Many working families choose a commercial or individual day care center to care for their child during the workday. We've listed important aspects of a daycare center's environment to evaluate when making your choice: Staff to Child Ratio. This is the number of children each staff member is responsible for. Most states regulate the minimum number of staff to child ratio. This will vary based on your state and the ages of the children. An average guideline follows, but check with your state department for what to expect in your area. - An infant room will have one to four or six staff to child ratio - A young toddler room will have a one to six or eight staff to child ratio - For 2s and 3s room...

There are strategies that employers can create to foster an enjoyable workplace. Happy, motivated staff are more inclined to stay with the company. Most organizations spend big dollars to recruit their employees and training them. So what can you do to make sure your employees are happy and motivated to want to stay and grow with the company? For example, the receptionist has one of the most important roles in the company but how often is she or he recognized for their efforts? Greeting your clients and answering the phone is an essential and important role, but many a disgruntled receptionist can scare your clients away. It is essential to always include all staff from the most junior person...

After being knocked out by contender Ray Austin in March in two rounds, Jeremy "The Beast" Bates, a Parkersburg, KY resident, had pretty much thrown in the towel on a boxing career. But little did he know that his name was going from a very long list to the short list, so when he finally got the call, he jumped at the opportunity to become the opponent that four-time heavyweight titlist Evander Holyfield wanted to in order to measure his rapidly declining skill level. The Beast is 21-11-1, but he does have 18 ko's and a reasonably decent right. The problem is that everytime he has stepped up, he has been beaten badly by the likes of Brian Minto, Sedreck Fields, Leo Nolan, Andre Purlette, and Kirk...

Life can throw you a curve ball when you least expect it. One day everything is fine and the next day you find yourself faced with a major injury and the possibility of surgery. Some illnesses are hereditary and can be expected to occur later in life, but many medical situations can have a vast impact on family, friends and of course the patient, especially when they occur unexpectedly. Here are some things to consider and questions to ask yourself, your doctor and others who might possibly become involved with your medical situation: 1. Talk to your employer about how much short term or long term disability you will receive and what percentage of your salary it will cover. 2. Should you get a...

So what are we talking about when we talk about work/life balance? It is certainly not about spending equal amounts of time between our work and our personal lives. Long gone are the days of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of leisure, 8 hours of rest. This depended on women being at home in the role of homemaker. It is no longer relevant - or meaningful - in the world in which we live. It is not necessarily about working less than we are at present either. It is much more about having flexibility around our work, that ability to balance what is important in our work against what is important in our personal lives. What appears to cause stress and difficulties for people is where either their work and/or...

OK. Now I am in the middle of everything. Nothing is complete, but it isn't the idea I have so many open items on my plate, it's the realization I am working for the Internet/myself. I have been on Administrative Leave without pay from my position at work for a month now. Instead of fretting away and worrying about what the future holds, I have decided to accomplish something new. Off I go to make a full adventure into the World Wide Web on my own, well not exactly. I have been in the corporate world for over 30 years, I enjoy work, and I enjoy making money even more than I enjoy work. I started before computers were implemented in business. I know from my experience, there is nothing like...

Extrinsic motivation is when a person is motivated to do something based on external factors, which come in the form of rewards. The offer of money is a particularly common extrinsic motivator. This is opposed to the concept behind intrinsic motivation where a person is moved to do something in order to help others or simply to make himself or herself happy. Sometimes extrinsic motivation can be of the positive kind while other times it can be negative. Positive extrinsic motivation can come by way of incentives, money, discounts, etc. For example many airlines offer discounts as well as air miles and bonuses to convince customers to fly with them instead of their competition. Many workplaces offer...

Law of services.--------Leave to employees.              People who are in service can get leave and in most of the organizations, they earn leave by their duty period.  Having leave is not a right with the employee, but since the leave rules have been framed by the state or by the employer, he is bound to consider the application of the employee and if he founds that his prayer or request in right, leave, normally is not refused.              There are so many types of leave available to the employees.  They are earning casual leave, earned leave, half pay leave, they can be granted hospital leave, they can get maternity leave and even husbands can be granted leave to look...

Finding the right HR payroll software for your size and type of company is imperative if you are running your own payroll. Besides the cost of procurement of the software and the associated support package, you need to take into consideration the cost of training existing staff who will be using the system and the availability of suitably experienced candidates to fill vacant posts as they arise. You should build in contingency for a scenario where the system you purchase proves problematic and the cost of downtime because of this, as well as the cost of time and resources required for initial implementation. There are thousands of companies offering hr payroll software out there - just a quick...

