| Article Title :: Performance Appraisal - What IS The Point? From Blaming To Better Performance |
| |
| Probably the most misused and abused and disused management tool in history is the performance appraisal. It's the strangest thing. Ask managers or human resources staff whether they think performance appraisal is an important thing to do, and you'll find they usually agree. "Of course it is", is the common response. If you ask why it's important, they will tell you and tell you and tell you. But they don't tell you the right thing!The odd thing is that they often don't get done, and managers, supervisors and employees hate the darned things. Human resource professionals spend a lot of time whipping people into doing them, while managers look for a variety of reasons to delay and d (read full article) |

But are they really, having been in the service business and worked along side the Manufacturing Sectors of many an industry, it is amazing the insight into true efficiency one can get.For instance an interesting thought exercise is to study and apply the Finite Capacity Scheduling Models of manufacturing to a service business. I did this for my company and saw its many cross over uses in the Mobile Car Washing service sector. Routing is similar to routing of parts, scheduling is almost exactly the same as scheduling manufacturing runs of products to be made. Washing the actual car is a process.

We are thinking of upgrading something in our home and have been spending time getting ideas, checking out our options, comparing style, price, and quality.We drove up to the front door of one potential vendor.

| Article Title :: Remember to Sign Your Email |
| |
| When you finish typing an email message, don’t forget to sign it. In email language, that doesn’t mean simply typing your name. The “signature block” contains a great deal more information.An email is a blank screen. It contains none of the contact information found on traditional company letterhead or stationery. So, you need to provide this information in the form of a signature block.Avoid the temptation to create a fancy banner with lots of symbols at the top of your email message. Most of that fancy schmancy stuff doesn’t translate well from one email system to another. It also creates huge files, which means the message takes forever to open. Locking u (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Employee Motivation Made Easy! |
| |
| I am often asked my secret to motivating employees. With over 20 years experience supervising and managing employees, I have found there is only one real key. That key is you must care about people. It comes so natural to me to ask an employee about his or her family, hobbies, problems, or recent accomplishments that I may be aware of. I’m sorry but this is something you can’t train people to do. You can, however, promote an atmosphere that encourages this type of employer to employee relationship.With the politically correct climate today, it is far easier to treat your employees as just that; employees. By asking questions or engaging in conversation that may be interpreted (read full article) |

| The benefit of running an annual employee survey has for a long time been widely accepted but many organizations have been put off by the amount of effort that is required.Many organizations who have bit the bullet and conducted their own internal employee satisfaction surveys have often relied on word-processors to allow them to design and compile a survey, then gone through the effort of printing and distributing the survey and spent time chasing and collecting the completed surveys and then even more time transferring the survey response information into a meaningful management report.Fortunately with the introduction of the Internet and hosted survey websites like www.
