International Women's Day - #ChooseToChallenge
โโA challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change. So, let's all choose to challengeโ.โThe above quote is taken directly from the International Womenโs Day website, relating to this yearโs topic - #ChooseToChallenge. It shows the importance of challenging bias and celebrating womenโs achievements in the hope that there will be equality for both men and women in and out of the workplace.โPremier is proud to be able to work with clients and candidates in some fantastic industries including Technology, Engineering and Creative. But do these industries show gender equality across their businesses or is there still more to do?โTechnologyThe world of technology and ecommerce has long been dominated by men, with top level roles in tech, digital and ecommerce being filled mostly by males. Women do continue to be underrepresented in the tech industry, however there have been some increases in women in senior IT roles in companies recently (Tech Republic). Anna Curzon, Chief Product Officer at Xero has stated how a better balance between men and women means broader insight, more empathy and fresh ideas. Having that gender equality across Tech teams can only be a positive thing as it will certainly bring a sense of collaboration, helping to get the most out of everyoneโs knowledge and skills.โEngineeringAccording to Farnaz Ronaghi, CTO and Founder of NovoEd, there are still issues in attracting women to STEM. Silicon Republic have also stated how the interest is still there with female students in pursuing a career in engineering, however, there needs to be encouragement โ simply seeing more women in engineering roles could really inspire young females to continue in the field. There have been some steps in the right direction with groups such as โInternational Day of Women & Girls in Scienceโ continuing to champion gender equality in the industry. However, with women only currently making up 12% of engineers, there is still lots of work to be done for in order to represent both men and women equally.โCreativeAlmost 1 in 8 UK companies are now creative companies showing just how fast the creative industry is growing. With millions of people in the industry, there are still changes that need to be made in order to ensure gender equality across the sector. According to Workbrands, representation of women in creative has increased throughout the years, however the creative economy only has 37.1% of jobs filled by women, compared to 46.9% in the UK as a whole. This demonstrates the need for businesses to do more in the sector in order to eradicate the gender bias that exists.โAlthough there have been some positive changes over the years in all industries, the inequality that still occurs just proves how important it is to continue to challenge any bias in the workplace and in everyday life too.In line with trying our best to decrease the inequality that still occurs, Premier promotes awareness throughout the business by training staff both internally and externally, such as unconscious bias workshops from a third party. We have a policy to reflect diversityย &ย inclusionย and ensure this is practiced as well as having anonymised CVโs being presented to our hiring team, as well as offering this service to our clients.โHappy International Womenโs Day!

The Importance of Gender Diversity in the Workplace
โHappy International Womenโs Day! Talking about gender diversity in 2020 may seem redundant, but in some workplaces, women are still underrepresented. Having a balanced, diverse workforce is so important and here are just a few reasons why:ย 1.ย ย ย Different Skills & PerspectivesBy having a diverse workforce, youโll automatically have a whole host of viewpoints and skills across your employees. These different perspectives will spark new innovations and creativity which can lead to exciting opportunities within your business. The wide range of skills between both men and women can only be a winning formula!ย 2.ย ย ย CollaborationWomen are traditionally known to have great listening skills which aids in group discussion, bringing teams together when brainstorming ideas or conducting employee meetings. Having both women and men in teams together encourages collaboration helping to get the most out of everyoneโs knowledge and skills.ย 3.ย ย ย Boost Your Brandโs ReputationHaving a diverse business is great for boosting your brandโs reputation! Throughout the recruitment process, more and more people are choosing a company based on having a brilliant company culture, but also diversity in the workplace.ย 4.ย ย ย Customer CommunicationIn most businesses, youโll have a customer base from different backgrounds. Having both women and men as prominent figures in the company will ensure effective communication and engagement with customers and clients, really helping you to stand out from competitors!โ5.ย PositivityHaving gender diverse policies in place can boost the positivity and overall atmosphere of an office! It becomes a space in which individuals can communicate their ambitions resulting in job satisfaction and an increase in motivation.โAt Premier, we pride ourselves on having a very diverse workforce, whether that's gender, race or ethnicity - this diversity truly makes Premier a fantastic place to work! Is your business doing everything it can to encourage workplace diversity? We hope everyone enjoys the International Womenโs Day celebrations this weekend!

![The Importance of Employer Brand in Attracting Talent]()
The Importance of Employer Brand in Attracting Talent
โEmployer Brand and EVP is a topic thatโs been thrown around for a number of years but is now something that each and every company needs to be taking very seriously in order to attract the best talent in the market. Weโre seeing, that whilst salary is still an important factor in a candidateโs decision to join a company, employer brand and the company offering across benefits, culture and personal development are even more important. With all this in mind, the first big question some of you might be asking is:ย What is EVP/Employer Brand:Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is a term used to describe the blend of factors, principles and offerings that create the appeal of working for an organisation. Every company strives to create a proposition that helps it stand out in the market but at the same time also reaffirm and build on its strengths with current employees. Essentially, companies review and develop their EVP and employer brand in order to understand what makes them great and sets them apart from other companies and essentially why more people should join them. From the information gained by current employees as to why they love where they work, companies can put together content that really showcases their business to the external market enabling them to continue attracting fantastic talent whilst at the same time, continue to engage with their current workforce and create a really strong โpeopleโ brand.ย Why is this important?Having a strong employer brand is a great way of becoming an employer of choice, which, in such a competitive market will drastically increase your chances of landing top talent. We all know how frustrating it can be when you lose out to hiring that brilliant candidate because theyโve decided to go with the โotherโ company and by defining and promoting your EVP & brand, you can really decrease the chances of this happening! ย There are lots of stats available that show why a strong EVP and brand is important but I think a key one is that 69% of candidates are more likely to apply to a company if theyโre seen to be actively managing their employer brand. This is a huge uplift in the number of candidate applications, and considering every company want talent to be queuing up to join them, getting this right will be hugely beneficial in the long run. ย Not to labour the point, but itโs super competitive out there with the majority of companies fighting to find the same talent so getting your EVP/employer brand defined and promoted will really give you the edge over your competitors.โWhatโs next?First things first- start talking about it within your business! Most companies have a set of values and your EVP/brand can be built or defined around these but you need to start the initial conversation internally. Define what you actually want to achieve and involve your current employees in getting there- your best advocates are the people that currently work there so itโs important to get their insights into why itโs great to work in your business!ย We can help!ย The recruitment agency landscape is rapidly changing and here at Premier weโre offering more and more added value products to help our clients attract and retain the best talent. Weโre utilising our excellent marketing team and partnering with a number of clients to help them define and promote their EVP and brand to the market through candidate brochures, events, creative advertising and much more. Considering the reach we have in the market and the number of candidates we speak to on a daily basis, having us as a partner to promote your brand is an excellent way to make sure the industry is talking about you and why they should join your business! Weโre already seeing a positive impact on both the number of applicants, but also increased levels of retention based on the candidates being so bought into the brand and company.โโโIf you want to explore this option further, or hear more about our other products, please donโt hesitate in getting in touch with Jamie - jburley@premiergroupuk.com
