Work at Home as a Microsoft Excel Expert
These days, many companies will outsource their data entry jobs because it is becoming more cost-effective to do so. They are looking for Excel experts to gather, process and organize vast amounts of data that they collect on a daily basis. Not only does it free up valuable time that the company can use to focus on their core processes, but many businesses have large volumes of data that are difficult to store and manage.
Collecting the Facts for Preparing Process Maps
In two previous papers, we outlined the elements involved in setting up a process improvement project and getting the word out with a public announcement. With everyone on board, it’s time to get into the trenches. Fact gathering is an integral part of understanding reality and preparing a good process map. Yet, it is often dismissed or given cursory attention as superficial process maps are created by an individual or group of people some distance away from the work…and thereby some distance away from reality. If you want your process maps to reflect reality, you must go to the work and see it happen.

Sculpting Your Business Focus

The Interview Process in a Nutshell
Have you ever thought about the full cost of hiring a new employee? There are the obvious costs: placing an ad, the wages spent on time looking at resumes and conducting interviews, pre-employment physical, reference checks. Then there are the less obvious costs: wages for training time of both the trainer and new employee, lost productivity while the position is vacant, lost productivity while the new employee learns and gets up to speed, the cost of mistakes. When you add it all up it definitely motivates you to minimize employee turnover, doesn’t it? And there are many strategies an employer can utilize to create an environment that inspires employee loyalty. But the first and most important step is making the right hiring decision.

The Two Most Effective Ways to Increase Employee Productivity, Customer Loyalty & Profitability
Wouldn’t it be great if you, as a leader, could wave a magic wand and initiate two simple tools that would almost guarantee an increase in employee productivity, customer loyalty and company profitability? Impossible, you say! After all, those increases require exhaustive planning, numerous employee training and business development initiatives, and a dogged determination to cut costs. In some cases, they even requires massive company reorganization – and everything takes lots of time and with no guarantee of success. Well, all that may be true. But consider another truth: By improving just two things --employee engagement and inclusion --you can immediately increase employee productivity, customer loyalty and profitability and it doesn’t take a long, drawn out program to pull it off. Let me explain . . .

Demonstrating Leadership when Handling a Disgruntled Employee
"Are you kidding me?" ---- "I can't believe you are doing this to me!" -----"This just isn't fair" Have you ever heard those words or similar words from an employee? Have you ever had to handle a situation where an employee is so upset they become very emotional? If you haven't and you are in management, you will. It's just a matter of time.
Employee vs Independent Contractor
If you own a small business or are thinking about starting one, you will need to have a good understanding of the difference between a regular W-2 employee and a 1099 independent contract. It is usually more beneficial for an employer to have a contractor rather than an employee because the employer does not have to spend the time and effort to do payroll for that worker. Unfortunately, you don't get to just choose which status you put a worker into. The IRS forces you to choose one status or the other based on your relationship with a worker. The more supervision you have over a worker, the more likely it is that the worker should be a W-2 employee. The more independence they have, the more likely it is that they should be a 1099 contractor.