A few months ago Gillian felt lifeless, dead inside and uninterested in anything. Everything was an effort. She just wanted to sleep. She suffered bouts of constipation. She didn't want to meet anyone, prepare food for herself or take care of her dog. She couldn't go to work. Her words came out slow and with long pauses in between. The words were flat, without expression -just like she felt. She couldn't even cry. Nothing touched her and she moved like a robot from her bed to the shower to a chair and back to bed again. She didn't care about anything or anyone. This was not the Gillian she knew or wanted to be. She had always been driven to work hard, please those around her and then earn her rest...

p>Chronic illness. Invisible disability. Whatever you wish to call it, one in three employees now has a medical condition that impacts their productivity at work. Unlike acute illnesses, chronic conditions are unpredictable, invisible and long lasting. I know from experience that this concept is difficult for many people to understand. Here are five misconceptions about chronically ill employees: They are either "sick" or "well'. Unlike most people, those with underlying conditions often feel sick every day. For them sickness is often a matter of degrees. They can't be sick. They don't look sick Your employee may not tell you they are sick Depending on the disease, the employee may not show visible...

Most people take their work very seriously, and they try to avoid being absent from work as little as possible. Good employees understand how absenteeism negatively impacts their employer and puts unnecessary stress on their co-workers. For these reasons, there are many people that will drag themselves into work no matter how they feel - whether sick or healthy. One of the best reasons for employees missing a day of work is when they are sick. This is not only beneficial for the sick employee but for their co-workers as well. The following are some guidelines to help individuals know when calling in sick in the right thing to do. Are You Too Sick to Work? There are several questions that employees...

The Family Medical Leave Act, often referred to as the FMLA, guarantees that eligible employees will be able to obtain leave upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. To be eligible to take FMLA leave, an employee must work for a covered employer, work 1,250 hours during the 12 months prior to the start of leave, work at a location where 50 or more employees work at that location or within 75 miles of it, and have worked for the employer for 12 months. Provided that the employee is eligible, the right to leave is triggered by one of the following events: Birth of a child. If a child is born to the employee and the employee requests leave to care for the child, the employee may use FMLA leave...

My 79-year-old widowed mother has a part-time job aiding elderly people in their homes. I used to be amused by saying that; I mean, 79 is elderly, isn't it? The fact is, her paid work is a mere four hours a week, a small piece of her portfolio of several self-chosen activities which keep her vibrantly engaged with life. My mom is an admirable example of the "new old." But I'm no longer amused at the irony of her employment since I read about an 89-year-old former airline pilot who works 25 hours or more a week helping older adults find jobs. Yikes! Meanwhile, following this great generation are baby boomers bracing for a future that will have them working beyond the standard retirement age. If it...

It can be extremely difficult to obtain; to find out your options, you really need to speak with an experienced health insurance broker. It's not totally impossible to obtain, but there are some qualifications and restrictions that aren't understood by many insurance applicants. Why is maternity leave difficult to obtain? If you happen to be the beneficiary of group health insurance that has maternity leave as one of the benefits, then you are in fairly good shape. However, if you are searching for individual insurance, you're well aware that maternity leave often isn't covered under common insurance plans. Again it is not totally impossible to get, you just need to be aware of the parameters of...

The Family Medical Leave Act (the "FMLA"), passed by Congress and signed by the President in 1993, was the first national family and medical leave legislation in the United States. Prior to the enactment of the FMLA, employees may have had access to medical leave as the result of collective-bargaining agreements, employer policies, or state statutes, but such coverage was typically not as broad as coverage provided under the FMLA. Moreover, a large number of U.S. citizens completely lacked the ability to obtain medical leave prior to the enactment of the FMLA. The FMLA requires certain employers with 50 or more employees to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year to eligible...

Every organization has at least one: that employee, who for whatever reason, behaves as though coming to work is a fate worse than death. You know, the guy who drags down coworker morale with his horrific attitude, or the gal whose absence transforms an office of formerly solitary cubicle hermits into a place where people productively work together to get extraordinary results. He (or she, as the case may be) is your company’s “bad apple.” And Joanne G. Sujansky, Ph. D., founder and president of KEYGroup ( warns that if you want to keep him (or her) from spoiling the whole barrel, well, you’ve got your work cut out for you. A new study shows that your company’s bad apples have a...

