Lease Or Buy - Which Way For Office Equipment Procurement?
On the subject of how best to acquire office equipment and supplies, for the small to medium sized business enterprise the first step must always be to contact a financial adviser to discuss how best to make the acquisition. In this summary, however, I offer some pointers to outline possible routes to a cost-effective acquisition. Outright purchase or leasing are broadly speaking, the usual choices, with hire-purchase schemes making a third route to explore.

I left Rick's office deep in thought about my own future. I realized that the responsibility for creating job security lies not only with the company. It's up to us as employees, as well, to build confidence to help deal with the changing realities of the modern workplace.

Will Your Children Own Their Genes?
The completion of the Human Genome Project was greeted with much enthusiasm and many hopes for a bright future pregnant with new possibilities. Currently incurable diseases would be detected early enough and would be prevented before they developed. Damaged organs would be replaced with brand new cloned organs perfectly compatible with our bodies as these organs would be specially grown out of our own stem cells. Our children would be healthier and would liv

This article relates to the Job Security competency, commonly evaluated in employee satisfaction surveys. This competency evaluates how your employees view their job security within your organization. In today's often volatile or contingent labor market, it's crucial to understand the level of security your employees feel about maintaining their jobs. Studies show that employees who do not feel secure in their jobs are less likely to be committed to best assisting customers. Evaluating this competency can be especially useful if your organization has suffered recent layoffs or firings.

This short narrative, The Responsibility for Job Security, is part of AlphaMeasure's compilation, Tales from the Corporate Frontlines. It tells the story of two employees with two completely different ideas of what to expect from their company in terms of employment security.

Our company had just finished the second round of layoffs in a single year. The mood throughout the building was depressing. Several of the affected employees were long timers. I knew them well, had partied with them on social occasions and played with them on the company softball team.

I decided to visit them, to say goodbye and good luck. Not a happy task, but one that I felt compelled to do out of a sense of loyalty, and a small amount of survivor guilt.

First, I headed for Mike's office. I noticed that he was packing. He leaned over a box, staring silently at the contents. He looked up at me with sorrow, fear, and confusion. As I stood next to him, Mike told me how shocked he was that he'd been chosen. Always a model employee, with tons of knowledge and talent, he never thought this would happen. He wasn't bitter or angry, but couldn't help asking himself what he'd done wrong.

I didn't know what to say, except that I was sure there was nothing - these things had to be random...conversation got awkward, and I wished him luck and moved on.

When I reached Rick's office, things looked different. His personal belongings were already packed. He smiled at me and asked if I had time to sit. I offered my regrets. Rick looked at me, clear-eyed and calm. He told me that it was okay, really. One door closes, another opens. The world and its economy are changing so quickly...how can any job last forever?

Rick wasn't afraid, he told me, because he was confident in the skills he'd built while working at the company. He'd received plenty of training. Rick had been promoted twice, and he'd completed his degree using the company paid tuition assistance program. He felt confident that his next career move would be a step up. He understood that the layoff was not his fault; it was merely an unavoidable business decision. He appreciated all the support and security the company had provided for ten years, and used it to build his confidence in his own abilities.

Hello, May I Help You?
There is nothing in this world more annoying than being place on hold for an extended period of time. Not only is the music mostly horrible, but many companies use it to try and fool you into thinking you're really not holding for very long. Wrong! Most telephones today have the ability to track the time of the call. Really, now, don't you think being placed on hold for five minutes while listening to the Muzak version of "Copa Cabana" is a bit much?

Print ads generally have four written parts: headline, support copy, call to action, company name and a visual. Visuals are usually more important than copy because they're more effective in attracting readers' attention and can instantly present your product or service in a dramatic and motivating way.

Security and fire protection are often viewed as a grudge purchase and there is a temptation to keep the cost of such a service to a minimum. Our insatiable demand for cheap solutions often encourages us to turn a blind eye to the negatives of taking this direction, making us vulnerable to the approaches of poor quality and unscrupulous service providers.
