Train! Train! Train! (Growing people outperform stagnate
people in terms of attitude and output--by a wide margin.)

As I reflect back on the FY that was I am very proud of the stickability of the aCE talentNET business and our ability to handle a GFC that took most by surprise. Whilst Australia weathered this storm better than most, when in the business of HR and Learning & Development these are always areas of spend in a business that are the first to feel the pinch... many of our clients did indeed downsize or put projects on hold, but as I told many a consultant that phoned for a little reassurance during the leaner months, it's not personal and our clients will be back with bigger and better projects, it just being a matter of time.... and so it was!  So we say farewell to another financial year and sadly we've been too busy at aCE talentNET to have enjoyed many EOFYSs (end of financial year sales)  !!!

We are extremely excited to announce to our Network that aCE talentNET has won another Government Tender... being appointed to the Panel of HR Service Providers for IP Australia.  As soon as we finalise the contracting process, we are very much looking forward to working with our new client and appointed Consulting Team over the coming months.  And yet more exciting news, was the opportunity for aCE and one of our Consultancy partners to be part of an emotional intelligence diagnostic tool trial with one of our MNC's... so watch this space for one too!  We are very positive about the start to the 2010-11 financial year and what this brings for the business of aCE talentNET, it's clients and consulting network. 

For any of you with specialist skills in Emergency Response Training make sure you respond to the iFindConsultants current tender opportunity.

So onwards and upwards... and remember we are now on the downward slide to summer warmth!

The ‘Influencers of Employment Choice Global Research Study' surveyed more than 400 employees worldwide on what influences their employment choice. The survey found there was a high degree of variation by region, gender, age, organisation type, position levels and employment tenure across fifteen employment attributes such as leadership, communications, work environment and corporate social responsibility. The findings provide a wakeup call for organisations currently relying on a one-size-fits-all approach to recruiting talent. Employer Brand International CEO, Brett Minchington said, “The research findings come at a critical time as organisations adapt to the ‘new normal' where the cost of a bad hire will impact companies more than ever before. Recruitment dollars are very tight and the days of throwing large amounts at marketing campaigns that fail to communicate the company's value proposition(s) are over.” read on ... 7 Secrets to Health, Wealth and Wisdom at Work… Another fabulous representative of the aCE talent NETwork is the team @ RocheMartin .

Instead, the editor suggested using the phrase ‘generosity of spirit.' ‘Why not love?' I inquired. Because the word love freaks out businesspeople,' he responded. Do you agree? read on …
