Caredig’s Post

Looking for, securing and managing carers is one of those unbelievably tricky parts of being a Deputy, particularly in more rural areas. One of my brilliant case managers has recently brought the below company, Small Good Stuff, to my attention, which I thought I would share. They list micro providers by region, who may not traditionally come up via the more standard searches. #deputyship #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #enabling #recruitment #carers #attorneyship https://lnkd.in/eS-HMNc9

From Enid, Oklahoma, to Everywhere. I'm from Enid, a small town with big lessons. It’s where I learned the value of hard work, resilience, and the value of chasing a dream. Starting out, I never imagined I’d end up here: a licensed contractor, leading teams, solving complex problems, and shaping the future of construction. But it wasn’t an easy road. From sleepless nights reading, to working underground roughs in the hot sun, to the relentless pursuit of licenses and skills, the journey has been anything but simple. It’s taught me that nothing worth having comes easy, and that the grind is what makes the #success worth it. Today, I’m proud to be a member of a team that tackles hard, #emergency tasks—where the work is tough, but the rewards are even greater. From #Enid to where I stand now, the mantra has always been the same: do #hard things, and never stop #learning. Here’s to building something that lasts.

📝We asked employers in #Ontario whether they are currently hiring electric vehicle (EV)-related roles or plan to hire EV-related roles over the next 1-3 years. 📈 A majority (68%) of respondents from the midstream segment of the #EV value chain indicated that they are, suggesting that the manufacturing sector is experiencing high demand for talent with EV-related skills.  📗 Our recent report highlights the immense opportunity for Ontario workers in the rapidly developing #EV industry—if the province can invest in workforce alignment. ➡️ https://goictc.link/gmwd Erik Henningsmoen | Todd Legere | Mairead Matthews | Dr. Francis Okpaleke | Justin Ratcliffe | Namir Anani, P.Eng. | Rob Davidson | Elizabeth Mills | Huguette Camirand | Camelia Mestecanean | Anne M.

I have been frequently asked about how employers can support employees amidst the challenges posed by the increasing cost of living, attracting top talent, or determining the benefits to offer outside the basics. My answer remains the same – SCHOOLING. It's a crucial factor that shouldn't be overlooked. As individuals, many emloyees are parents or aspire to be someday. By providing schooling support, we can alleviate financial burdens and stand by our team members. At Genie, we offer schooling from when a child is 3 months old, believing that there are no excuses when it comes to investing in our employees' and their families well-being. If this can inspire even one business to rethink their benefits my job is done...

When you hire an injured person, you don’t just fill a role! You don’t only just help a candidate progress in their career! You do so much more! You are giving a person a second chance in life , a new beginning and the confidence back to himself/herself and all their family that they are still as productive and capable just as everyone else! Hiring an injured person not only provides an opportunity for them to contribute their skills and talents but also enriches the workplace environment with diversity and resilience. So it goes both ways♥️🙏 #Recruitment Benchmark Rehab #Rehabilitation #ctp #returntowork #healthinsurance

Last week, our small team at The Surpluss received the huge news. Over a year of additional work on top of our own busy schedules. Hundreds of (wo)man hours working on data compilations, business process changes, chasing up verifications. Thousands of conversations that ate away our evenings, weekends, family time. Plenty of doubts - can we make it? what is all of this hard work for? More barriers than we can even list. And, it finally happened. 🌍 We are the first climate-technology start up in the region to become a #BCorp (!!!!!!!!) When I first launched The Surpluss, I wanted to make sure that we built a company culture that was designed for innovation and impact with longevity. No matter whom we hire, or where we open up shop, it would ensure we lead with integrity and reaffirm to our stakeholders that we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of impact for our planet and the communities in which we operate. However, aspirations are one thing, but it is the team that executes them into actual results - and I could not be more proud of the incredibly passionate and STUBBORN individuals that make up The Surpluss. We are proud to be part of a growing movement in the MENA region. B Corps meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability. A huge thank you to Nadine Zidani of Mena Impact for coaching us to the finish line and keeping us sane throughout the process! It is, in fact, possible to make an enormous impact. No matter your company size. So proud of you, team!!!

Self-advocacy is crucial in ensuring fair treatment and growth opportunities at work. Building a paper trail of evidence when encountering unlawful practices like discrimination or retaliation is essential for effectively standing up for one's rights. Empowering yourself as an employee not only allows you to assert boundaries but also paves the way for a more successful and rewarding career journey. By being proactive and vigilant in documenting instances of wrongdoing, you become your best advocate in safeguarding your rights and promoting a conducive work environment.

“Why let someone else’s failure decide your future?” How often do we hear, “I tried that, and it didn’t work—don’t waste your time”? But does that really make sense? Just because it didn’t work for them, does that mean it won’t work for you? What if they didn’t give it their best shot? What if they quit too soon? We see it all the time—people who don’t go for their licenses because someone else said it was too hard. Don’t let someone else’s experience hold you back. Your journey is yours. Take advantage of the opportunities you want to work toward and give it your all. 🔧⚡ #ContractorsOfInstagram #SkilledTrades #ElectriciansOfIG #PlumbingLife #HVACTech #CarpentrySkills #BuilderLife #ConstructionCommunity #TradeProfessionals #SmallBusinessGrowth #OpportunityKnocks #SuccessInTrades #BuildYourFuture

Finding solutions to problems is at the heart of employment. A key to success in the workplace is to accept problems with a non-judgmental curiosity and an open-minded attitude.
