Added for You - Great Business ... Pity About the Boss
The festivities of the holiday season manifest even in the most focused of workplaces. Most workplaces have their own holiday traditions: formal holiday parties, lunchtime cookie swaps, Secret Santa exchanges or all of the above. But for those companies looking for a special way to celebrate the spirit of the season, why not consider adopting a family for the holidays?There are a number of compelling reasons to incorporate the Adopt-a-Family tradition into your workplace's holiday festivities. For one, it's truly a feel-good endeavor. What could be a better way to celebrate the holidays than by assuring that less fortunate children are able to have a wonderful day, too? Beyond that, adopting a fa
Prior to Jenny being in this role, there had been three other people who had worked in her position, and each one had lasted less than 3 months.
Jenny had enough, she left after 6 months and found her current position. It wasn't the money that was her main issue. It was the flexibility and appreciation. Although her boss was pleasant enough, he just didn't understand that there is more to working with someone than just paying their wages.

Day after day, week after week the P.A. is in the office, slogging away making sure the work gets done. In many instances it is the P.A. that holds the business / department together.
Many of them are so conscientious they won't take time out and will stay at their desk until the work is done. Not only are they integral to the running of any business, their income and the way they are treated may not always reflect the importance of their role.
JENNY'S STORY
Jenny worked for her current employer for three years and thoroughly enjoyed her role as Personal Assistant to the General Manager. They had a great working relationship.
If she required the occasional afternoon or morning off to deal with personal matters, all she had to do was ask. Her boss praised her regularly for her contribution and rewarded her ... sometimes monetarily and other times with a dinner out for her and her partner or movie tickets when they achieved their sales targets.
Because of this attitude with her employer, she did her utmost best in her work and never thought twice about working overtime on the odd occasion. In fact she worked twice as hard because she was appreciated and had some flexibility in her working hours.
This is a totally different situation to Jenny's previous employer. Jenny had been working for another small business owner where her boss was a workaholic. Although he had a wife and family, his behaviour didn't reflect this. He was extremely disorganised, worked all hours of the day and night and couldn't understand why everyone else went home at 5.00 p.m.
Although she did her utmost best to organise him and get the work done on time, he would always ask for tasks to be done just when she was getting ready to leave for the day.
On the many occasions when she worked back or took work home so that her boss would have what he wanted for the next morning, he never thanked her. He just assumed that's what she should do. He never considered her needs. She was a single parent and therefore had major responsibilities. She had a life too. Her boss on the other hand was fortunate to have a wife who didn't work and took care of their personal life...not that he noticed as he was always working.

In any type of business, one of the most important aspects is your employee morale. While this may sound like some type of HR buzzword, it is a vital piece of the puzzle. Unhappy workers produce less work. Not to mention, the quality of the work usually leaves something to be desired. Happy workers produce more quality work. This is a simple fact of the business world. Whether you’re selling vacuum cleaners or doing taxes, unless you are having fun, your work will suffer. This is why it is essential to have corporate fun days in any business.What are corporate fun days? The simple answer is that they are exactly what they sound like…a day where your corporation has fun. Sounds pretty easy, rig

Last week I attended the annual conference of the North American Simulation and Gaming Association. I have served on the NASAGA Board for the past six years. During that time I have served as the Chair twice and our company also has pro¬duced the annual conference.Never have I learned as much about myself at one of these conferences as I did last week. One of the things that became so clear to me last week—by the people, surroundings, and events of the conference—was the power of passion at work.I observed the passion with which many of the presenters and session leaders worked. It showed in their faces and work and, maybe more importantly, in the results they achieved in helping others learn mo

As soon as you have people to manage, the most important skill you need to learn is how to look after them.
Every business owner or manager I have coached say their biggest challenge is the people that work for them.
There are many reasons for this including hiring the wrong people to begin with and the most common being the owner/manager themselves... they haven't developed the skills on being a masterful manager.
WHAT THE BOSS WANTS
1. Someone who can use their initiative, make decisions in their absence and carry out tasks without supervision.
2. A person they can trust and take many of the basic administrative duties from them so the boss can spend his/her time on more important tasks.
3. A person who can organise them (and in some cases be a mind-reader).
4. An assistant who is their right-hand person and can keep everything running smoothly.
WHAT THE P.A. WANTS
1. A boss who they can communicate with.
2. A boss who understands that when they are given tasks to do, although they may have taken 2 minutes to discuss, could take the P.A. 2 days to complete with all the interruptions they have from others.
3. A boss who realises that the P.A. is a person who has to do many tasks as well as answering all the phone calls and often has many interruptions in their day which can cause them to get very behind with their work.
4. A boss who is appreciative of them and realises that the P.A. does have a life outside of work and needs to have time-out just like they do.
5. To be recognised on a regular basis that they are important. They also need to be remunerated for their valuable contribution and should have regular performance appraisals and be offered incentives.
THE FINAL WORD
When employing a personal assistant make sure they are the right fit. If you're looking for someone who can be extremely flexible in their hours and can come in early and stay late, then make sure that person is in the right personal situation to do that. Using our invaluable tool Hiring the Right People can save you time, money and stress before you go through the process.
Employing people is a skill in itself. Keeping them happy so that they will be an important part of your business is another story. That's why knowing how to plan and use your time effectively is a high priority. If you're too busy being busy, you will completely overlook the areas of your business which need your attention and
