4 Time to Talk: Creating workspaces to support mental wellbeing As the UK urges more people to talk about their mental health for Time to Talk day, global workplace creation expert, Unispace, has highlighted the need for employers to optimise their workspace to enable an open dialogue with employees in a hybrid world of work. In its recent study, The Reluctant Returner – which combined the results of an in-depth survey of 3,000 office workers, 2,750 employers and interviews with global senior leaders – Unispace uncovered how satisfied respondents are with their lives at the moment, with a result slightly above average (6.5). When asked how remote working had impacted their mental wellbeing, respondents were split, with only one in two indicating it had positively affected them. With 32% of UK office workers indicating that they find it easier to communicate with colleagues from home, that does suggest many are struggling to converse as effectively outside of the physical workspace. The study further revealed that 80% found it easier to have private conversations from home, which was largely driven by the lack of available private space in the office. According to Lawrence Mohiuddine, CEO EMEA at Unispace, as companies reopen their doors once again, employers need to encourage better personal communication both in and out of the office: “With more companies looking to return to the office again following the removal of calls to work from home where possible, businesses face a fine balancing act when it comes to the mental wellbeing of staff in the workplace. Having faced such uncertainty and with almost half feeling their mental health had been positively impacted in a work from home environment, encouraging staff to talk openly needs to be a priority to make a return to the office successful.” “For many businesses, this isn’t easy for a number of reasons. First and foremost, few workplaces are set up in a way that encourages personal conversations between colleagues – whether face to face or virtually between offices. And where staff are working remotely, it can be difficult to replicate natural conversation where the technology doesn’t gel with the flow of office and remote set-ups. As we look to move on from the impact of Covid-19 with a predominantly hybrid approach, colleagues need to feel comfortable to have personal conversations with peers and managers to safeguard the mental wellbeing of our workforces.”
Issue 2 2022 5 News New report outlines 2022 recruitment expectations in a post-Covid world Online talent sourcing specialist, Talent.com, has launched a new report analysing what’s next for the UK labour market following Covid-19 and Brexit. Conducted in association with labour economist Morgan Raux, 2022: Adapting to the New Normal combines official statistics from the Office for National Statistics with data from Talent.com to give an overview of how the job market has been affected by Covid-19 and Brexit, how labour market tightness has increased in the last two years and how it’s projected to keep evolving in 2022. Candidates in control The analysis of the UK’s labour market ‘tightness’ - which is calculated by the comparison of the jobs posted and the number of professionals available for work – highlights how the recruitment market has flipped to a candidate-led environment, with April 2021 marked as the time that vacancy growth surpassed the fall in unemployment, tipping the scales in favour of applicants. Sectors to watch out for In the report, Talent.com reveals the top sectors to look out for this year, highlighting that while labour market tightness increased in highskilled jobs between 2020 - 2021, it was mid to low-skilled sectors that experienced the biggest increases. The food preparation and serving related sector saw the greatest increase in labour market tightness since the pandemic started – up 120%, a trend that is only going to continue in 2022. Transportation and material moving occupations also saw an 80% increase in labour market tightness, while healthcare reported a 50% increase in 2021, a figure which is only set to worsen should the NHS vaccine mandate go ahead. A people first approach According to Talent.com, the changes to the UK labour market since the pandemic have made a people-first approach to recruitment a priority for 2022, highlighting that the enhancement of diversity strategies, a simplified hiring process and a focus on internal talent mobility and staff retention will be the foundations for success. Noura Dadzie - VP Sales UK & International Markets at Talent.com comments: “While the UK has experienced a tight labour market in the past, our latest data highlights just how much pressure the employment landscape has been put under since the pandemic. With rising vacancy levels and decreasing unemployment figures, talent pools have been squeezed significantly. What we’re seeing now is more pressure on hiring and recruitment teams which is only going to exacerbate the need to channel recruitment expenditure into the right channels that will get your vacancy seen by the right people.” “Across the sectors, hiring in transportation, logistics and warehousing is booming all over the UK. These industries show no signs of slowing down for too long. In the second half of 2022 we are very likely to see a rise year over year on both job adverts and hires, particularly for delivery drivers and warehouse workers.”

