Our Business Champions - do we walk the talk ?

We spend a lot of time listening to our clients and candidates and take pride in the fact that we facilitate great fits from which all parties can reap benefits. We believe that the best people want to work for the best companies and often finding a match in values, attitude and behaviours can be more important than simply matching to a skill profile. We want our clients to be happy with the people we present and people have to be happy in their jobs to deliver superior performance. So even after we have placed a candidate, we keep listening.

As an independent, flexible and responsive business that trusts its people to get on with it, we are not encumbered with hierarchies and slow decision making. All our people are expected to have a passion for the business and client/candidate skills, along with a team working ethic and excellent communication skills.

In 2009 we decided that where a colleague had demonstrated an engagement with the business and our values, coupled with sustained superior performance, then, regardless of their role, we will recognise them as a Business Champion.

Amongst other things, we expect our Business Champions to

Exceed client expectations by displaying a total commitment to identifying and providing solutions of the highest possible standards aimed at addressing client needs

Walk the talk as an advocate of “The Elizabeth Michael Way”

Listen to other people and take account of their views

Never stop looking for smarter ways of doing things

Set the example in quality and treat EM and client resources as if they were their own
