Managers Behavior And Productivity

World Economic Forum Annual Meeting Davos 2008Image by World Economic Forum via FlickrNo organizations are free of issues like how to increase productivity, and maintain work place enjoyment. This article addresses the labor component of productivity and how best to motivate employees to work at high levels.

There are many factors which affect the productivity like materials quality, people skill, system & procedures, equipment & tool type, knowledge of worker, management skill, but the most important factor is attitude of superior. Appropriate leadership helps create a satisfying work environment conducive to high productivity.

Unmanaged or destructive behavior of a manager can turn the best job into a miserable one. Subordinate not only loose their productivity and creativity, sometime loose their workplace engagement as well.

Rude behavior of manager creates an atmosphere of mistrust and fear, and as a consequence has a negative impact on productivity and also increases the operational cost.

An employee, who is physically present but is under performing due to lack of inner commitment or their mental absence to his or her job, is one of the major cost elements.

What are the ways to cope up with this problem?

The simple and most power full ways are understand your subordinate; look the bright part of your subordinate rather than always finding the negatives.

Know their potential, appreciate them on their good work and the most important is "MAKE THEM FEEL".

Focus on their personal and professional balance.

Enjoy the freedom to serve others and to create a world of love and empowerment, this will create an environment of open communication and throw away fear form the work place and as a result increase the productivity.

The successful management of this process is ultimately the key to survival of any organization. It should be the concern of and a development goal for all organizational members, irrespective of their position.

The IT Helpdesk

Customer ServiceImage by mnd.ctrl via FlickrThe most import part of an IT organisation is the IT Helpdesk. The impression of the IT organisation is gained by the users experience with the IT Helpdesk. So, an IT Manager needs to ensure that those experiences are consistent, organised and favourable. Some IT Helpdesks are non technical and basically perform a call logging function for all type of user queries from a new account request to an application error. Some IT Helpdesks are highly technical and can provide a certain level of first line support such as resetting password, printer queues to basic application support such as how to set up a printer in Microsoft word.

An IT Manager wants to provide a great IT Helpdesk service to his clients and so needs to ensure the Helpdesk staff use standard processes and procedures and standard software and tools to carry our their jobs.

In addition, the Helpdesk staff need to be trained in certain areas to maintain a good service to its clients:

Customer Service Training - how to deal with clients, how to deal with complaints, how to deal with irate or abusive customers

Administrative Tasks Training - how to log the calls quickly and efficiently, how to search and provide updated to the clients on any calls logged, how to reset passwords or printer queues and so on

IT Application Training such as Microsoft Office Training, MCDST Training and more dependent on the client base they are supporting - provide specific support to resolve the client̢۪s problem at time of calling such as how to change a font in MS Word, how to create a formula in MS Excel and so on.

If all staff are trained to the same level then the clients who contact the IT Helpdesk will receive a consistent and methodical service no matter which Helpdesk Analyst they speak with when logging a support call. There will always be some staff who are more experienced than others, but the way in which they deal with the customers and assist with the resolution should be the same. This leads to client confidence that their enquiries will be dealt with in a consistent and efficient manner. At the end of the day this is the goal that an IT Manager or IT Helpdesk Manager wishes to achieve.

MLM Mailing List

A clean MLM mailing list is essential in today's internet environment. This MLM mailing list is computer maintained and is updated on a daily basis to assure you of the very latest leads for your direct-mail offers. In this case, obtaining an mlm mailing list is necessary so that you will have people to reach to offer your products to.

Mailing

Mailing lists for direct marketing purposes are often used for catalog distribution. Mailing leads are lists of people's profiles that include their demographics, buying behavior, product consumption, and more. Mailing list companies can help you in marketing your business may it be online or offline. Mailing list companies have several lists to choose from. The end result of many, though, is an MLM Mailing list. So what is a good MLM mailing list.

Lists

Beware of using unscrubbed address lists that may provide you with addresses to which you can send information or advertisements. Usually it will come from a legitimate MLM business that offers the service of producing lists. And not all lists are created equal, so you need to exercise caution when mailing your offers out. Now if using MLM mailing lists is the way that you want to build your MLM business than okay. And this is what you need to keep in mind when you're researching which MLM type mailing lists to buy.

Leads

Leads vendors tend to develop generic lists of MLM leads where those people may end up being contacted by dozens of MLM marketers, plus they may not be new leads. A good method of coming up with a consistent source of leads is through an MLM Mailing List. Yet, how do you know that those MLM leads are quality leads. If they are not the best quality, do you have what it takes to make those leads work for your business. Generating your own MLM leads means that you are going to be able to tailor your leads to your specific MLM business. Make sure the questions allow you to sort your MLM leads easily, so that you can qualify and disqualify your MLM leads in a simple manner.

Every name and address on our direct mail MLM mailing list is a qualified income opportunity seeker. Now this isn't a matter of protecting you from getting taken for a money ride when you are told that your MLM mailing list is the best one out there and that it will lead to many sales and distributor enrollments. You have to establish a system that would allow you to follow up on your leads, and this is why an MLM mailing list is of utmost importance to your campaign. An MLM mailing list is a database of the contact details of the leads you manage to generate for your business.

