Flexible Benefits - All in a Day’s WorkA recent survey has shown that flexible working hours are, believe it or not, often more preferable to a pay rise. It’s appropriate, then, that a new piece of legislation championed by Government Minister Beverley Hughes allows all you workaholics the right to request a certain degree of flexibility to your working day. However, this emphasis on reaching a good work-life balance goes much further than just flexible hours; a quick glance at the range of perks now being offered by some of our clients shows that they don’t need a piece of legislation to remind them to give their staff the rewards they deserve. Here’s just a small selection of what’s on offer:
So when thinking about your next career move, it’s good to look at the full range of benefits being offered and ensure that you look at the overall package on offer.

The Arctic Monkeys may be the best known people to have used the web’s viral capabilities to create a word of mouth phenomenon, but now businesses too are making the most of these new online social networks with a variety of clever marketing and advertising operations. A career in internet based advertising or marketing will allow you unrivalled scope for creativity, as demonstrated in BBC Radio 1’s groundbreaking ‘MusiCubes’ constructor, which has been recognised in a number of online advertising awards. Users of the BBC website are invited to construct a virtual cube made up of their favourite musical genres and put it on their MySpace page. The result is a piece of self-publishing advertising - the user is happy to show MySpace buddies their musical tastes whilst at the same time conveying Radio 1’s brand identity to an entirely new network of people. However, three consecutive years of 60% year-on-year growth in online marketing means that many companies are struggling to find skilled staff to fill positions. Employers are sometimes forced to choose between talented, digital experts abreast of the new technologies or people with a grip on marketing and the vital experience of handling clients, when in reality it is a combination of these talents that is needed. Most of our marketing positions are beginning to incorporate more and more web-based business, and this only looks set to grow. Check out our latest marketing roles at www.regananddean.com/vacancies.php A Problem Solved...In our last newsletter we covered how to beat those new job nerves, but this month we’re going to offer a few handy tips to help with problems that even the most confident employee might face. A career, after all, is like life - it has its ups and downs. All problems have to be worked through, but rarely is it the end of the world. Above all the best piece of advice is not to rush into any hasty decisions, but here are some more of Regan and Dean’s top tips:
If moving jobs is an option you’re considering to solve your problem then, for alternative solutions. Check out our recent roles: www.regananddean.com/vacancies.php Crackdown on Composite CompaniesAs many of our candidates in events and marketing opt to work as freelancers within composite companies, it may be worth your while to plan ahead for a new legislation change targeting ‘managed services companies’ set to come into effect after the budget. Those of you who work for ‘umbrella companies’ should be fine, however if you have been working under a managed services company, the Chancellor’s policy changes leave you with a number of decisions to make. Clients of managed services companies may decide to choose from the following options:
Moreover it doesn’t just affect individuals. It has been suggested that the Inland Revenue will place the responsibility with hirers if they have trouble tracking down any collapsed managed services company, and as such these companies may be liable to account for contractors from up to six years previously. We aren’t lawyers, but it seems it would be in everyone’s best interest to get a head start on these legislation changes before April creeps up on you.

Not Any MoreWhereas the traditional PA’s day’s work may have largely revolved around diary management, administrative tasks and making the odd cup of tea, the role of today’s Personal Assistant couldn’t be further from it. Nowadays the PA’s role tends to involve anything from carrying out specific projects and research to being actively involved in the decision-making process, and so they have increasingly become an integral part of how any business is run. The ability to quickly adapt and handle any project which is thrown at you is obviously important here, and as such it is often the case that no one day is the same as the next! "As a Personal Assistant you often need to have the most extensive knowledge of how an organisation is run," one of our PAs told us, "you can be asked to research all manner of subjects at a minute’s notice so you need to know your company’s aims and objectives as well as who the key personnel are, both inside and outside the company. I’ve got to the stage now where I feel quite capable of covering for my boss if he is away on business for a few days, and this added responsibility makes the role extremely rewarding."
