Across The Extreme Business 100 landscape, clients are reporting record responses to non-clinical recruitment - it seems the employee population of Britain is looking for work.
Front of House, Marketing, Admin Support - no problem - lots of applications to choose from.
The opposite for clinical recruitment and retention.
Nursing, GDC-registered TCOs, Hygienists, Therapists and Dentists:
Lots of applications again from overseas;
Not so many home-grown applications;
Existing clinical team members
asking to reduce their hours/days;
asking for extended holidays and sabbaticals;
refusing to deliver NHS dentistry.
All of this at a time when the new Labour Government want to bear down on Employers with taxation and legislation.
Also a time when operating costs are up and profit margins are down.
Is it any wonder that I'm asking my clients to pay more attention to the details in their businesses?
As someone once said, "profit doesn't pour out of a business, it leaks out through the tiny cracks."
All of the above is indicative of a "half empty bottle" - but I also believe that the bottle is half-full of opportunity for those who are attentive and agile.
In 1995, Michael Gerber published "The E-Myth Revisited" and taught us that every business has 5 basic systems:
Financial;
Lead Generation:
Lead Conversion:
Operations;
People.
The only thing that has changed is the impact that technology is having on each of these systems.
The devil is in the detail. Pay more attention.
