This IDC MarketScape report assesses the market for cloudbased managed print services as well as other cloud-based contractual print service models for both enterprise and SMB. According to the report: “Lexmark is in a strong position to deliver on the promise of the cloud as organisations look to leverage technology to improve print-related business outcomes and reduce on-premises infrastructure. Those elements that make Lexmark a leader in the MPS space, such as investments in IoT printing hardware, security expertise, and a global service delivery platform, all play an important role in the firm’s ability to lead the markets’ transition to print as a service.” www.lexmark.co.uk Konica Minolta named among Top 100 Global Innovators Clarivate Plc, a UK-based global information service company, has named Konica Minolta among the Top 100 Global Innovators 2022. To create this list, Clarivate uses its own intellectual property and patent data to identify companies and organisations that have met the qualifying criteria of having filed 500 or more patent applications since 2000 and been granted 100 or more patents during the past five years. It then evaluates the identified candidates in terms of four factors – ‘Influence’, ‘Success’, ‘Globalisation’ and ‘Technical Distinctiveness’. Starting from the selection of Top 100 Innovators 2022, Clarivate places greater importance than before on the value of individual inventions in the process of assessing innovativeness. www.konicaminolta.co.uk Talent Attraction in the age of unlimited opportunities Recruiting staff can often be one of the biggest challenges companies face. We’ve seen a big shift in recruitment recently, and one of the common themes is the demand for a better work life balance. Employees are also taking into consideration the wider benefits package and work environment of a prospective employer to assess whether it will be a good fit overall, rather than simply looking at whether the salary increase is enough. Have you considered how appealing the package you offer is to candidates? More and more we are having conversations around working hours and holiday entitlement. Matching the statutory holiday entitlement with the additional bank holidays does not seem to be enough of a pull for candidates to leave their existing employer, where they may have built up additional days on top of an already improved package. An extra 2, 3 or 5 days can go a long way to improving the value of your benefits package to employees. 20 Days is the legal minimum, not a perk! Working hours have also come up recently – with 40-hour work weeks less attractive than the 37.5-hours most companies favour, people also are questioning whether there is flexibility within the normal ‘9 to 5’, that’s not to say people aren’t working as hard. It’s more a flexible approach to work hours could be more beneficial in terms of productivity of your staff. We have found candidates who are early birds requesting 7am/8am starts to help them fit around childcare and other commitments – but some people just function better with earlier starts. Is this something that could suit your business? Small changes like this can make all the difference to employee well-being and help you secure staff that are invested in your business too. Advice is available for recruiting in an ever-changing environment.
