This week on The Internal Comms Podcast, host Katie Macaulay is joined by Sim Sian, Head of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Mitie, and Yvonne O'Hara, formerly Mitie's Group Head of Internal Communication and Engagement. Equality, diversity and inclusion, or ED&I, is fast climbing the corporate agenda. Creating an equitable environment that celebrates diversity and includes everyone is no longer a nice to have – it's a business and social imperative with tangible impact on workplace success. Internal communicators are in a unique position when it comes to ED&I and we can play a vital role in pushing it forward and embedding it within teams, leadership and the wider business. For Sim and Yvonne, their ability to work in a symbiotic way comes with a mutual understanding of the importance of ED&I and comms as individual disciplines and complementary functions. The result? A dynamite employee value proposition (EVP) project that celebrates and includes all of the diverse experiences, backgrounds and orientations at a 70,000-colleague business. As always, share your thoughts of this or any other episode of The Internal Comms Podcast using the hashtag #TheICPodcast. And thanks for listening.

Embrace Change to Foster Growth with Leanne Culloden Change is scary. When we were young, trying out new things was exciting. But as we grow older, we develop a fear of placing ourselves in unfamiliar situations. Getting out of our comfort zone is daunting. But do you know what is much scarier? It's when your fear stops your growth and progress. Fear kills our potential and hinders us from striving in our career, life, and relationships — but this should not be the case. Instead, we should embrace change. In this episode, Leanne Culloden shares the three proudest moments that led her onto her current path today. She talks about deciding to embrace change, be independent at a young age and how it shaped her view of the world. She also lays down the most significant milestones in her career and how they honed her leadership skills. Finally, Leanne discusses how she balances handling a massive job and being a mum and wife. If you want to know how you can embrace change and enable progress in your work and personal life, then this episode is for you!  Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover why you should embrace change and overcome fear to grow. Find out the most efficient way to choose team members. Learn how you can build trust between your team and your clients. Resources  Coaching with Angela Cox Listen to The Mindset Mentor Meets Contact Leanne: LinkedIn Episode Highlights  [03:10] First Taste of Independence Leanne considers her first real taste of independence at 19 as her first proudest moment. She and her friend booked a two-week holiday to Majorca and decided to live and work there shortly after. Everyone should embrace change and experience taking themselves out of the environments they grew up in. Leanne already knew that she didn't want to go to university and would instead get a job and work. Her pride comes from making the massive decision to put herself into a different situation at a young age. [05:52] What She Learned from Being Independent at a Young Age She met a lot of amazing people from different parts of the world. She was able to learn a lot about human behaviour. Learning how to manage money without her parents was a big thing. Independence is learning how to live as an adult. Taking that courageous step to embrace change led her onto the path she's presently walking. [07:20] How It Shaped Her Relationships She met many people from all over the world with different personalities and characters. While growing up, society conditioned us to show up in a certain way. Leanne learned about people's differences and diversity during that time. The experience helped her understand and collaborate with other people on a work and personal level. [08:56] Why Adults Don't Embrace Change We were bolder in trying out new things when we were younger. But fear develops as we grow older. Allowing fear to take over stops you from progressing in many areas of life, especially at work. Leanne is a big believer in always trying to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Recognise what your fears are, and try to show yourself out there. That's what growth is. [10:27] The Progression of Her Career at Mitie Her second proudest moment is her career at Mitie. She has been working at Mitie for 12 years, starting as a temp and working her way up to a management role. She took the opportunity to lead a project around mobilising a contract in the nuclear industry.  Leanne took the role for two reasons: (1) she's a people pleaser, and (2) it was a real opportunity. They were awarded the contract and set up a team of 30 people. She takes pride in it because it was the first time she had been in complete control of an end-to-end project. The contract is still ongoing nine years after. Leanne takes pride in having the ability to support people in their passion and careers. [14:05] What to Look for When Handpicking Team Members Not everyone is cut out for the roles available in the facilities world. They held an open day in the local community and interviewed around 250 people. The project required customer-focused security roles. The interview process focused on soft skills. Some people may not look like someone fitting for the role at first glance. But asking them probing questions can make you realise they're perfect for the team. Balancing people's strengths is key to creating a great team. [16:10] Learnings from the Interview Process Leanne learned what not to do in an interview situation. She also met people with great potential who were in the wrong jobs and gave them an opportunity. A good interviewer can uncover the mask the interviewee is wearing. [18:44] Her Role as a Strategic Account Director Her third proudest moment is her role as a Strategic Account Director. Leanne works in the security business of Mitie. She provides security services to large customers across the UK. Her proudest moment is working through the pandemic while still delivering excellent service. They decided to collaborate at every level by setting up different degrees of communication.  It means a lot to thank the people involved in a project for their contributions. [21:55] Building a Great Customer and Team Relationship They continue to provide amazing service to their customers. Hearing good feedback fills Leanne with pride because it means she's doing her job well. She feels lucky and proud to work with amazing team members. [23:16] Managing the Transition of On-Site to Work from Home Leadership  Leanne got used to being a hands-on leader and getting out there. Their clients were not working on-site and didn't want them to come there as well.  She has an open-door policy and keeps her lines of communication open at all times. People can sometimes be in their little bubble, making it hard to see what's outside it. Having open trust and visibility is critical in leadership. Leanne's team put video communication in place early on for easy access to one another. They also issue a quarterly newsletter that incorporates employee interviews and photographs. [27:54] Creating Work and Life Balance Leanne is a mum and a wife to a husband with an equally massive job. Organising is key to keeping work and life balanced. Mum guilt is a real thing. She sees it as having different areas of life that are equally important. Knowing your priority at the time, having open communication, and not letting guilt consume you is key to creating balance. Doing the inner work leads to getting outward results. Leanne has a few non-negotiables in terms of self-care. [30:51] Leanne's Secret to Success Her secret to success is not having or not believing that you have all the answers. You are letting your ego take over when you believe you have all the answers. It leaves no room for growth, learning, and making wrong decisions. Always be humble and seek out more in terms of knowledge and learning. One big secret of success is understanding the people around you at work. Always take help when offered; showing vulnerability is something that resonates with people.  5 Powerful Quotes [04:07] “I would absolutely encourage everybody to take themselves out of their environments where they grew up, go to school, hang around with the people that are around them where they grow up, and go and meet new people, go off to a different place.” [07:33] “I think when we grow up, we're conditioned to believe that we need to behave in a certain way, act in a certain way, speak in a certain way to people, look a certain way to a degree as well." [09:51] “You have to recognise what your fears are and then really try and show yourself out there. That's what growth is.” [15:53] “It's about balancing people's strengths to create a great team.” [30:16] “If you do that inner work — that's the journaling, the personal development, the self-care — you will get the outer results.” About Leanne Leanne Culloden is the Strategic Account Director of Mitie, the UK's leading facilities management and professional services company.

