Part I—Acknowledge that workplace violence will happenThe 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 disruptionsMany 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, worke

The stresses of long working days are getting to Australian employees, with 25% saying they would like a plug-and-play room at work in order to partake in a bit of escapism during the work-day, A further 25% say they would like to see the introduction of a meditation room in the office in order to bring a bit of peace and balance back to their life. (1731 respondents to a survey by Australian human resources recruitment firm, Talent2).I’m all for anything that eases workplace stress and makes life at work more enjoyable. It’s also good to see the emphasis on achieving peace of mind to relieve stress, instead of the usual focus on physical activity, important though that is.However, putting recreation facilities into the workplace to help manage the stress of long working hours is at best a band-aid measure and,
Remember my little buddy, the soon-to-be college graduate? I wrote his r?sum?. After a couple of interviews without offers, he called me, whining and begging, for me to rewrite his r?sum?. I frankly told him that if he was getting interviews then the paperwork was just fine. It was his interviewing that failed him.

Friends and family can either be your best asset or your worst enemy. Those same people who nurtured you when you were young and supported you in your endeavors may not be the best people to take your business advice from. Simply looking at the average citizen who is heavy in debt, fearful of their jobs and watch more television than they do in other activities should give you some idea about whether or not these close friends and family will be a help or hindrance to you.Friends and family have a great influence on our lives. Our memories of them are filled with good and bad times. Most importantly, they are seen as people who have a general interest in how well or poor we are doing. To earn a good wage, to graduate from college, your first career, your last sporting events have been wonderful experiences for these p

Have you ever wondered why the people in your team don’t seem as motivated as you do? Or why some people do their jobs with enthusiasm and vigor, and others barely get through the day without taking the frown off their faces?You are not alone. The topic of human motivation has been studied for hundreds of years. So it’s a topic we know a lot about. Unfortunately it’s not often taught to managers as part of their training.There are things you can do to influence how much energy people are willing to put into their jobs.

You may not quite know it, but the limited liability corporation (others also call it a limited liability company) has become the most popular form for organizing business and investment activities. There are many benefits to be derived from a limited liability corporation.For instance, if you are a doctor, lawyer or some other professional and you want to protect your assets from malpractice suits and other claims, you can organize a limited liability corporation for that purpose. You can transfer your personal investment portfolio into the limited liability corporation to better protect it from claimants trying to reach the assets.Alternatively you may be a parent wanting to minimize estate tax costs while retaining effective control over your family business and investments.

When you decide if your employer is a good fit, you may want to look deeper than the company name, you may want to "investigate the boss!"The importance of a good fit in your career is an understatement. As you put your career in the hands of your employer, you must know what you are stepping into before you begin. In this series of articles we will explore some of these issues:1. Should you put your career in anyone's hands but your own? 2. Is it better to be a big fish in a little pond or a little fish in a big pond? 3. Private company or public company? 4. Corporate Executive or Entrepreneur?The culture of an organization is many times created from the top down. For you to decide if a position is a good fit, it's important to understand the culture within an organization prior to
So go over the interview in your head. Don't go over it until you can repeat the errors on automatic pilot. Go over it to examine what you think you did wrong, and more so, what you know you did right. The things you did wrong are over and done. You can't undo them; you can't call up the interviewer and ask for another chance; you can't do one thing about them. Forget them because they will nurture negative energy if fed. Forget them because if you focus your attention on them, you will do them again.
Ever notice that the things you focus your attention on happen even when they are exactly what you don't want to happen? It's kind of like calling out an old lover's name when passionate with a current lover. It's something you n