Were your parents wealthy? My parents did OK, and they did even start their own business. But they still never taught me these 3 things: - The difference between linear and leveraged income - How much money you need to comfortably retire - Using the Law of Attraction to attract wealth Linear income is trading time for money. In other words, if you don't work you don't get paid. Many people think doctors and lawyers have it made, but think about it - they only make money when they have a client to help. When they retire, they better have substantial savings to live off of, just like everyone else who works for someone else. Leveraged income takes advantage of other people's time. Most business owners...

Lawyers are professionals who help other people with legal matters. If you need legal tips, you should try to find a lawyer whom you can treat as a trusted advisor. Lawyers can only give you guidance. They can't make business decisions for you.

"If a man has talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If hehas a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it,he has gloriously succeeded and has a satisfaction and atriumph few men ever know." -- Thomas Wolfe I think the key words in the path to success are: DESIRE, DETERMINATION, DEDICATION and SELF DISCIPLINE. Because everything starts out with the "seed of desire" - thereason why I started out writing - wanting to make a differencethrough my words. Others are FOCUS and a SINGLE-MINDEDNESS (in pursuit of one's goals). PERSERVERANCE TOO (in large "heaps".The words 'determination' and (by association) 'ruthlessness', suggesta...

A bona fide occupational qualification (or a BFOQ) is a characteristic that certain employers are allowed to take into account when hiring and firing employees. These characteristics would, in other circumstances, be considered discriminatory; however, due to the nature of certain jobs, legislature has made a few exceptions. What constitutes a BFOQ? Characteristics which are considered "bona fide occupational qualifications" include the following:o Ageo Gendero Nationalityo Religion It is important to keep in mind that an employer is only able to discriminate based on these characteristics when it is deemed it "reasonably necessary" in order for an employee to perform the basic duties of the job for...

In the past ten years or so, we have seen an abundance of new management theories/models being introduced. However, there's no management theory that's worth calling a perfect one, also it is practically impossible for all managers to try and apply each of them. Does that mean, a manager should pay no attention to these theories? Well, the answer is in negative, for most of these models are laid down by successful managers or erudite scholars. Therefore, you must go through all of them once in a while, for the sake of learning one thing or two, even if you are not looking to adapt. One of these management theories is referred to as the "Path-Goal theory of leadership" that has been jotted down by...

The American economic system of capitalism is unique in the industrialized world. Forms of capitalism exist in many countries, and the one general statement that applies to its usage is that capitalist countries are always more prosperous than non-capitalist states. That being stated, why is American capitalism so advanced, successful, admired and feared? We all know that America offers the most dynamic advanced economy in the world. Brands such as Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Estee Lauder, IBM, MicroSoft, Kentucky Fried Chicken and hundreds more are badges of the amazing success of the American model in achieving worldwide prominence. Each of these enterprises were born of entrepreneurial roots, grown...

I had the pleasure last week of hearing a presentation by Henry Mintzberg, McGill professor and management guru. One attendee described him as the "Tiger Woods of management science". I know him as the Strategy professor during my McGill MBA program from 35 years ago. (Yikes, neither of us seem to have aged that much! OK, maybe less hair.) He is a widely respected academic and the acclaimed author of "The Nature of Managerial Work ", "The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning", "Managers not MBAs" and many other books and articles that argue against the conventional wisdom and provoke thoughtful reflection on management and business. He is also the co-founder of the International Masters Program in...

Before you do, there are some things that you need to think about, so that if you decide this is the right course of action, your business flourishes.

I recently spoke with a franchise company that provides cleaning services. This enterprise has been in business for about 18 months. The company has ten employees, 115 clients and produces revenue of over $12,000 per month. Unfortunately, the company advertising expenses total of $5,000 every month! As a result, company profit only totals a little under ten percent. The owner wants to increase its client base and attract and retain my best employees. This reminds me of the old saying: "That you have to spend money to make money." Do entrepreneurs have to spend money to make money? Well, some believe that there are only two ways to increase your profits. Either you reduce your expenses or...

This is the age of job hopping and downsizing. Though both of these things seem to be quite paradoxical, the truth is that both these things are happening almost consistently right now and that is the reason a lot of leadership coaching material that's out there at the moment is dealing with these issues. Among other things, leadership coaching experts are speaking about how business firms should stay put with the employees they have and improve them rather than changing their staff every so often. Most leadership coaching experts are unanimous in their opinion that rotating employees often is quite a wasted exercise and it can put a lot of pressure on the reserves of the company. First and foremost...

