A seal is a small press into which a document is placed to be embossed. The imprint made by the seal shows the name, date, and state incorporated. Seals used to be mandatory in all states, but are now optional in some. However, most corporations choose to maintain the use of a seal, especially in legal documents, as a sign of authority and as a matter of formality.Corporate seals are essential when opening corporate or LLC bank accounts, distributing stock or membership certificates or in any other corporate business activities. Active filings in LLCs include a cust

Here are a few preventative measures you can take to ensure you remain healthy and happy at work.

Last year the show was an absolute success. There was representation of brands from all over the globe. Every year the expo receives thousands of buyers and sellers from all over the world. An interesting fact about the show, almost 50% of all exhibitors are foreign.It is expected that this year over 60% of all visitors will come to the show looking to fulfill their food service needs, searching for everything from equipment to the basic ingredients. I am sure this year's visitors will be very pleased. This expo is bringing many buyers. You will find products from b
Have you ever experienced headaches, respiratory infections, asthma or fatigue? Do these ailments occur at work? What happens when you go on holiday or at the weekends, do they still occur or do they miraculously disappear?
You’ll often find people’s desk drawers contain a variety of pills and potions to alleviate the ailments they experience at work.
John’s Story
John commenced work in a large open plan office a few months ago. He had been promoted from Team Leader in another division to the Manager of this new department. Since that time he has been continually unwell. He went on holiday for two weeks and all his ailments disappeared. A week later he returned to work and again he became sick. This of course greatly affected his productivity because when you feel unwell you don’t feel like doing much work…no matter how motivated you usually are.
Further investigation revealed that absenteeism in this department was high. People would often be away sick. John discovered the whole office had not had a thorough clean in two years…the carpet needed steam cleaning, the blinds had spider webs and thick dust, the partitions which divided the workstations had never been vacuumed.
John immediately organised for the entire office to be cleaned from floor to ceiling. I also suggested that he contact the local nursery to install plants in specific areas. Not only do plants make the environment look good, they assist with air filtration.
When I spoke to John again, he said he was feeling much better… and so did many of his colleagues!
Robyn’s Story
Robyn is the Human Resources Manager in a computer company. She began experiencing bad asthma attacks since moving to her open plan area.
She discovered that the office partitions had never been cleaned since their installation many years ago. The dust was exacerbating her condition. She has since had them thoroughly cleaned and her asthma has subsided!
Sally’s Story
At an on-site workshop I ran for a telecommunications company, one of the participants told us that her previous employer made a cost-cutting decision – to remove all the plants from the office. They had a contract with a plantscaping organisation and thought this would be an easy way to save money.
Within 6 weeks there was a noticeable increase in absenteeism through sickness. (And there wasn’t a flu epidemic at that time).
Save Time, Save Money, Save Yourself
If you want to save time and money and most importantly your health, look at the environment you work in.
Check out some of these areas and ask yourself or whoever is the most appropriate person: When was the last time the following was cleaned and is there an ongoing maintenance programme ?

I’ve had the pleasure and honor to meet some of the world’s greatest leaders and leadership gurus, from Sir Richard Branson, General Tommy Franks, and Captain Mike Abrashoff to Dr. Warren Bennis, Dr. Henry Mintzberg, and Tom Peters. And I get paid to do it! Through our work with Linkage Inc., we help support their broadcasts of these famous people by designing and developing participant and facilitator guides that many clients use to turn a 90-minute presentation into a true learning and growth opportunity.I recently had the opportunity to meet with Marshall Golds

As a consultant, I’m always trying to find ways to provide better service to my clients along with delivering more value for what they pay me. Whether it is a little piece of advice that helps in an area on the periphery of the services I provide or connecting a client with a resource totally unrelated, the focus is always on giving the customer what they need. That got me to thinking about what the customer could do in return to ensure a win-win relationship with consultants or any service provider.Here are five unquestionable ways to becoming a great client:

My husband's car has had a few mechanical problems this year. It's a few years old and is at that stage where little things need replacing. In fact we found it's got to the point where he needs to buy a new one.Anyhow it reminded me of what happened earlier in the year when it was taken to our local mechanic for another repair job . At the time of pick up, Robert the mechanic said he hadn't prepared the bill and will do so later and let us know how much it would be. After 3 weeks, we still hadn't received the invoice and my husband suggested I chase it up and I

The Final Word
When you’re busy being busy, you often overlook the little things that make a huge impact on your productivity.
You have every right to work in a safe and healthy environment. If "the powers to be" are serious about the health and welfare of their employees then these issues need to be addressed.
If no-one will to take responsibility and the appropriate action, then you take control and do what you can yourself. After all if you're not prepared to look after yourself, don't expect others to do so.
Have a great week
