.</p>\\n<p>b) Tell your team individually, asking for assistance so that you can all turn things around quickly.</p>\\n<p>c) Come clean in a team meeting and outline how you&rsquo;re going to fix things.</p>\\n<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>\\n<p><strong>Mostly As - You\'re a Superhero</strong></p>\\n<p>If something goes wrong, you want to be the one people turn to. You confront issues head-on and</p>\\n<p>deal with problems directly, even if they&rsquo;re not your own. You&rsquo;re willing to sacrifice yourself for the</p>\\n<p>good of the team and everyone feels safe with you as their leader. However, you need to remember</p>\\n<p>that relying on others isn&rsquo;t a character flaw and is sometimes necessary.</p>\\n<p><strong>Mostly Bs - You\'re a Sensei</strong></p>\\n<p>You\'re a real team-player. You believe in moving forward as a collective and emphasise the</p>\\n<p>importance of building a supportive network within a relaxed atmosphere. Day-to-day things are</p>\\n<p>happy and smooth-sailing. All for one and one for all! You&rsquo;re like a gentle, caring parent, coaching</p>\\n<p>others with wise words and logic, but you\'re not always as authoritative as you perhaps should be.</p>\\n<p><strong>Mostly Cs - You\'re a General</strong></p>\\n<p>You rouse the troops into action on a daily basis with a no-nonsense attitude and a black and white</p>\\n<p>approach. You get things done and make the team feel as though they can get things done as well.</p>\\n<p>You\'re powerful, strong and people respect you. You might be accused of micro-managing on</p>\\n<p>occasion, but your team would follow you into battle without a second&rsquo;s thought.</p>\\n<p><strong>A Mixture -&nbsp;You&rsquo;re a Chameleon</strong></p>\\n<p>You change your approach to fit the situation. Sometimes certain issues call for a change in tactic,</p>\\n<p>but try to remain consistent where you can. Your team will feel more at ease if they can predict your</p>\\n<p>reaction.</p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Ever wondered what kind of project manager you are?

It is the very first impression companies will have of you if you decide to look for a new role, so it&rsquo;s important to ensure the document you create is a true reflection of your seniority.</p>\\n<p>Primarily, the emphasis of your CV should be on quality, not quantity. &nbsp;Although you will have picked up numerous skills over the years, it&rsquo;s vital to only show the most relevant information. That paper-round you had as a kid may have helped to mould you into the person you are today, but will your interviewer want to read about it?</p>\\n<p>Your CV should only be a maximum of two pages. When describing your working history, only detail your most recent and relevant roles. Older roles, even if they are within the same industry as the position you are applying for, should be summarised as succinctly as possible &ndash;

1 one or two lines at most.</p>\\n<p>When creating a presentation your audience wants to hear cold, hard facts. Evidence. Quantifiable results. Think of your CV as a presentation about you and provide as much data as you can to demonstrate the impact you have had on the companies you have worked for. Think of it this way: would you rather hire someone who said they had boosted sales, or someone who said they had boosted sales by 85% in 6 months?</p>\\n<p>Ultimately a CV is an advertisement for your abilities to a company, so think of yourself as a brand. What are your unique qualities that make you better than the competition? What message are you trying to get across? Why would someone want to invest their money and time into you? If someone were to invest in you, what exactly would they get? Add as much personality with as little words as you can by using specific turns of phrase and having an ambitious, confident tone of voice.</p>\\n<p>Now that the fundamental information is on paper, it&rsquo;s time to think about your executive summary. This should only be about four or five bullet points, but they are your main selling points. Don&rsquo;t repeat what is already on your CV or use meaningless corporate buzzwords. Be concise, interesting and memorable.</p>\\n<p>Finally, it&rsquo;s time to make your CV look great. The layout is just as important as the content for functional as well as aesthetic purposes. Your interviewer may want to scan through it initially to see if you have specific qualifications that are relevant to the job before they have a proper read through, but if they aren&rsquo;t able to differentiate one section from another they may not bother trawling through the rest of it. Think about it from your audience&rsquo;s perspective: they will have seen many, many CVs in order to find the perfect candidate. Their ideal CV will be easy to read and striking. Use a minimalist, functional layout. There are plenty of templates on the internet that you can look through to get ideas from if you&rsquo;re unsure.</p>\\n<p>Now that your CV is a worthy reflection of your senior executive role, you&rsquo;re ready to apply for some exciting new opportunities.

