- Workplace Solutions - February 2010
Leveraging our individual talent and the collective talent of the organization seems to be an on-going challenge whether in a good economy or bad. The Comeback Kids offers tips and perspectives for those making decisions to remain in the workplace rather than retire, retirees who may be looking to supplement their income and those who need to re-evaluate their situation in light of workforce downsizings. Going Through a Phase acknowledges that what we want from our lives and work changes over time, naturally evolving the value proposition that we expect at various phases of our lives. And finally, we remind employers how critical it is to keep the focus on talent retention even in a slow recovery.
- Workplace Solutions - January 2010
While a number of us had high hopes of imminent retirement, the events of the last few years may have reshaped our original plans. For those of us who need to continue working or for those fortunate enough to have a passion for their work, we are focusing this month on performance - how we can continue to meet ever-changing performance standards and be recognized for our on-going contributions to the workplace.
- Workplace Solutions - December 2009
In the spirit of the Holidays, this month we want to acknowledge the diverse ways and reasons for our seasonal celebrations.

And finally, as we face a new year, we offer encouragement about how we, as individuals, can shape the world around us by acting with character in every aspect of our lives.
- Workplace Solutions - November 2009
With the Thanksgiving holiday fast approaching, we will all be thinking about home and family, especially their comfort and support. In addition to our national observance of family caregivers throughout the month of November, we’ve provided a reminder for employers of the FMLA regulations that went into effect earlier this year. Just as our families offer us a sense of security, so too do employees look to their employers for stability. Wisdom Worker Solutions offers suggestions for how to create a culture that brings out the best in your employees. And as we near the end of another year, we offer a potential look at changes that will be reshaping our business environments and encourage proactive employers to start morphing their culture to respond.
- Workplace Solutions - October 2009
October is a month filled with national and local observances. So rather than having an overarching theme this month, we’ve taken our cues from today’s headlines. Our article on the value of volunteerism is our homage to Make a Difference Day. In Walking a Fine Line we offer suggestions for addressing the potential threat from the H1N1 virus, furthering Health Literacy efforts. And the month’s emphasis on the employment of those with disabilities is the focus of our article revisiting the dilemmas and opportunities when hiring and retaining this valuable segment of the workforce.
- Workplace Solutions - September 2009
Once again we’re headed for another Fall; a transitional season to help us acclimate from the heat of summer to the cold of winter. So we felt a fitting theme for our September newsletter was change. Read about the adaptability skills of each of the four generations in the workplace. Learn about the history of women of achievement and how organizations can leverage their diverse employees. And discover the resources available to leaders should they encounter alcohol or drug related issues in the workplace.
- Workplace Solutions - August 2009
For nearly two years, we have been bombarded by a landslide of bad news and leaders setting the expectation that the economic turnaround would be long in coming. So this month, we wanted to focus on recovery and suggesting that we turn our hesitation and caution into a focus on planning and preparation. We offer tips for keeping the organization healthy, like how to re-engage employees through the power of relationships
and organizational practices that may unearth the next best thing since sliced bread.
- Workplace Solutions - July 2009
As we celebrate our independence, made possible by the courage of our Founding Fathers, there probably isn’t a more fitting theme for our July newsletter than Leadership. We’ll help you identify the critical competencies experts suggest future leaders develop now, how you can manage the desired impact you have as a leader and how top executives can create an organizational culture of health and productivity.
- Workplace Solutions - June 2009
As companies and employees continue to adjust to the changes in the workplace and realities of the labor market, we’ve focused this month on helping organizations manage various aspects of an employee’s life cycle. June is also Safety and Home Safety month. Warnings about using sunscreen and handling fireworks carefully might pale in relation to the recent pandemic concerns but we urge you not to ignore the hazards close to home as we rush to embrace summer. Organizations might also take this time to spring clean their facilities and review how safe and secure their workplace is for their employees and all who visit their work sites.
- Workplace Solutions - May 2009
Since the financial crises began, we’ve been adjusting our own personal finances, our career paths and other life decisions. This month we want to highlight resources for both individuals and organizations to support the quality of their on-going workplace and life decisions. Learn the key elements of the Recovery Act, how to support our military as they return to civilian life and how we can become better consumers of healthcare benefits. Finally, jump on the hottest trend by connecting with friends, family and colleagues on an on-line social network.
