| I.D CARDS FOR THE WORKPLACE | | 2008-07-11 15:25:00 | | I always think its important that you can feel safe in your own work environment. Especially when you work in an office that is open to the public.Alot of offices have people come and go all the time, and if your a large company your not going to know every single person that works there.That's why i think I.D Cards are important. As a safety measure this is crucial that you know the identity of someone.Its also great for the public to know your identity. After all they are the ones coming to you for the service, and have a right to know who they are talking to.Every workplace should have them really. I just think its alot more professional.It's like the thought - you wouldn't deal with someone who wore trainers and jeans for business would you!?You can get some great id card printing systems set up for all kinds of things. It's not just for office. It could be membership cards, gift cards or even business cards.The company is called I.D Card solutions. You can visit their online stor... | | By: Mummy Diaries | | |

George Orwell’s SF novel is not scientific fiction any longer. High technologies are used as a weapon of capital to control the workplace and watch over workers. In spite of the downturn in the IT industry, the market for electrical surveillance systems of workers enjoys an unprecedented boom, as a goose that lays golden eggs.
With the development of the high-tech industry, the surveillance costs less and less, is easier to use than before, and the surveillance is implemented in a covert way. The capitalists introduced a variety of surveillance system, without the knowledge of workers or against their will, on the pretext that the system will protect workers. However, the real intrusion is simple: to control the workers.

| 9 workplace myths | | 2007-05-19 09:58:50 | | 1. You’ll be happier if you have a job you like.
The correlation between your happiness and your job is overrated. The most important factors, by far, are your optimism levels and your personal relationships. If you are a pessimist, a great job can’t overcome that. (Think of the jerks at the top.) And if you have great friends and family, you can probably be happy even if you hate your job (imagine a garbage collector who’s in love).
2. Job-hopping will hurt you.
Job hopping is one of the best ways to maintain passion and personal growth in your caeers. And here’s some good news for hoppers: Most people will have eight jobs between the time they are eighteen and thirty. This means most young workers are job hopping. So hiring managers have no choice but to hire job hoppers. Ride this wave and try a lot of jobs out yourself.
3. The glass ceiling still exists.
The glass ceiling is over, not because people crashed through, but because people are not looking up. Life above the glas... | | By: Kopitiam.SG | | |

| Worker Variation (Capability) in the Workplace | | 2007-04-11 15:32:00 | | In reading Dr. Deming’s work, The New Economics for Industry, Government, and Education (ORDER IT! http://www.amazon.com/New-Economics-Industry-Government-Education/dp/0262541165 ) for the third time a continuously recurring theme emerges. This should not come as a surprise to you who are familair with his work, as most of Deming’s writing is based on his principle of the system of Profound Knowledge. Deming defines his system of profound knowledge as four, all related parts: Appreciation for a System; Knowledge about Variation; Theory of Knowledge; and Psychology. The aspect of Deming's writings I want to discuss is the theme on the Knowledge about Variation, and how this theoretical principle has actual, practical application in the workplace.Deming's realization that "there will always be, between people, in output, in service, in product "(p.98) a certain level of variation, is very similar to worker capability in the workplace. In this write up I specifically want to discuss... | | By: qualityg says ... | | |

| Trombose, Workplace Health and Ergonomic Advise | | 2007-03-18 11:46:00 | | Voor veel mensen betekent werken: stress, geen tijd voor pauze, geen tijd om te eten, verkeerd zitten, te veel koffiedrinken en verkeerde snacks. Maar dat kan anders. Om optimaal te presteren (en te genieten van je werkdag) zul je andere keuzes moeten maken.Mensen die urenlang achter de computer zitten, hebben een grotere kans op trombose dan vliegtuigpassagiers. Uit onderzoek van een Nieuw-Zeelands onderzoeksinstituut blijkt dat 34 procent van de mensen die met trombose verschijnselen moeten worden opgenomen, zittend werk deden. De vliegtuigpassagiers vormen 21 procent van de trombosepatiënten.Workers who spend excessive amounts of time at their desk could be putting their lives at risk, research suggests. A recent found employers are failing to provide adequate levels of health and well-being support. It found fewer than one in five organisations conduct workplace health evaluations and fewer than half provide staff with ergonomic advice.4 Steps to Setting Up Your Computer Workstati... | | By: The Health Archive | | |
