New Clients

It has been a busy month for Logic – we have been successful in securing a number of new clients and would like to welcome Pyramid Constructions and Aker Solutions to the group. Both companies offer a number of additional benefits to staff outside the standard salary package – if you are interested in working for either company we would love to hear from you. Please contact Amanda Mouttet on 9322 4873 or amo@logicrecruitment.net

Charity Events

Team Logic will be participating in the 2008 Heart Swim on the 1st of November 2008. This is an event aimed at raising money for the Heart Foundation by getting together a team of 5 and swimming non stop for 3 hours. It is good training for our Rottnest Channel Swim campaign in February.

For further info please refer to www.mastersswimmingwa.asn.au

If you wish to sponsor our team per lap of the pool please let me know (full receipts from the Heart Foundation will be provided)

New Service

Logic now provides a Head Hunter service managed by our new team member Jonathan Wipp. He is responsible for finding that perfect candidate rather than them finding you. For further information please contact Jonathan on 9322 4873 or jpw@logicrecruitment.net

Don’t worry we guarantee we will not headhunt within our current client base.

Did you know that on average 51 West Australian employees are injured in the work place every day?

That seems a large number.

Occupational Health & Safety is a minefield of regulations and laws which are continually changing and updating. Large organisations are able to allocate specific Safety Advisers or OH&S Consultants to ensure that work safety is a priority.

But what about the smaller companies who cannot afford such a position – well here are some ideas to ensure an injury free workplace?

1) Consult and involve staff to raise the profile of Health & Safety
2) Conduct regular inspections of the workplace
3) Train staff in first aid and any other relevant safety areas
4) Have a Safety & Health Management Plan – these are your procedures and policies for all staff to follow

For further information relating to workplace safety please refer to www.worksafe.com.au and www.docep.wa.gov.au.

After watching a particularly disturbing movie on Saturday night we switched to the ABC to find out the results of the WA State Election. As you all well know there were no results. A large amount of the population decided that Labor was no longer the way to go but there weren’t enough to hand it to the Libs outright. So what happens?

Does it really all come down to the National Party who only won 4 seats? 2 more than they had and a handful of Independents. Brendon Grylls spends the week being woo’d by both parties before deciding who he would best like to play with, shouldn’t he have known this before we even went to election? How do both parties make fundamental promises to secure the support of the National party in such a small amount of time? And what happens if Brendan can’t decide?

Over the past week there has been a lot of political discussion - trust me I have been listening to everything possible to get an understanding on the situation - but there is nothing clear for the common folk? If anyone can shed some light feel free to make a comment.

When it comes to Recruitment throughout all this unknown, Logic Recruitment is still finding quality candidates regardless of who comes to power, there will just be different topics of conversation around the coffee machine.
