EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Alexander Daniels | July 04, 2019
This is what life looked like last week for all Alexander Daniels staff. A first-class reward for all AD Divisions: HR, Accountancy and Finance, Legal, Offshore, Energy, Engineering, and Global. The event organisers went above and beyond organising a great trip to Barcelona, Sitges to reward our hard working Consultants and Managers, but also to encourage team bonding. “Team building activities can help you to build both a positive company culture and the types of behaviours that make businesses thrive” Benefits of Team Building Activities: Although we had the luxury of stepping away from the usual work office in Birmingham to sunny 40 degree Barcelona weather, there are many benefits of organising team socialising events for employees within a business. It is proven that team building exercises not only improves productivity as it enables staff to come together in a more social and relaxed atmosphere to share ideas, however it also provides an opportunity for an organisation to improve processes, policies and procedures.

HR ANALYTICS
Mix Talent | June 03, 2022
Mix Talent and ANI, two rapidly growing Columbus-based businesses, have announced a partnership that will pair Mix's expertise in assessments and measurement with ANI's negotiation, conflict resolution, and leadership training and coaching.
Having worked with several fortune 500 companies, some of the largest governmental agencies like NASA and the United States Senate, and several prominent universities, ANI believes their partnership with Mix will add significant value to their client engagements. "We want to be at the forefront of negotiation and the data and measurement capabilities we get by partnering with Mix will be the difference. We can answer the question, 'What is your track record of success?' with specificity, and currently no one else can do that," said Kwame Christian, Esq., M.A., the Managing Director at ANI.
Founded in 2018, Mix Talent is a talent acquisition and consulting organization focused on supporting pharma, biotech, digital therapeutics/medtech, and gene therapy organizations. Their assessment solutions help organizations identify, analyze, and measure talent – a collection of capabilities that ANI believes will be highly valuable to their clients' organizations.
"This is really about answering the question, 'How do we shift social systems and use organizations who are committed to doing better?' We want to get beyond box-checking. We want to understand how those attitudes are being moved as a function of the training and coaching, which is focused on inclusive leadership."
-Ali O'Malley, PhD, Director, People Insights and Transformation at Mix Talent
The organizations intend to make this partnership flexible, allowing clients to customize their solutions. "It's not just something off the shelf, it's tailored and easy to do. That's what our clients are hungry for," said Shane Ray Martin, Head of Sales at ANI.

RECRUITMENT & RETENTION
EY | February 07, 2022
The United Service Organizations (USO) and Ernst & Young LLP (EY) are joining forces to support professional development within the military community. During a three-year strategic relationship, the USO and EY will create career and mentorship opportunities for service members and their spouses.
"The USO and EY share a commitment to helping others become the best versions of themselves. This relationship will allow thousands of our brave troops and their spouses to plan rewarding professional lives that leverage their unique skillsets, EY representatives already sit on six USO advisory boards throughout the United States, and we are looking forward to even more cross-organization engagement in the future."
-USO CEO and President J.D. Crouch II.
A $1.5M donation and pro bono services from EY will support numerous USO initiatives between Jan. 2022 and Dec. 2024. These include the USO Pathfinder® Transition Program, which connects the military community to employment, education, financial readiness, and mentorship opportunities. It is a crucial resource for the 200,000-plus service members and 650,000-plus military spouses who experience a major life transition each year.
The strategic relationship will also strengthen EY's hiring initiatives while raising awareness of the USO's important role in military career development. EY employees will have a chance to meaningfully engage with service members through mentorship, board positions, and storytelling. Each interaction will help bridge the military-civilian divide and give more than thanks to those in uniform.
About the USO:

At hundreds of locations worldwide, we are united in our commitment to connect our service members and their families through countless acts of caring, comfort, and support. The USO is a private nonprofit organization, not a government agency. Our programs, services and entertainment tours are made possible by the American people, the support of our corporate partners, and the dedication of our volunteers and staff.
