    Putting A Little Work-Life Balance Into Your Career
    You fill up your mug, jump in your car and head onto the dreaded commute of the day. Once you get to work chaos and more chaos surround you. Those half-an-hour breaks really don’t cut it anymore. By the time you get home late into the evening you really don’t have much time for anything but eating and sleeping which seems to keep adding to your waistline like your boss a

    Staff Turnover - A Business Killer
    Finding the right staff is critical, as we discussed in the article "Finding Staff to Complement Your Business". But what about keeping good staff? Is it important? Is it worth the effort to keep the right folks on the job? Let’s look at the four areas that staff turnover affects – in a business of any type. Those areas are: Productivity, Revenue, Customer Satisfa
    Training in its broadest sense is the provision of information to allow someone to carry out an old task better or to learn to perform a new task. Yet training is often seen as an extra cost and therefore affecting the bottom line. When the business environment is difficult it can be one of the first costs to be cut.

    There is no denying that it does cost time and money to train people but it can cost far more when people are untrained. Much more time can be wasted showing people tasks that could have been learnt through some form of instruction.

    I can understand this resistance to providing training in terms of cost. Even in larger companies the risk that people will jump ship after specialised training is always there. What’s more once people leave education they can often become resistant to learning, beyond basic tasks required of them in their work environment. Often it becomes the responsibility of the employers to determine how and when employees get training. A multinational I worked with used to sit down with its employees every year and ask them about their training needs for the following year. More often than not it was a

    Giving out Free Bonuses, your Pathway to Success
    Giving out Free Bonuses, your Pathway to SuccessDon’t you feel good when someone gives you something free for making a purchase? Doesn’t it make you feel great about the product when you get an additional something besides what you actually paid for? Well, most people feel that way as well. This shows what a great way it is to add to your customer satisfaction by

    Small Business Bankruptcy
    When you own a small business and have never owned a business before then it would be understandable if you needed some bankruptcy help. There is nothing to be ashamed of, you may not know which section of bankruptcy to file for and we can help you. One of the first questions to be answered is your business a partnership or a sole proprietorship? If you own a corporation

    Being a Skilled Listener
    Whether you are a corporate executive trying to manage hundreds of employees, a marketing or sales rep trying to land a new client, or even an entry level gofer just struggling to appease a demanding boss, it is almost impossible to succeed without developing effective communication skills. In fact, effective communication skills are fundamental to almost every successfu

    This in part is where the problem lies. Employees can often see no benefit beyond a day out because they are not expected to. As a result it can be easy to fill a one day course, when it’s a day out and you get paid for it. The employer fulfils their obligation and the employee gets training. Unfortunately this can also mean people attending courses unsuited to them, which will never benefit them or their organisation. A large organisation, I know of, had telephonists signing up to financial spreadsheet courses simply because they were free.

    The problem is not with an organisation selecting the wrong training courses, but with the fact that training ends up as one of those things talked about once a year. Either that or it’s an emailed list of courses for people to sign up to. In my own case, over time the company recognised this and became more proactive in trying to identify m