Issue 2 2022 9 Nov21460 Best Environmental Management Solutions Tech Business 2021 ERA Environmental Management Solutions develops cloud based EH&S management software that services manufacturers in any industry needing to comply with governmental regulations and calculate their sustainability or Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) metrics. We find out more from the firm’s Co-CEOs. ERA began as a consulting firm in North Carolina, founded in 1994 by Gary Vegh. Sarah Sajedi joined him soon after as Co-CEO and CTO. Together they envisioned a more accurate and streamlined way for manufacturers to report their environmental footprint, and they transformed their consulting firm into a leading environmental software and technology enterprise to align with this vision. Said vision secured ERA’s position as one of North America’s first and most respected Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) software providers. Grounded in environmental expertise, the software has evolved from a desktop application for the wood furniture industry to a well-oiled machine offering unmatched emission tracking and forecasting capabilities, consulting services on subscription, and every state and federal regulatory report for companies in all industries. “Our software is an all-in-one Software as a Service (SaaS) that offers complete coverage of every EH&S need,” Vegh explains. “It is based on years of environmental expertise and backed up by a team of environmental scientists.” The co-founders have developed the market’s most advanced air emissions accounting software, with the largest built-in chemical regulatory library. This platform is designed for manufacturers to understand and calculate exactly which air emissions their processes release; with this information, they can then choose materials with a smaller pollutant output and ultimately reduce their footprint and improve local air quality. Sajedi and Vegh have dedicated themselves to the task of breaking down the regulations and voluntary standards that many businesses use to guide their EH&S reporting. Their ongoing research has resulted in improvements to these standards that have directly influenced how businesses account for and improve their environmental air quality performance. “ERA is available to organizations of all sizes through our fair pricing strategy and modular software,” Sajedi elaborates. “We want to be able to serve everyone, not a select few. Clients purchase only the functionality they need, since our pricing is based on the scale and scope of the work. With this business model, we have managed to service clients throughout the globe and in nearly every industry—from SMEs to Fortune 100 and 500 companies, adding up to thousands of end users.” The environmental software industry is one of the fastest growing in the advanced technology sector, a trend that is expected to continue. As the global market expands, manufacturers face an increasing need to account for their carbon footprints, yet the work required to build EH&S software in-house is often too large for most businesses to handle. “One of ERA’s key strengths is the depth and breadth of expertise we bring,” Vegh elaborates. “When an organization joins ERA, they are guided through the implementation process by our team of scientists who all have advanced degrees or decades of experience in their fields. They are chemists, regulatory specialists, software developers, and much more.” While many products offer ‘build your own’ reporting capabilities, ERA’s leads the field by ensuring that all federal and state reporting requirements their clients could need are built into the solution and that output extracts are available to seamlessly migrate calculated values into the tools preferred by state and local agencies. Providing these features requires that ERA stay abreast of any changes on the regulatory horizon, so that it may integrate them into the solution as soon as they are promulgated. ERA has worked closely with manufacturers and sustainability professionals for over two decades to connect the diverse systems that play a role in a facility’s sustainability tracking goals. Their innovative approach strives to redefine the role of the sustainability professional by shifting focus from data collection and analysis to systematic improvements grounded on evidence-based decision making and realtime Key Performance Indicators. Recently, Corporate Vision named ERA the Best Environmental Management Solutions Tech Business of 2021, a testament to the dedication and hard work of Sarah Sajedi, Gary Vegh, and the ERA team. We look forward to seeing where ERA goes next. Contact: Gary Vegh & Sarah Sajedi Company: ERA Environmental Consulting Web Address: www.era-environmental.com