And for me, that's kind of what goes on in the building.  And then at the top layer, it's how the people interact with the building.  - David The whole notion of getting back to work and bringing people safely back to work, first of all, but also having them productive in the offices - Fanie The amount of data that building provides is like, you cannot comprehend how much data it gives. - Fanie The pandemic, I don't think has actually changed any trends. I genuinely don't think it has, but what it's done is it has accelerated trends that we were already seeing in the industry. - David What's really exciting is when you're working with companies that aren't aware of how digital technologies can help them, how they can make the buildings better for the humans that work in them and look after them. - David Find your niche find something that enthuses you really makes you want to make a change. - David   Keywords: smart buildings, facilities management, service management,    About Our Guests:   David Williams https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-williams-9559641/  David has worked for Microsoft since 2005 and has been part of an internal Innovation Team since December 2014.

Curation is a term that has been used in L&D for a number of years but its actual purpose often seems to be diluted down to ‘making more content'. As discussed in this episode, curation is a useful skill to have in the L&D kitbag to draw on expertise and know-how that resides elsewhere, repurposed as solutions to real problems. Thank you to Shona Hodgson for suggesting this topic. KEY TAKEAWAYS Curation in L&D is about finding content, shaping it and helping everyone to apply it to their roles. When looking for content to curate, don´t forget internal sources. Before looking for content be crystal clear about what you are trying to achieve. Being clear on the problem you are trying to solve makes it far easier to recognise relevant content when you find it and to quickly adapt it. Ask yourself what experience you want people to have and what that engagement piece will be. You don´t need any special tech to be able to do curation successfully. When you curate something you still need to build in support tools and resources. BEST MOMENTS 'We don´t have to create everything from scratch' 'When you are laser-focused on solving real problems, then often the solution stares you in the face' 'I think am I adding value beyond that piece of content.

