How To Avoid Caregiver Discrimination Claims
In April 2009, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") published its Best Practices to assist employers in complying with federal anti-discrimination laws as they relate to workers with caregiving responsibilities. The Best Practices are not binding on employers and do not make caregivers a newly protected category under federal law. Rather, these are suggestions from the EEOC to encourage employers to consider "the ways in which family-friendly workplace policies can improve workers' ability to balance caregiving responsibilities with work." The EEOC asserts that these recommendations may also benefit an employers' workers, customer-base and bottom line by improving employee retention, increasing profitability and reducing costs associated with high employee turnover.

Young Men Struggle with WorkLife Balance Too
Is it true that women are the only ones in the workplace struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance? It might seem so because women are traditionally viewed as the caregivers, childminders, and home-makers. Trying to balance all of those roles with the demands of work can truly prove overwhelming, even for the most adept multi-tasker. However, recent research would suggest that men - young men in particular - are also at risk for increased stress due to struggling with work-life balance.

Work At Home Options For The Stay At Home Dad
In an increasingly diverse and innovative society there are more and more gender stereotypes that begin to break down. As the career oriented woman in the work place becomes more and more common for many households, the stay-at-home role is being occupied by Dad. Many of these men see the value in family, and the success that their wives have in the business world and willingly step up to the domestic role and finds success and fulfillment in that.
Millennials – Can’t Work With ‘Em…Can’t Work Without ‘Em: So what’s a company to do?
Millennials: The youngest members of your workforce, given that moniker becaue they began entering the workforce at the turn of the millennium. As with their older counterparts, they have their own set of stereotypes that come along with them: "Slackers" - "Whiners" - "The 'get a reward for everything' generation." How do companies, and particularly we Boomer bosses, make the most of these young people's capacities while we help them learn how to navigate a work world that will not always be as warm and fuzzy as was mom and the soccer coach?
A Leadership Guide To Managing The Generations
One of the most common questions I am asked by managers is “how can I manage the ‘younger’ generation?” It seems every second workplace is having challenges between different generations …with differences in expectations of managers, work approach and style.

Coaching Tip - Top 4 Ways Pressure Salespeople Gain Their Reputation
Why do we have negative salespeople stereotypes? Because unbelievably there are still salespeople who don’t understand that selling isn’t about them; selling is about the customer. How do you have to act to be a pressure salesperson?
Why you can’t have a one-type-of-sales-person-does-it-all approach
There is a large body of research that shows there are many types of sales people for different types of clients, products, and markets. Just because a sales person may be excellent in one market may not mean they are well suited for another. In today's world we are well equipped to define the type of sales role our business needs and define the salesperson's selling style to match that role. So let move away from limiting sales stereotypes and open ourselves to diversity.
Common Sense and Success
We are all born with five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. These senses help us navigate our way through the world. They bring us delight in small things. They also warn us when danger threatens. However, I believe that we all have a sixth, and underused sense, our common sense. Your common sense helps you make the right decision in ambiguous situations -- but only if you use it. When I tell people that I'm the Common Sense Guy, people often come back with Will Rogers' saying, "Common sense isn't all that common." I disagree. I think that we all have innate common sense. It's a natural gift, just like our five other senses. We don't always use it though. If you are willing to let your common sense guide you today, you can use it as a guide tomorrow, the next day, next week and next month.
Dumb Jocks … Or Smart Athletes?
We all know the stereotype. The great athlete didn't spend much time honing his intellectual skills; instead, all of his efforts were spent on the athletic field and thus, he tends to be lacking in the brains department. Like all stereotypes, this idea does not encompass all athletes, but still seems to be pervasive, especially among football players, where we all chuckle about the easy courses they take in college, etc. For example, it seems like 90 % of football players are Sociology majors, often the easiest curriculum at the university. However, some new research cited in Scientific American is stereotype breaking.
