Mr Ziegfield has a headache…and finds his zest!


Mr. Ziegfield has a headache…and finds his zest!

Published  https://www.tsrn.co.uk/news/ 

In a distant sunny land, somewhere over the rainbow, there was a business park. On that business park was a large office selling a service. In that building there were many corridors and off those corridors, many doors. Behind those doors were desks, laptops, and groups of individuals all doing their bit to get the show on the road.

On the third floor there was a carpeted passageway (the rest had linoleum tiles, but we won’t go there) and cited at the end of the final corridor was the office of Mr Ziegfield.

Loosening his orange silk tie, Mr. Ziegfield poured himself a glass of sparkling Italian mineral water. Feeling the need to cool down, he helped himself to ice from his fridge. The iridescent large chunks entered the water and made a noise that only ice cubes can make as they join their shimmering costars in their fizzing glass of bubbles. A slice of lemon was added. Mr. Carlos Ziegfield walked over to the window and sighed.

A knock at the door and a body collapsed into the room dropping her mop and scattering cleaning products across the floor. Picking herself up Rhoda put everything back in her cleaning caddy and placed it on a chair. Carefully leaning her wooden-handled mop against the wall.

Carlos turned to his favourite member of staff.

“If only all my staff were as enthusiastic, skillful, and creatively responsive as you Rhoda, “he said as he went to the fridge and then poured Rhoda a fresh glass of sparkling water.

“In fact Rhoda..have you ever thought of metaphorically chucking the cleaning stuff out the window and bringing that wonderful attitude of yours to another position. I am sure my P.A. could show you the ropes…”

Rhoda straightened her t-shirt, smiled, and accepted the invitation.

So, what does this drama-filled tale with a delightful conclusion tell us?

Well, maybe that it is time to consider that the traditional ways of finding new talent in the workplace are changing. Sometimes sparkling water suddenly bursts forth from the most unlikely places. Thinking out of the box, or shall we say, trying a new refreshing way of recruitment might just be the casting call that takes you all the way to the dazzling heights of success.

Let us go on with the show, and in the meantime please call TSRN if you seem to have lost your zest…

Then the car excels at great speed. ...

Recruitment: The Penny in Your Pocket !

When we recruit, we are enrolling, enlisting that new person needed to fit into the culture of the workplace. You may just want someone who gets it done, does the job, and keeps things ship shape or you may want that certain someone who makes the difference as well. Brings a certain something to the team that was lacking. Once upon a time in a marketing office, there stood a marketing manager . Jasmine had just finished collecting stats for a report and updating the company website. She felt flat, yes as flat as a pancake without any sugar or lemon. She wondered how the rest of the week would turn out. Or would it just be a flop? Jasmine walked over to the window and slowly pulled the glossed sash upwards. The smell of fresh air was divine as it filtered up her nose, then down her throat, to her lungs. She looked over to the coffee shop down the road. And decided it was time for hot chocolate! But what was this, she had left her purse at home. Feeling disappointed she turned round to f...

Pegasus: Publicity Agents with Wings! So, why not...

Settle down in a comfy chair with a hazelnut, cream billabong, nut crush latte.... Pegasus: Publicity Agents with Wings! Peg and her sis, Nora, had done it! Well, you might say, done what Sonya? It all began with the new contract with the much-acclaimed Gorgon Biscuit Empire. It had been a crummy year, and the girls looked forward to receiving a large dossier containing a yummy filling, the client's brief. But instead of a thick layer of paper, detailing requirements, they found a sheet of paper with two words written in bright pink felt tip. UNICORN SANDWICH Well, Peg and her sis were baffled. Their feathers had been ruffled! They both felt as though they had snakes in their hair as they decided on their plan of action. Today's client meeting would be refreshing, and different. And it definitely would Involve mind mapping! Very soon they realized that Gorgon Biscuits had Pegasus written all over them. This was no conservative pale rich tea crust of a company. It was a fandang...
