Suffusion theme, CommentLuv Premium, live chat, oh my.

New Blog Theme After what seems like forever, the EffortlessHR blog has a new theme (Suffusion). For your enjoyment and to be forever archive, the blog looked like this before:  CommentLuv Premium If you don’t know what CommentLuv is, then you are in for a treat. To keep it short: each time you comment, you can choose to link directly to one of YOUR blog posts. This is great for SEO and really encourages discussion. Since we love spreading the love around, if you Tweet, Like on Facebook, or Google +1 the post, your link will also be dofollow (followed by search engines — a good thing). An example of CommentLuv Premium is below: Live Chat For those of you [...]

If You Don't Own a Circus... You Shouldn't Be Hiring Clowns!

You’ll find essential tools that include checklists, tips, sample forms and letters, charts of important legal [...]

There are so many options available during this difficult economic time to reduce costs. Trying to make the right decision regarding which way to go can be daunting. So many companies are making decisions that while thought to be short term, have long term effects. So every decision has to count! With the internet, however, there are lots of ways a company can outsource functions without giving up control. In the past, if you were outsourced, you were transferring oversight to a third party.

 Employee Policies  2 Responses »
Jun 302009
 

Over the years, as I consulted with small businesses, I was often asked if an employee handbook was necessary. The questions usually amounted to: – the cost of having an employee handbook written, – the number of employees (I only have one employee), – the idea that having written policies would cause more problems than not having written policies, and – I tell the employee everything they need to know and if they have a question they can come and ask me. Handbooks are not required as a regulation or law. However, some laws and regulations require posting in the place of business – for example Minimum Wage. The way handbooks are written could be a deterrent, i.e. if it [...]
