Like with any company or organization, regardless of the industry, culture and teamwork go hand in hand when discussing the overall health of the company. With that said, what do you when one of your top performers doesn’t get along with the rest of your team? They bring in the most sales but tend to butt heads with everyone. Honestly, the most simple solution may also be the hardest; if your top performer is causing a toxic or hostile work environment, they need to go.
In need of a change of scenery or looking to head down a new career path in 2019? While wages and location can be key factors in determining where you may end up, job satisfaction should also be taken into account. Considering the average worker spends around 30% of their lives at work, the expectation should be to at least somewhat enjoy what you do for a living.

We’ve all had them; managers or supervisors that struggle with anger management issues, those who can’t handle stressful situations and those who tend to take out their frustrations on their employees. It is also no surprise that any one of these characteristics in the workplace can be detrimental to the health and well being of individuals and the team as a whole.
Was the last time you heard the phrase “Professional Development Day” in relation to teachers training while students had the day off? Shouldn’t we all take a day away from our primary responsibilities to refresh our skills and cross train with our peers? Absolutely!
While it may seem nearly impossible to pull your staff away from their day to day duties, the growth and development could be priceless for your organization. Partnering seasoned staff members with those who are new to the organization or even from different departments, can be great way to gain new insights, ideas, and processes.
Here are just a few of the benefits of getting your team together for some training refreshers:
Training and employee development can be performed as formally or informally as you see fit and can be achieved with very little financial investment. The key components to hosting a successful staff development day are having a well planned and organized agenda outlining what areas you hope to cover and what objectives you have to accomplish. Be sure to consider your audience and set clear expectations for everyone who will be joining on what they should bring, what they should prepare for, and any topics that they should be prepared to speak on.

Do you find yourself struggling to find a fair balance between your work and your personal life? You are far from alone. Changes to the traditional workforce following the recent recession, have resulted in employees handling more of a workload than their roles had required in the past.
Employees who struggle to find balance between their professional and personal lives can suffer from poor work performance, stress, exhaustion, illness, and depression. Often times employees who are unhappy with the balance between their work and personal lives are likely to experience turnover in their careers. Finding a suitable balance for yourself and your employer may be easier to do than you think. Here are a few tips to get you started:
While admitting to yourself and others that you cannot do everything is difficult, the ramifications of a poor work-life balance can be far worse. Be honest with those around you about what you are available for and accept the things that you cannot handle at the moment. Remember to take time for yourself. Most positions provide vacation or personal time off, taking the time off that you have earned is important and can allow you to return to work refreshed and refocused.
