IT professionals, read below if you want to significantly improve your work-life balance 👇🏽   I recently asked my network of technology contractors the following question: "How much has your work-life balance improved since switching from permanent to contracting?".   Here's what they had to say:  💡50% experienced a significant improvement. 💡11% experienced somewhat of an improved. 💡14% experienced no change . 💡25% experienced worse conditions.   Factors for significant improvement included:  ✅ Setting their own hours to help juggle personal and professional lives. ✅ The ability to work on a diverse range of projects. ✅ Faster and more significant professional growth. ✅ The ability to focus on delivering work without getting caught up in office politics.   Factors influencing worse conditions included:  ⚠️ Work from home blurring personal/professional boundaries for some employers. ⚠️ Organisation-specific requirements for strict onsite conditions.   Have you been stuck in your permanent job and thinking about making the switch to government IT contracting? I help IT professionals navigate this transition successfully.   If you want to learn how to transition from permanent work to contracting, then message me directly for a confidential chat. #GovernmentIT #CareerAdvice #TechnologyJobs #ITContracting

June 2024 UK IT Salary & Contractor Rates If your company is thinking of hiring, do it now. As demand rises, so too with the rates of pay and the difficulty levels of attracting and securing the right talent. If, however, your company is slowing down - beware! If your IT staff start to feel insecure, talent competitors and recruiters will find it very easy to persuade your staff to interview elsewhere. Despite the stress and negativity that may exist, take the time to focus on reassuring your team and, where appropriate, reward their loyalty. It's a false economy to avoid salary increases for your best people. Doing so risks leave yourself vulnerable to losing key staff and the larger costs in both time and money of replacing them. Should you be considering recruitment or simply would like some advice on anything recruitment related, please do not hesitate to give us a call and see how we can really help you to Recruit Someone Worth Recruiting.

You're killing the contract market! IR35 has failed! Let's be honest this piece of tax legislation introduced to ensure appropriate tax compliance for people in disguised employment has been a mess from the beginning. What its doing is killing the contract market. Why? Because companies are introducing blanket policies where they deem everyone to be inside IR35 who work with them due to fears of HMRC penalties. This was never the intention of the legislation. However this growing trend means contractors are paying higher taxes and also don't have job security. Why would anyone want to pay more tax and face higher burdens placed on them for not being in permanent employment? I hope the next Labour government reviews this and scraps this law for the good of the economy and to support peoples livelihoods. What do you think?

#NicosWeeklyUpdate The sun is shining and the D365BC market seems to be flying at the moment, we have a number of roles (mostly on the consultancy side) across all areas! D365F&SCM and D365CE seem to be following suit so hopefully it won't be long before we see real traction in these areas too! To note; we do have roles across the D365 stack but Business Central is where we are seeing most traction! #D365 #Dynamics365 #MarketUpdate #VideoUpdate #ConspicuousRec

Lightbulb moment💡 WHAT IF, D365 customers actually hired the right resources at the beginning of their implementation 😮😮 Time and again I speak with D365 customers who have had very messy implementation lifecycles They have gone on for far longer than necessary and has subsequently cost the business far more money than if it was properly planned out at the beginning with the appropriate resources🤔 If done correctly in the first instance, a business will reap the following rewards: ✅Expertise ✅Efficiency ✅Customisation specific to the business needs (where absolutely necessary) ✅Risk Management - THIS IS A HUGE ONE ✅User Adoption ✅Stakeholder Management ✅Scalability (If there’s anything I’ve missed, feel free to share!) In summary, just do the right thing, hire the right team at the early stages and the rest will take care of itself How important is it to adopt the right resources as early as possible on D365FO Projects?
