Shhh 🤫… did you know that one of Puerto Rico’s best kept secrets as a top employer is Plaza Provision Company. We do not self promote. So, I want to let you into our secret. Our CEO is one of the humblest and well-intentioned leaders you’ll ever meet. Our employee tenure average is at 26 years of service with many surpassing that. Our turnover is less than 3%. And yes, we promote from within for vertical and horizontal mobility and development. So, why do our employees stick around so long. For one, balance and quality of work and life. As California proposes a new bill, giving “Workers the Right-to-Disconnect from Non-Emergency Business Calls and Texts After Hours”, Plaza Provision already respects its employees’s free time. We know there is much more to life than just work and we want our employees to enjoy it. Our company culture is respectful and relax. And it doesn’t hurt that you can snack on the products we distribute during the day like Snickers, Oreo cookies and for the healthier pallet, Kind Bars with some ☕️. If you’re interested in knowing more about our company or career opportunities as we continue growing, check out our web page: https://lnkd.in/eF3f9924 😉.

Pumped to be flying out to London next week in preparation for the Hampton North holiday party the subsequent week. The team here have worked super hard this year, in what's been one of the most challenging recruitment markets in recent times, and so I'm excited that we get the chance to celebrate the success we've had together. We'll spend some time reviewing 2024, gearing up for 2025 including our revamped career journey here at HN, we'll get to spend some time (virtually) with our new hires (6 and 7 confirmed to join - watch this space!) and then we'll hit Winter Wonderland on Thursday evening, Borough Market on Friday and then an overly stuffy, posh dinner Friday evening, that will also include our advisory team in attendance. I'll have some time to meet with people in London on Tues December 3rd and Weds December 4th if anyone wants to hear more about a career here at HN, or if you're looking to hire for your security team, as we start diving into global expansion plans. Excited to see Ruby M., James Lees, Ross Gisondi, Hoda Hilal, Edmund Blogg and Sean Catlett. Side note questions; - Can anyone recommend a good place for Thanksgiving dinner in London? - Where is the best place to watch NFL RedZone in London? Also, Ruby wants to know; - If you could visit one London Christmas market, which one would it be? #HamptonNorth #SecurityHiring

As we head into the end of the week, I always think of the many cleaners that are either finishing the week or have cleans to be performed. And like Rosie in the video, the question I ask is - are the cleaners getting treated as they should be? Yes, the impression in the video is of a gig worker, and the first impression that comes to mind is an Uber driver, or maybe a DoorDash delivery person, but what if I told you that the Fair Work Commission changes, due August 26, 2024, class cleaners as gig workers in Australia. Why? Because most cleaners are underpaid, mistreated, and incorrectly classed as contractors (over 80% percent of the cleaning industry operates like this - Sham Contracting) when they actually employees. So I ask you, if your cleaners, like Rosie are trying to earn a living, but getting to some payment that equates to $7 per hour, do you think this is fair? There is a solution - for everyone to accept that all workers deserve to be paid correctly, even if this means that the cleaning costs will go up. And just like Rosie, when she sees an opportunity to get a well paid job, where she is treated well, we get cleaners approach us. Cleaners hear from their relatives, their friends, and our current cleaners about how we treat our team, and contact us, asking how do they get a job with us. And to you, what is the outcome? A cleaner that is so appreciative to have the job, so happy to at last be paid correctly, so happy to have the training and support, they do their ultimate best to deliver to you, our clients and us, the best standard they can. So as we all end a week, I ask for some thought to be given to the Gig workers - the ones that work the hours most of us don't like to even think about working, and ask are they being treated fairly?

Starbucks recently welcomed its new CEO, Brian Niccol. And while I appreciate coffee - and coffee chains - can be a polarizing topic, there was something in his message that caught my eye. Here are the four areas that he and his team will focus on initially: 1. Empowering our baristas to take care of our customers. 2. Get the morning right, every morning. 3. Reestablishing Starbucks as the community coffeehouse. 4. Telling our story. While it's a back-to-basics approach, #4 stood out to me. Storytelling is an incredibly powerful tool and everyone has a story to tell. It creates emotional connections, making brands relatable and memorable. Through stories, brands can communicate their values, mission, and personality in a way that resonates with audiences on a deeper level. Stories evoke emotions, foster trust, and engage customers by showing rather than telling what the brand stands for. This helps differentiate the brand in a crowded market, builds loyalty, and turns customers into advocates. Storytelling also simplifies complex ideas, making it easier for people to understand and connect with a brand's message. Storytelling is peopley... and #PeopleLovePeople.