It should therefore come as no surprise that 1 in 6.8 people will experience mental health problems while at their place of work and 12.7% of all absence days in the UK can be attributed to mental health conditions.</p>\\n<p>Although mental health problems are by no means uncommon, it is still a taboo subject. Many workers fear they will be stigmatised for needing time off or having particular requirements, but things are rapidly changing.</p>\\n<p>Today (10 October 2017) is World Mental Health Day, a day in which people all around the world speak out to encourage recognition, understanding and support for mental health conditions. As suffering in silence can often worsen one&rsquo;s mental state, it is important to feel able to open up at work about your personal situation, especially if there&rsquo;s something that can be done to benefit you.</p>\\n<p>Here are five tips about speaking to your boss about mental health:</p>\\n<p><strong>1 &ndash; Honesty</strong></p>\\n<p>Speaking out about mental health at work is likely to benefit your condition, but if you feel hesitant about divulging personal information you could always keep the conversation strictly medical. Explain your diagnosis or the conversation you&rsquo;ve had with your doctor and print out information sheets to clarify your symptoms and requirements.</p>\\n<p><strong>2 &ndash; Setting</strong></p>\\n<p>Ensure you set up the meeting in a quiet, private space so both you and your boss feel comfortable and can speak freely about this sensitive subject matter. It will make you feel more confident and will also give your boss an opportunity to ask questions if they need to. If you think you&rsquo;ll find it useful, take in some notes to remind you of what you want to say.</p>\\n<p><strong>3 &ndash; Cooperation</strong></p>\\n<p>The best way to improve the treatment of mental health issues in the workplace is to work collaboratively with your boss. Although it is important to be honest and speak out when you&rsquo;re in need of help, it is ultimately up to your boss to decide how that help is given. The more reasonable and logical you are about the situation, the more understanding your boss will be of your point of view.</p>\\n<p><strong>4 &ndash; Benefits</strong></p>\\n<p>By speaking up you could potentially be helping your colleagues. You may be working alongside many other people who have been suffering in silence, and this in turn will help your boss; better mental health support in the workplace could save UK businesses up to &pound;8 billion per year. It might be worthwhile mentioning this during your meeting and suggesting changes that would help everyone in the company.</p>\\n<p><strong>5 &ndash; Rights</strong></p>\\n<p>Under the Equality Act 2010, you have both the right to protection against discrimination as well as the right to request for reasonable adjustments at work to

This might seem like an arduous process, but put yourself in the shoes of a hiring manager. They don&rsquo;t want someone who simply wants a job. They want someone who wants to work for them. </span><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Show that you&rsquo;ve thought long and hard about the role and where you see yourself fitting in. Match your experience up with what&rsquo;s on the job description, and relate your achievements to the types of things they are looking for. </span><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Nobody wants to feel like they\'re on the receiving end of a generic copy and paste application, so taking that extra bit of time could be the difference between getting the job you want, and just being another CV on the system.</span></p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Broaden your job search</span></h2>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">There&rsquo;s many reasons for this. In the current job market, with competition high, it makes sense to not tie yourself into a very specific niche. Alternatively, you may find that the usual job openings aren&rsquo;t coming up as much as before. </span><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Either way, being broad with your job search will allow you to access more opportunities, while also giving you a chance to grow further. If you&rsquo;re doing this, it&rsquo;s important that you showcase any transferable skills you have. Speak to a recruiter if you&rsquo;re unsure about what these may be &ndash; everybody has transferable skills which can be applied to a number of roles.</span></p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Have a quality online presence</span></h2>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">One of the first things recruiters and hiring managers do is look at candidates&rsquo; online presence. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up to date with your skills and experience, and shows you in the best possible light. It&rsquo;s about creating an online brand as well - are you publishing interesting, industry-specific posts and contributing to discu

