A leader does not necessarily manage, but a manager had better be a good leader.

The Proper Way to Correct I-9 Documents and Not Pay Penalties

Surprising as it might sound, many employers are either unaware of I-9 documents penalties and fines, or are willing to take the risk of noncompliance. This is a very bad situation to be in, something that has been compounded by the fact that the regulatory agencies are communicating more than ever before on this topic. The way in which the departments communicate with each other makes it easier for them to target employers. Yet, the fact is that most complaints come from disgruntled employees, while others come from audits of target industries.

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.

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...

A step-by-step process for the first 90 days in their new role

Supervisors, managers and leaders that have moved into a new role get a very small amount of the training that they need to be successful in the role. Despite having sound qualifications and years of experience, and despite given the fact that most people learn on the job, there are many aspects that are unknown about the job and the new role. Research has consistently proven this. The first three months are a crucial period for building the vital learning needed for phasing into a new role painlessly. What learning should be imparted during this period? What should be learnt and how? Who should impart this learning? A webinar, which Traininng.com, leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance is organizing on September 27, will explain these and all other aspects of phasing into the new role. Michael Healey, a senior human resources professional, will be the expert at this webinar. Please register for this valuable learning session by logging ...
