  • Build Bridges Not Walls - Employee Recognition  By : Trevor Marshall -
    Regular, one-on-one assessments with your staff provide an efficient two-way forum with which to set and review realistic achievement targets, provide feedback on performance, and listen to and consider any problems employees may have. For example, a sales executive may feel that he or she is under performing, when in fact sales targets have been set too high. During the appraisal, these targets could be reviewed and set at more realistic levels. And after the goals have been...

  • How To Ensure Your Employee Incentive Program Pays Off  By : Trevor Marshall -
    Non-cash incentive programs and fringe benefits can have a powerful influence on attitudes, that should in turn improve results.

  • More About Background Check  By : Robert Thatcher -
    Trust is something hard to come by especially if one does not know the person. To make this happen, companies and people do background checks on the individual to avoid being swindled or victimized.

    An example is when people apply for a job. The company has to do a background check to see if that individual is for real or a fraud. Human resource practioners do this by letting the applicant fill up a form.

    This usually has the name of the applicant and other details su...
  • Employee Recognition Awards Create Progress  By : Trevor Marshall -

  • How Do You Afford A Receptionist?  By : Darla Di Grandi-Aguilera -
    My answer. You can't NOT afford a receptionist. I didn't have one for about 5 years so I know how it is.

    That's when I saw the light. I couldn't afford not to have one. I didn't have to worry about how I was going to pay for her because she immediately paid fo...
  • Develop and Maintain Positive Relationships Immediately Using Only Four Ingredients  By : The Master Blog Builder
    I often heard in counseling situations that "He says he loves me, but he never shows it." What this person was actually saying was that she heard it in words but was not convinced by his actions (usually a lack of action). Remember the old adage: "Action speaks louder than words."? It could not be truer here.

    Some people who are too busy with work may sometimes be absent minded about certain things and tend to forget doing some of their important chores.

  • Rehabilitation Of Injured Workers Boosts The Bottom Line  By : Jim Christian -
    To most employers, Workers’ Compensation insurance is a necessary evil. Not only a statutory requirement, it ensures that employees injured in the course of their work are taken care of. It can, however, be very costly, particularly for larger companies where the premium is based, in part, on claims experience.
