The new face of recruitment- a chat with Lily Shippen

The COVID-19 outbreak has caused uncertainty across the world, especially in the economic sector, where jobs are being nervously propped up by companies who have no idea when life will return to normal.  But as Gavin and his special co-host, recruitment expert Lily Shippen discuss this week, it’s equally as important to consider the wellbeing of CEOs and MDs at this time, who are facing equal, if not greater levels of uncertainty. Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod KEY TAKEAWAYS  It’s important to consider CEOs and MDs when it comes to emergency planning and the impact of quarantine. They have families too, and the pressure facing them from the anxious workforce and stakeholders only adds to that pressure. Most business leaders, who are now being seen as “emergency workers”, have not received the same level of emergency training as those in other vital sectors, such as the NHS and military. Communication is even more important at this time, perhaps even more important than simply setting tasks and providing a workload. Visibility is crucial. This situation has proven that valuable output can be achieved through working at home. We have learned many lessons about where costs can be cut, and how our businesses can thrive more remotely. It is our responsibility as employees to be there for those who are trying to keep the wheels moving. This is remarkable opportunity to prove your worth and to develop and deepen business relationships.  BEST MOMENTS ‘A good PA can help a punch-drunk MD with the emotional side of this’  ‘Visibility of leadership is massively important’  ‘We should be thinking about pressing the START button again on the business’  ‘Do your best to deliver, deliver, deliver!'
