Employment with Your Ex-Employer - Acceptable or Not?
On Friday night, as I am sitting in my study room, a thought just crossed my mind…is it right to accept a job opportunity with your ex-employer? I know some of you might say, “No, one should not” and many of you might say, “Yes, One should”. Lets analyze, why people change their jobs.

The use of cubicles by forty million Americans, about sixty percent of the workforce of America, clearly establishes the significance of cubicles in the corporate world.

Growth of a business requires people to work on and not simply in the business. It is a very small amount of directors that actually understand what they are meant to do when they are a director.

They must understand their duties and responsibilities for the business to be effective There is a school of thought that believes the business should run the directors and not the other way round.

An effective business requires people working in the business not just on it. The majority of small businesses do not work - plain and simple. Over eighty percent of small businesses fail within the first three years.

Most small businesses are run by owner-managers who bear all the hallmarks of victims. They will complain about overheads, staff, etc. and their businesses will never achieve their potential because they are always working in the business and not on it. The key to avoiding this state of affairs is the recognition that a business needs to be run and managed –things need to be planned and designed, they just don’t happen. It is essential for people to spend more time working on the business and not in the business. This is the magic formula for enabling you to run the business and not have the business run you.

The advice was flattering, and indeed it seems that some of what is said here is by all accounts of interest to a broad spectrum of readers, but more interesting still is the process by which Digg aims to achieve objectives of newsworth

Salary & Rewards To Maximise Employee Retention
Many people consider poor salaries and rewards to be THE reason why people leave an employer. However, extensive research into why people leave jobs shows this not to be the case. There are a number of differing factors that explain why someone chooses to move on.But what is clear is that a team member’s dissatisfaction with pay is very often the catalyst for them to start looking.
