into solutions; that is the essence of creativity. His thoughts on execution? Eliminate unproductive activity — emails, meetings, travel — and focus on making things happen rather than on getting things done and measuring results. As Winston Churchill said, “Success is the ability to move from one failure to another without the loss of enthusiasm”. We have attached the link to the website if you are interested to delve deeper.

Reviewing your HR needs If your business can’t afford a dedicated Human Resources (HR) department, perhaps it’s time to find one elsewhere. As Adam Turner MYOB says “Of all the growing pains experienced by businesses, dealing with HR issues can be some of the most frustrating ones. Finding, managing and retaining good staff involves dealing with a myriad of contracts, policies and government regulations, not to mention the finer points of payroll tax, superannuation and other financial issues. Don’t make the mistake of thinking these problems only affect big businesses. Even the smallest businesses need to be familiar with the National Employment Standards and how these entitlements relate to flexible work conditions” .
Chances are, staff-related issues aren’t your area of expertise. And unfortunately these issues can become overwhelming long before your business is large enough to justify maintaining an in-house HR team. In any case, you should be focussing on your areas of expertise — design, project delivery and building and sustaining client relationships. If HR challenges are impacting adversely on your business then look for outside assistance.
