Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:13:09 -0500

They make themselves cultural custodians for their companies, creating a foundation for consistent year after year performance and improvement protecting the work environment and delivering great financial results.What is a cultural custodian? Perhaps before we answer this, we should define culture. Answers.com defines culture as, "The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought. The predominating attitudes and behavior that characterize the functioning of a group or organization."This definition is a good start for understanding corporate culture. Corporations are more specific. Corporations are more focused in that their goal is production. That is to say, corporations are focused on the profitable creation and distribution of products and services. Achieving these goals has spec...

Applicant tracking software – Decision Time

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 09:42:43 -0500

Marketing for any enterprise level technology tends to follow a common formula. The product sales team will generally stress "powerful" features, showcase high-profile clients and emphasize simple integration. While these sales principles ring true for many industries, they are often more stringently applied to enterprise software products. Recently, I attended a group sales presentation from several vendors in the applicant tracking software industry. During the event each company presented their product using PowerPoint slides to walk through their products. As I closed my eyes and listened to the speakers, each presentation ran together into an amorphous cloud of hollow marketing lingo and statements worn out by years of repeated use during sales calls. During the event a sinking feeling began to set in. How are potential customers supposed to differentiate between these products and formulate a purchasing preference? Fortunately, I was seated next t...

How Is Your Intent Aligned With Your Impact

"But I didn't mean to hurt him!" Those of us who are parentshave heard our children use these words all too often in themidst of rousing horseplay. Inevitably we respond with somethinglike, "Of course you didn't, but you still need to say you'resorry. With our children, we try to convey the differencebetween what we intend and the resultant impact of our actions.We explain that even when we don't plan to harm others,sometimes they end up getting hurt by what we do. Unfortunately,this is an insight that often gets lost in our working lives.In recent coaching discussions with a number of my clients, thishas been a common theme. Several have been addressing thechallenge of distinguishing between what they intend and howthey are actually perceived. Michel is a very caring and compassionate manager. His directreport, Karly is a very career-minded individual who is eagerto be promoted to the next level. Michel has been reluctant togive Karly negative feedback because it mig...

Utilize Digital IDs and Protect Important PDF Files

Tue, 11 May 2010 19:45:19 -0500

Digital IDs are used to provide added security to electronic documents such as PDF files. You could think of them as a means of identifying who you are to the user just as a passport or a driver's license would. It would also give you the right to perform certain actions on the document such as editing or making some changes in the content. On the other hand, no unauthorized person can access the content unless his or her digital ID has been approved. This makes the PDF files virtually tamper proof since any attempt at forcibly accessing the content will only result in corrupt pdf files. Another important feature is that the usage rights and access rights of the PDF file can be changed from user to user.

Controlling PST Usage In An Organization

Fri, 23 Apr 2010 19:32:18 -0500

With the Microsoft Office Outlook version, the Personal Folders file is no longer restricted to GB but can support much larger files, even those that extend up to TB. This can get to be a problem especially for system administrators who have to worry about users letting their PST files grow enormously large taking up a lot of hard disk space. On the other hand, one cannot deny that there is a tremendous advantage in the large file size limit for the Personal Folder file or PST file - for one, the users do not have to constantly keep an eye on the size of the file and secondly, there need not be a fear of the PST file getting damaged quickly due to the file exceeding size limit. If the Outlook file gets damaged as a result of size problems, the only alternative is to repair outlook and restore the data. Considering all this, system administrators have to consider monitoring or even controlling t...

If you own a business, regardless of the size, you probably spend a large amount of your time dealing with employee paperwork. This is especially true if you own a small business that has no HR department. In this case, you may be the one person responsible for all employee paperwork. You may spend as much as a fourth of your time dealing with this paperwork, in fact. One solution that many businesses have started turning to, is human resource outsourcing.

Like any sort of outsourcing, it has its ups and downs, but there are a number of benefits that outsourcing your human resources tasks brings.
