The Future at Eames: Launching Eames Group

We’re excited to share the launch of Eames Group. The launch of Eames Group brings our three specialist brands, Eames Consulting, Eames Partnership and ECMS, under one roof. Coupled with a centrally aligned Corporate Services function, Eames Group empowers the brands within the group to realise opportunity in our ‘Future at Eames’ plan. Eames Group is united in one common purpose: to make opportunities happen. Across our three non-competing businesses, we work in partnership with our clients and candidates to empower them to shape their futures. We do this not with a short-term view but by developing long-term strategic relationships. Through talent solutions in recruitment, executive search, market intelligence and management consultancy, we move our clients forward with deep knowledge of their business and our refined expertise. Ruth Foster, Chief People Officer, shared: “We started the Future at Eames project by exploring our purpose and values, in line with our 3-year strategy for the wider business. Throughout the project, it became apparent that we needed to look at the brand structure within Eames, and we needed to align our visual identity with who we are and where we’re going. “Our three brands need to be unified by a stronger, more distinctive identity to achieve this. Equally, we need a platform to share core centralised messages such as D&I, Health & Wellbeing and CSR. "Launching Eames Group is the solution to both those objectives, and also gives us one channel for attracting talent to the Group.” Of the branch launch, Head of Marketing Sarah Roebuck shared: “There are many advantages to closer collaboration across the Group, and a stronger, more unified brand identity will help us maximise those opportunities. “As we seek to grow and expand into new markets like New York and Europe, we can do so with a more contemporary, progressive brand identity which better reflects who we are and how we work. “Equally, a centralised platform for talent attraction and engagement will better serve us in communicating the core pillar of our culture and employer brand. Exciting times for Team Eames!” Eames CEO and Founder Matthew Eames shared: “I remember very clearly the day I signed the lease on our first office in Hammersmith. Starting the business with an empty database but a very clear vision of how I felt we could add value to the markets we serve. “Through overseas expansion, the launch of new brands, and working with many talented, driven and passionate colleagues, that vision still remains very true. We make opportunity happen. “The launch of Eames Group is a bittersweet moment for me – it's a chance to be reflective of how far we’ve come, but also an opportunity to look forward to the future. The road ahead is exciting, but it’s also a challenging one, with our sector evolving faster than it ever has done. “We have a very clear plan for the future. But this growth can only be realised through our people. We’re actively hiring across all offices. If you’re the kind of person who gets fired up by creating opportunities – rather than waiting for them to come to you – you’ll be rewarded at Eames.” Following the launch of Eames Group, a brand refresh will be rolled out across Eames Consulting, Eames Partnership and ECMS to further unify our brand identity.

Considering that overdue job change?

It is the same nagging thought at the back of your mind, but it has never been the right time. Or is there really such a thing as the right time? Studies in the last few years have shown that almost half of the Singapore working population have been unhappy at work, stemming from the lack of recognition and challenge being the top two factors amongst many others. Ideally, we would have opportunities for a job change each time we feel dissatisfied but personal circumstances may stand in the way. When should one then decide to take the plunge? 1. You feel unmotivated It was your dream job but now you find yourself dreading Mondays and dragging yourself to work, questioning if this is what you will be doing for the foreseeable future. It has developed into this comfortable routine and you no longer feel challenged. Instead, you start losing interest in what you do. Understandably, people grow and circumstances change. Most of us try to seek self-improvement in various ways. You might also have tried voicing it out to your managers but for certain reasons which could be beyond them, it has been status quo and there is no end in sight. 2. You do not feel valued You have put in long hours and made sacrifices at the expense of your family time or personal well-being. To validate this, you might have asked for a promotion, a salary increment or some form of recognition. While one can try to understand how certain organizations are more bureaucratic when it comes to promotions and salary adjustments, clarity should be sought in terms of timelines beyond verbal promises. The typical workday should also be a good indication of how your employer and manager value you – do they express gratitude for your work and show interest in helping you and developing your career? Or are you constantly under the brunt of criticism? Whether it is the overall company culture or something specific to your superiors, it is definitely something that is worth evaluating. 3. Your job is affecting your mental health According to recent surveys, more than 90% of Singaporeans are facing work-related stress. The pandemic could have contributed to this. It might be the never-ending to-do list coupled with a manager’s expectations to deliver within an unrealistic timeline, or the unnecessary criticisms that have spiralled into personal attacks that have led to self-doubt and uncertainty. Poor mental health can be deduced from issues such as a lack of energy, difficulty in sleeping or anxiety attacks, just to name a few. This is not uncommon and has to be acknowledged and addressed regardless of the situation. If you identify with the above, could it be time for a new challenge? It is important to have a good sense of the recruitment market and consistent changes such as title and salary benchmarking as well as current movements in the sector.
