5 Easy Ways to Make Your International Registrants Feel Welcome
Unless you're escaping winter weather or otherwise simply escaping, holiday travel isn't generally a topic of choice. Images of crowded airports, long lines, security searches, screaming children, exasperated parents and bad food quickly come to mind. And really, unless you're soaring on good spirits because you're heading off on your Caribbean vacation, most travel is the same. Being as fun as it is, all of the little things that you can do to make attending your event easier are going to be appreciated by your International participants.A good way to make an early impression on International participants is to design an online registration form that includes a few special considerations.International addresses - If registrants can't select their country from a drop-down menu, it doesn't create a very welcoming impression. Include a complete country list if any International registrations are expected. For Province and State, an option to select "Outside U.S. and Canada" is generally the best option as a comprehensive list would be overwhelming and an International address may not include such a designation.It's a great exercise in frustration to know that you are entering the correct information, only to find that the system won't accept it. Be sure the system will accept different formats for postal code and phone number. If i

Part I—Acknowledge that workplace violence will happen

The workplace has become a dangerous place. Just ask staff and faculty at Virginia Tech University or the people at NASA. People prone to committing violent acts are in fact mentally unstable, and they work alongside us every day. Organizations of all kinds must develop policies and contingency plans to deal with the potentialities of workplace violence.

Unbalanced people cause disruptions

Many Americans are mentally ill. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older—close to 60 million people—suffer from an identifiable mental disorder. The killer at Virginia Tech clearly fell under this category, and while mass murder at work or elsewhere remains a rare event, worker-against-worker violence and on-the-job homicide happens all too often. No matter who studies the matter, the numbers are gloomy. Statistics from the Occupational Health & Safety Association claim that 2 million Americans are victims of workplace violence each year. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, each year about 1.7 million workers in the United States are injured during workplace, and, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2005 Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), the years 1992 through 2004 saw an average of 807 workplace homicides annually. While the most recent of these years, according to the CFOI, have seen a modest drop in incidents in the United States, the problem is growing worldwide,

What is Most-Management
I am not interested in a theory of management. I am interested in the practice of management. I am interested in having managers fulfill their purpose. And their purpose is that the jobs get done more and more effectively with them there than without them there.That needs to begin with an honest look at how we are as managers.The Distinction ‘Most-Manager’There is a class of management….equivalent, say, to 2nd and 1st lieutenants. They have no real management authority. They often cannot even make recommendations.They may have supervisors report to them (or even very low level managers). They have between 8 and 40 people directly and indirectly below them. They may have their own administrative assistant, though usually the administrative assistant is shared.This is the critical one: They are almost always promoted from the ranks. If not, that is their genealogy. They receive no management training… Or, if they do, it has virtually nothing to do with their jobs. I say this is so for most managers…and so I class this class of management ‘most-management’.Most-managers don’t have MBA’s, don’t know anything about business; have read virtually nothing of management.Promotions are all of the battlefield variety…They learn by imitation of those who learn by imitation of those who…This field promotion strategy perpe

The Time Dimension - Presented Versus 1991 Zip Codes
An important object to keep in mind about ZIP code finder is that they change over time. In some cases these change can be quite amazing, but more frequently they are small and subtle. When a ZIP code changes its definition it does not change its name like a census zone. The ZIP code that was called '63301' in St. Charles County, Mo in 1985 has since been broken into first two and now three ZIP codes. These new codes were not called 63301.01, 63301.02 and 63301.03; they were called 63301, 63303 and 63304. So what is referred to as 63301 today represent about a third of the area that it referred to in 1985.The new code 63303 did not exist 12 years ago and it has already changed its definition so that it now represents about partially of the area it included when it was to begin with created. What this means, of course, is that ZIP codes are really terrible units for doing any kind of time-series analysis unless you have some way of keeping track of all the changes over time. Otherwise, you may wind up concluding that there has been a dramatic downward trend in the population of 63301 since 1980, when in fact just the opposite is true.What the world really needs to deal with ZIP code natural features properly is a large geographic equivalence organizer linking ZIP code finder to other relevant geographies with a time aspect.

A Tale Of Two Companies
Yesterday, Singapore’s exchange market was rife with speculation about a possible merger of the two land transport giants: ComfortDelGro and SMRT. As a result, their share prices skyrocketed between 5.9% and 6.6% at closing.ComfortDelGro is the “world’s second largest public listed land transport company with a fleet of more than 40,000 vehicles”. It is the parent company for Comfort and SBS Transit which are the market leaders in taxi and bus industry in Singapore respectively. SMRT, the market leader for train services, is a multi-modal public transport company offering train, bus and taxi services, as well as expertise in consultancy and project management in railway systems. Both companies have advertising arms.In a newspaper report by The Straits Times (attached below), it was reported that ComfortDelGro has submitted a position paper to the Ministry of Transport, giving their two-cent worth on how the public transport industry should be structured. Two specific suggestions are given: to merge with rival SMRT to create one big giant transport company, or to have two separate companies with different areas of expertise – one running buses while another operating trains. (Note: It should be quite obvious that SBS Transit will be the natural bus company and SMRT will be the train company).It is not hard to fathom why ComfortDelGro is keen to pu

Guidelines restore order and prevent violence

Officials cannot control the behavior of others, but they can incorporate guidelines to follow. They just need help. Faced with a range of threats, such as disgruntled employees, domestic violence, stalkers, and, of course, robberies, rapes, and assaults, American businesses and organizations are hiring consultants in record numbers to design programs that train employees and employers in how to predict and prevent violence on the job. By developing official policies that include safety procedures, hiring and firing practices, threat management, crisis intervention and supervisory training to address the “red flags,” the organization and security consultant can join forces to reduce the risk of violence.

Understanding human behavior is a key ingredient in countering this violence, and management must learn this skill, according to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, "Bosses Have to Learn How to Confront Troubled Employees." The same article points to major corporations that have implemented programs that train managers in how to spot troubled, potentially violent