1ssions? This can help position you as a trusted voice in your area of expertise. </span><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Also sanity check other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, and get rid of any posts which may not reflect who you are now or how you want to be presented.</span></p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Be smart with technology</span></h2>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Upload your CV to job boards and recruitment sites so that you can be easily found. While the most popular job boards are well-known, be selective with the recruitment agencies you register with. They should be specialists in your area and have a trusted reputation with businesses and candidates alike. </span><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">It&rsquo;s also worth setting up alerts on LinkedIn and recruitment sites, so you are at the front of the queue when new jobs are posted. This is a highly competitive time to be job-seeking, and the last thing you want is to find a role that seems perfect but has closed.</span></p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Prepare, prepare, prepare</span></h2>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">If you get an interview, make sure you&rsquo;ve done your research. A lot of information is out there about companies - whether it&rsquo;s previous projects they&rsquo;ve worked on, clients they have, or financial information. Also look up your interviewer on platforms like LinkedIn - asking a casual question about something they&rsquo;ve done in the past will go a long way to showing how well you&rsquo;ve prepared. </span><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Some companies may ask you to do some sort of test during the recruitment process. Give this your full attention and treat it with the same importance as an interview.</span></p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Ask questions</span></h2>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">An interview should never be one-sided. You should also be asking plenty of questions. It shows your ambition and how seriously you&rsquo;re taking the process. </span><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Questions related to personal development, or upcoming projects you and your team will be working on, are really good to ask. Also remember to ask about the culture within the company - the last thing you want is to start a role and then realise it&rsquo;s not the right fit for you.</span></p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Use the gift of feedback</span></h2>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Feedback at every stage of the process is crucial. For example, you can ask recruiters if they have any tips on your CV and cover letter - they are experts in this area, so it makes sense to get their opinion. Likewise, they can give you advice on interview techniques. You can also speak to friends who work in the industry. </span><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">If you have an interview but don&rsquo;t get through, make sure you still get feedback from the hiring manager. Either ask for this directly or go through your recruiter - it&rsquo;s important to know why you didn&rsquo;t get the job or areas you may need to brush up on.</span></p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Be positive with your body language</span></h2>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Whether your interview is online or in person, being positive and acting like you want to be there is crucial. Don&rsquo;t appear downbeat or disengaged - this can easily be picked up, even in the age of Zoom interviews. The more enthusiastic you are with your tone of voice and body language, the more this will filter through to the interviewer. </span><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">If your interview is online, try to make sure you&rsquo;re in a quiet room without any distractions. Test your speaker, microphone and webcam beforehand and make sure you have your notes in an easily readable place.</span></p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Don&rsquo;t lose motivation</span></h2>\\n<p><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">There may be many reasons why you didn&rsquo;t get the job, even if you thought you were perfect for the role. Stay motivated and work with your recruiter to search for another vacancy. </span><span style=\\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\\">Try not to blame others for not getting the job or things that were out of your control. Use each rejection as a learning curve to make you better for the next time.

Excitement, anticipation and nervousness are all very common, but you should also feel a sense of pride.

Do your research by looking through their website, social media posts and staff handbook if you&rsquo;ve been provided with one. Also look again at the job description and any notes you took during the interviews, to prepare yourself for the actual duties you&rsquo;ll be doing. </span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">Finally, it&rsquo;s worth reaching out to your manager &ndash; firstly to just let them know how much you&rsquo;re looking forward to starting, but also to ask them if there&rsquo;s anything you need to know beforehand. Don&rsquo;t feel shy &ndash; even if you&rsquo;re unsure about the dress code, just ask and they should be happy to let you know.<br></span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<h3>Introduce yourself with authority</h3>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">Your opening week is likely to be jam-packed with introductory meetings. These could be a mix of in-person and virtual, but in both scenarios, you should present yourself with a quiet authority. Nobody expects you to be an expert on the company, and if you&rsquo;re switching careers, then they&rsquo;ll recognise that this is an even bigger change. At the same time, they&rsquo;ll expect you to be confident in your abilities and what you&rsquo;ve been hired to do. Introduce yourself, your background and what you&rsquo;ll be doing. Practice this beforehand if possible. Don&rsquo;t be afraid to show some personality as well &ndash; colleagues will be keen to see how well you&rsquo;ll fit in.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"color: black;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<h3>Be a sponge</h3>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">Of course, it&rsquo;s not just about you. Use these introductory meetings to ask as many questions as possible. Show that you&rsquo;re curious and actively want to improve your knowledge. There are no silly questions, so don&rsquo;t be nervous about this. Before each meeting, jot down what you want to ask. This could revolve around how the person you&rsquo;re meeting will be working with you, or even more specific questions around ways of working. With the vast majority of colleagues, you will probably have a rough idea of what they do through their job title &ndash; so prepare questions that branch out from this. For example, if you&rsquo;re meeting with the Social Media Manager, you may want to ask questions such as: &ldquo;<em>Do you use any specific scheduling software for your posts?&rdquo;</em></span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">You&rsquo;ll probably undergo lots of different types of training &ndash; some will be on the job, whereas others may require you to do a course online. You&rsquo;ll also have to do a lot of reading, for example, induction guides, products brochures or recent press releases. Be a sponge and absorb everything. Take plenty of notes during each meeting and training session and review at the end of the day.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\"> <br></span></p>\\n<h3>Get into good habits</h3>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">A new job normally means a new routine, so try and establish one as quickly as possible. Try a few different routes to work during your first week and find one that works best. Don&rsquo;

