Actual for You - Preparation: Your Company's Best Defense in Case of Catastrophe
Police Auctions Information: No, a police auction is not where you go to buy a policeman. Most people do not realize that police agencies, including local police departments, county sheriff departments, as well as state and federal law enforcement agencies end up with a lot of confiscated, lost, or abandoned property. This property ends up in the agency's possession as the result of arrests, forfeitures, and just plain carelessness on the part of the property owner who sets a camera down in some public place and walks away.Once the agency has accumulated enough property they will hold a police impound auction. The purpose of the police impound auction is two-fold. First, they
Do you remember your parents asking you what you want to be when you grow up? By the time I was in the 9th grade, my mother started asking me that same question until I graduated from high school. At that time I wasn’t 100% sure what career path I would take, but I had several ideas.Your calling is that passion that you have deep inside – the career that defines your purpose in life. Someone once told me if you find a job that you love you’ll never have to work a day in your life. Some of us work in careers for so long that we are numb on the inside and outside. We go from appointment to appointment and our days are so mundane. We hardly get any enjoyment out of what we
What’s that, you say? Your business isn’t located in a city likely to be a target of either natural or manmade disasters. This may well be the case, but this doesn’t take in account that inexplicable chemical spill or train derailment that can happen on your doorstep or public utility failures, such as electrical power outages, brownouts or surges, which can unduly affect the daily operation of your business. Keep in mind, many nature disasters, such as blizzards, tornadoes and earthquakes, can strike with little or no advance warning.
So what’s a business owner to do? Well first, and foremost, you make sure your business has an up-to-date disaster plan. It’s been reported that as many as forty percent of small businesses fail to open their doors again after a major disaster. Many of these businesses were simply unprepared for a disaster; they hadn’t taken the time to prepare a backup plan to better insure the
The dictionary defines power as “control and influence exercised over others”. With positions of management, and leadership, comes power and it seems to sit more comfortably with some than others. It is increasingly recognised that organisations need good leaders if they are to go forward successfully. Their people will feel motivated, empowered and want to contribute. Leaders who are not using their power positively and abusing will act in a way which will be coercive and, in extremes, could be bullying. This latter situation is one which appears to be on the increase and is creating further problems in the workplace such as stress. This article will look at what is “p

I know that there have been people with the title of Project Manager for many years, and there has been a growing body of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques in the area of project management for a long time. Yes, there have always been projects. But never before has it been so important for every person to be able to lead, manage or participate in projects of all sizes.The Quality movement of the 80’s and 90’s taught people everywhere that work is a process – that we can look at our work in this way to make improvements, large and small. The improvement came in part because it got people to think about their work in new ways.Work is still a process, but many job

What potential owners are looking for when reviewing businesses for sale is some assurance that this year’s income can be repeated or improved into the future. A starting point for this is evaluating whether the stated profits are real.A potential owner reviewing the performance of a business over several years may be presented with a substantial difference between the current years EBIT and previous years.

When you begin to develop your company’s disaster preparedness plan, three areas should be given special consideration: human resources, physical resources, and business continuity. In devising a plan, as a business owner, you must carefully consider how a disaster might impact your employees, customers, the physical workplace itself, along with what procedures and policies would need to be in place to continue to conduct business if that disaster forces you to temporarily relocate to another site.
All Disaster Plans Should Consider the Following:
