I would have to say -- just say no-- if no one eats her goodies, she'll get the message.

We have specific training requirements in Calfironia that you might not have, but some good audit practices are determining your exposure by listing federal and state laws which apply to your organization, prioritizing training needs by the type and…

We have two professional (exempt) women in our office who job share. This has worked pretty well - the only issue that really has come up is managing the communications that each job sharer has with other employees. It is hard for the job sharers to…

We have two trashcans in each workspace -- one for recycling and one for "other". We recycle several tons of material every month that would have otherwise gone into the trash. We also recycle packaging material to a vendor that gives us a materials…

We have a policy that no food may be consumed in production areas for safety reasons, and to ensure that we do not have a pest problem on the floor. We do not have the same rule in office space, since the office areas are private, and pests have not…

There are a few that I can think of, some offered by ASHHRA, depending on exactly what type of training topics you need, go to http://www.ashhra.org/ashhra/about/index.html. BLR also has some prepackaged training materials for healthcare, mostly rel…

Sounds like the employee took FML leave and has returned to a modified postion/light duty for her certified serious health condition (or possibly a disability). If this is so, you should think about state and federal disability law too. I can tel…

Since the training requirement is 2 hours of training every 2 years (for supervisors), and all new supervisors within 6 months of hire/promotion, we decided to buy a computer-based training program (from BLR at this website). If you are out of sta…
