We are going to share ideas and articles here gathered from over a thousand managers and leaders completing "Lead to Succeed" with us, with contributions from our own team of experts, former inspectors and business leaders.
The second element of our staffing process is Induction, a really important stage, particularly in adult social care. If you have not seen last weeks post “Interview Essentials”, making the interview part of induction, has many benefits – “Interview Essentials” can be found here. So, you’ve now completed all the interviews, made your hiring decisions…
Thanks for all of your kind feedback on last week’s blog (“Recruitment Essentials”). Whilst I had promised last week to plough on with Induction today, the previous post prompted so much discussion and suggestions, we thought it would be worth sharing in a shorter blog with hints and tips… Prepare your physical space – whether…
Last week’s blog focused on the new Immigration Act which will become law on 1st January 2021 and its potential impact on the adult social care market. As I hinted last week, my intention is always to provide continued support to the sector, rather than stirring up any kind of panic in people! Whilst we…
Thanks once again for all of your lovely comments on last week’s blog on the latest Skills for Care report. At the very end, I touched on a very interesting statistic – that some 250,000 care workers are non-British. Nothing unusual in that, I hear you say. Absolutely not, given that we live in a…

This week’s blog can only be about one topic – Workforce Development Fund…
Thanks again for the feedback on last week’s post about Certificates. This week I want to visit something I have been meaning to blog about for a long time and that is Medals and Missions. The Rat Sandwich (or sh*t sandwich as you may have heard it called) The tried and tested method for sharing…

We are delighted that people have connected with the “learning vs training” post, plus the recent one on Supervision. This weeks blog is a guest appearance from Alex and he has chosen to visit another topic in a very…
Thanks for the feedback over recent weeks to the blog posts. We know that these are challenging times and we are all adapting as we go. This week, I wanted to follow up the recent post around “learning vs training” and its counterpart, but “eLearning doesn’t work, does it?” We know you have all had…
