This month’s Book Club read is Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, the perfect read to tackle this weekend!

One quote in particular really stood out to us:
“Hard work is critical, a good team is essential, brains and determination are invaluable, but luck may decide the outcome.”

You can’t control every outcome in business, but you can put yourself in a strong position by working hard, making smart decisions and surrounding yourself with good people.

As a business grows, trying to juggle everything yourself will only get you so far. Knowing what to delegate and having the right support around you, whether locally or offshore, can create more capacity to focus on where you add the most value.

We're shining the spotlight on the Royal Ravens.

Unlike our other Squads, the Royal Ravens are made up entirely of people from our internal support teams, including Operations, Success, Recruitment, Facilities, HR, and IT. It's a unique mix of people who bring different skills, experiences, and perspectives to the table.

When we asked Royal Ravens member Shane what makes the Squad unique, she said:

"Unlike the other Team Leader Squads, which are made up of Team Leaders and their team members, our Squad is made up of people from different internal teams. I think that's what makes us unique. We bring different strengths together as one Squad."

We love that every Squad has its own personality, and the Royal Ravens are a great example of how bringing together different perspectives can create an even stronger team.

Bacolod is getting ready for one of its most colourful celebrations of the year... MassKara Festival! 🎭

If you haven't heard of MassKara before, it's one of the Philippines' most colourful celebrations and has been part of Bacolod's story since 1980. Born during a difficult period for the city, the festival became a symbol of resilience and optimism, with its famous smiling masks reflecting Bacolod's reputation as the City of Smiles.

Throughout October, the city comes alive with colourful costumes, street dancing, music and community celebrations. This year's theme is “Share the Smile. Celebrate Gugma”, with gugma meaning love.

With our Philippines office based right here in Bacolod, it's a special time of year for our team and a great opportunity to share a little of the culture of the city they call home.

Happy International Podcast Day! 🎙️

What started as a way to share more of the conversations happening behind the scenes at Affordable Staff has grown into plenty of interesting discussions about the challenges businesses are navigating right now.

There have been plenty of stories, different perspectives and lots of practical insights drawn from what we're seeing and experiencing every day.

When was the last time you completely switched off from your business?

For almost one-third of Australian small business owners, the answer is never.

In Episode 18 of The Affordable Staff Podcast, David Judge and Lisa Grey bring the conversation back to people, exploring business owner burnout, workplace loneliness and why employees really choose to leave.

From creating more capacity for business owners to building workplaces where people feel connected, supported and valued, this episode looks at the people challenges that can easily get overlooked while you're focused on growing a business.

One of the biggest misconceptions about outsourcing is that you'll lose control.

In reality, it's often the opposite.

With clear expectations, good communication and the right processes in place, you know who's responsible for what and can easily keep track of what's getting done.

Outsourcing isn't about stepping away from your business or losing control. It's about having the right people and processes around you so you don't have to juggle everything yourself.

The ICCE Sports League is well underway, and our team has been giving it their all!

Bringing together BPO and commercial businesses from across Bacolod, the league gives teams the chance to compete across a range of sports and e-games. A huge congratulations to our Basketball team, who are currently sitting at 2 wins and 0 losses! A big shoutout as well to our Pickleball and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang players, who have proudly represented Affordable Staff throughout Season 20.

It’s been great seeing everyone get involved, cheer each other on and bring so much energy to the season. There’s still plenty more to come, so good luck to everyone competing in the weeks ahead!

This month, we're shining the spotlight on the Fiery Ducks.

At Affordable Staff, every team member belongs to a Squad, bringing people together from across the business to build connections, support one another, and have a bit of fun along the way.

When we asked Fiery Ducks member Justin what makes the Squad unique, he said:
"I think our squad is quite low-key and very subtle. Despite that, they're some of the most talented and passionate people I know. Our uniqueness isn't about being the smartest or the loudest. It's about bringing our strengths to the table and making everyone around us a little stronger because of it. I'm really proud of the Ducks."

We love that perspective. Every Squad has its own personality, and the Fiery Ducks are a great reminder that making an impact isn't always about being the loudest in the room.

Looking for your next read? This month's Book Club pick is Radical Candor by Kim Scott.

One quote that really stood out to us was:

“It’s not mean, it’s clear.”

It ties in perfectly with one of our own company values, Candor: Speak plain and speak true. Clear communication isn't about being harsh. It's about being open, setting clear expectations and giving people the information they need to do their best work.

It’s also one of the reasons books like this make for such great Book Club discussions, giving our team the chance to share different perspectives and think about how the ideas apply to the way we work every day.
