Hampshire PA Hunt Update

I thought I’d done all the hard work in finding a suitable candidate but it seems the work is just beginning. Well, at least, for our Facilities and IT people rather than me!

Our new PA has signed up and there is a mass of activity afoot, trying to ensure that her home office is set up with everything she needs. Broadband has been installed as well as extra phone lines and next week all the files and furniture will be delivered. The poor woman must feel like she’s been invaded but she seems to be happy enough.

The flexible hours system will be put to the test with this role and I’m keen to see how it works out. Holiday calculations etc seem to have been made easier by us agreeing a minimum number of hours over the year although we’ll have to see how we determine exactly what constitutes a day’s holiday which I guess might be the average number of hours worked per day.

I’ll be going down to visit our new recruit to do an induction in the next couple of weeks and may be I’ll be able to persuade her to write a blog too about the role and her experiences.
