A clear demand for creating rewards and incentive schemes

Our latest study asked workers what they thought could improve their relationship with their boss. There was a clear majority of people who felt that creating rewards or incentive schemes would help.

We also gave the options; socialising outside of work, discussing/airing problems/issues and regular meetings as alternatives to what we felt may improve an employees relationship with their boss.

The results were as follows:

Socialising outside of work - 5% 
Discussing/airing problems/issues - 10%
Regular meetings - 16%
Creating reward/incentive schemes - 69%

Here at TipTopJob, we thought that through socialising with your boss that it could improve the relationship but the results tell us that not many agreed :)

Amazingly, creating reward/incentive schemes was the most popular! Maybe employees felt that if they were rewarded and incentivised they would have more communication, feedback, guidance, respect and therefore feel closer to their boss which would then build a good relationship with them.

We would love to hear what you think about these results. Tell us here....

Mental health affects 30% due to workplace issues

Mental health has become a much talked about subject across the World right now so we have been investigating this delicate field within the workplace and if people felt that mental health had possibly been triggered by certain working situations. With many people working long hours, feeling stressed and struggling to maintain a healthy work life balance it would seem like there could be a link between the two.

The survey asked if people or their friends/colleagues/people they knew had suffered with mental health issues triggered by work related issues. Reassuringly, 70% said no but there were still 30% saying yes, showing us that some working environments may not be right for many. Although the response clearly shows more people stating no, which is great, there is still a large proportion (the 30%) that are suffering, most probably in silence, because of something related to work which could be avoided or addressed. On top of this, we must also account for those who do suffer with mental health issues but do not realise that it is their workplace or job causing it. An interesting statistic according to MIND, the mental health charity found that one in six people suffer from mental health in the workplace.

So, what can we as workers do to try to manage mental health or reduce the potential of it hitting us altogether? Here are some things to think about....

- Take regular breaks and go for a walk to get fresh air
- Create fun social situations with the people you work with, like lunches, drinks, bowling etc
- Listen to music to help you to unwind, de-stress
- Eat healthily and avoid excess alcohol
- Manage the work life balance by avoiding doing too many hours
- Build a to-do list that you can use to make sure you do not become overwhelmed and over-loaded
- Do not leave any problems or uncertainties to brew and always address them with your bosses or colleagues 

The MIND website, has some great ideas that we would recommend reading if this is something affecting you. Click here to have a look.

 

Modern offices create motivated staff

In our latest study looking at styles of offices and motivation, we can reveal some interesting correlations between modernised work space and motivated staff.

82% of respondents say their offices are modernised and updated which is reassuring however that still leaves 18% of workers who are still operating in the 80's. Of these unfortunate soles, 84% said they would feel more motivated with a new, refurbed, modernised office.

So, the answer to this is to remind/suggest those at the top how important your office is to you and your feelings whilst at work. The more you nag, the more chance you will have of it happening. Yes it costs money, but what better investment than one that in turn creates a motivated and productive workforce. If you get a chance to discuss what motivates you, make sure you are clear to mention how important your surroundings are to you. Just take a look at the pictures below where you can see a before and after and the potential your office has of improving for the better. We know what we would choose!!! 

New Career Article Live - How To Best Use Job Boards

It is time to find a job, but where do you start? Today, there is a wealth of information available on the Internet and it can be mind-blowing. Job boards have become a very popular tool to finding a job but with many different types, functionalities, tools, features, specialisms and locations it can be overwhelming. Job boards seem easy to use but blindly registering on them all and madly uploading your CV across the board is not going to land your dream job! So, how do you best utilise a job board? We are here to help unravel it all!

Difference between aggregators, job boards and recruitment agencies
You will find aggregators, generic job boards, niche job boards, recruitment agencies and direct employer sites. Aggregators compile all jobs (well, almost all depending on who is paying to be listed) from across as many websites as they can. You do not register on the aggregator, you just simply find a job and click through to the site to then make your application. Job boards advertise jobs from recruitment agencies AND direct clients depending on the job board in question. You can register for free, upload CVs, upload cover letters, set up Job Alerts and search through all the jobs and apply online. With recruitment agencies, you can register but they also help you by finding and matching you to relevant jobs and the bonus is you are able to speak directly to them.

Use as a research tool
Job boards are an amazing research tool. Whether you know the direction of your next steps or not, the jobs, career advice available to you on most job boards is phenomenal. You can get a decent understanding of what kinds of jobs are out there, what skills etc are required, what companies are advertising. It is a quick and easy way to gather a lot of important information.

83% want more employer interaction

WOW, our latest survey saw a huge response in the level of employer involvement around building and developing employee relations! A total of just over 83% felt that their employer did nothing and/or could be more proactive in driving better relationships.

Only 17% felt that their employer was already involved enough, which as far as we are concerned, is not a very promising percentage! 

So, how could employers become more involved in helping their employees to have better relationships? Here are a few ideas that you may wish to suggest to your employer if you get a chance :)

- Team building - for example, group lunches, after work drinks, bowling, go-karting or anything that creates an opportunity for employees to socialise outside their normal working day and that suits the types of personalities involved.

- Have more meetings - they help with verbal communication between staff rather than just sending emails all day long.

- Seating - shuffle seating around so people sit with new members of the company and get to interact with those they have not already communicated with.

- Encourage added responsibility and shared tasks so staff are working together in depth and dealing with each other on a day to day basis.

- Suggest an open door for employees to air their concerns so problems and worries are dealt with rather than allowing them to fester.

- Morning, afternoon, end of the week meetings (whenever or whichever!) to allow a transparent working environment and provide a common ground for everyone to get involved in. Individuals can talk about what they are working on, review how they are getting on and plan the next steps. It is a great way to encourage informal chatting but focuses on business as well.

- If there is nothing already set up for birthday boy/girl celebrations, suggest that on their birthdays, either you celebrate by having cake or going for a drink after work or something along those lines to bring everyone together in a relaxed environment. The same at Christmas or New Year when there is a reason to bring everyone together and maybe even suggest a Summer Party!

We hope some of these ideas are useful. If you have any other ideas you would share that you know work well in your organisation, then please do post them below to let others know. It is always good to hear what works for others and try out new ideas.