In 2021 we were proud to promote Kerry Stares as our Responsible Business Partner, reflecting how critical responsible business and environmental, social and governance (or ESG) issues are for the success and sustainability of our firm and how critical they are for our clients. Kerry works with stakeholders across our business to understand and improve our own environmental and social impact as a business. She works with our clients to understand their ESG priorities and to ensure that we are providing them with the right advice and support, both in our traditional role as advisors and as business partners. She also works with our intermediaries and wider networks to explore opportunities for thought leadership and collaboration in the complex and fast moving world of ESG. Kerry's conversations are so rich in insights from our clients and intermediaries - many of whom are true sustainability leaders - that we decided to record and share them as a podcast series. We hope that you enjoy and find them useful – please share your feedback. The first episode in the series features Peter Dickinson, General Counsel and Chief of Staff at facilities management and professional services company Mitie Group Plc. Kerry and Peter – a self-confessed ‘sustainability evangelist' - discuss the value proposition of ESG, the evolution of Mitie's approach and its increasing expectations of its suppliers, including law firms.

Since recording, negotiations have concluded with Mitie, and union members have agreed a 2.2% pay increase. You can find out more at www.poauk.org.uk

Reaching out to new clients can be intimidating, especially when the person you want to speak to is a senior executive. What mindset should you possess in order to have the courage to contact key decision-makers? My special guest, Natasha Makhijani has been extremely successful at opening doors at C-level. She's won major accounts such as British Airways, DHL, Royal Mail, Engie, Mitie, and many others.  What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is that she started her recruitment company working by herself from the spare bedroom of her parent's house.  In this interview, she shares her strategies and best practices for new business development.  Of course, winning a piece of work is one thing - but being able to consistently over-deliver against the client's requirements and developing those accounts is quite another matter.  Especially when the client asks for the near impossible -- in one case Natasha and her team filled 150 roles for a client, completing executive searches within 2-3 weeks and lower level roles within 2-3 days.   Natasha also shared proven strategies for building relationships with your clients and how it relates to long term thinking.  Her approach to building relationships has led to some of her clients becoming friends and mentors. Natasha is the CEO of Oliver Sanderson Group PLC and Co-Founder of Snapp CV Group PLC, a mobile job app and video platform. Oliver Sanderson is a dynamic brand in Executive Search & Selection who look after Perm and Interim assignments to FTSE 100 & 250 clients. They offer retained, exclusive and contingent end to end recruitment in a variety of disciplines and serving major UK & Global sectors. Episode Outline and Highlights [1:23] Natasha shares her main strategy to open doors for opportunities. [7:10] How long term thinking is inter-related to building relationships with clients. [33:44] Best practices to apply when reaching out to C-level executives. [36:50] Growing too quickly too soon - Natasha talks about her learnings. [41:50] How Snapp CV applies innovation and artificial intelligence. [49:45] Natasha discusses the biggest challenge in her career The Key that Opens Doors to New Opportunities When Natasha started her recruitment business nine years ago, she was a one-person business who was able to break into major blue-chip companies, being given C-level roles to fill. How was she able to get such opportunities? For her, the main key is being genuine when building relationships. When building her network, she doesn't “go in with the premise that she wants the business.” This is how she puts it: “My biggest strength has always been opening a door...I call it networking and building relationships and just being genuine… So my biggest strength is opening a door connecting with CEOs, connecting with chief people officers, connecting with group chairman, and basically, meeting them, building relationships.” She added, “I don't go in with the premise that I want business from you. And that's not the way I build relationships. I think the key to success is that you have your short term gains, your medium-term and your long term gains. And for me, that is about mapping out the people that I wanted to connect with.”   Natasha's Biggest Career Challenge When asked to share about the biggest challenge she had to face in her career, her response is: “Going from being a recruiter to managing a business and becoming a CEO.” For her, the transition is not easy as you've got to always be thinking five steps ahead. She also emphasized the value of continuous learning. Despite the challenges, was it worth it? As she says, “No longer am I the soft recruiter that I was who just delivers. I'm a businesswoman, I'm an entrepreneur, I'm someone who knows how to achieve. I know how to take a business from zero to hero. And that's the difference in running your own business.” Natasha Makhijani Bio and Contact Info Natasha is the CEO of Oliver Sanderson Group PLC and Co-Founder of Snapp CV Group PLC, a mobile job app and video platform. Natasha began her professional career with Hays Logistics on their graduate scheme. She set up the Victoria office with her manager, and within two years, the Victoria office and the staff of eight were the top-performing offices in the country. She was offered the opportunity to work with Michael Page and Robert Walters. She started with Michael Page Human Resources, and she became their top biller within HR during her first year. She helped set up their St Albans office and then moved to London to set up permanent recruitment for the Public Sector. Later, Natasha was promoted to Managing Consultant and contributed to the growth of the Public sector office. She considers herself lucky to have had a revelation to an entrepreneurial community from an early age, and she believes this helped her to shape into somebody who is vibrant and enthusiastic and with a keen interest and passion for business.

