When it comes to adopting and implementing new software for your labour hire business, there are a lot of critical factors you need to consider and account for. The more of these critical factors you neglect, the higher the probability of failure and inability to get buy-in from your team.
One critical factor that many companies and even consultants that are helping to implement the software forget is the human element.
Let’s dig into this for a couple minutes and explore how humans – AKA your employees and team members – can stop a successful software implementation dead in it’s tr ..read more

So, you’ve made the correct decision and purchased the best fit software for your business well done!
Since you made the right choice in software based on your business needs, it should all be smooth from here right? Sorry, wrong! In-fact, research shows that 50% of projects that fail, do not fail because the requirements were done incorrectly, rather, “lack of system buy-in” is one of the biggest reasons for project failure (https://www.objectstyle.com/agile/software-projects-failure-statistics-and-reasons). So, how do we avoid “no buy-in”.

The software you use to run your recruitment or labour hire business makes all the difference. Sure, you can continue with manual work arounds and tedious, outdated processes, but that’s no way to do business if you want to scale your customer service. The better way as most of us know is to streamline your processes and functions with technology. There are a lot of options out there that say they do just that, only to let you down in the long-run (EntireHR is not one of them obviously). With this dilemma in mind, we’ve created a ..read more

With the devastating Covid-19 causing Chaos and the “WFH advice flying around”. We’re not seeing a lot of practical advice from a leadership point of view that continues running the business but also keeping a check on everyone’s mental health, which should be a priority for every business right now because we don’t know how long this will go on for.
Below is the AGENDA that has been huge for keeping our team productive and happy:
MY ONE INTENTION TODAY IS TO ACHIEVE?

“How has the COVID-19 crisis affected the Australian employment and recruitment markets?”
The feedback from our clients is that it has actually been very different per industry and even the type of recruitment, which has been surprising. Permanent recruitment for the most part completely dropped across the board, except for high-level healthcare positions. The reason for this? Healthcare facilities that remained open really wanted to limit their exposure by having less agency, so the solution in some cases was to hire a full-timer to cover more hours. This was probably one of the few indu ..read more
