OH NO! LOCKING DOWN AGAIN!

Here we are in the home-stretch of the 2021-22 fiscal year. Many of us are back working from our homes, connecting virtually with job seekers who may have young children learning from home again, or with employers who are seriously restricted or closed. After 22 months of instability, my feelings of weariness are surely a normal response?

While this is not my 'usual' happy new year message, it felt important to acknowledge that we are all likely feeling a wide range of emotions related to the current state of the pandemic. Sigh...

Despite all of this, Q3 has ended and we have launched into Q4.

If you consider that the average duration in service is usually over 3 months, it stands to reason that you now have almost everyone in your 'hopper' that will count towards this year's performance. Ideally, the people you open in January, February and March will be roll-overs into next fiscal, making sure you start next year strong. However, some of you will be tempted by the 'year-end dump' - closing new files quickly this quarter to meet targets, while transferring the deficit into next year.

Having all of your staff understand how their practice 'shows-up' in the reports informs the decisions they make everyday. Exploring the risks as you enter Q4 helps you make strategic decisions towards year-end. Join me as we review the Q3 results - sign up for the Q3 Data review today, and let's figure this out together.

Hey Employment Services Managers! What is your plan for this year?

Do you have new managers? New staff? I know you have a new operating model as some continue to use virtual services to maintain contact.

You can only meet your performance targets if your staff achieve their performance targets and staff can only achieve their targets if they are crystal clear on what those targets are! When it comes to your agency's performance, the math is simple... you are the sum of your parts.

This three-part on-demand training is CRITICAL for new managers, new teams or for agencies that want to stay in front of their ES performance this year. This training is essential for ALL ES managers.

Cost: $399 + HST = $450.87 or contact michelle.lomas@bbmd.ca to register for a group rate of $1197 + HST for up to 5 people registration links, .
