The Process of Selling Arizona Real Estate
The first step when selling your home in Arizona is to contact a knowledgeable Realtor to help you get your home on the market. It is important to choose a Realtor with experience, aggressiveness, ambition, and willingness to spend time on your best interests.Once you have found an agent, your second step is to meet with the agent at your home, or at a place most convenient for the person selling their home. In Arizona, there is an average of about 30 pages of paper work, depending on the broker, that needs to be filled out and signed by the seller If you have a good agent, most of the paperwork will be already completed when you first meet your Realtor. However, some information must be filled out by the seller.After all the paperwork has been signed by the seller, which usually takes about an hour, the Realtor should take pictures of the home for marketing purposes which is the third step. It is important to take pictures of the nicest parts of the home because these pictures will be featured in several marketing programs.After the Realtor leaves your home with the signed paperwork, and pictures of the home, the fourth step is to insert the information that the seller signed and pict

Harassment prevention training specialists – whether internal or external - should be able to offer: legally accurate and up-to-date analysis as well as practical and realistic programming; lively, interactive presentations; appropriate educational techniques; and a variety of formats, follow-up and curriculum options. One thing is clear; educational research indicates that adult learners learn better with

Reach vs. Frequency: Touch 100 Once or 25 Four Times?
Reach and frequency are terms generally used when planning advertising campaigns. However, the concept of reach and frequency applies to any promotional activity you undertake: direct mail, direct selling, and even networking.Reach is the number of people you touch with your marketing message or the number of people that are exposed to your message. Frequency is the number of times you touch each person with your message. In a world of unlimited resources you would obviously maximize both reach and frequency. However, since most of us live in the world of limited resources we must often make decisions to sacrifice reach for frequency or vice versa.For example, an air conditioning repair service who has decided to do a direct mail piece has to decide whether to mail the entire Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex once or to mail a quarter of the Metroplex four times. An attorney who receives many of her clients through networking may have to decide whether to attend one weekly networking meeting or four different monthly meetings.When faced with decisions of reach vs. frequency remember this rule of thumb:Reach without Frequency = Wasted MoneyMarketing is the process of building a

Headache #1: An employer shipped out copies of an expensive video program to dozens of distant managers without providing HR staff to either answer questions or ensure that employees were actually following and learning from the programs. Many of the managers turned on the videos in break rooms and left them running while employees came and went.

Headache #2: During face-to-face anti-harassment training given by a lower-level supervisor, he let it be known that he had no use for the training and was just going through the motions.

Regardless of whether or not you comply with any mandated sexual harassment training laws, jurors are increasingly unwilling to accept a "check the box" approach to harassment prevention training; they want to see training that is interactive, memorable, supported by senior management, and delivered by a credible, well-trained presenter. Given that an ineffective training program will provide little or no protection in the event of a lawsuit, let's take a look at the essential components of an effective training program and identify some of the most common pitfalls.

Effort May Count - But Not Much

Harassment prevention is not an easy subject to teach. One reason many training programs are of such poor quality is that a real mastery of the subject requires a high level of legal understanding coupled with the practical concepts understood by those who have a firm grasp of the day-to-day realities of the workplace. Many training programs fail to integrate the two disciplines and thus fall short in one respect or the other.

Another major reason is that, up until now, most employers have viewed anti-harassment training as something you show up and provide information about, then let them "learn" by doing. Employers, however, cannot afford to let supervisors “wing it” when it comes to learning how to recognize, refrain from, or properly handle sexual harassment. Supervisors and managers not only have to master complicated concepts in advance, but must also practice proper techniques for effective prevention and complaint handling. That requires time, attention, and education, not just training.

Who Should Train

As the quality of compliance training has increasingly become grist for the plaintiff attorney’s mill, the selection of an outstanding training provider a critical business issue. The advantages of in-house HR or training personnel include cost and the fact that such staff is knowledgeable about the particular workplace, the employees being trained, and the particular business or industry.

On the other hand, harassment prevention is a topic in which knowledge is necessary but not sufficient as some of the most challenging components for instructors is anticipating and responding to the challenging questions and negative attitudes of course attendees. Additionally, because of the natural resistance many employees and managers initially feel towards this subject matter, they are more likely to question the “agendas” of in-house trainers, no matter how neutral or objective they may strive to be.

Mobile Pressure Washing and City Contracts
Many mobile pressure-washing companies turn to government contacts to make money. It is very easy to acquire such municipal contracts for cleaning, as the government needs some cleaning up. The cities generally have a fiscal year starting in June, so you want to check on the available contracts around the end of March to see what is coming up, which departments will have budget monies available and also go and visit the local department heads to see what is needed. Believe me even local cities waste money and you may as well get some. If this bothers you, then make the money and donate some to a candidate who promises to trim some of the fat next year.Once you get city contracts you are more likely to get county contracts as all the different department heads talk with each other and often the procurement people at the county are on first name basis with the city purchasing departments. Also, it is easy to get school district contracts, county government contracts, park district contracts, law enforcement contracts and car dealership contracts when you can drop the city name as a reference.Police cars and trash trucks are great fleet accounts.

There are now more than 100,000 licensed child-care centers and 250,000 licensed family day care homes across the United States.An overall increase in professionalism has helped to enhance the reputation of the child care and day care field. Only 20-30 years ago, child care was a cottage industry operating out of remodeled houses, granny flats or small business shop fronts. Early centers were essentially baby-sitting facilities. Today's day care centers, frequently part of regional or national chains, are larger and more professionally run. Because parents want their children to get educational services, many centers require that their caregivers have early childhood education degrees. The day care industry is reg

Training Mistakes: When the Treatment is as Bad as the Disease

Mishandled training not only may fail to insulate an employer from harassment claims and punitive damages awards, but also can create its own legal problems. Accordingly, employers should seek to create training sessions that are "jury worthy" in tone and language by avoiding the following traps:

Asks the learner to make legal conclusions: Some harassment prevention training programs present scenarios and then ask the participant "Is this harassment?" The learning points that such a question is trying to cover can be communicated just as effectively without making a legal conclusion. In addition, questions that ask for legal conclusions are problematic in that they can be used as evidence against the company in the event of a future lawsuit if a manager or employee engages in behavior that was defined as "harassment" in a previous training class. Essentially, the company's hands may be tied because of evidence it created against itself. See Cadena v. Pacesetter Corp., 224 F.3d 1203 (10thCir. 2000).

Increases Liability by "Setting the Bar Too High": For example, in workplace harassment training, a program may state that any discussion of personal relationships in the workplace is inappropriate. While this approach is well-intended, it can actually be damaging to the organization for the following reasons: 1) If the program "concludes" that such behavior is unacceptable, then it has made a legal conclusion that could be used against the organization in the event of a future lawsuit, and 2) An overly "sanitized" message may also spark an unwillingness on behalf of the learner to take the content in the program seriously.

Focuses only on sexual harassment: The US Supreme Court and the EEOC have made clear that a harassment prevention program should address all of the "protected categories." See Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Enforcement Guidance: Vicarious Employer Liability for Unlawful Harassment by Supervisors (6/18/99); See also Burlington Indus., Inc. v. Ellerth, 188 S. Ct. 2257 (1998) and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 118 S. Ct. 2275 (1998). To be effective, a workplace harassment prevention training program should address harassment related to gender, race, national origin, color, disability, age and religion as well as other "protected categories" under state law, such as sexual orientation.

Fails to Provide Appropriate Content for Appropriate Groups: One of the greatest challenges in creating an employment law training program is ensuring that the content communicates the correct information, while not encouraging employees to bring lawsuits. Employees primarily require information about the employers' commitment to a