Union free elections are lost for many reasons. As we discussed in Part 3, one reason companies lose elections is because they break the Labor Board rules. That's why our number one rule for consultants and clients is don't cheat. We have never committed an unfair labor practice in thousands of elections because we follow these rules. Here are some bonus tips on how to avoid these problems (by the way, the easy way to remember the rules is to remember the word TIPS). These slip-ups often lead to unfair labor practices and overturn elections. Threats: A common error is threatening employees. Any threat that a bad thing will happen if an employee votes for the union is unlawful. It's also a bad...

There are some times when you can catch your Cafe World employees not serving. What is this all about anyways? Well, this can be a huge problem, since this cafe is ran like a real restaurant. What usually happens is that unserviced customers get up and leave. The following are some of the most common reasons why employees might not be serving correctly. Layout If the layout is too congested, the waiter will not be able to efficiently get to everyone. When this happens, there are many customers that sit and wait for too long, so they leave the cafe. This can be remedied by trying a few different table set-ups. One way to make sure that the waiter sticks to serving tables is by trapping him in the...

Forget the economy, panic is sweeping the nation and it’s called Swine Flu. Whether it becomes a global pandemic or whether it turns out to be no worse than any other flu virus that sweeps the nation every winter remains to be seen. However this is an issue that employers should give a thought to now. What if someone phones in saying ‘I’m not very well, I’ve phoned the doctor but she just tells me to stay at home. I might have the flu but I’m not sure. Do you want me to come in?’.  In this kind of situation, the employer has to balance the interest of staff attending work against the risk of a sick member of staff infecting others. Of course if he really did have the flu, he probably...

"I quit!" In the movies, unhappy people always quit their jobs with great fanfare. They throw open a door, hurl their resignation letter into the boss's face, then storm out, often to the cheers of their equally disgruntled co-workers. That may work in the movies. But in real life, if you truly want to quit your job, whatever the reason, you need a good exit strategy. Why? Well, whenever possible, you want to leave on good terms. Don't "burn bridges," as they say. I know, it may seem unlikely that you'll ever deal with those people again. But karma dictates that if you quit in a state of high drama, anger, and bad feelings, those folks will come back to haunt you. Guaranteed. I don't like it either...

> Leverage by Alvah Parker Cassy was an employee of a nonprofit who had been at her job 5 years. She came to me because she felt that the organization she was working for didn’t value her and was upset because others had been promoted but she had not. By the time we began to work together she had already written her resignation letter and asked me to review it with her. Her letter was not an angry one. She even thanked the organization for the training she had received that had enabled her to have some notable achievements. After I read it I asked her to think of one skill that she hoped she would get from her next position and weave it into the letter so they would know why she was leaving...

'People don't leave organisations they leave bad managers' is an adage going around the place and very true. People exit for all sorts of bad managers, in my recent doctoral research I found two types of bad managers that you should look out for in your job as they will have no reason to help you stay on and perform at your best. You may recognise them from the profiles below from your previous workplaces. The first type is obvious to see, the second is less easy to spot, but let's go through the types and you can judge for yourself. Type 1: The Superior Malevolent You can spot this one fairly easily as they wish to be superior to you in every way. They will assert themselves from day one, when they...

 A new job is always promising. The enthusiasm and vigor a new employee carries along is splendid. It is a threshold of a new career path, and an employee has to cross the milestones, building a career and emerge victoriously. Two contradicting situations, one is the start of a professional relation with the company and the second is the end of the relation with the company.  Joining a firm is a pleasure and parting is pain. There can be umpteen numbers of reasons as to why an employee would want to resign. Family Problems, Salary Issues, Flexibility Issues, Excessive Work Load, Grudges with Colleagues etc. to highlight a few.  No matter how grave is the situation, resigning a job gracefully...

"Thanks, man. I really appreciate it." You are quitting your job and moving to the Next Big Thing. But on your way out, remember to "Mind your Ps and Qs." Well, primarily you'll need to mind your Qs, as in "Thank Yous." Being grateful for the people at work who made your work life hell is even more important than being grateful for the people who made your work life a pleasure. The art of gratitude requires that we move outside of our comfort zone, thanking those who we enjoyed, and do something that makes us squirm a little... thanking those we did not enjoy. Before you assume I mean writing a flowery, gushy note of faux praise to the Thorn In Your Side (hereafter referred to as TIYS), don't get...

If you are intending on leaving your current position, whether it is for a better job at a better company or because you are retiring, there are ways to go about leaving so you appear professional.

Maybe when you were ringing in 2006, you silently hoped that at the same time next year you would be toasting your success in a new job. You fantasized about how good it would feel to go to a job that you liked, a job where you had career promise and did interesting, challenging work.