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, an external factor, Lotanna tells us that the firm experienced both disadvantages but also opportunities which arose. “For us in Kennedia Consulting, we saw its impact in both positive and negative perspectives. On one side, we have experienced disruption in business operations, suspended or delayed business execution as a result of the pandemic. The pandemic has also compelled us to explore the possibility of remote work pattern/arrangement, where workers often feel more valued and achieve higher levels of performance.” Recently recognised by Corporate Vision as the Best BPO & Consultancy Firm in Nigeria, Kennedia is now firmly positioned for future growth and further success. Lotanna concludes, “We believe that your new year starts when you renew your commitment to focus and goal accomplishment. Our plan for 2022 is to have a more motivated workforce, improved client satisfaction and business growth. We encourage everyone to remain very hopeful, prayerful, focus and committed to excellence in all endeavours.” Contact: Lotanna Uzoka Company: Kennedia Consulting Limited Web Address: https://kennediaconsulting.net/
Best Construction & Property Development Group - Malta V&C Contractors, a construction company operating across the island of Malta with a dedication to being the best of the best, is one committed to the idea of working both smart and hard. In a competitive industry that is constantly learning new tricks, it has made itself one of the companies learning and teaching said tricks, having worked with clients such as Transport Malta, Gov.MT, Smart City Malta, and more, implementing new technologies and updating its fleet on a consistent basis in order to keep itself fiercely competitive. With construction and property development as a field being thrust onto the world’s stage now more than ever, the scrutiny has been shedding light on those companies who have been working with the best practices to attain the best results. V&C Contractors is one such company. Fundamentally, having found its feet in April of 1992, V&C Contractors began by making itself a stand-out name in the construction industry of Malta, quickly becoming one of the linchpin firms on the island proper and growing quickly by way of the multitude of good reviews that its clients leave it, as well as the word-of-mouth referrals that said clients go on to give to peers and colleagues. Owned and run by two hardworking, energetic, and diligent people in brothers Vincent and Charles Borg, the two have worked relentlessly hard in order to ensure that V&C Contractors becomes a cornerstone of Maltese construction through the carrying out of exemplary work and the implementation of market leading customer service. Additionally, in the early days, work was mainly garnered through subcontracting. This gave it the launchpad it needed to reach greater heights of success, working under larger and more established businesses in order to build up great relationships with each of them and establish itself as a trustworthy business partner and up-andcoming player in the sector. Consequentially, it is now capable of securing that work for itself; however, it works hard to maintain the exemplary connections it made during this time in order to keep itself in good stead amongst the peer ship of Maltese construction firms currently operating on the island. Its humble beginnings, and its ability to work its way up from these, have resulted in a growth pattern that is both exponential and sustainable. It has been able to expand in a controlled and controllable manner so that it can make sure its staff and other resources can handle the amount of demand being placed on it at any given time, resulting in a company that ensures every customer walks away satisfied, and one that funnels significant effort into human resources. This, being one of its greatest resources, is one department that V&C Contractors will always prioritise the funding of. Critically, due to the consistent growth and development of the company, its HR department has been a pivotal player in making sure that this growth remains productive and that it doesn’t allow details such as staff safety, fulfilment, and training to fall to the wayside. It is the consistent review of where and when such investments are needed that have allowed it to also keep up such a competitive fleet. Recently, it has upgraded its fleet and equipment once again, ensuring that its staff are working with the best tools that will make their lives easier and safer across the board, each decision made by the management team contributing to making this a reality. Today, the company boasts a competitive management team, which manages a hard-working force and an extensive roster of machinery that is kept up to the highest standards of quality and maintenance on a daily basis, offering strict due diligence and ensuring the highest standards of training are maintained amongst the operators of said machinery. In addition to all of this, whilst V&C Contractors is first and foremost a construction expert, it is also so much more. Its has dedicated a significant amount of effort into broadening its views of what a construction company could be, always looking for new ways to diversify its portfolio and resist stagnation by always searching for new avenues through which to learn. Thus, it has invested in the expansion into real estate as a business venture through its sub-company, V&C Developments; it also is looking forward to diving more into the tourism sector through V&C Contractors proper, hoping to find new ways to push the construction