Telecommuting: Is it feasible for your company?

HR Departments Need Business Acumen Too
The problem with a lot of HR departments is that companies relegate them too far to a “back office” mentality. This only renders the people who work in them out of touch with the front of the house where an understanding of the business and the people driving it is critical. So, in order for human resource employees to be the necessary link that connects internal functions with external performance, those working in HR should be as business minded and savvy as they are administrative and up on HR laws.
HR Departments: Making Structure Make Sense
Human Resource departments are not being optimized because of the way they tend to be structured.

Hiring for the 21st Century
Workforce productivity is the driving force for success in the 21st century, yet many employers are not realizing the levels of productivity from the Human Resources function they could be. The challenge for HR functions within organizations is to implement hiring processes that enhance the productivity of an organization’s workforce. Implementing hiring processes that enhance productivity means hiring more qualified people who are a good fit for the jobs they will be performing, and who become productive more quickly and achieve higher levels of performance. The issue today is how HR accomplishes this task in the most modern, legally compliant, objective, nondiscriminatory and cost efficient manner possible.

How to sell deeper into your existing clients business
I received a call from a sales executive (let's call him Carl) recently about a dilemma he was having. He said, "Russ, I have a great suite of products and services that can address the needs of various departments and functions within a company. But once I get the first sale in one department, I just can't seem to penetrate other departments at this same account. I just seem to hit a brick wall. I looked at most of my accounts and I noticed that I only sold one product or service to each one. I rarely sell multiple products to multiple departments within the same company. What am I doing wrong?" Read on to find out what I told him.

Government Business Grants in Canada. Are They a Myth?
Bureaucrats are famous or infamous depending upon your perspective, for lacking knowledge of what goes on outside of their own departments/agencies. Often they are not aware of the programs of another division within their own departments. Many government programs provide funding that is non - repayable but are not called grants.

Marketing, sales and service silos why?
For people in the communications industry it is appalling that there is a lack of real communication occurring between their marketing and sales departments. All too often I see departments vying for budgets, leadership, ideas, etc. Some people believe marketing drives the engine and sales are irrelevant, or sales are king and what is marketing anyway? It's not just the sales people. Some organisations don't even know the difference between marketing and sales or don't see the connection between the two in the first place.