1t just try and arrive on time either &ndash; be 10-15 minutes early each day. This shows how seriously you&rsquo;re taking this job. As time goes on, you may be able to relax a bit, but in that crucial opening week, you want to give the right perception.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">Ideally, you will have been given a tour of the workplace, but if you haven&rsquo;t, feel free to ask someone for one. Familiarise yourself with key amenities such as restrooms and the staff kitchen or canteen. It&rsquo;s also worth checking out the local lunch spots.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<h3>Crack the company culture</h3>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">We mentioned the importance of showing your personality earlier. Aim to leave a positive and friendly impression on everybody you meet, whether you&rsquo;ll be working closely with them or not. Cultural fit is a huge factor nowadays, and while you may have an idea of company culture from your research and interview, nothing is as good as actually sampling it. </span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">Spend some time understanding the company dynamic. Normally, your email account will have been set up a while before you start, so any messages that go to your team, department or the whole office will be there. Take a look at these and see if you can get some clues about how the business operates. The faster you can work this out, the smoother the first few months will be.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">Some companies will partner you up with a buddy or mentor, but if this isn&rsquo;t the case, try to use someone as a sounding board. They should be able to give you tips that will help you navigate the company. If you feel nervous about approaching someone you don&rsquo;t know that well, you can always use the person you sit next to or someone in your immediate team.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\"> <br></span></p>\\n<h3>Nail down your targets&hellip;</h3>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">Find out what your manager expects from you in your opening six months. Are there specific things you&rsquo;ll be working on, or judged by? Try to get these down in writing, so you know exactly where to concentrate the majority of your efforts. You can also use these as a guide to jotting down some internal goals for yourself. Try to make these realistic &ndash; remember you are new to the company &ndash; but if you feel like you can achieve something, then go for it.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; font-weight: bold; color: #131313;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<h3 style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; font-weight: bold; color: #131313;\\">...While taking an interest in the bigger picture</span></h3>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">While your immediate concern will be around your day-to-day activities, you should also show how keen you are about the bigger picture things. What are the company&rsquo;s KPIs for the year? What products are on the roadmap for development? Ask these types of questions to your manager, or any relevant people. It shows that you have a thirst for knowledge and want to help the business achieve its goals, as opposed to just ticking along with your work.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\"> <br></span></p>\\n<h3>Plan your time carefully</h3>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">Along with meeting different people, there&rsquo;ll be lots of administrative things for you to sort out in your first week. For example, you could be creating accounts for software to use, setting up your profile on various internal systems and filling out different forms for HR. Try to set aside a dedicated slot each day for all of these tasks, to ensure nothing slips.</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">At the same time, ensure you manage your time in a way that allows you to relax properly at the end of each day. The first week can be a tiring experience &ndash; even if you&rsquo;ll be sitting at a desk most of the day, your brain will be working overtime as you try to take in all the new information. It&rsquo;s a good idea to not arrange any social events for that first week, so you can recharge your batteries after work. And at the end of your working week, treat yourself to an extra-long lie-in the following morning!</span></p>\\n<p style=\\"background: white;\\"><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"padding: 0cm; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #212121;\\">Ultimately, the reason you&rsquo;ve got to this stage is that the company and your hiring manager liked you. If you keep that in mind at all times, it should help ease any nerves you have. In addition, by going the extra mile &ndash; in terms of your work and fitting into the company culture &ndash; you can ensure that the first week sets you up for success in the medium and long term.</span></p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"Your first week at a new job can be daunting so we\'ve put together some of our best advice."},"url_slug":"how-to-manage-your-first-week-at-a-job","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:06.698Z","updated_at":"2024-03-14T11:26:48.972Z"},{"id":"2439e467-e45f-49d8-97ab-d4deaebf920f","tag":{"en":["Career Advice","Recruitment"]},"date":{"en":""},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/8g0g7tjcnlfk9emzk8k0w39s4inp"},"title":{"en":"Advice for a career change"},"author":{"en":"Dillan Mistry"},"content":{"en":"<p>Stuck in a job that isn&rsquo;t for you?