sector onward to greater things and bolster the Maltese economy as a result. Its services are also always growing in quality. Each of these – including road building and trenching, excavation, landscaping projects, restoration, and more – have each been lauded as ‘well executed and completed to client satisfaction’ by the customers who have contracted it in the past, and this is part of its commitment to its clients. Although its services and solutions already started off as exemplary, it is forever striving to make these more and more competitive, taking on board feedback, comments, queries and concerns so that it can make the necessary changes. After all, it is incredibly important to V&C Contractors that it maintains its slogan of ‘we always keep our promises’. With its quality construction, cost effective execution, and timely project deadline diligence, each professional within its ranks helps it to build up the type of long-lasting relationships with its clients that will have said client coming back time and time again for any and all construction needs. Fundamentally, it takes great amounts of pride in the work it does, considering it just as much of a privilege to work with the clients its serves as they might consider it a privilege to work with it, something that – once again – is often included in reviews and testimonials. Company: V&C Contractors Contact: Christabelle Camilleri Website: vccontractors.com Nov21070 With construction and property development as a field being thrust onto the world’s stage now more than ever, the scrutiny has been shedding light on those companies who have been working with the best practices to attain the best results.

Nov21106 Best Customer Experience Strategy Consultancy - Sydney Established in 2018, Behavjor is represented by two leading minds within their field, Rob Prescott, CX Strategy & Design Consultant and Jodie Moule, Principal Researcher & Service Designer. Recognised as Sydney’s Best Customer Experience Strategy Consultancy, Behavjor comprises of experienced practitioners consulting and guiding organisations on Design Thinking, Design Research and Strategic Design. From strategy through to execution and capability building, Behavjor was founded with the aim to support better business outcomes by providing remarkable customer experience leadership. For Behavjor, mindfulness is in all that it does; it is its essence and founding principle. “We have chosen to prioritise honesty, humility and humbleness - at all times - as a pathway towards attracting like-minded people, building incredible teams, and a brand worth believing in,” Jodie Moule, Principal Researcher & Service Designer. Ultimately, Behavjor was created to remind larger organisations about the customers in which they serve. Jodie states, “too often large organisations forget that its process is not the customer’s journey - their imperatives are not the customers. In large organisations, people get in the way, personalities get in the way, what an individual wants gets in the way - and too often, these desires override what will best serve the people that ultimately matter to our bottom line the most. The customer.” Thus, Behavjor was created so that organisations could partner with them to develop a better, clearer, unclouded point of view on problems that many businesses find overwhelming and challenging. “Because we sit outside of normal business rules, norms or constraints [perceived or actual], we don’t suffer collective cultural thinking that can quickly bias, confine and define organisational teams today,” states Jodie. Behavjor offers an alternative, external perspective that is heavily valued for being practical, honest and, most of the time, the exact thing that businesses need in order to re-think problems with a modernised approach. Moreover, at Behavjor, the company firmly believes in a collaborative advantage over a competitive advantage, as Jodie explains. “We see ourselves as a community of creative misfits - constantly evolving our habits, traditions, approaches, and ways of working to embody our beliefs better. We strive to ensure all our strategic moves are guided by the constraints we set as a group, found within our values. Without them, ‘behavjor’ists’ don’t embody ‘behavjor.’” However, like many businesses globally, Behavjor was affected significantly due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, it has allowed the company to become closer – operating as a close-knitted team holding itself to the highest standards to get the job done and maintain this standard throughout all work done within the company, personally and professionally. Ultimately, it has allowed Behavjor to provide consistent quality throughout the years, despite fluctuating industries and uncertain markets. Coming into the new year, Behavjor has announced a plan for the company’s future, as Jodie explains in her closing comments. “The simple strategy is, and has always been, to do more of the same - but better. Know what we are good at, do what we are good at and always strive to be a better version of that.” Company Name: Behavjor Contact Name: Jodie Moule Web Address: www.behavjor.com.au Contact Email: [email protected]
