“Eventually.......!” 😀
It is probably true that ‘they’ say, “all good things come to those who wait”.
Well, eventually, my waiting is over, and I am, eventually, on my way to Ireland. I never anticipated to travel in October and had to attend to quite a few other matters that were arranged months ago🤭….BUT, happy to eventually visit my daughter in Dublin! 🇨🇮

With packing and getting everything ready for the trip, it reminded me again of the last few months’ feeling insecure, uncertain, badly treated and ignored (visa office and embassy), waiting in anticipation, not knowing what and when (the future) ….ALL related to the SCARF model, which is such a useful tool in the World of Work.
Here is a reminder of the SCARF model, to consider when you really want your team to perform in excellence…. remember all these ‘domains’ have a positive and / or negative effect on productivity, engagement, motivation and general well-being of every individual member in your team.
What is the SCARF Model? 🧠
The SCARF Model was developed by David Rock: "SCARF: A Brain-Based Model for Collaborating with and Influencing Others."
SCARF stands for the five key "domains" that influence our behavior.
1. Status – our relative importance to others.
2. Certainty – our ability to predict the future.
3. Autonomy – our sense of control over events.
4. Relatedness – how safe we feel with others.
5. Fairness – how fair we perceive the exchanges between people to be.

I shall be back middle October

We are all shocked beyond belief and understanding about the murder of Charlie Kirk. In our country so many similar deaths go unnoticed…are we so blind and disconnected because of the frequency and what we see on social media?

Not sure why, but I feel compelled to remind all those in leadership positions to get to basics of meeting your team members in person and regularly. It is only through regular conversations and interaction that we really get to what goes on in the minds and hearts of our employees.

I am sure all know how often I remind managers to have those one-on-ones with each and every member of your team. Regular engagements result in open discussions and teams are empowered and feel comfortable to share of ideas and opinions. – resulting in pro-actively knowing when there are serious issues and potential conflict which can be prevented!

Let us change anger into care for our fellow colleagues!

Wishing you a super blessed BRAAI DAY….tjoppies, wors and of course, a braai broodjie! 🍗🇿🇦🔥

I am back from an amazing 4-day hike in the mountains and in nature.
It made me realise again how important it is to take a break – even how important it is to change your environment when you can and are able to.….

So, in the world of work, where there is so much stress and worries and tasks and
responsibilities…., take that break when it is your lunch hour – have your sarmie, salad, or whatever anywhere BUT at your computer in the office!
Research has proven how incredibly important it is for being able to deal with stress and our mental health! Yes, it is tough out there and worthwhile to do what is ALSO important, and that is, LOOK AFTER YOURSELF and your HEALTH and WELL-BEING!

Just do it…. Get up, go outside, walk around the block, sit under a tree, change your setting, environment, area….! JUST DO IT!

Let us know if you need some advice and guidance on Workplace Wellness in your
teams…we are a phone call away!

Yours in mental health!

SHE MOVES, SHE LEADS

What a great morning we had at a Cape Chamber function to end woman's month.

At the incredible Taj Hotel in Cape Town we came together (dressed in activewear) and spend the morning with powerful women encouraging one another.

We had a lovely walk. What a blessing it is to be active and healthy.

If we invest in ourselves only then can we invest in others.

Ignorance is bliss but NEVER when it comes to HR matters…

Despite not being able to plan while I wait anxiously for the Irish visa to be issued to visit my daughter in Dublin, I have been asked to do some training for a client’s management team.
The first session of the Big 5 Labour Legislation workshop with managers proved to be a huge success. It was, however, very interesting to note how little managers know about fair and unfair labour practices, fair and unfair dismissals, conditions of service, leave provisions and entitlements, and other important labour matters.
Their feedback was how incredibly valuable this session was and how much more empowered they feel now, having such vital information for more effective management of their teams.
All managers have that 1 or 2 difficult employee who thinks they know it all! Oh, goodness, partial knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance itself!!! Managers MUST have the correct information and knowledge to deal with such challenges!
It is a huge investment in a management team to gain the relevant, practical know-how and application of our labour legislation.

Feel free to let us know how we can assist you and your fellow managers to know more to be better equipped to manage effectively and pro-actively!

Enjoy the rainy weather
Warm Regards
Uluma HR Team
