Free Webinar: Compliance Training - A Game Changer? ** NEW DATES **

Gamification of compliance and regulatory training could save organisation millions of pounds in fines.

People absolutely hate compliance training, they don’t remember it and they don’t take it seriously, yet it is costing organisations massive amounts of money and reputations.  

By introducing game elements to compliance training employee engagement can be increased, with real time analytics also generating data that can be used by organisations. 

Our FREE 20 minute webinar will demonstrate how we have created data-rich compliance games based on regulatory rules, combining a user-friendly interface with narratives based on real life compliance failures, and 'gamified' tasks designed to keep users attention.  

Gartner has predicted that 40 percent of Global 1000 organisations will use Gamification as the main method of transforming business operations by 2015

Find out how you can better identify and manage your risk through gaming technology.

Recruitment and "The Procurement Conundrum"

We read an excellent article last week written by a respected In-house Recruiter (Gary Franklin - the co-founder of the Forum for In-house Recruitment Managers.)

In the article he talks about where agencies should aim to add value to In-house teams and stresses that "suppliers should aspire to create a partnership and not a one off transactional relationship that focuses on invoices and targets".

We were also gratified to see the comment about the need for In-house recruitment teams to invest time bringing the agency "into the fold".

We found ourselves nodding in agreement and keen to share the article. A lot of it mirrored some of our thoughts and we are currently working in exactly this way with a major UK business that has a refreshingly open relationship with all of their agency partners and is no doubt getting some tangible benefits from doing so.

But what Gary's article was not able to do was to share some ideas about how as an in-house team you can find the right agency to select and bring in to the fold. No doubt the expectation is that they will look at the market place, take a view of track record and reputation and talk to people to find out who are the best out there.

And no doubt at some stage in the future they will look to formalise the relationship to make sure that they can agree a contract that will help them secure preferential rates.
 
When they do so will Procurement be involved?

We only ask because whenever we have been asked to complete a Request for Information for a Preferred Supplier procurement project the questions are almost inevitably:

• Turnover
• Size of business/Number of Offices
• Quality Assurance processes
• Disaster Recovery processes
• Investors in People

We never get posed questions that ask about our experience, our knowledge, our understanding of the sector, the size of our network, our ability to fill hard to fill jobs, our ability to be "normal, natural and honest" with "integrity" and a "degree of common sense and business acumen".

And not so long ago we very vividly remember being sat in front of a Head of Procurement who told us that their aim was to reduce costs to the absolute minimum and ideally reduce the PSL to 1 agency who could do everything.
 
Gary's article finishes with a "the choice is yours" invitation to the agency and we'll do the same to the In-house recruiter who might have read it.

Do you want to partner a Recruitment Consultant able to add value to your team and prepared to invest in a long term relationship? Or do you want to have an agency on the PSL with 50 offices from Lands End to John O-Groats and a really flash Disaster Recovery process?

If it is the former then you might want to take an active involvement in any procurement process as otherwise you may not get what you want.
