The Key to Avoiding Turnovers

Hi Again!   Jaime Marie here, ready to talk through one BIG struggle many companies seem to have. New employees coming and going, always having to “show the ropes” to fresh faces.

David Macleod, founder of ‘Engage for Success’ says, “This is about how we create the conditions in which employees offer more of their capability and potential”.

Hello, Readers!   Don’t you love reminiscing about old times? Those experiences shared with parents, siblings, neighborhood pals or even simply classmates throughout the years. Many may say they distinctively recall going to work with their parent once or twice throughout their schooling careers… With the school year quickly approaching, parents everywhere are scrambling to get all the correctly colored back-to-school supplies to launch their children off to a great start. Today, in honor of all the chaos associated with the school year commencing, I’m touching on the topic of “Bring Your Child to Work Day.”   Does it Even Matter to the Kids?   Being the youngest of my siblings, my mom was back to working part-time by the time I was in pre-school. I would go to the AM session at school, and then she’d pick me up and bring me to work with her. She does ultrasounds…read more...

Staying Fashionable While Staying on Task

Hello, Hello!  Fashion! From top hats to jumpsuits, I’m obsessed with it all. If I were to make a list of my five favorite things in life, “fashion” would make the cut. Hello again, Jaime Marie here, thrilled to be writing to you all about one of my biggest passions: Fashion in the work place. Trends Are Meant to Change: How Did We Get Here?  Americans began the 20th century in bustles and bowler hats, and ended it in velour sweat suits and flannel shirts.
