The right person for your team – Part 2

Clear Vision • December 11, 2015

In last week’s article we talked about how important it is to find the right candidate for a position in your team including how important cultural fit is to that new team member.

Here are some more tips to help you find the right person for your team:

Publicise employment openings

It’s important to be strategic when thinking of where to post.  Be sure to include a listing on your corporate website.  Customers who are familiar with your company can make some of the best employees.

Be sure to list the job requirements, as well as the distinct advantages of working for your company. Consider a testimonial from a former or current team member.

Not only does it distinguish your company, but it lets potential team members know just how serious you are about creating a positive work environment.

Be honest and clear about responsibilities

It’s important to be honest and clear about the duties and responsibilities of the position. It’s also very important that you do not make promises that cannot be kept.

Overselling the position may catch you the best candidates, but it’s not likely to keep them.  People become discouraged and disenchanted if promises are not kept.

12% Superannuation Guarantee - 1 July 2025

By Caroline Gillies • June 22, 2025
From 1 July 2025, the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate in Australia will increase to 12%. This means employers will be legally required to contribute at least 12% of an eligible employee's ordinary time earnings to their superannuation fund. This increase is the final step in a legislated rise from 9.5% in 2021 to 12% by 2025, aimed at boosting retirement savings for Australian workers. If you use Xero for payroll, the SG rate should automatically update in the system. However, we recommend you double-check your payroll settings to ensure everything is correct. If you’re unsure or need assistance, please contact your bookkeeper or get in touch with us at: Clear Vision Accountancy Group (07) 4688 2500 We’re here to help you stay compliant and avoid any costly errors.
