Cart For Recycling Bins Work

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 11:21:07 +0000

A couple of days ago, I decided to get some shopping done. We have been in need of a new cart for recycling bins that we keep in the garage. The wheel had come off of the last one and so I went into this one store that had a bunch of different types of carts in front. I walked into the store and there was the cart I needed! I have been recycling ever since I did some research on the Internet on how to make your own soil. There are a lot of great books on that subject that you can read right online or print out. The things like glass and plastics are what get put in the recycling bins. I can’t wait to get my new cart rolled out to the curb this week!

I had the distinct feeling that at one time people had been assigned to their jobs based upon their competencies matching the job requirements. But today the jobs had changed in their focus and some of the people had been trained to do the new jobs. I also discovered that we had sent people to training and the brought them back to their old jobs and put untrained or partially trained people into the new ones. When we brought in the people from Peoplesoft Workforce Planning they assured me that the new workforce planning system would be able to identify those discrepancies and help us clean up our act.

In House Software Development takes up too many resources

admin — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 20:40:05 +0000

I am a manager in a corporate environment and one of my duties has been to maintain our in-house management web software. This software is written mostly in java and javascript, but we also have used C/C++ for some of our longer running projects. With the growth of the computer industry, our IT department has become overwhelmed just with maintaining our networks and employee computers.

So, I have been thinking about moving the maintenance of the sofater to offshore software development outsourcing. The advantages are highly trained specialists that focus only on developing the software instead of splitting their time with writing software and maintaining networks and servers. I think that I can reduce my company’s costs and increase its efficiency by moving this operations offshore.

I have spoke with my IT manager and many of the IT staff and they agree with me 100%.

A Friend of Mine Sells Recognition Albums.

My friend, Bernie, sells Employee Recognition Gift Ideas. She has a contract with quite a few of the local businesses to purchase gifts to recognize their employees. Not only does the employee benefit, but employee turnover is lessened because of this recognition. Review how often you actually give your employee perks or just a thank you for a job well done. Over 65% of employees surveyed felt that they were not even recognized one time during the last year. Not only that, but 79% of employees leave their jobs partially because of no recognition. For the low cost of a recognition program such as the Kudos Employee Recognition Program, you could save yourself a lot of hiring and training costs!
