Empowering Success: The Ganymede Approach to Team DevelopmentIn conversation with Owen Hughes, Divisional ManagerDive into the insights of Owen Hughes, Divisional Manager at Ganymede, as he reflects on his decade-long journey with the company and explores its approach to team development. From delivering on promises to fostering a supportive culture, Owen's perspective offers valuable insights into Ganymede's ethos and its commitment to empowering success.What made you stay with Ganymede for close to 10 years, and how has the company supported your personal and professional growth?While working at RTC Group (ATA and Ganymede), everything I have been promised has always been delivered upon achieving the targets set out for me. That’s something I’ve always loved about the business – it’s very much "Here are the tools. Here's the support network. Go get it!" and that's how I love to work! Professionally, I’ve progressed on an upward trajectory in role, responsibility, and earnings, which in turn has supported my personal growth immensely.How do you create a supportive and collaborative team culture within your team?The facts are that sales professionals are constantly under pressure to perform at a high level and generate substantial revenue. However, the sales environment can be isolating at times, and this isolation can negatively impact the mental health of individuals. One thing I am extremely passionate about is creating a platform for my colleagues and team members to openly discuss their personal lives, particularly the mental health challenges they may be experiencing. This is incredibly important, as not everyone has a strong support network at home. Therefore, I take proactive steps to provide a safe space for them to share their experiences. After all, a team cannot truly be supportive and collaborative without its members feeling mentally healthy, happy, and genuinely motivated to excel. In what ways do you nurture and advance your team members to enable them to achieve their maximum potential?In addition to achieving Divisional targets, I view my role as being centred on each individual within the team. My aim is to empower them by identifying gaps in their skillset and performance with candidates and clients, and by broadening their perspectives to better approaches in recruitment. I aspire to enable my team members to become the finest recruitment consultants they can be, achieved through coaching them to maintain the highest standards of quality in all aspects of their work. What methods do you use to celebrate and recognise the achievements and milestones of your team members in their development journeys?As a management team at Ganymede, we are continually seeking ways to acknowledge the accomplishments of our team members. Furthermore, we actively encourage individuals to share and celebrate their own efforts, regardless of size, with the rest of the team. Recognising achievements is crucial in the challenging field of recruitment. We celebrate both minor victories and major performances, doing so on a daily, weekly, quarterly, and annual basis. We offer incentives of various sizes and hold regular team catch-ups where everyone has the chance to acknowledge their colleagues' contributions during that period. How do you assess the skills and cultural fit of potential candidates during the hiring process?Our exceptional Talent Manager, Rachael Bailey-Frost, serves as the primary contact for those interested in joining Ganymede. Together, we work seamlessly to attract the talent we believe will propel our business to even greater heights than we've achieved in recent years. When assessing potential recruits, we evaluate their past recruitment performance for experienced candidates, while for trainees, we focus on their core skills, values, and attitude towards learning and hard work.We’re never shy to let people know it’s ok to say, “I want to be in a job where I am in control of my own earnings” and that is something you certainly are, here in the Derby Recruitment team at Ganymede. Finally, what are you looking for in people joining your team? It's widely understood that being hardworking and resilient are essential qualities for a Recruiter, but we seek much more than that in our consultants. We place a premium on a positive attitude towards delivering a high-quality service to clients and candidates above all else. When recruiting individuals, we welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds as long as they possess that intangible spark. However, it's crucial that they not only meet our standards but also elevate our overall performance. Most importantly, we value team players who can seamlessly integrate with our outstanding, high-performing team.We are always keen to speak to talented recruiters and sales professionals, who are looking to take the next step in their career.

Ganymede sign up to Rail Safe Friendly programme at partner level Our ethos of ‘Safety First, Safety Always’ is a core element of all that we do. However, this does not only include those working for us. It extends to all those who utilise the railway in any way, from those who travel by train to children who simply must use a level-crossing to get to school. As such, we have partnered with Rail Safe Friendly to help spread this essential message of safety to as many members of the public as possible, particularly those who are unaware of the dangers that come with being near the track. Rail Safe Friendly provides schools and the rail industry with an opportunity to work together towards a common goal to improve rail safety in all schools across the UK.Through this partnership, we are sponsoring 10 schools local to our regional offices to ensure they receive Network Rail approved safety training and videos at no cost to the schools.Stuart Heaton, Managing Director of Rail Safe Friendly, said: “We are delighted to welcome Ganymede to the Rail Safe Friendly programme. It is through the rail industry working together to promote this vital education programme that we are able to deliver rail safety messages to young people across the country. Ganymede’s support means that we will be able to reach even more children with this critical rail safety awareness in order to prevent injuries and save lives.”Gary Lobue, Head of HSEQ at Ganymede Solutions said: "Education plays a vital role in rail safety. It is our aim to help young people and children engage in safe behaviour around our railways and what an incentive to partner Rail Safe Friendly and join their journey to promote safety in schools throughout Britain."We look forward to building relationships with these schools, also utilising our recruitment expertise to support them with employability advice and opening the minds of students to the careers available in STEM.

Navigating the Tracks: A Year in Rail RecruitmentIn conversation with Leah Richards, Resource CoordinatorEnter the world of railway recruitment with "Navigating the Tracks: A Year in Rail Recruitment," where Leah Richards, Resource Coordinator, shares her insights. From her initial interest in the role, sparked by a recommendation to her seamless integration into the Ganymede team, Leah reflects on her journey through Rail Recruitment.What was it about this opportunity that made you want to join the team?"I heard about the role and immediately recognised that my experience in the rail sector made me a great fit. With my background in administration, coupled with my enjoyment of communicating with others, it presented a great opportunity to leverage my previous knowledge in this new position."How did you find the interview process?"Even though the interview was very formal, I was automatically made to feel very comfortable throughout the whole process from the call process to getting to meet the team I’d be working with, they where all very friendly."How have you found your first 12 months?"At times challenging, yet also exciting, my role as a Resourcer has provided a significant learning curve, granting me a deeper understanding of the rails. I've also developed increased patience and empathy towards operatives and what they go through while working on the rails. Additionally, I've grown more confident, regularly engaging with clients, new acquaintances, teams, and participating in frequent telephone communication, which has pushed me beyond my comfort zone. This has benefited me not only within my work but also outside of it."What is your favourite part of your job?"There are many different things I like about the role, but some that stick out are: I enjoy meeting new people and forming connections, which this role includes plenty of, from creating connections with my colleagues to getting to meet all the operatives. Secondly, there's immense satisfaction in helping operatives secure work and witnessing their success when they land the perfect role for them. Lastly, the job offers continuous learning opportunities, helping me grow both professionally and personally."We are always keen to speak to talented recruiters and sales professionals, who are looking to take the next step in their career.