It was a pleasure to be able to have this chat with Paul and learn more about the two sectors. So, we headed straight in&hellip;</p>\\n<h3>What are your thoughts on the evolution of the recruitment industry?</h3>\\n<p>I have been in the recruitment industry now for 26 years and during that time, the industry and sector has changed massively. I think it\'s fair to say that when I started it was a little bit like the Wild West, it wasn\'t regulated in any way.</p>\\n<p>Temporary workers didn\'t have anywhere near the same rights as they do now, so if I think about some of the fundamental changes over that period, national minimum wage was one of them, and the AWR requirements in terms of ensuring that temporary workers are paid the same as their full-time equivalents. We&rsquo;ve also had the introduction of pension for temporary workers and the whole recruitment industry has become a lot more regulated and really serves now as a vital part of the economy in terms of how I see it moving forwards.</p>\\n<p>Early technology has played a massive part in a way that the recruitment industry has changed, and I think that will continue to play a part in terms of automating some of our interactions with both our candidate base and our client base.</p>\\n<h3>Where do you see the future of engineering going?</h3>\\n<p>Engineering principally is the art of solving a problem. And engineering specifically has got a huge task ahead of it in combating what is probably the biggest worldwide crisis, which is climate change and that\'s broadly a result of the massive amount of CO2 that we pump into the atmosphere.</p>\\n<p>I think the airline industry will be a part of some of the big projects that will be worked on from an engineering basis and reducing the amount of fossil fuels that airlines use.</p>\\n<p>Clearly, the production of electricity through power stations is another one. We\'re seeing a massive evolution within the UK in terms of moving towards renew

1able energy.</p>\\n<p>So, I think in 2022 (if the statistics prove me right), there are a couple of days where we got up to well over 50% of our power being produced by renewable energy across the UK but that\'s clearly not the case on a global scale.</p>\\n<p>I also think that there will be a lot of engineering focus across the globe in terms of reengineering the way that countries produce power. I think transport, infrastructure and housing stock are all big engineering problems that people need to find solutions from for how we move around, how we live, how we insulate our houses, how we provide effective low emission transport both for public and obviously for the haulage industry itself, which still relies on big diesel engines chunking stuff up and down the motorways.</p>\\n<p>Overall, the problem is climate change and underneath that there are a number of siloed engineering projects that will need to be undertaken to support the global aim.</p>\\n<h3>Would you say engineering is one of the fastest growing sectors right now?</h3>\\n<p>It is, probably for that very reason. Engineering has transformed itself as 50 years ago it was a dirty business - tools, factories and oil.</p>\\n<p>Now obviously most of the engineering takes place behind a desk in terms of a laptop and a very cheap piece of software. And so, I think it\'s becoming more attractive for school leavers, and we have to continue to drive new talent into the engineering sector.</p>\\n<h3>What advice would you give to someone starting out in the recruitment industry?</h3>\\n<p>My advice for somebody starting in the recruitment industry is firstly to be to be patient, recruitment is a craft, and it takes some time to develop that craft.</p>\\n<p>However, it is still one of the few industry sectors in the country that you can enter with no formal qualification and potentially over time, if you learn your craft well, earn as much as a doctor or lawyer.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s unique in that sector, so patience and listening is key. I was taught at a very early part of my recruitment career to listen twice as much as you speak. I think that\'s still serves anybody well entering the industry and doing the little things consistently and doing them well. That would be my main advice.</p>\\n<h3>What about somebody that\'s looking to start a career in engineering?</h3>\\n<p>I would say for someone looking at a career in engineering, you need to have a passion for something, and you need to have a passion for a problem.</p>\\n<p>Generally, whether that problem is transporting somebody from their home to an office or transporting somebody from Heathrow to New York, or changing the way we develop power, the engineering industry is vast and being clear on where your passion lies is key.</p>\\n<p>Developing solutions to problems within that sector I think is really, really important.</p>\\n<h3>Moving into the more fun part, have you got a funny or interesting story that\'s happened in your career so far?</h3>\\n<p>Gosh, fairly early on in my management career I picked up a contract with a logistics company in South Wales. In the first weekend, there was a bit of a spotlight on service and we wanted to ensure we had the right amount of staff but were also able to convey to future staff exactly what the job requirements were, working conditions etc.</p>\\n<p>I actually volunteered to do a night shift at the weekend in the warehouse. And just so I could convey to the teams exactly what was going on, I was absolutely hopeless. I had to be taken aside because I dropped the whole palette load of stuff.</p>\\n<p>It gets worse - I then went on my break and got caught smoking in the wrong place and got asked to exit the site.</p>\\n<p>I never actually told them that I was the manager of the recruitment agency that was supplying the service to them.</p>\\n<h3>Have you got any amusing things that you have heard or seen in the external market?</h3>\\n<p>Probably an amusing thing that happens more often than you think is that I get recruitment consultants contacting me, thinking that our business is a construction or engineering business and offering me candidates.</p>\\n<p>And the first thing I always do is reply to them and say, as I would tell any of my own consultants, it\'s worth doing a bit of research on the company that you\'re targeting before you send that email because it makes you look really silly if you don\'t.</p>\\n<p>I had one just last week offering me the construction professional that we had on our database.</p>\\n<h3>Are there any iconic things that we have been involved in as a brand and business?</h3>\\n<p>

