A Real Team Player. Not!
When someone on the team is a hold out, their LACK of involvement stands out like a bad actor in a good movie. Everybody sees it. It affects the whole team's attitude. That isn’t good.
A Real Team Player. Not! (Healthcare)
Teams are great. Unless... you have somebody on the team who just doesn't get it. Or worse - they get it, they just don't care.
Change Is Not in My Vocabulary (Healthcare)
When you're dealing with someone who has the flexibility of a fence post, we're talking about deep-rooted feelings. And sometimes, the most we can do is offer a new perspective. You know, give them something to think about and then hope for the best.
Change Is Not in My Vocabulary...
Every once in a while, you'll run into someone who thinks change is a four-letter word. They get so wrapped up in their own way of doing things that they can't - or won't - see that there might be a better way.
FMLA - Informing Employees of Their Rights & Policies
As a manager, you've got several responsibilities when it comes to the FMLA. Things like making sure your people understand their rights and responsibilities under the law; making sure they understand your organization's policies - just to name a few.
FMLA - Reduced Schedules & Leaves
One of the biggest issues that managers struggle with is the requirement to give reduced schedules or intermittent leave, especially in the case of chronic conditions, and how that may relate to the Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA. A serious health condition or disability may require an employee to work a reduced schedule.
FMLA - Returning to Work
As tempting as it may be, when an employee is on an FMLA leave, you can't demand that he or she come back to work; even if you offer to make a reasonable accommodation, like a flexible schedule or assignment to light duty work.
FMLA - What Qualifies for FMLA Leave?
You should not be the one to make a final determination on whether or not something is a "serious health condition." That should always be left to your HR department. However, you do need to have at least a working knowledge of what qualifies as a "serious health condition" and all the other reasons an employee's time off can be designated as an FMLA leave.
Non-Verbal Indicators (Behavior-Based Interviewing)
To uncover past behaviors from candidates, sometimes we need to follow "feeling" clues. Feelings point to the hidden parts of past behavior. And, of course, none of us are mind readers when it comes to reading feelings, but all of us can learn to recognize the non-verbal indicators of feelings.
Substance Abuse: Intervention
How to legally intervene when a manager suspects substance abuse.
The “Whatever” Co-Worker…
Getting people to care about things they think are "no big deal" can be a challenge. But when everybody understands how important their own contribution is – progress it what happens. More work gets done right the first time, and everybody feels good about putting the effort.
The “Whatever” Co-Worker… (Healthcare)
Getting people to care about things they think are "no big deal" can be a dance. But when everybody gets on the same page - understands how important their own contribution is – it can be amazing what happens. More work gets done right the first time, and everybody feels good about making the effort.
