Business Minds Ep5: John Glover - Employment and people shortages
Welcome to Business Minds, a podcast proudly brought to you by Sydney Hills Business Chamber.
Our show aims to both educate and inspire business owners – big or small – by sharing stories and extensive experience from like-minded people.
I am your host Fiona Kane and today I’m chatting with John Glover from Pendragan about “Employment and people shortages”.
John Glover has run businesses for over 30 years. His current companies are Pendragon - a Contractor Management/Payroll and sponsorship company - Oz Migration - an immigration/visa company - and Your Australian Business – which helps international companies set up and trade in Australia.
He started in the IT Telecoms industry, then moved onto the Hospitality industry, where he learned that service, service, and service is all that matters…
He also ran a very successful Social Club - with over 1500 members - when he was in his 20’s before mobile phones or emails.
John’s overhauled business knowledge is second to none.
Questions:
- Does Australia have a people shortage?
- What effect does that have across certain industries?
- What's a possible solution? (Working holiday makers Students Skilled labour etc)
- In this ‘New world of work’, how do you think employers should look at employing people?
- Is there a need for that person to be in the country?
- Can they do the work from anywhere in the world? If so, how?
- What are the most suitable visas to get skilled migrants into Australia?
- Is there anything a company needs to be aware of when hiring migrants - such as how they advertise the position?
