Major changes have been taking place at the workplace. Today, the workforce is no longer a staid or static one. It is lively, vibrant and mobile. No organization can expect to retain a workforce in which wholehearted appreciation is not forthcoming or where the employees do not make a difference. Organizations judge employees on the quality of their own work, but also that of their team members. This makes it necessary for individuals to assist their team members and help them raise their standards. However, with each employee being unique, one standard method or principle cannot be applied across the board. Team members, especially Leads and Managers, need to learn the fundamentals of human motivation if they have to motivate and engage each employee and the entire team for top performance in tune with their unique strengths, attitudes and skillsets. Some of the questions they have to pose to themselves and be able to answer include: What works well and what doesn’t? How effecti...

Managing employees who are not represented is quite a daunting task for most managers and supervisors. When they fail to take the warning signs of an emerging union, they end up allowing it to snowball into a major force that could stunt their productivity and harm their organization’s prospects. It is therefore imperative for them to read the early signs of the formation of a union, which should ideally be before a union gets the appropriate number of signed Authorization Cards and the NLRB conducts a secret Election. It is said that the best election is one that is never held. At a webinar that is being organized by Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance on July 23, Gerry McLaughlin, who brings over three decades of experience as a negotiator, will explain which early telltale signs management should look for in anticipating the creation of a union.

A gap in the effective cleaning procedures raises critical concerns over the integrity of product quality, safety and efficacy, in just the same way critical data integrity issues result from a gap in data. The perception in validation circles that cleaning validation is a generic version in the list of validations may not be right, since cleaning validation requires the use of different Acceptance Criteria for deciding the effectiveness of cleaning. Having said this, cleaning validation professionals are left wondering how to fix issues, how effective the correct approach is, how to design and perform the cleaning validation studies, etc. How valid are the traditional concepts in the light of changing expectations from the regulatory agencies? The way out is to employ a risk based approach to design a cleaning validation plan, as the rationale and procedures being used by most companies are turning out to be low on reliability.

As online and electronic modes of payment increase in their prevalence, it is a lot easier to transact with money matters than it was a few years ago. One doesn’t need to visit a bank or any other financial institution to make these. One can do so from the comfort of one’s own location. But wait a minute. While these improvements in technology have made our tasks easier, they also come with an inevitable side effect: the potential for fraud. Vulnerability is a byproduct of technology. It is almost inseparable from the benefits that technology brings. Not only individuals around the world, but even organizations are at the receiving end of various smart frauds that dot the electronic payment landscape. Ironical as it may sound, companies don’t have the same levels and layers of protection from electronic payment fraud as individuals. They have less than 24 hours to report the fraud, failing which their chances of recovering their lost money reduce dramatically. So, what is the way ...

The information that follows applies to human resources personnel and management at all levels.Rewards and recognitions are the responsibility of all involved in the management and development of employees. My belief is that one size does not fit all and in order to achieve the desired outcomes, both task responsibilities and individual differences must be taken into account. Why You have to Know There are numerous elements that decide an association's arrangement around remuneration, advantages, prizes and acknowledgments. Maybe the absolute first choice that should be made is one of the essential estimations of the organization. Is it going to be an organization dependent on rank and security or one dependent on legitimacy - or a blend of the two? Government offices and association controlled associations as a rule settle on the real choices of remuneration around arrangement, rank and security. So too do numerous associations in the corporate world.Smaller organizations ...

Project management is the art and science of getting results by following a roadmap laid down to turn customers desires into concrete products and services by following established procedures in a defined sequence. The Project Management Institute brought active practitioners together to produce the Project Management Body of Knowledge, PMBOK, which is used around the world on all sorts of projects of varying sizes, with or without software support tools. PMBOK definition: A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service. It is temporary because every project has a definite beginning and a definite end. It is Unique because the product or service delivered is different from others. Organizations use projects to achieve their strategic needs, which cannot be attained through normal operational means. Dr. Joseph Juran, a founder of the quality movement, provides another definition: A project is a problem scheduled for solution. The key to a successfu...
