An Employee Handbook is an important resource tool in ensuring employee accountability and legal compliance, introducing your organization’s service philosophy, and ensuring consistency in the way internal processes and procedures are applied. In developing Employee Handbooks for companies great and small, I have realized that there are seven essential sections that an effective Employee Handbook must have. They include:

1. Your Service Philosophy – This includes information about the Company’s Vision, Mission, Values and/or Standard of Excellence. It gives employees an understanding of where the company is going, how it will get there, and how they can contribute to organizational success.
2. What Employees Can Expect from You – Topics covered in this section should include information about the Probationary or Orientation Period; the New Employee Orientation Process; On-the-Job Training; Performance Appraisals; Merit or Annual Wage Increases; the Job Transfer and Promotion Process; information on Internal Employee Communications like Departmental Meetings; and your Workplace Safety & Security Procedures.
3. Policy on Harassment & Professional Conduct – This section should outline the company’s position when it comes to the prevention of Sexual Harassment and Workplace Discrimination; the consequences of violating company policy; and what to do if an employee feels they are a victim of harassment in the workplace.
4. Benefits & Compensation Procedures – This section should cover what is most important to employees, which includes how and when they will be compensated; how often salary increases are awarded; and the process for taking time off from work for vacation, sick, personal time, bereavement, holidays, or jury duty. It should also share information about employment classifications, as well as work scheduling and exchanging shifts.
5. Company Standards – This area should contain all the miscellaneous standards and procedures that employees need to be aware of like the company’s attendance guidelines; employee meal breaks; grooming and appearance standards; the use of company computers, telephones, and facilities; the policy concerning solicitation in the workplace.

Parents are responsible for the welfare of their children. One of the ways through which they can show this responsiveness is by them opening investment accounts for their children. This article seeks to explain reasons why it is necessary to open an investment account for any child.

Since the purpose of opening investment accounts for children is to instill in them financial discipline, it is very important for children to engage in this process. This is of great importance since children don’t need to feel as though the concept of saving is mandatory.

Opening an account for your child should not be hurriedly done. This is so because there are many factors which both the parent and child should put into consideration. Parents have to clearly assess their own financial status to decide how best to support their child in this rewarding venture.

Worth noting is that any child can have an account opened for them. It is important for parents to have a certain percentage of their income or earnings dedicated towards saving for their child’s future.

The main reasons behind opening an account for a child are many and they include the need to enable children learn the principle of “sowing and reaping” at an early age.

To enable children feel that the bank account is for their own good, parents can do the following:

1. Explain to the child why it is necessary for them to have an account.
2. Discuss with the child the banking requirements.
3. Allow children to choose the bank of their choice based on information you give them.
4. Establish from them why they have settled for that particular bank.

We can learn a lot about people by reading their comments and posts on the many different social media sites. This is something that can be a good thing – or a bad thing – depending on who is reading and why.

If you are a business owner, like I am, this can be extremely helpful or hurtful. Whether we like it or not, we ARE the business. What we do and say is a representation of ourselves, obviously. But it is also a representation of your professionalism and trust. Just how important is this?

As the owner of a turnkey business package, we can find a lot about the people who are interested in become a part of our organization. If they are on any social media sites, we are able to get a glimpse of how they will represent our brand if we choose to do business together.

We don’t have to find people who are in total agreement with our thought processes, political views or other opinions (in fact we prefer differences of opinion). And we are not prudes. But we do need to be concerned how people who become a part of our company will be viewed in the virtual world as well as in person. Are their comments offensive? Are they full of language that most people would not appreciate? Would they be a good representative of our brand?

On the other side of the issue is how people feel when they check out the business owner. Will they want to do business with us? If we want to share our love for our favorite college football team, discuss our political views, complain about some lousy service we just received or comment about a controversial issue, we can. But it’s important to remember to do it professionally and politely.

Have you created a marketing plan for your Website? If not, it is time to think about developing one. An Internet marketing plan helps you make the right day-to-day and long term decisions. Without a marketing plan it is more likely your Website will be a drain on finances rather than a business builder.

Creating a marketing plan need not be scary or difficult. It does not require a marketing degree or a lot of experience. You do, however, need to put some quality time into writing your plan. There are different ways to write a marketing plan one of which is to create a marketing plan outline (or single summary page) through a five step process.

You will need information about your company, competitors, customers, and other industry players to reference while creating the plan.

From this information, you can complete industry and SWOT analyses as well as identify your target customers.

Step 2: Verbalize your main challenge(s).

Write down the main Internet related challenges you want to overcome as a result of your plan. Referring to these main challenges will help keep you focused while creating your marketing plan You may even want to write your challenges down in question form – “How do we _____________?”. When your marketing plan is completed, it will answer the question “How do I address these challenges?”