Mark Tyson, Head of Service Delivery at Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) sat down with Bold Founder, Caleb Parker, to share how space moving from product to service can create successful businesses, driving demand, premium rents and ultimately high building valuations.

What do you consider flex space? You've launched your own Space-as-a-Service brand - are you now competing with the "Weworks" of the world? What percentage of your buildings will be dedicated to SpaaS or flex? Will your valuation model change? Value Bombs and tweetables We need to stop talking about sqft and cost per sqft and talk about outcome - how the space works for a business. We’re using net promoter scores to see how people like working in a building We want to understand what the occupier is using a space for, the right conditions to make that catagory of business work and measure metrics to understand if the space is successful for a business Stop thinking about productivity gain, and start thinking about providing a space that gives people a chance to be successful. Positive outcomes enable premium rents. Service will be the differentiator when offices are a commodity People will stay in buildings longer that provide a great service thereby reducing void periods and directly affecting building valuations. Many assets won't be able to keep up with the changes in market demands, and we'll see some stranded assets which are difficult to exit. It's about what can be done to protect investments from decreasing in value. Sponsors   Bold helps commercial real estate create & manage flexible spaces to dream, create, share, and succeed in.

Show #465   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 7th May 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I could find today to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   BYTON GATHERS MILLIONS IN FINANCING WITH FAW AS MAIN INVESTOR "The Chinese electric car startup Byton is about to complete a 500 million dollar financing round, which will be led by China’s state-owned car manufacturer FAW with approximately 100 million dollars." writes Chris Randall for the industry service electrive.com: "Bloomberg reports this with reference insiders familiar with the situation. FAW had already invested around 260 million dollars in Byton last year. The value of the start-up, which confirmed the departure of co-founder Carsten Breitfeld in the middle of last month, is expected to rise to 2.5 billion dollars after the latest round of financing. Neither Byton nor FAW, however, have made an official statement."   Byton say of the M-Byte: "Conventional automotive styling features are giving way to innovative design icons. Side-view cameras replace side mirrors, iconic face recognition cameras provide user identification and BYTON Smart Surfaces show a situation-based interacting light design. The lounge feeling is intensified by outstanding digital provisions. First, be wide-eyed with the 49-inch coast-to-coast BYTON Shared Experience Display. Experience gesture control through BYTON Air Touch, interact using voice command and activate the main controls with the BYTON Driver Tablet. All these features underscore our vehicle’s extraordinary digital capability."   https://www.electrive.com/2019/05/07/byton-gathers-millions-in-financing-with-faw-as-main-investor/   https://www.byton.com/m-byte-concept   PRODUCTION-READY 2019 PORSCHE TAYCAN SPIED ON THE ROAD "An undisguised version of the all-electric Porsche Taycan has been snapped on the road ahead of its Frankfurt reveal" reports AutoExpress: "Porsche’s upcoming all-electric saloon has been caught almost completely undisguised ahead of its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show later this year. These latest spy shots give us our best look yet at the Taycan’s styling, which reveals a surprising amount of 718 Boxster and Cayman influence at the front end. Smaller details such as the retractable, flush door handles, and the conventional door mirrors can also be picked out. Porsche claims this powertrain will allow the Taycan production car to cover 0-62mph in under 3.5 seconds and 0-124mph in under 12 seconds before hitting a top speed of 155mph. Crucially, we’re told the performance will be repeatable, with the electric car able to accelerate hard "over and over again without losing performance.”   Range is less important than charge speed, with an 800v system able to add 62 miles in 4minutes at peak charge rate.   https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/porsche/taycan/92807/production-ready-2019-porsche-taycan-spied-on-the-road   NOW YOUR TESLA CAN AUTOMATICALLY PRE-ORDER FAULTY PARTS "Tesla is working to decrease service wait times by offering in-car problem diagnoses and pre-ordering of necessary parts." says InsideEVs.com: "Now, the Silicon Valley electric automaker's global fleet has not only the power to diagnose issues, but also to specify what parts may be needed. This means owners are made aware of potentially what problems the EV is undergoing, but also which parts Tesla should order ahead of your Service Center visit. Of course, if the issue is dire, you may need to get the car in for service right away. But, in many cases it may be able to wait a bit. So, with the latest update, you can see the problem, order the parts, and schedule your service at a later date. Hopefully, this is just another step to provide a better overall experience for Tesla owners."   