SCARLETT HAS JOINED OUR COVID SAFETY TEAM!

Posted on by Laurie Innerst

A large proportion of our Labourpower family lives and works in areas deeply impacted by the ongoing pandemic. During this challenging time, the safety and well-being of our team are our top priority. We are always looking for better ways to work and leverage technology, and COVID safety is no exception.

That’s why we are happy to share Scarlett has a new role, and feedback from candidates is that she is making a meaningful difference!

LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY TO GUARANTEE COMPLIANCE AND SAVE TIME

 

Scarlett is gathering details and tracking vaccination status

We’re using technology to swiftly reach out and connect with our team to gather details around their vaccination status. Scarlett is helping us comply with NSW and QLD requirements to guarantee our candidates’ vaccination status meets the needs of our clients, particularly within LGAs of concern.

Of the 3,300+ candidates Scarlett has reached, 80% have had their 1st or 2nd shots. Excellent news for the safety and availability of our talent pool and our clients that need great people!

For our candidates that are not yet vaccinated, Scarlett records their intent to be vaccinated and timing so she can follow up. She also makes a note of candidates that do not plan to be vaccinated. This system helps ensure our information is current and only appropriate candidates are considered and placed within LGAs of concern.

Scarlett is helping our team focus on filling essential roles

Through her efficient admin and 24/7 availability, Scarlett is saving our recruitment team substantial working hours. She is freeing up our recruiters to focus on matching the best candidates to the right jobs. We have a strong demand for essential workers, especially in LGAs of concern, and Scarlett is helping us fill roles faster.

 

ENSURING COVID SAFETY FOR OUR PEOPLE, WORKPLACES AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY

 

Leveraging technology to meet vaccination requirements quickly and accurately is just one of the ways we are doing our best to ensure the safety of our team, workplaces, and business continuity for our clients.

Rapid Antigen Testing

Many of our clients are taking a proactive approach to COVID safety by providing rapid antigen testing onsite. Going above and beyond to prevent positive cases in the workplace is helping to safeguard our community and minimises the risk of suspending operations.

We’re thankful to be working together with fantastic clients, doing their best to protect our candidates’ health and financial well-being.

COVID Safe Environments

Safety Goes 24/7 at Labourpower – which includes a collaborative approach to COVID safety within our business and close partnership with our clients and candidates. Our HR, WHS, branch and onsite teams work collectively to ensure:

  • Labourpower has an up-to-date COVID safety plan, reviewed regularly in line with evolving government guidelines and restrictions.
  • Each site is COVID compliant, and correct PPE is worn at all times.
  • We speak to every employee who reports feeling unwell or has come into contact with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID to assess potential risk. We communicate this information with our relevant client(s) immediately.
  • Every employee that requires testing provides negative results and is cleared by HR before returning to work to safeguard the health and well-being of our community across all sites.

With more clients adding shifts every day, securing suitable work and putting together an ideal schedule has never been easier!

Our candidates work hard, around the clock, all across Australia.

We designed the Labourpower app to provide easy access to rostering and payslip information. Whenever and wherever it is most convenient for our team. The app is a helpful resource on the go to:

  • Pull up confirmed shift details, including timing and location, with handy map integration.
  • Reference payslip history and group certificates in one central place.

On-site, our candidates can sign in and out of shifts securely with the app, helping ensure the accuracy of hours worked and on-time payslips. In addition, our team can review their hours worked and recorded. Making it simple to spot and communicate potential errors and help guarantee correct payslips.

We understand how important it is to be paid appropriately. So we made sure to include features that provide visibility and checks and balances within the app.

Our business is all about people, and the success of our customers relies on matching the right candidates to the right jobs effectively. Ultimately, everyone wins when our candidates have the tools to seize work opportunities quickly, and our clients can fill their shifts with great people.

INTRODUCING OUR COMPANY VALUES

Posted on by Nicki Davies

Labourpower is excited to introduce our new company values.  These core values  are important to our business success and help keep our whole team working towards shared goals and vision. 

Company values are the beliefs and guiding principles that help drive an organisation.

So, as Labourpower evolves as a business, we feel it’s important to have a set of values that reflect who we are today.

Developing our company values

One of our main priorities in developing new company values is to ensure they are representative of the Labourpower business as a whole.

Therefore, the first step was to create a list of 10 core values complete with definition and compile these into a survey.

After that, the survey was sent out to all internal employees to vote on their top five values.

As part of this process, our team was also able to describe how we demonstrate these values every day.

Finally, we picked the top four values as voted by our staff, including trustworthiness, family, customer success and innovation.

We also went through each of the values to finalise definitions using suggestions provided in the survey responses.

Introducing the Labourpower company values

Firstly, we have TRUSTWORTHINESS. Next there is FAMILY. Then CUSTOMER SUCCESS. And finally, INNOVATION.

As a result of everyone having an opportunity to have their say, we feel confident that the Labourpower values resonate with our entire team.

We’re also excited to build on our success and grow as a business with these values as our foundation.

TRUSTWORTHINESS

We demonstrate integrity and accountability to our clients and candidates through our determination for their success. We are genuine and seek to build trust in every relationship. We don’t make excuses and honour commitments we have made. We are dedicated, accountable, and consistent in standing up for what is right.

FAMILY

We are the Labourpower family. We are stronger together. We are a united team built on a foundation of respect, trust and care for each other. We are helpful and we listen. We work hard together, we laugh together and we celebrate the wins together.

CUSTOMER SUCCESS

We know that the success of our clients and candidates determines our success and we are committed to succeeding and growing with them. We know that our work is meaningful to our clients, our candidates, the business and ourselves. We are committed to using our power, expertise and resources to make a valuable impact.

INNOVATION

We are bold, adaptable, and take risks in the development and application of new ways of working. We reflect, we learn and we leave things better than we found them.

Bringing the Labourpower values to life

Finally, as a company we are passionate about the success of our employees and our clients. These new company values reflect our vision for the future, including:

  • Better job opportunities
  • A focus on continuous improvement and value-add, and
  • An ongoing commitment to state-of-the-art technology and innovation

Above all, we look forward to incorporating the Labourpower values into everything we do.
