We recently posted a blog on office bullying in which we shared some advice on how to handle tricky colleagues. The post was well received – this seems to be an issue that affects many people.

We want to help readers find out more about where they stand so we’ve put some questions to our legal advisor – employment lawyer Philip Landau. Here’s what Philip has to say…

What signs should someone look out for?

In the current economic climate, it is perhaps unsurprising that managers are driving work forces harder, and being more critical about results, leading to employees feeling under increasing pressure. This cuts across all sectors but perhaps more typically occurs in highly pressurised sales roles.

Being driven to work harder does not necessarily amount to bullying. But in an age where bullying is on the rise and surveys have shown one in 10 employees will experience bullying and harassment at some point in their careers, you need to look out for the signs and some may not be obvious.

All such action typically falls within the bullying pattern. Continue reading “Where do you stand if you think you’re being bullied?” »

In the short time since our Fresh Thinking 2 event – in which Tomi Ahonen and Tony Fish presented on Mobile and the Future of Digital Engagement – we’ve been hearing from attendees about their key takeaways and how they are implementing them in their businesses.

As part of our event review we are bringing you some of the best ideas…

The Bloggers View

We always enjoy reading the blogs that the Fresh Thinkers inspire, and there were three really strong ones that we’d like to share with you:

Mobiles, Metronerds and Digital Footprints with Jobsite’s Fresh Thinkers – social recruiting consultancy Sirona liked the way that Tomi and Tony made them think about the recruitment sector from different angles, and also enjoyed many of the soundbites!

Data drives effective mobile marketing strategies – digital marketing agency Pauley Creative specialise in the construction sector and they were looking at ways that their clients could leverage mobile to grow and nurture customer relationships

Elan Computing – then there was this review from the IT recruitment company Elan Computing…they are fast adopting social and digital tools and talk about the takeaways that will help accelerate performance. Continue reading “How Fresh Thinkers are Changing the Way You Think About Mobile” »

At Jobsite we’re passionate about blogging and always enjoy reading the many varied and enlightening views and insights that bloggers within the recruitment sector share.

For the last four years we’ve followed UK Recruiter’s Blog of the Year Award with interest as it never fails to showcase some really intelligent and thought provoking writing. This year we decided to get involved!

For the 2011 award we will be providing the prizes – as well as creating a trophy, we’ll also be giving the winner a Flipcam – and will assist the judging panel. And we’re looking for our readers to help with the nominations.

The competition is open to any recruitment blogger – inhouse or agency – that can satisfy these three criteria: Continue reading “Help us find the Best Recruitment Blog of 2011” »
