READ ON: There are some things you can be itching to tell your boss but you just don’t know how to go about it. It could be to do with money, co-workers or even your physical presence at work. Whatever it is, if it’s eating away at you, it’s worth trying to resolve. We asked some members of the business community who work across a range of industries (Advertising, Arts & Media, IT Communications, Childcare, Fitness, and Trades & Services) what they wished they could say to their bosses. Then we asked career coach Nicole Grainger-Marsh to provide practical advice for how to broach some of these difficult conversations. “Just let me do my job remotely. I don’t need to physically be here.” If you want to speak to your boss about this, you need to focus on the benefits for your boss and your organisation, not why it suits you, “Think about how working remotely will deliver improved outcomes – maybe you will be more productive without the interruptions of a busy office.” If your boss is reluctant, suggest a trial period. “During this time, keep track of benefits, productivity and any other improvements to sell to your boss at check-in time.” “The staff you hired are incompetent.” Approach this conversation with caution, as questioning your boss’s decision can make them feel undermined, Instead of criticising, ask your boss how you can help. “Suggest ways that you could support the new hire in improving skills, learning processes or developing in certain areas. This way your boss is aware of what’s going on, feels that you can be relied on to help, and is in a position to take action with the new hire if your shared plan doesn’t pay off.” “Lead by example. Don’t just quote the company values.” There are ways you can encourage your boss to define and align with organisational values without compromising your career. Grainger-Marsh recommends suggesting that your team creates its own mission statement. “This is a great way to create a sense of shared meaning, values and goals amongst the team, providing more fulfilling working relationships, increased motivation and a sense of fun.” “Tell us what’s happening in the business. Don’t set a dialogue meeting and not turn up!” Your boss may be so busy they might not even realise the negative impact their absence is having on you, so don’t go finger-pointing. It’s better to have an upfront and honest conversation with them instead. “Explain to them the value that you get from your meeting time together, for example getting their input means you can keep momentum going on projects, and that having an understanding of the wider organisation helps you operate more effectively.” “I love my job, but I feel overworked and undervalued and I’m looking elsewhere.” Hard-working employees can sometimes find themselves with very hands-off managers, as they have complete confidence in their ability to do their job. Unfortunately, this can lead to the employees burning out. If this sounds like you, tell your boss why you feel this way and the changes that need to be made to turn this around. “Agree to some tangible actions that you can both put in place and check in regularly to discuss progress. If your boss isn’t open to this approach, it’s time to look elsewhere.” “Pay me more money.” If you want more money, you need to be able to explain why you deserve it, and back it up with examples. “Maybe it’s that your duties have expanded, or you’ve started to manage people. Whatever the reason, go into the discussion with it clearly documented, along with your pay expectations.” If they can’t give you a pay rise immediately, discuss a timeline for when and how it could happen. “You could even discuss other ways the organisation could recognise you, such as flexible working hours or a new title.” “I wish you’d value people over money when times get tough.” “When organisations go through difficult times it’s not uncommon for leaders to retreat; sharing little information and seemingly focusing on the bottom line. To deal with this, focus on what you can do for yourself and those around you to feel more valued. “Recognise your own input and the input of others, provide support to teammates, and let your boss know when a job has been done well.” Would you like to know more:   Business is Simple but no-one said it was going to be easy! by Warren Myers CMP Recruiter and Credit Services Advisor Being in business as an Owner or Manager you know the “Simple but not Easy” theme so well because at times it is easy but to make it easy you need to get through the tough parts.