https://insideevs.com/news/348323/diagnose-pre-order-tesla-parts-automatically/   TESLA SHANGHAI GIGAFACTORY UPDATE "In the latest aerial flyover video of the Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory, the main roof structure is now essentially complete, the walls along the east side of the main structure are also complete, and the rest is rapidly being finished. The progress over the past month has been spectacular, as we can see when comparing images over that time period." says CleanTechnica today posting a drone video by Jason Wang: "whilst there remains some construction work to be done on two taller structures at the north and south ends of the factory, the central body of the structure is now basically complete. The main roof is effectively in place (roof workers can be seen in the video, finishing up the last remaining small patches), the main east side wall is up (visible in the above shot), and the west side wall is near to completion. It’s an amazing transformation from the build state just one month ago, when the structure was still in the early phases and the first few roof panels were just starting to be laid down."   https://cleantechnica.com/2019/05/07/tesla-shanghai-gigafactory-update-unbelievable-progress-over-a-single-month/   HERE ARE THE DETAILS ABOUT TESLA'S NEW INSURANCE "Tesla wants to sell its drivers cheaper car insurance based on owners’ driving and the performance of Tesla’s Autopilot driver-assistance system" says Jalopnik: "Tesla said it has better data on the performance of its cars and drivers than insurers do, and thinks it can lower insurance costs because of that." And from the WSJ: "Researchers at the insurance-industry-funded Highway Loss Data Institute have determined that the crash-avoidance features on the Tesla Model S are reducing physical-damage and injury-liability claims, while Autopilot is lowering collision claims."   https://jalopnik.com/tesla-plans-to-offer-owners-potentially-cheaper-insuran-1834554733   MITIE SELECTS PODPOINT AS SOLE CHARGEPOINT SUPPLIER "UK facilities management and professional services company, Mitie, is moving ahead with plans to electrify 20% of its fleet of smaller vehicles by 2020." says fleeteurope.com: "Mitie, which employs 54,000 people across the UK and operates a fleet of more than 3,500 compact vans and cars, has opted for Pod Point as its charge-point partner. Pod Point will support Mitie by installing 800 chargepoints at Mitie and client offices and employee homes by the end of 2020."   https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/new-energies/united-kingdom/article/mitie-selects-pod-point-ev-recharging?a=THA13&t%5B0%5D=Pod%20Point&curl=1   2020 HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC GETS A 11 KW ON-BOARD CHARGER "Hyundai Motor just deleted a press release where it informed that the new model year Hyundai Kona Electric is going to get a 11 kW on-charger in Europe. Fortunately Stefan Kopeinig saved a screenshot with the important information from the deleted press release." write Pedro for PushEVs.com today: "Besides the new 3-phase 11 kW on-board charger, the new Hyundai Kona Electric also gets the new Hyundai Blue Link app, optional new centre display touch-screen and heated rear seats. In Europe, 11 kW on-board chargers should be standard by now, with an additional charger in parallel to reach 22 kW as an option. LG Chem is already producing 11 kW on-board chargers – aimed to the European market – with an impressive energy efficiency of 95 %."   https://pushevs.com/2019/05/07/2020-hyundai-kona-electric-gets-a-11-kw-on-board-charger/   UK PURE-EV SALES ON THE UP DESPITE OVERALL MARKET DECLINE "Sales of pure-electric vehicles continued to rise in April 2019, despite the UK car market as a whole down 4% on the previous year. Pure-EVs were up more than 63%, with 1,517 registrations in April" reports NextGreenCar today: "The downward trend for PHEV registrations has been going on since the start of 2019 - barring a slight lift in February. With the effective removal of the Plug-in Car Grant for PHEVs from October 2018, it looks as though the support may have been withdrawn too soon for the market. Although hoped that the PHEV market was performing strongly and capable of standing up despite the withdrawal of the grant, a combination of an uncertain UK car market in general, plus no company car BIK rates beyond the next financial year, look to have made the sector a little shaky."   https://www.nextgreencar.com/news/8657/uk-pureev-sales-on-the-up-despite-overall-market-decline/     COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.