1Over a period, I would say many.</p>\\n<p>I think about the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff when that was that was built, we had a huge team of guys on that in preparation for the 1999 Rugby World Cup in Cardiff.</p>\\n<p>We support some of the largest brands from an airline perspective in the UK. Virgin and British Airways in particular, and we\'ve been involved in the HS2 project in terms of supplying engineers and the design phase of that.</p>\\n<p>We\'ve also done underground stations, roads, schools, shopping centres, you name it, we\'ve been involved in it.</p>\\n<p>One of the quite exciting projects that we have been involved in recently is for an organisation that\'s manufacturing component parts to reduce our reliance on microchips from China. The car industry in particular is being slowed up significantly over the last couple of years in terms of ability to get these particular parts. There\'s a big project going on in terms of building Europe\'s capability to build their own, and we&rsquo;ve placed over 300 permanent staff with that organisation over the last couple of years.</p>\\n<p>It was an insightful conversation to have with Carbon60&rsquo;s MD Paul Nolan, with some great stories and advice. But not only that, in a few more years Carbon60 will be celebrating an amazing half a century!</p>"},"country":{"en":["United States","United Kingdom"]},"featured":{"en":""},"author_image":{"en":""},"time_to_read":{"en":""},"short_description":{"en":"There\u2019s no better way to launch our Spotlight series than with our Managing Director Paul Nolan, bringing over 26 years of experience within the recruitment and engineering space."},"url_slug":"spotlight-on-paul-nolan","parent":{"id":null,"identifier":null},"_order":null,"created_at":"2023-11-27T05:59:06.941Z","updated_at":"2024-03-14T11:23:02.475Z"},{"id":"624acbac-54db-4abe-b30d-5ab8e93fd93a","tag":{"en":["Aviation","Engineering"]},"date":{"en":""},"image":{"en":"https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/xkgcz1ht4qevw9222fd2ue7vsesl"},"title":{"en":"How STEM Partnerships can change lives"},"author":{"en":"Phili Alexander"},"content":{"en":"<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\">Making a difference is something lots of businesses are keen to do and at Carbon60 we&rsquo;re no different, we take pride in the fact that we help companies find the right talent for them, and candidates find rewarding careers.<br></span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\">But that&rsquo;s just one (admittedly big) part of what we do.

They believe that great STEM education builds knowledge and skills that are vital for everyone.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\">Our partnership has led to our own internal army of STEM Ambassadors &ndash; volunteers that work with Schools, Collages and Communities to engage and influence the next generation of STEM talent &ndash; and last year, they spent time at Falinge Park High School in Rochdale, with a purpose to conduct mock interview sessions with students. We strongly believe that as experts in the world of recruitment, this is a great way for us to use our skills to help young people.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\">At one of these sessions, our Head of Corporate Social Responsibility,<strong> Chris Blackburn</strong>, got chatting with a Year 11 student called <strong>Crystal</strong>. She opened up about her ambition to become a pilot. Chris himself has a passion for aviation, while this is also one of the sectors we specialise in at Carbon60. Through this conversation, he brought the aviation industry to light and opened Crystal&rsquo;s mind to the possibilities of an engineering career within it. </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\"><strong>&ldquo;<em>It was very easy to talk to Chris</em>,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;<em>He&rsquo;s very understanding and real.

