| 2010, the year of The Ultimate Job™
|
|
Does your Capital city have The Ultimate Job™? Does your company have The Ultimate Job™ ?
Are you an Ultimate Job applicant?
The Ultimate Job™ is a competition to find the best job, as voted by the public, in each major Australian city.
How It Works
Businesses in each capital city who feel they have the best permanent job will be able to submit their application to be short listed for The Ultimate Job™. Applicants will be invited, and encouraged, to apply for the short-listed jobs.
The Ultimate Job™ campaign will be 3 months in duration and commences in Melbourne on July 7, ending on October 5. Sydney is the next city to launch in August, with Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide to be launched in September.
A Celebrity Panel
A Celebrity Panel in each city will review all company applications to shortlist the Top 10 positions to be in the running for The Ultimate Job™.
The short-listed companies and their Ultimate Job entries will be promoted through diverse media channels, including print, radio and social media.
The public will be encouraged to vote, either online or via text message, for their favourite job from the Top 10 short listed positions. The company with the most votes at the end of the competition from the public, and judges, will win The Ultimate Job™ title.
Gala Night
The Ultimate Job™ will be announced at a Gala Night, in front of the participating companies and media of the city. All short listed jobs will be introduced by the celebrity judges, from the tenth choice to the first choice. All winning applicants for each job will also be showcased during the gala.
Proceeds for Charity
Throughout the campaign, all funds raised (voting donations, a percentage of the placement fee, and gala night) will go to Mission Australia, a not for profit organisation dedicated to assisting the homeless and long-term unemployed.
Corporate Publicity
The Ultimate Job™ Australian campaign is a wonderful and unique opportunity for all companies to raise their profile, and promote their “Employer of Choice” image. Company logos and a short profile of their Ultimate Job™ will be supplied to the public and linked back to their corporate web site.
For the lucky short listed companies, the exposure will be magnified by broadcasting a five minute video about each Ultimate Job.
Whether The Ultimate Job™ Australia is about career growth, money, life style, sports, giving back to the community, or whatever, be a part of the adventure!

| Excel in conflict resolution
|
|
 Although most of us want smooth interpersonal interactions, disagreements and conflicts are part of any dynamic organization.
Not all conflict is negative. In some cases it should even be encouraged when discussion and debate can generate creative, innovative approaches to issues or decisions. Conflict is beneficial when the focus is on finding the best solution. However, conflict is unproductive when it fails to produce mutually satisfying solutions, or when it becomes personal. Resolving conflict doesn’t come easily to many people. |
Employee Engagement: Have you neglected your talent during the downturn?
|
|
 As we approach an upturn in the employment market, employee engagement and retention need to become a key focus for organisations.
The response of organisations to the recent market downturn has had a significant detrimental impact over the longer term engagement of their workforce.
Company's reactions to the GFC such as downsizing, redundancies and recruitment freezes have actively de-motivated employees.
Even more impactful however, has been the reduction in the investment towards internal employee inducement functions |

| Survey - How passionate are your employees about their organisation?
|
|
Does your organisation have an image (an employer brand) that employees are proud of and makes other people want to work for your organisation?
Drake research has revealed that, following the GFC, a large proportion of staff are unlikely to recommend their organisation to friends as a place to work. It has also found that organisations are starting to find it difficult to retain and attract good quality staff.
Based on these findings, are you concerned about how your organisation is perceived by staff and potential employees? | |
