Accounting On Purpose

I want to discuss job automation and job loss and what this means for jobs in the future.

Globally, It’s already been a wild year and the future of the workplace might feel even a little more uncertain for some. Robots taking over jobs in the near future is a real possibility as we have tasted a crisis that has, for the most part, shut the world down.

The question on many people’s lips is ‘will robots take our jobs?’ and the simple answer is, over time - yes they will. We’ve already seen it happen with the installation of ATMs and self-service checkouts in the grocery store. AI taking jobs is the modern world that we live in.

However, I want to pose to you the idea that jobs in the future, while potentially different from today's, will be abundant and require something that only humans can give. And that’s what I want to discuss in today’s video.

Will robots take my job?
Will robots replace humans?
Yes.
But jobs that will disappear will be replaced by new jobs that, I believe, will bring even more professional fulfilment.

Are you thinking of starting an enterprise here in Australia that has a social purpose? Perhaps starting a social enterprise is something you have in your long term business plan?

Well, starting a social purpose enterprise is a little different to starting a nonprofit organisation and many people think they are one in the same. I want to use this episode to walk you through the differences and what that actually means for you as you start your enterprise.

To be clear, this is not a social enterprise vs nonprofit in terms of which is better but rather which is better for you and your goals.

We’ve officially moved into an interesting time here in Australia, as well as globally, where working from home and flexible working arrangements have been enforced.

It’s not an easy task understanding how to facilitate flexible working arrangements in Australia and as we move back into the regular pace of work (when this is over) we will likely be faced with flexible work as an expectation. So how do we navigate that?

Flexible working hours are one thing but there are also flexible working practices that we might not have even considered because we are yet to experience the challenges and adaptations that come with a flexible workforce.

With flexible working conditions becoming the new norm, I’d like to help you navigate staff work flexibility by giving you some of my own flexible working examples as well as challenges we’ve faced or that I’ve seen play out for clients.

I’d also like to extend my help for those of you who are finding this time challenging. If you need help with your accounting or even understanding what might be available to you through the government stimulus packages, or maybe you simply need some more remote working tips please reach out to me and we can work through it together.

 When you begin to go down the rabbit hole of building a business in Australia there are so many questions involving the ‘how’. One of the biggest downfalls of that thinking is that we need a ‘how to start’ motivational speech just to get us off our couch and into action.

If you want to know how to start a business you simply get it done. There isn’t a magic formula, you just start it. Just start now. Get up and do one thing to move you towards your goal. Stop procrastinating with the how.

Stop procrastinating, motivation won’t find you when you’re idle. If you really want to stop procrastination in its tracks or stop procrastinating now then you get up, you step outside, you make a phone call, you build a website, you ask for a referral, you reach out, you cold call, you just. Do. something. To get it done. Motivation is a false idea that people look for to give them momentum but the truth is that motivation comes by doing. The joy that comes through doing creates momentum and instils motivation in you to get up and try again tomorrow.

In this episode I give you a real life example of how this played out in my life and get yourself moving!

Sometimes it can be difficult to put empathy and care about the fiscal needs of the business but today I want to talk to you about caring in business and how caring about employees makes for good business.

It seems obvious right? That we should care about our business and our people within its four walls but empathy in business and more specifically, empathy in business leadership isn’t always present. Show of hands who has ever worked in a toxic environment? 🙋‍♂️

Unfortunately it’s all too common and really, it just makes for bad business. Otherwise known as 'tactical empathy' in business is such an excellent skill to hone because leadership creates the culture and to have an empathy workplace where everybody cares for and tries to understand one another is an environment worth working in (and working towards!)

So join me today as I talk about how this plays out.

Are you a leader of a company and tearing your hair out because building trust in the workplace is HARD?! You aren’t the only one!

Building trust in teams isn’t easy but it also isn’t complicated! The good news is that a culture of trust is a top down initiative so the buck starts and stops with you. Learning how to build trust in teams is really you learning how to give trust TO your team. If you don’t give it to them, they cannot give it to their peers or those who report to them.

Learning how to build trust at work and ultimately building successful teams simply takes time. You have to wait for them to have a myriad of situations in which they can process the trust they’ve been given and then do something with it. Leadership trust or trust given by the leader is of ultimate importance. 
You are their biggest champion. If your team develop a workplace culture of trust then essentially it frees you up to do other things within your role that perhaps require a little more of you.

Building trust through committed leadership is one of the best ways for workplace trust to be built and team commitment to grow evident. 

So let me walk you through how to do this so that you are equipped to build trust with your employees!

Internal fraud is a very real thing in business but unfortunately by the time you know anything about it, it’s too late. Preventing employee theft is possible though - but for you it can feel awkward.

In this episode I look at employee theft and specifically employee theft prevention so that you know how to frame it in your mind when you’re putting measures in place.

Employee theft in the workplace is something every business owner needs to know about. Employee theft signs are not always obvious so it’s important we put working parameters in place from the beginning to avoid these things. It’s a safeguard for both you and the employee.

So if you want to know how to stop employees from stealing or you have an employee stealing money, then watch this to understand what to do.