Personal Bankruptcy

An example of street markets accepting credit cardsImage via Wikipedia by: Stephen Snyder

Personal bankruptcy? Kiss your dream job good bye...

For quite some time, it's been standard for financial, gaming and government employees to have their credit reports checked by their employers. After all, we don't want criminals working in the government (insert your favorite joke here).

But now, the "Credit Police" are infiltrating other industries as well.

And what really irks me is, they don't have the guts to just come out and say "We don't want people with bad credit working for us."

No, instead they're using September 11th (911) and an increase in workplace violence as an excuse to check our credit reports. That's pretty low.

Recently, pre-employment screening agencies have noticed a surge in requests for full background checks, which can investigate credit reports as well as criminal records, driving records, and employment and education history.

Alert Staffing reports that about 50 to 70 percent of all companies currently review credit reports, which not only reveal bankruptcies but also liens, judgments, and loan and credit card payment history.

Many companies simply believe that trustworthiness and creditworthiness go hand in hand. Personally, I think that's a crock! I know lots of rich people with high credit scores, who I wouldn't trust to watch Sparky, my pet goldfish, not to mention my money. On the other hand, I can list hundreds of people who've filed bankruptcy and have poor credit scores, who I'd trust my life with. However, most business owners believe how we handle things in our personal lives is a sign of how we would manage a company's assets.

Employers want to know whether a potential employee will be a security risk, subject to bribery, and willing to give unauthorized individuals access to company information. In fact, a friend of mine who used to work at one of the national credit reporting agencies tells me they were always investigating their employees, because of the fear employees might take money to change credit reports. He tells me it was common to see people escorted out of the building by security after they were busted.

The bottom line is that some employers believe that bad credit shows little responsibility and little regard for secrets. But, believe it or not, there's some good news in all this. First of all, the bankruptcy code (even after the recent changes to the law) prohibits employers from discriminating against applicants solely because of the bankruptcy. Also, job applicants and employees up for promotion are not obligated to tell a potential or current employer about their bankruptcy.

So, what should you do when you apply for a new job after you've filed bankruptcy? I usually recommend two strategies: For jobs where you know your credit will be reviewed, be upfront and honest about your bankruptcy, and the circumstances that caused it. Honesty is a powerful tool for getting what you want after bankruptcy.If you're applying for a job that you aren't sure whether or not they will review your credit, make them love you first...then during the second or third interview explain what happened. Let's call this strategy "delayed candor." :-) We all know that bankruptcies aren't always caused by financial irresponsibility. Don't underestimate your potential employer's ability to understand your situation.

In such a credit-conscious climate, one of your best weapons is to know your rights. While employers can legally terminate or deny a job or promotion to those with bad credit, Section 525 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code prohibits discrimination based solely on bankruptcy.

Furthermore, Sections 604, 606, and 615 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act require employers to follow a very specific set of rules in order to review your credit reports.

First, they must notify you in writing that your credit may be used in the job evaluation and obtain your written authorization before pulling your credit reports. But remember, sometimes they'll "notify" you in the fine print! In other words, they'll "tell" you without really "telling" you—if you know what I mean. So make sure you always read the fine print on all those forms the human resources person hands you during the interview.

Second, if your employer or potential employer sees something on your credit reports that may cause them to not hire you or fire you, they must send you a "pre-adverse action disclosure." (That sounds worse than a subpoena—doesn't it?) But the pre-adverse action disclosure is actually your friend. It gives you time and an opportunity to fix incorrect information on your credit reports. However, the burden is on you to act fast.

If an employer fires you because of information on your credit reports, they must provide you with an "adverse action notice." The notice should contain contact information for the credit reporting agency supplying the report. It should also specify that you have the right to dispute the accuracy or completeness of any information the reporting agency furnished and request an additional free report within 60 days.

OK, how do you prove if you were discriminated against because of a bankruptcy on your credit reports?

Well, it ain't easy!

The chances for successful legal recourse are better if the only negative item on your credit report is bankruptcy. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to prove you have been discriminated against because of your bankruptcy and not your bad credit.

The truth is, if an employer doesn't want to hire you because of the bankruptcy on your credit reports, then it's pretty easy for them to claim they didn't hire you for another reason. But if an employer offers you the job and then rescinds it, and the background check shows all high marks except the bankruptcy, your chances of mounting a successful case increase. Bottom line: If the ONLY negative item on your credit reports is a bankruptcy, you have a better chance of getting the job than you do if you have lots of other negative items on your credit reports.

This is why it's so important to make sure you get copies of all three of your credit reports. Review them carefully and if there are any inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, unverifiable, or outdated items on your reports, get them taken off. I suggest you use an attorney who specializes in credit law. It costs a few dollars—but I think the end results are worth it. The law firm I used was a life saver.
