7 Reasons for Failed Employee Probations
When a new employee starts with your company, the first few months are like a honeymoon period. You and the employee are getting to know each other, working out what makes each other tick and the employee is learning about your business. During this period, both sides work out if they are a "fit" and if the employee is not working out, then their probation is not confirmed (read - sacked). Generally probation lasts for 3 months, but in Australia under Work Choices (and where you notify the person before they commence), this probationary period can be up to 6 months.

Building Your Own Business but Wary of the ‘S’ Word?
“Selling” has gotten a bad rap! We’ve all experienced obnoxious salespeople who have turned us off…made us cringe…and even stopped us from pursuing a purchase we really wanted.

Getting and keeping your key demographic’s attention
In a rich media environment, audiences are in an increasingly constant state of distraction. We’re all busy, and there is a lot going on in our lives - our attention is valuable and limited. Unfortunately for businesses, this means that in order to cut through the clutter, they have to constantly repeat themselves and draw their audience’s attention back to important items, refocusing them over and over again. It’s a frustrating dance for both partners. The business may ask “how can I get this person’s attention?”, while the audience is left wondering “what’s this person trying to tell me? and why should I care?”
