Workplace Compliance: Health Check Analysis

In 2008, a harassment case resulted in an $18 million verdict against a large California company.

Is Your Company at Legal Risk?

It is a fact that when the economy hits a downturn, employee lawsuits increase substantially (as much as 20% per the EEOC).

For companies in California with more than 50 employees, 2009 is a compliance-training year.

Why? In 2005, California's AB1825 became law.

This law requires all managers/supervisors to take a two-hour training program every two years to prevent illegal sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation. It also requires all new managers/supervisors to take this same training within six months of their hire or promotion date. (CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 12940-12951).

Who knows? Taking 5 minutes to complete this confidential and complimentary AB1825 Compliance Health Check could save you $18 million.

Can Your Leaders Weather the Storm and Come Out Stronger?

Now is when Leadership really matters.

In difficult times, leaders should have the skills and knowledge to not only weather the storm, but to help you and your company come out of the storm two times faster and two times stronger than your competition.

From our perspective, this means effectively and efficiently moving key strategies forward that significantly increase revenue and decrease costs.

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to design, deliver, implement, and measure leadership programs that:

  1. Do not hinder cash flow and pay for themselves
  2. Provide measurable business returns
  3. Deliver on your company's top priorities
This is not about "training." This is about running your business to weather the storm and come out stronger and faster than your competitors.

Does Your Leadership Program Stack Up?

Is a $13 million dollar return realistic for a one-year Leadership Development Program?

It certainly sounds far fetched. Yet those numbers are real. It just happened. Done right, it could also happen for you.

Many profess wonderful results from action learning leadership programs. When we looked closer however, the majority of the results were fuzzy at best.

Done right, Leadership Development should build current leaders. Done right, Leadership Development should build future leaders. Done right, Leadership Development should deliver tangible business results.

8 Steps to Recession Proof Selling

What the heck is going on? Each day seems to bring dire news of additional layoffs, missed forecasts, and unpredictable weather ahead.

With little visibility, many of our clients are certainly being cautious with a strong emphasis on increasing revenue, cutting costs, and doing more with less.

While companies that face failure must do what it takes to cut costs, we believe that you cannot "save your way to success." In order to succeed, companies must grow top line sales revenue and do more with less.

Top line business sales growth can and does occur during a recession. What are you doing to ensure that it happens for you?
