The HR Connection

So many things to do, and so little time to do it in.  I admit it....I fell off the time management wagon.....HARD!  I don't know when it happened, or why it happened.  All I know is that is hasn't been pretty.  I am known to my children as the time warden (although I'm quite sure they call me a time psycho behind my back, but that's for a different discussion).  I've dusted myself off, bandaged up my "wounds", and am back in business.  Lessons learned,  here are some examples of what NOT to do...................... 

I posted this blog 3 years ago, and as the years have gone on, I thought it was worthy of repeating:

As we enter the festivities of December, we think to ourselves….our office party is coming up soon. With the company holiday party right around the corner, it’s time to let loose and party with our fellow co-workers after a long year, right? Wrong.

No one ever wants to talk about this subject...it's almost taboo.  Eh....you keep quiet, sweep it under the rug....ssssshhhhhh.   In recent news, it seems the sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain have brought this to the forefront.  It must stink as a politico to have this interfere with your campaign.  For our firms, it is important that we understand harassment issues and the effects it may have - interference with firm operations, negative effect on employees, loss of productivity and of course, exposure and liability.

We at FMRTL have a motto......Get Involved, Be Rewarded.  Giving back to the community is very important to our firm.  We participate in, and volunteer our time for, different organizations.  One of the events we participate in is the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women.

At 211 degrees water is hot.  At 212 degrees it boils.  Boiling water makes steam.   Steam can power a train.  Imagine this....what if your firm applied that extra degree to everything that they do?  What would happen then?  Do you want to move full steam ahead?
