Parkhouse Bell

Parkhouse Bell would like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American colleagues and clients celebrating.

Our Parkhouse Bell delegates have been enjoying their time at the eoa Annual Conference. We are proud to be 100% employee-owned and look forward to 2025's event, as well as this new era for Parkhouse Bell.

Parkhouse Bell Executive Chair Sue Craven and Director Client Services Chris Gee are at the eoa Annual Conference today--along with over 860 other delegates. If you are also in attendance, please come speak to Sue and Chris to learn more about Parkhouse Bell's transition to being 100% employee owned, or to hear about our Executive Search, Talent Mapping, Talent Pipelining and Talent Insights services. We hope everyone has a great conference.

Parkhouse Bell is looking forward to attending our first eoa Annual Conference tomorrow and Wednesday. We are proud of our transition to employee ownership this year, and will be in great company at the UK’s biggest employee ownership event. #eoaAnnualConference #UKeoAwards #employeeownership

As well as providing over 20 million green jobs by 2050, the 'Solar Boom' promises that, "solar energy is the most scalable renewable energy source, with generation costs projected to drop by 60% by 2050." https://lnkd.in/dHHbsV6g #solarboom #greenjobs #sustainability #ecojobs #solarpower #renewableenergy

"According to a Deloitte study, inclusive company cultures are twice as likely 'to meet or exceed financial targets'." While this article specifically focuses on the diverse population and consumer responses within the United States, providing internships and ensuring equal opportunities at work for marginalised groups of people will be benefits to any company. Finding the best candidate for a role may include widening the search and opening more doors. https://lnkd.in/e2_uYehu #internship #diversity #DEI #inclusivity

"Nearly 85% of those surveyed are concerned with litigation related to the use of AI in HR functions, and 73% say their organizations are decreasing the use of the tools for such purposes as a result of regulatory uncertainty." There is no denying that the use of AI tools in the workplace will continue to increase. Has your company kept that increase at a controlled rate? Consider implementing policies on AI tools so employees know where the organisation stands on the use of AI, what technologies they are expected to learn, and how to avoid plagiarism and legal issues surrounding generative AI. https://lnkd.in/e8hxwA27 #AI #AIpolicy #GenerativeAI #AIexpectations

"The current labour force participation rate (LFPR) is around 62%. This means that 62% of the prime-age workforce (16-64-year-olds) are actually working. During the 1970s and 1980s, the LFPR of Baby Boomers was around 80%." Though this article focuses mostly on the United States, it also reinforces the idea that talent shortages are a much more global issue. How is your business creating brand awareness and relationships with potential candidates like students, even before they enter the workforce? https://lnkd.in/eJa6x6h4 #talentshortage #earlytalentstrategy #talentpipelining

Key HR and workplace challenges identified for 2025 are a continuation of what we have been seeing this year. Having a plan for how your company will address common HR issues could help your workplace: persevere through talent shortages, prevent employee burnout, and foster an inclusive and diverse environment. "Organizations must prioritize open communication and adaptability. We know that employee feedback can reveal pain points." https://lnkd.in/gYqygJem #HRchallenges #flexibility #employeefeedback #inclusion #talentshortages #burnout

"A 2024 study suggests slow progress, recording only 0.5% growth in women’s representation for leadership positions in the previous year. Additionally, females held only 11.8% of C-suite roles at the approximately 15,000 publicly traded brands examined in the research." While roles should be awarded based on merit, the best candidate for the job may be someone who has traditionally either faced barrier to entry or been underrepresented in your workforce. Providing flexible working arrangement is one strategy for giving women more opportunities to excel at work. https://lnkd.in/eYzwD2eE #femaleleadership #womenintheworkplace #equalopportunity #flexiblework #womeninthecsuite
