Real-Life CE as a Benefit: Yoga Classes?

Posted by accountingweb on Aug 16 2000 119 printer friendly

CPAs are going to continue going after CPE, but what about other types of training for themselves and their staffs?

One of the newest trends taking place in the business marketplace is to find alternative continuing education opportunities ... getting away from the technical stuff and going after subjects that just feel good!

Consider Yoga or exercise classes, for example, to boost employee morale. Community colleges are a prime source for solid continuing education in all interest areas. How about Spanish or other foreign language lessons?

Get creative. Ask employees what they want. Explore fresh opportunities. You'll find a renewed work place and stronger, committed employees in exchange.
