Work Life Harmony, Rather Than Work Life Balance
Work life balance suggests people are living two lives, one at work and one away from work. But people don't 'work' for five days or more and 'live' for two days or less. Work is just one of many roles that people perform in their week. No matter where they are or what they are doing, day or night, people are carrying personal baggage, problems, responsibilities, personal goals and work goals. Separation of work and personal life roles has become a blur and, to many of us, almost a seamless link. Family friendly policies are now only one aspect of the work life balance issue. Work life balance has become a key factor in attracting and retaining good staff, male and female in a buyers market generated by a shortage of quality skilled staff.

Older Employees in Big Demand!!
Employers are facing a critical workforce shortage in the not too distant future. There are fewer younger workers entering the US workforce than there are older workers leaving: in fact the ratio is close to 1:3. And this labor shortage is predicted for all industries, from construction and manufacturing, to technology and health care. At the same time, the definition of retirement is changing; more baby boomers are redefining traditional retirement planning by working longer. Sound like a formula for a great and continuing partnership between you and your (or another...) company?

It starts in the Brain
Books such as the iconic “How to Win Friends and Influence People” (1936, Dale Carnegie) or “Think and Grow Rich” (1937, Napoleon Hill) are based on the premise that we need to get our minds right before anything else can happen the way we want it to. Look at the book shelves in any bookstore or library and today you will find a plethora of material providing the same basic message.There is no shortage of material explaining the “what”: there is, however, a shortage of material explaining “how” to enable one to shift the area of control in the brain so that everything else can follow.

Allied Health Staffing Factoring – A Financing Solution for Expanding Companies
The growing nurse shortage has been in the headlines for years, but there is another very real shortage that’s also affecting our nation-the allied health personnel shortage.

Watch out for the Talent Shortage Iceberg!
Sometimes in the midst of the current recession we forget that we have a looming talent shortage – and it will be here before we know it. You might even call it a looming Talent Shortage Iceberg! Take the shipping industry for example. Even as the rescission has reduced the volume of shipping in the last two years, shipping volume overall is up substantially compared to ten years ago. The number of tankers in the ocean, worldwide, rose 17% between 2001 and 2005 and container ships jumped by 30%. With this increase comes the need for talented deck and engineering officers-but the industry is already finding it hard to recruit qualified officers.

Coaching Careless Staff
Managing careless staff can be very frustrating for both the manager and the team particularly if the staff member appears not to care about how their performance is affecting others. Here is how you can use a coaching approach to get staff to focus on fixing the problem themselves.
Coaching Passive/Aggressive staff
If you have staff on your team who aren't responding to you it may be because they are getting some benefit from it. These staff are often called Passive Aggressive staff. They may seem quiet perhaps sullen but they can be quite manipulative and quietly aggressive in getting their own way. Here's how a coach might handle them.

Making Money vs. Earning Money
There has never been a money shortage. There is, from time to time, an idea, inspiration, motivation, or creativity shortage. This shortage may manifest itself in the lack of money. It's important to realize that the only people who make money work at the mint. Everyone else earns money. There is a fair exchange between what an individual does and what he is paid for completing that task. The pay for a task increases as its degree of difficulty, danger, expertise, or the amount of training required increases. There are many jobs that you could be trained to do and be in a position to accomplish the required task by the end of the first day. In most cases, these jobs do not pay particularly well. On the other hand, if you wish to be a neurosurgeon-while you will not be performing the task by the end of the first day-at the point you ha
Leadership Mentors
There is no shortage of individuals who aspire to be really good leaders. There is also an abundance of leadership development programs, yet we still see a habitual shortfall in the number of really good leaders. I believe a major reason is a shortage of really great leadership mentors. This article shares the impact of this problem and gives the antidote.
