Earlier in the year I was fortunate enough to hear a number of words of wisdom from Jeff Grout. In addition to a distinguished career in recruitment Jeff was able to draw on his experience as Business Manager to Sir Clive Woodward (2002 -2006). I latched onto the concept of ‘Team rules’. How the England rugby team set their own rules – (how does a world class team behave?) – and their own needs? (What does the organisation need to provide?)

On Friday of last week we spent a team day in Cambridge. The team looked at Behaviours we needed to alter in order to continue our development as a world class Recruitment agency; and what Ifftner needs to provide. We also explored our core values – this will allow us to benchmark future hires. We presented our new Vision for Ifftner and a three year road map. If there was a recruitment World Cup – we are on our way!
On reflection – invest in a day away from the office – we always say it, but ‘it pays back in spades’.
