These included tools to host more effective team meetings and one-on-one discussions with individual members. In this final week of the series, we share the journey of one ProVision member who identified the need for - and successfully implemented - a team communications plan. We also provide tips for hosting more meaningful meetings, a learning module on communicating as a manager and, finally, a guide to implementing and measuring the success of your team communication plan. Please contact your Business Coach if you need support with any of the topics discussed below. Communicating as a Manager (ProLearn- Welcome to Management 11) HERE What’s next week? Next week, we'll introduce 'team wellness', the next topic in our Business Improvement Series. A key part of this journey will be exploring the importance of a wellness plan and the steps to implementing one at your practice. FINANCE ADVICEGet ready for the launch of Director IDAs we begin the potentially long COVID-19 recovery, the Federal Government is making some crucial changes to minimise fraud and protect the privacy and security of Australian directors. Part of this process has been the introduction of Director Identification Numbers (DIN) – a unique identifier that a director will keep indefinitely. This initiative has been designed to help stamp out illegal phoenixing and other fraudulent activity, enabling the government to verify and track individual directors' corporate histories accurately. It is critical to understand your new obligations as a director. Failure to apply for a DIN within the required time frame will leave you open to criminal and civil penalties. If you are a director or support your organisation's directors, you must get across the requirements and prepare yourself for what's to come. Applications open on the 1 November 2021, so get cracking! For more information on who needs to apply CLICK HERE Click below for more information on Director ID from our auditors, Morrows.
