A Change is as Good as a Holiday

..as the old saying goes…but one that rings true with border restrictions and overseas dream holiday destinations on pause. I know I’ve been dreaming of jet setting across the world but due to the current lockdown in a few Australian states, that dream is a dream for now, but what other changes in our lives are as good as holiday? Why is now a good time to focus on making them?

Well with so much spare time on our hands, now is a great time to start refreshing your CV, plan your next career move and start engaging with recruiters. Although some of us are in a lockdown and some job seekers might feel hesitant about making the move, this lockdown is different to 2020. Law firms are still hiring, recruitment processes continue and the demand for talent is at an all time high.

Firms have already set up to work from home, they have processes in place and can onboard remotely! The only change with Covid-19 in 2021 is face to face interviews. The legal recruitment market has continued to hire as some expand their practice groups and most record their best financial performances year to date. A secure industry to join, whether in a lockdown or not!

With so many similarities in our lives right now and being so bound to our homes, by having to work from home and staying home, looking for a new role might just be the change you are looking for, something new to sink your teeth into and refocus with a new motivation. 

Finding a job is a job within itself and can be challenging, with work commitments and timings, so take advantage of the current climate and start looking for that new role. Let’s face it, we all have more time available and virtual interviews are much easier and more discreet to organise.

Introducing AI in the workplace

By Renagi Ingram • 09 Jul, 2023
2023 has seen an significant rise of workplaces introducing A.I. into their workplace with tools such as Chat GPT becoming more utilized in day to day tasks. In recent years, AI has made significant advancements and is now being effectively applied across diverse industries, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and logistics. While there has been some resistance from employees who may fear for their jobs relevancy , organizations are increasingly embracing artificial intelligence tools and analytics. What are the benefits of A.I. in the workplace? Increased Efficiency and Productivity AI can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, allowing employees to focus on more complex and strategic activities. By streamlining processes and reducing manual labor, AI technologies can significantly enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace. Enhanced Customer Experience AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can deliver personalized and round-the-clock customer support. These AI systems can provide instant responses, address customer queries, and even handle transactions autonomously. By improving response times and offering tailored experiences, AI can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. Cost Reduction AI technologies can help reduce operational costs in various ways. By automating manual tasks, businesses can decrease labor expenses. AI can also optimize resource allocation, supply chain management, and inventory control, minimizing waste and optimizing efficiency. Additionally, AI can identify areas of potential cost savings through data analysis and process optimization. However in a recent people2people social media poll, it was revealed that 52.6% of workers in Australia find that since introducing A.I. into the workplace, their job has become worse/more difficult. Despite the rise of popularity, this indicates that there is still some hesitancy amongst the majority of people. What are the disadvantages of A.I. in the workplace? Job displacement AI automation can make certain job roles redundant, leading to unemployment and necessitating new skill acquisition. Ethical biases AI systems can perpetuate biases if trained on biased data, resulting in unfair treatment or discriminatory outcomes. Lack of human judgment AI lacks the nuanced decision-making abilities of humans, potentially leading to flawed decisions and a lack of ethical considerations.
