Even if you think the worst is over in your neck of the woods, business cycles are exactly that, so eventually the pendulum will swing in the reverse direction. What lessons can we carry forward so we're better prepared to proactively cushion the blow next time?
I recently received a message from a marketing coordinator from an organization called Nurtur. My first thought was, "How did these people get my e-mail address?" But after looking a little closer, I realized this wasn't just for any ordinary organization.
There seems to be more blogs out there than we can keep track of -- maybe this one included -- but I recently learned of a new Web site that not only promotes blogs, but has radio shows, blog carnivals, events and a conference ... all intended for women interested in bettering policies for women, families and society.
Two different employees at two different times for two different reasons gave us much-appreciated, personalized customer service. And in both instances, they asked that we not commend them to their management because they said they feared getting into trouble.
This is just about the busiest and craziest time of year for most everyone and I am clearly no exception. It’s enough to get myself and my two kids going in the morning , make it through the day with work, shopping, errands, doctor appointments, etc., let alone deal with the holidays.
This is the time of year many organizations have planned their holiday parties, but more recently some organizations are taking different steps to take the diversity of their staff into consideration.
It turns out that demerits aren't just for 12-year-olds.
