Article Check - Setting Clearer Performance Expectations
When people think of writing, they invariably think of story writing or creative writing. Curriculum Vitae (CV) (or resume) writing is an entirely different discipline to creative writing although the rules you learn through creative writing regarding grammar, spelling and punctuation are extremely important in CV writing, even if the creative aspect is not required.Since your CV is a shop window for you and is more often than not the first and only impression that you will give a recruiting employer, it is imperative that you ensure it is written to the highest standard you can manage.There are many websites out there offering free advice that can easily be applied to C
It is certainly no secret that stress is a fact of daily life ad is especially true in the small business workplace. And what makes it worse is most small business owners must face the challenges alone or with little or no support systems. A strategic thinking small business owner knows that he or she must be very aware of their own level of stress, as well as the stress levels of their employees because of the potential negative impacts.How extensive is this stress in the small business workplace? CareerBuilder.com found in a 2006 study of 2,500 American workers that 77% of the workers felt burned out at their jobs. The National Safety Council estimates that US companies lo
Stating this phrase guarantees some reaction for anyone who has ever had one, or had to give one as a supervisor or manager. In my experience in working with organizations, that reaction is seldom positive.
The concept behind the performance review or evaluation is a good one. It is a chance for someone to discuss their accomplishments, get feedback on their progress, and build a plan for continuous improvement. The idea makes sense, which is why every organization I’ve worked with has these meetings between a supervisor an
In order to make sure that you business is running smoothly, you have to keep good financial records. This is one of the issues with which businesses are most concerned because they want to make sure that they are turning a profit and at the same time paying the appropriate taxes to the government. When a business files an income tax return, it has to have all its I's dotted and t's crossed if it doesn't want to undergo a tax audit. That is why all income and expenses have to be carefully documented and all receipts kept.Any income is liable to taxation, even if you do not have any overhead. A simple Internet business making money from Google ads will receive a T4 slip at the en

Driving a turbo-powered sports car is an exciting experience. Step on the gas pedal zero to sixty in a few seconds. Maneuvering through traffic.... downshift, accelerate past others, upshift....gone. Curves coming up?....downshift...corner..... accelerate. You notice the responsiveness of this finely engineered product. You expect this; this precision machine was designed for this, and it is performing to spec.Wouldn't it be great if you could do this with your business? That is...quickly respond to market demand by accelerating new product introduction, . . . .or quickly change your product mix,... ...or maneuver orders through the organization quickly,...or move parts a

Companies thrive on promotion. Most companies have their people on staff whose soul purpose is to crate promotions and promotional rewards.These promotional rewards are similar to customer incentives in that they are trying to sell products to both new and loyal customer. But unlike some incentive programs which can sometimes take weeks, months, and in some cases even years to implement promotional incentives are designed to give a product an immediate boost in sales.Grocery stores are probably the best example of an ongoing promotional incentive program. On Saturday’s they open their doors to food distributors who haul in tables, chairs, and boxes of toothpicks. These fo
“Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! Am I stupid?” excitedly requested Christopher, nearly out of breath from the long run into the kitchen. She knew he had been playing with neighborhood children under a mighty pine tree in the side yard.Saddened by the question and realizing he had just been tormented by the others, she tenderly gave him a hug and lovingly told him, “No, Christopher, you are not stupid.”“Oh,” replied Christopher, with obvious disappointment in his tone.Certainly you must be wondering why these loving words of motherhood would be met with such sadness. You see what had really happened was that as the children were teasing him about his autism they were really
Unfortunately, while the idea is sound, far too often, in execution, these meetings are ineffective at best, and counter-productive at worst. While there are many reasons why this is true, one of those reasons is that supervisors don’t know how to do one of the most critical parts of this event effectively – setting clear performance expectations.
Without clear expectations from the previous year, the discussion becomes too subj