For example, studies have shown that women engineers make up

1just 12.5% of the total UK tech workforce, while just 9% of engineers in the top career grade are women.</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\">This is something that requires effort from all angles, and we&rsquo;re fortunate to work with many clients who are committed to encouraging more women into the industry. One such client is <strong>Virgin Atlantic</strong>, the world-renowned airline whom we spoke to after realising the enthusiasm Crystal had for aviation. They very quickly agreed to give her a valuable work experience at Manchester Airport. Getting practical, on-the-job experience at this crucial stage of her life could have a huge impact on her career choices in a few years&rsquo; time. </span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\">&nbsp;</span></p>\\n<h2><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\">A First-Class Work Experience</span></h2>\\n<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\">The Head of Commercial &amp; Supply Chain at Virgin Atlantic,&nbsp;<strong>Karl Howard-Norris</strong>,<strong> </strong>emphasised his company&rsquo;s commitment to improving diversity in the industry, saying:</span></p>\\n<p><span style=\\"font-size: 16px;\\"><strong>&ldquo;<em>We will do all we can to encourage as many women into the industry as we can, to bridge that gender gap.

But while the sector grows, talent pool growth isn&rsquo;t keeping up the pace.</p>\\n<p>This means that tech companies have a challenge on their hands; a challenge to not only find the right people, with the right skills, the passion, and the cultural traits to suit their business, but also set themselves apart from other companies and fend off competition for such talent.</p>\\n<p>However, with challenges come opportunities. Thankfully, there are plenty of opportunities &ndash; and ways &ndash; to find, hire, keep and develop tech talent that will not only impact your company, but the wider industry too.</p>\\n<p>In a highly competitive market, where top tech talent is often in the unique position to &lsquo;hold the cards&rsquo; when it comes to where and how they want to begin or progress their career, it is important to make the right moves when finding and hiring.</p>\\n<p>Here are a few tips to help you do just that:</p>\\n<h2><strong>&lsquo;Think like a recruit&rsquo;</strong></h2>\\n<p>The world has changed, and so has recruitment. Traditionally, the focus for HR departments and recruiters was to formulate and improve their own strictly formatted processes, ones which were centred around the business, rather than people.</p>\\n<p>Today, however, it is arguably more important than ever to put yourselves in the shoes of the talent you want to attract.</p>\\n<p>Consider who they&rsquo;d want to talk to; interviewing the right people&nbsp;<strong>with&nbsp;</strong>the right people will produce more insightful, informed conversation. Think about where you&rsquo;re active in your search, considering the variety of channels talent will use. And be ready to answer key questions, not just ask them; the best, most ambitious talent will want to know why they should choose you from their multitude of employment options &ndash; think of it as being interviewed by them.</p>\\n<h2><strong>Invest in (and use!) the right talent hiring tools</strong></h2>\\n<p>There are tools aplenty available for helping you find talent, assess their skills, and decide whether they are the perfect match for your company.</p>\\n<p>