NATIONAL INNOVATION AND SCIENCE AGENDA - IMPROVING CORPORATE INSOLVENCY LAW 28 March 2017 | Exposure Draft As part of the National Innovation and Science Agenda (NISA), the Minister for Revenue and Financial Services, the Hon Kelly O’Dwyer, has released draft legislation which reforms Australia’s insolvency laws and an accompanying draft explanatory statement for public consultation. The draft legislation will amend the Corporations Act 2001 to promote a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation and help reduce the stigma associated with business failure. This will help drive business growth, local jobs and global success. The amendments will create a ‘safe harbour’ for company directors from personal liability for insolvent trading if the company is undertaking a restructure in certain circumstances. This will drive cultural change amongst company directors by encouraging them to engage early with financial hardship, keep control of their company and take reasonable risks to facilitate the company’s recovery instead of placing the company prematurely into voluntary administration or liquidation. The amendments will also make ‘ipso facto’ clauses unenforceable if a company has entered into a formal insolvency process. Currently, ‘ipso facto’ clauses allow contracts to be terminated solely due to an insolvency event. The aim of this reform is to prevent these types of clauses from reducing the scope for a successful restructure or preventing the sale of the business as a going concern. The Government has also released a further explanatory document setting out the types of contracts and contractual rights which are expected to be excluded from the broad stay on the operation of ipso facto clauses. These excluded contract types and rights will be formalised through forthcoming regulations, with the stay on ipso facto clauses becoming effective on 1 January 2018. The Minister welcomes feedback on the appropriateness of the proposed exclusions and whether further exclusions may be warranted. The Attorney-General is the responsible Minister for the proposed reduction of the default period of bankruptcy from 3 years to 1 year, which was announced along with these reforms, and will be legislated separately. MORE INFO:   5 Reference Check Questions - You Want to Ask But Shouldn’t!! Warren Myers CMP Recruiter likes this post by Christy Hopkins HR Consultant While we don’t like telling people what not to do, we are going to do it here. Remember to NOT ask these questions because they can land you in hot water legally. 1. Why did you let (insert name) go? This is the number one no-no reference check question. No matter how much you are dying to know, never ask this. First, it’s possibly illegal depending on which state you operate in, and could land you in hot water. Second, you should have asked the candidate about this during the interviews and learned the answer straight from the horse’s mouth. 2. What incident/problem/issue was most prevalent during (insert name)’s time working at your company? Stick to performance – repeat that in your head. Stick to performance, and do not open a door for a company or yourself to get in any legal trouble while conducting a reference check. We highly recommend using performance-based questions above asking about negative things. 3. Have they ever lied to you? This should be something you can think to yourself but not something you should ever ask out loud. If you really think a candidate might be lying, give them a test project (paid, of course) or an assessment to complete that is relevant to their skill set (like a Microsoft Excel test problem) versus asking their old employer. 4. Does (insert name) have any home or family commitments that prevented them from doing their job? This is a question that could lead into discrimination territory (e.g. gender or age). If you are worried about a candidate’s priorities, you should ask them directly in such a way that is relevant to the job, like, “Bob, we need someone who can travel 50% of the time. Are you able to manage that?” 5. Can I see (insert name)’s HR file? Never ask for files on a potential employee or access to their past performance reviews or records. There are laws around privacy here, and it’s unprofessional. There are some important professional guidelines to follow while doing a reference check. While these are not laws, they are more of a code of conduct and following them will get you better results and keep your employer brand (both personal and professional) up to snuff. Always ask the candidate for permission to check references (and for the people they want you to talk to) You should always ask your candidate for permission to check references and for the contact information of the people they would want you to speak to. You can ask them for manager references, co-worker references, or for at least one from their current role. But just ask them first. What if you get them fired because you call their current employer without asking? Now, that would be bad! So ask! Never ask for inappropriate information. You probably know not to ask about a candidate’s religious affiliation, their marital status, or other things that could be considered discriminatory. Beware if the conversation with a reference begins to get casual and they start to overshare. Keep the conversation simple, and stick to your set questions. Reference should add colour to a situation…but not paint the picture Some employers do reference checks no matter what, even on the candidate that is 100% awesome, checks all the boxes, and everyone likes. And then a reference check goes mediocrely, and they reconsider the offer. In most cases, this doesn’t make sense! A reference check should add colour to a picture that has been nearly completely painted. Go with your gut on your candidate, and don’t make employment decisions solely based on references. In fact, this leads us to our next tip. Ask the candidate if a reference check went poorly. If a reference call does not go as well as expected, ask the candidate about it. For example, you could call them and say, “Hey, Samantha. I just spoke to Ken at XYZ and I wanted to ask you about a few things he said that surprised me. Are you available to speak now?” Give the candidate, especially if they are your top choice for an open position, a chance to tell you about the situation the referee disclosed. There are two sides to every story. If you still feel like you want more information on a candidate, you can also run a background check. Calling vs emailing a reference check The phone is generally best if you want to have a conversation with a referee. Email may be OK if you just want a green light, red light response. If you do email the reference, remember to write a good subject line such as “Quick reference check for Samantha Jones” and then introduce yourself. If you are friendly and honest, you are more likely to get a response. You should also add that the reference can always call you (provide a number and some good times to call) if that is more comfortable for them. Reference checks are an important part of the hiring process, especially if you have a candidate who is say, 70-80% there, and you want to make sure you can train them. However, reference check questions aren’t the be all and end all, and they do require a professional code of conduct, both unwritten and by state laws, that you should follow.
