Employment Guide, Articles and  Issues

Discrimination in the workplace

There are a million and one ways that you can be discriminated against in the workplace, and I though that I would use this article to highlight some of them.

 

Gaps in your employment

It's very common today for employees to take time off between jobs. This can happen for a number of different reasons such as raising a family, taking care of a family member who is ill, not being able to find the “ideal” job, recovering from an illness, travelling, or simply taking a break after graduating from college. 

 

How to reduce stress at work

Imagine working only four hours a day, nine months a year and earning all the money you need to do exactly what you want with all your free time. Does that sound like your life? 

 

International Recruitment Trends

The increasing globalisation of the marketplace combined with an ever increasing shortage of skilled staff and advances in technology have resulted in large scale changes to recruitment practices throughout the world.

 

Could you work for an inventive business?

Companies with the highest potential are usually called ‘inventive’ businesses. They are agile and fast moving. What is characteristic for them is a very specific internal culture and working environment they offer.

 

Leaving your job - don't burn those bridges!

The time comes for everyone where their job isn't what it used to be (or perhaps it never was!).  So you have to leave.  Some people don't understand that being unhappy in a job is more important than your income at the time.  You just have to do it.

 

Minimum wage law - information about the minimum wage

Governments implement minimum wage laws to provide employees with a minimum level of standards and fairness in the workplace.  Obviously the minimum wage rates and legislations vary from country to country.

 

People are not pegs
My experience of living on purpose and coaching others tells me, the more you optimise your gifts and use your Art, the more your life is on purpose.  You naturally make your authentic contribution.

 

Pre employment screening

Pre employment screening is the process of carrying out background checks on potential candidates (ie, you the job seeker).  It is considered (by employers, but more so by those promoting pre employment screening services) to be necessary in this day and age.

 

Resignation letter - how to write a resignation letter

You are in a job you hate.  Your boss is a tyrant and the pay sucks.  So you start looking for another job and after a while of ducking out for interviews, you are made an offer.

 

The Right Way to Quit Your Job

After the stressful process of looking for a new job while you’re still employed, accepting an offer is a huge relief.  At last, you’re free!  You probably can’t wait to share your good fortune with the world and tell your boss where she can shove that evil assignment she gave you last week.

 

What to do about problem supervisors

If you have ever quit a job because you didn't get along with your boss, you are not alone. A Gallup Poll of over a million employees found that how long workers stay at companies and how productive they are is determined by their relationship with their immediate supervisor. 

 

Small Business Websites That Work

The week after it's launch, the website was "site of the day" in the UK's Daily Mirror national newspaper and got a quarter of a page of coverage in Web User magazine.  I got emails from lots of people who had seen it in these publications telling me they enjoyed it and got quite a few people linking to my site after reading about it.

 

Surviving the office party

How many times have you been to an office party where you or one of your co-workers have hooked up with someone?