1Ironically, the work of some of the brightest tech minds have created systems and tools that take advantage of the latest technological advances, from recruitment software to AI-powered programs that measure a candidate&rsquo;s task competency.</p>\\n<p>By using such tools, you can systematically narrow down your search to ensure that the hire you make is the right one, for your company and the specific role in question.</p>\\n<h2><strong>Alternatively, invest in a recruitment specialist&hellip;</strong></h2>\\n<p>If you really want to hone in on the very best tech talent available, the help and guidance provided by experts such as our&nbsp;<a href=\\"../../../../../../business-solutions/specialist-recruitment\\">specialist recruiters at Carbon60</a>&nbsp;could be invaluable.</p>\\n<p>With knowledge and expertise built over decades of hands-on experience, and a network of people who understand business needs and what it takes to seek-out and secure candidates for a variety of roles in the technology sector, you can rely on Carbon60 to create effective recruitment campaigns that will deliver on your unique objectives.</p>\\n<p>Finding talent is tricky. For any company. Thankfully there are experts at hand to connect you to the exact talent you need.</p>\\n<h2><strong>Be brutal (in the right way)</strong></h2>\\n<p>You know what your company needs and the sort of talent you&rsquo;re looking for to meet those needs. So, while you should of course treat every potential candidate with care and respect, it pays to be focused on the talent you require, and the particular skills and attributes they&rsquo;ll need to bring to your company.</p>\\n<p>Think about specifics, be clear on your requirements and act accordingly &ndash; the market is too competitive, with other companies seeking the very same people you are, to spend time working with ifs and buts.</p>\\n<h2><strong>Be prepared to embed tech talent quickly</strong></h2>\\n<p>Technology doesn&rsquo;t stand still, and the tech talent with the brightest of minds will likely want to get moving quickly too.</p>\\n<p>You&rsquo;ve put in the time and effort to find the perfect hire for your role, so now it&rsquo;s time to put them to work. The reason you&rsquo;ve chosen a particular person to work with you is because you&rsquo;ve identified that they have the skills and attributes to do the job, so you should feel confident in embedding them in your company, team, processes, and projects.</p>\\n<p>It&rsquo;s best for both your company and your new hire to get going as quickly as possible &ndash; you benefit from their talent, while they get to learn, develop, and work towards producing results from the moment they join, which will not only help them settle, but provide a sense of belonging and trust.</p>\\n<h2><strong>Think beyond just hiring &ndash; you need to keep and develop your tech talent too</strong></h2>\\n<p>You&rsquo;ve put in the hard work, attracted the very best tech talent, and made the perfect hire for your company. Don&rsquo;t let that work go to waste by not providing opportunities for your talent to develop their skills, grow their knowledge and expertise and build a career &ndash; doing so risks losing them, setting you back to square one.</p>\\n<p>Here&rsquo;s a few ideas on how to help keep and develop your tech talent:</p>\\n<ul>\\n<li>\\n<h3><strong>Promote and provide opportunities for learning and skill development</strong></h3>\\n<p>As your new employee looks to build their career, with you and in general, they&rsquo;ll be looking to build on their skill set and experience too. It is imperative that any business provides opportunities for learning and development, but it is all the more important for companies in tech, as the game changes so quickly it is easy to be left behind.</p>\\n<p>Don&rsquo;t restrict learning opportunities to practical elements either; it is just as important to help your employees&rsquo; personal development too, providing them with all the knowledge and skills they need to perhaps progress to management or leadership roles, or simply to help communication, teamwork and to imprint the company&rsquo;s culture.</p>\\n</li>\\n<li>\\n<h3><strong>Offer clear, interesting career paths</strong></h3>\\n<p>After any hire, you should always think about the &lsquo;what&rsquo;s next?&rsquo; &ndash; you can be sure that your new employee will be. Whilst you will have found, attracted and secured talent for a specific role, it is beneficial for both employer and employee to have clear career paths ahead and consider which future roles the journey could lead to.</p>\\n<p>Employees will likely want to progress their career, and if you don&rsquo;t give them the chance to do so with you, they&rsquo;ll go elsewhere to take the next step. Therefore, it is important to have regular conversations about the future, give and take feedback that&rsquo;ll help progression and continually develop skills. Doing so will also hopefully ensure that the company continues to benefit from the talent they identified long into future.</p>\\n</li>\\n<li>\\n<h3><strong>Trust in talent &amp; let them work</strong></h3>\\n<p>Empowerment is, well, powerful. This is especially true for the tech sector and the way talent works within it. Trusting in the skills of the talent you hire, to allow them to get on with the work you hired them for, can have a huge impact on employee happiness, development, and the likelihood of them wanting to build their career with you, rather than elsewhere.</p>\\n<p>Guide, offer advice and support. Don&rsquo;t micromanage. You&rsquo;ll soon discover the benefits of doing so when you allow your company&rsquo;s bright minds to do what they do best.</p>\\n</li>\\n<li>\\n<h3><strong>Ensure effective ways of working<br></strong></h3>\\nHaving an effective, established working environment is as important as the people working in it. Bad practices, poor quality equipment, not providing the tools required to complete a task effectively; these are elements that can frustrate, restrict workflow, and prevent your tech talent from producing the results that they, and your company, want to achieve.</li>\\n</ul>\\n<p>
