An Unexpected Benefit
Whenever my company or coworkers engaged in a discussion about compensation and benefits, the talk generally turned to pay rates for specific jobs, raises, or the complexity of various health care plans. Compensation and benefits issues were raised around open enrollment or salary and performance review periods, and pretty much ignored during the rest of the year.

Providing feedback to staff is always tough, but if it's "constructive," you not only get the message across, but also build a more cohesive and capable team as a result.During a "Managing Performance" session recently we covered what it takes to give praise and also constructive feedback.Sometimes we feel uncomfortable when we have to pull employees up - but this need not be the case if we do it in the right manner.Hence this tip!Do you remember when your parents told you to eat your veg because they

Unless you have become extremely popular in your personal or business name, you likely need all of the marketing and promotion you can get. Now, you may say, of course, I'm aware of this, but who has the money? This a good and fair question. It may surprise you, though, when I say, you don't need money for some of the most valuable marketing available -- radio advertising.If you aren't the kind of person who listens to talk radio, the next time you're taking a drive, tune in to one of your local talk shows and listen for awhi
Last year, I was asked to be part of a focus group on benefits. There was a particular benefit that the company was considering adding to our package, and feedback from the rank and file was requested. The benefit was described as "Employee Back-up Care". I had not heard of it, and neither had most of my coworkers.

It seemed to be a win-win situation: employees received peace of mind and quality care for their dependence, and the company avoided the lost workdays and low productivity resulting from employees worrying about their charges left at home or the unavoidable distraction that occurs when they are brought a long to work.

Basically, it is simple. The company selects an agency to partner with in providing the service. The agency is responsible for prescreening and preparing a database of qualified caregivers. The employee is free to call upon the agency for help whenever needed. Usual situations included mild illness,
