Announcement Incoming… Investors in People (IIP) have assessed our company, and Geosynthetics Ltd can proudly announce we have been awarded with Investors In People ‘We Invest In People’ Silver accreditation. Our silver accreditation, which only 15% of companies achieve; means that the right principles are in place but more than that, it means people and leaders are making active efforts to make sure that there’s real consistency and everyone in the team are feeling the effects! Did you know on average: ·       85% of Employees are not engaged at work ·       73% would think about leaving if the right opportunity came along ·       71% of Employees are not happy with their career opportunities ·       1 in 3 Staff are simply bored Investors In People Silver Accreditation shows not only is a company taking active steps to ensure this isn’t the case in their workplace, but part of the process is also interviews with a number of randomly selected team members and their feedback on how they feel in their workplace, to receive silver accreditation based on this feedback shows Geosynthetics Ltd doesn’t sit in these statistics and the efforts from the company have been well received from our team members. Without our strong team the company wouldn’t be the success it is today so it is our priority to ensure they feel valued within the business. Tracy Woods, Managing Director, was presented with the Silver Investors In plaque by Kerry Ireland.

🌟This is truly a milestone to cherish🌟   I'm filled with immense joy and deep respect as I share a milestone close to my heart — **Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) has named me one of their 40 Under 40 in the staffing industry for 2024**.   My formative experiences with the young minds at Bright Horizons have mirrored my journey at Loyal Source, where challenging the status quo and nurturing innovation are part of our ethos. The values of leadership, empathy, ingenuity, and persistence that I've carried forward from my days as a preschool teacher have not merely grown; they have catapulted me to visions and achievements that were once just dreams.   I'm profoundly grateful to SIA for this distinguished honor and for valuing the infusion of new perspectives in our dynamic industry. Seeing my endeavors in marketing automation and my role as the chair and editor of the Loyal Source’s DE&I Committee be recognized is nothing short of exhilarating. It reaffirms my belief that innovative thinking is key to energizing our field.   I extend my sincerest thanks to Loyal Source Government Services for fostering a culture where personal passion ignites collective achievement. This distinction echoes the tireless efforts of all who tirelessly seek progress and champion inclusivity. Together, we're pioneering change and forging a future where unity and collaboration triumph.   Here's to our shared path of making a meaningful mark and continuing to create a legacy of success. #SIA40Under40 #Leadership #Thankful #Innovation #Collaboration #MakingADifference #DEI #FutureOfWork #SIA40Under40 #InnovativeLeaders #Grateful #ChangeMakers #Empowerment #DiversityInLeadership #TechandPeople #WorkforceOfTheFuture

Christopher Luxons recommended reads: Jim Collins, "Good to Great" - Patrick Lencioni, "Five Dysfunctions of a Team" and Michael D. Watkins - "The First 90 Days." A big thank you to IoD for organising this event. Key takeaways from a governance perspective: 👉Directors must grasp the complexity of the organisations they govern and beable to delve into the complexity and engage with strategic rigor. 👉We need to shift from certifying boards to engaging boards and drop the box-ticking. 👉As Directors, what is the highest order question you can ask that encourages the management team and CEO to think beyond their current frame? 👉We need good onboarding to set our Boards up for sucess --- Our prime minister also talked to the immediate priorities, such as rebuilding our economy, it’s a tough time right now, people are living from pay check to pay check. We need to get inflation down to get interest rates down. Fix fiscal drag and tax relief. Attract foreign capital and inbound investment. Drive STI and R&D and commercialise it. Build a word class education system, deliver better public services and restore law and order. From a productivity standpoint and considering our mission at The Lean Hub to enhance operational efficiency and unlock sustainable success in our kiwi businessess. I found alignment with the discussion on cultivating businesses with strong culture, customer experience, and good commercial returns. It's crucial to recognise that while the government is setting up the operating system, it's up to us to develop robust businesses that yield improved outcomes. I had an energising 121 conversation about lean methodologies, continuous improvement, and the absolute importance of driving process improvement and working smarter, to get us out of the bottom quarter of OECD. We have a great country and exceptional people and potential, capable of generating wealth, prosperity, and growing beyond our current standard of living. Thanks again to the Institute of Directors in New Zealand team for an enlightening session aimed at unlocking New Zealand's potential and great to see some pink shirts under all those blue jackets!!! Shout out also to Ryan Hamilton and Tama Potaka perfect way to end the week!

The DIAL Global team were absolutely thrilled to host our first Mastermind Council Meetings for 2024 over the last two weeks. 🚀   We'd like to thank all those that were able to attend who added such great value to the discussions from which we’ve been able to summarise various key themes:   👉🏻 CHALLENGES: * Balancing global and country / local specific initiatives, priorities and considerations. * Ensuring DEI initiatives are not merely ambitions but are integrated into compensation structures and policies. * Acknowledging the role of leadership buy-in and CEO involvement in DEI success and ensuring alignment between DEI initiatives and shareholder expectations. * Exploring the intersection of DEI with broader issues such as environmental sustainability and social mobility.   👉🏻 OPPORTUNITIES: * Leveraging internal and external communications effectively to scale back on initiatives until infrastructure is built. * Sharing leading practices and innovations to accelerate progress. * Opportunity to align DEI efforts with organisational goals and values through open dialogue and consensus-building among stakeholders. * Being deliberate about where and how DEI initiatives are implemented, ensuring they have maximum impact and visibility within the organisation.   🎉 We believe our Mastermind Council sessions are purposed for: * Sharing successful initiatives and tackling common challenges. * Focusing on fewer topics to delve deeper into areas of importance. * Exploring unconventional solutions for impactful outcomes. * Cultivating new and improved approaches rather than just sharing existing practices. * Developing joint initiatives to formalise leading practices and drive progress.

Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. Great Headline, Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR People talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is ignorant of what's happening around it. It must pull its collective uranium heads out of the sand and prepare to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an ever-increasing pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place, and soon to be out of Fuel" and merely temporary. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft.
