Snow Days: Anxiety for Employees AND Employers

We've had lots of questions about how to handle employee absences due to the recent snow storms.  It's a tough call to make as to whether you keep the office open, how to handle employees who can't make it and whether you dock people's pay if they can't make it.

Ahh - the digital world

Ahh the digital world. Personally? I’m addicted – I’m a “crackberry” with carpal “thumbal”. But, I’m also a hands-free kind of girl – my entire car is “blue tooth” so I don’t have to have my communicator sticking out of my ear when I’m driving. I can dial by voice – I can answer a call with one move of a finger on my steering wheel – I can disconnect the call the same way. You know what I can’t do though? I can’t text or e-mail without using both hands with both eyes on the Blackberry – not on the road. How safe is that?

A Trip to Washington, D.C,

Once again, an opportunity presented itself to visit my Representatives and Congressmen on their own turf. A little daunting with your first trip – you tend to act like a tourist and can be easily overwhelmed by the location, the sites and the people you meet – and you get better each time you go back. Hey, these people work for me, right? (It’s also helpful when your Chamber of Commerce has made all the arrangements including the transportation!)

The Biggest Mistake In Hiring

No kidding, hiring is a bit like dating. Everyone is on their best behavior and it’s an exciting time to bring the “newbie” who is going to work wonders in the company. And, sometimes we get lucky and find our perfect person. But more often than not, we find that there are warts on our Prince and somehow we missed that in the early stages
