I have spoken to so many small businesses over the last month who say they always feel anxious about implementing CPI increases. It’s not just about the calculation, but the implementation too. So I created this toolkit just for you. It does all the hard work and thinking for you. Link in the comments !

Ready to implement straight into your business ahead of the CPI wage increases.

In this toolkit:
- Wage increase Letter advising staff of increase
- Increase Prompts
- Email notification template
- Record Keeping Checklist
- Payroll Implementation Checklist
- FAQ's

Practical and compliant (and you can reuse for any CPI increases in the future!).

Since hearing this quote a few weeks ago I have fallen in love with it.

We all run.
In business, in family, in friendships, in personal lives.
But we never actually manage to avoid what we are trying to, it will catch us up eventually.

It is tempting in small business to hire quickly and skip the formality that you usually see in a more corporate space but truthfully, following a strategic process and having space and order is great practice for so many reasons.

A few simple steps can give you piece of mind:
• Reference checks
• Qualification verification
• Working With Children Checks (where relevant)
• Police checks for appropriate roles
• Clear onboarding and policies
• Documented recruitment processes

Not every role or business requires every check but every business should have a process.

Monitoring and maintaining workplace certifications, especially in a professional environment is absolutely something we can help with - reach out!

Simply.
Good leaders know their team.
And, if their team is too big to know individually, they know them collectively. They know what they are capable of, they know where their limits are.

Most businesses are working with very manageable sized teams though, and when they are that size, there is absolutely no reason for not making sure you are ontop of their achievements.
And this needs to be more than just when project deliverables have been achieved, we are talking about personal goals, personal milestones.

And I can hear you "but we are here to work, not fluff around with that kind of stuff".
But, really, if you want your team to dedicate all of their efforts into your business, you need to prove to them that you are as committed to them.
Nothing says "I don't care" like not knowing when their birthdays, not asking what they did on the weekend, not knowing what their career goals are in the next 5 years or worse, what role they even perform in your organisation (and please, for goodness sake make sure you know their names!!! I could tell you some horror stories!)

Recognition doesn't have to be a huge deal. Sometimes its morning tea, sometimes its an awards evening and sometimes it's just a quick "hey, I saw what you did there, awesome job".

Recognition in a team environment is very multifaceted and ultimately the right recipe for your business is very individual to your organisation, but its something we can work out together!

This is going to be a really tough one to write about.
Because this isn't a micro-moment.
This is a small accepted way of being that infiltrates the team culture day in and day out.

As business owners, we learn very quickly that we need to become accustomed to dealing with the unexpected, at any point, throughout the day. Because business is chaotic at times. But that being said, effective leadership is about being the calm in the storm.

What you cannot do, is allow the concept of "chaos" to become the norm in your business. Because when that is the standard you allow it becomes nearly impossible to impose standards around the quality of work output.
Suddenly deadlines are optional and communication is allowed to be inconsistent and within an instant you have lost all capacity to demand accountability from the team.

This is now full blown dysfunction hidden behind your joke of "business is just chaos".

The chaos will always exist but your discipline as a leader is what will dictate what is tolerated.
If this is your standard, your team will rise, or fall to meet it.

Do you know what the word attrition means?

Someone described it the other day as "death by a thousand cuts".

Technically defined as: "the process of reducing something's strength or effectiveness through sustained attack or pressure."
Thanks Google Dictionary

If there was one leadership sin that many people leaders commit thinking it is the least harmful, its this one.

"oh, yeah, I did see that" - referring to an email someone sent a week ago.
"yeah, I missed your call the other day and didn't call you back"
"If we deal with that problem now it will open a whole can of worms"
OR
My personal favourite....

No apology, no returned phone call, no acknowledgement of seeing a message or email. It may as well have not existed.

Now there is absolutely times in your leadership where you need to use one of these lines. Realistically, probably multiple times. But, if most of your conversations are starting with one of these, its time we have a look at what is really going on.

Because the attrition your staff feel when you default to constant unavailability will quickly erode any respect or psychological safety that they have in you.

They learn that you are:
- not reachable when they need you
- unavailable for their challenges
- out of reach to understand their struggles
- caught up in your own to-do list where they are not a priority.

But I can hear you now, "I am always busy".
Yes, you are, I know this.
But if there is one thing you need to protect it is your staff.

Not your vendors. Not your competitors. Not your business buddy. Your staff.
Pick up the phone - answer the email.

While you are busy doing the rest of your role, they are the ones pushing the business forward, serving customers, doing the work, moving stock, solving problems.
All this effects your profit margin and as soon as you leave them stuck with problems they can't solve, challenges they cannot overcome or issues they can't fix, you won't just see it in productivity or the bottom line, you will also see it in your workplace culture.

I know it is overwhelming, but remember that when you prioritise them, they will prioritise you.
