  • I ran into similar issues when I started up the wellness program with my company.   What worked out well to kick start the program, especially weight loss and exercise was that I contacted a local gym and they offered a corporate rate to our employe…
  • I do not think it is mandatory.  However, be careful that if you do it for one employee you are setting a precident for others and you wouldn't want to be accused on not handling all severances fairly and equally.   I recommend contacting your local…
  • Maybe you could start off small.    See if facility manager will approve doing it one Friday a month and put the guidelines in place.   Employees could also be required to wear a company shirt in order to maintain a level of professionalism on blue …
  • We have a wellness program in place and I have not been able to capture hard dollars but I have been able to see a noticable improvement in our morale.   I also note that it is great assistance in the recruitment process and declined useage of sick …
  • I work for a small company too and I have found that local gyms, chiropractors and health food stores love to get involved.    Many of these people offer free lunch and learn sessions, health fairs and company discount programs.
  • Here are some things that I have implemented in the workplace:  Pot Luck Luncheon Basketball tournaments  ($500 buys you to hoops and a few balls) Ping Pong table in the lunch room (we bought it used for $50 and they LOVE it) Adopt a cause and parti…
  • You should be ok.  I wouldn't worry about it because it is a subjective question.
  • This is a tough position to be in.    If you just can't do it hopefully they will understand.   Whether or not they hold it against you if you try to return to working to them will depend on company practices, and the fall out from the short notice …
  • I would ask this employee for recertification because there is anallowance for this every 30 days, if you have reason to believe reason that there is abuse I believe you can request it less than every 30 days.   Double check it with the legislation …
  • It would depend on the severity of the behavior.   If it is an ongoing problem or others complain you may want to consider banning alcohol in the future.
  • I would recommend establishing a "safe" and annonymous suggestion system where employees can drop off thier ideas without fear.   It sounds like there may be an underlying morale issue that could be causing them fear that they can't speak freely.  A…
  • I have a long list of them where I work too.   It is time consuming and exhausting dealing with the issues surrounding the princesses and princes of our organization.  I treat everybody the same, it upsets the royalty in the company but I don't care…
  • This is embarassing but I think that I work for Homer Simpson some days.
  • The comment seems harmless and it didn't sound like a promise to me.
  • I have not used either of these places to look for applicants and I am not sure that it is something that I would plan to practice.  However, I have been using craigslist.org and have had incredible success.   It is free and it is a very popular sit…
  • we have water coolers with free water and a vending machine where they can buy bottled water at a reasonable price
  • Max, The next suprise element you need to spring on these employess is discipline.   It is a scarey thought that they do not take safety to heart where they won't participate in a fire drill.   Make it mandatory and if they do not comply start the p…
  • I wouldn't hold it against him.   Maybe it was a tactic to be memorable?    Immaturity is what I would chalk it up to be, it was probably a cool tie to his buddies and hasn't learned enough about the work world yet to realize it was not an appropria…
  • Pet insurance is becoming more popular in my opinion.   Many people view their pets as family members and want to take great care of them.   Vets are expensive and insurance is a great way for employers to show that they understand their needs and t…
