When Work-From-Home Can Help Your Business
Normally work-from-home policies are tight at small and large companies alike. But would a winter like this one be enough to change employers' minds? At GiftCard Partners, we all work from home every day, and while we understand that doesn't work for everyone, here's a compelling case for a work-from-home policy that allows employees flexibility and employers increased productivity. Here's a weather-related take on employees working from home:
Training to Promote Workplace Safety
Workplace safety programs can save your company untold sums of money. The larger your workforce the more important it is to ensure the safety of your workplace. An innovative new wave in safety training is emerging that makes your workplace actively prepared for any situation that could arise. Using basic employee training in CPR, AED use and first aid can mitigate safety incidents by empowering employees to "take matters into their own hands." Employees who volunteer to be trained from the American Red Cross deserve recognition from their employers. While the skills are equally valuable to the employer and the employee, it is up to an employer to recognize employees who are willing to step up to make their workplace a better place. Rewards for employee recognition do not need to be large lavish vacations, or even days off. Employees who choose these types of added responsibilities should only need a pat on the back. Try small denomination gift cards from popular brands like
Crutchfield to help them spruce up their home,
Boston Market to treat employee's families to dinner or
Speedway to help them curb the rising cost of the fuel that likely helps them get to work in the morning. Dedicated employees will dedicate themselves to safety. Make sure you take the opportunity to say thank you.
