3 Reasons I Love My Home-Business

Starting a home-based business was one of the best things that I ever did. It is the best decision that I ever made. I couldn’t think of anything worse then spending hours each day stuck in traffic, heading off to a cubicle with no natural light only to do mindless tasks for someone else that don’t seem to mean anything. I realize that I only have one life and don’t want to waste it working for petty people who don’t appreciate me and the effort that I put in. I am a man of creativity who likes to think outside of the square. You can’t do this working for someone else.

Here is why I love my home-based business.

It is midnight and it is okay- Because I work for myself I can set my own hours. This article was planned and written late at night because that is when I decided that I wanted to work. I do not have to fit in to the conventions of other people and their 9-5 mentality. My home-based business is flexible and I can fit it around other things that I have in my life- friends, family and hobbies.

I can do whatever I want- Being self-employed leaves me entirely flexible. I have the ability to pick and choose the projects that I want to work on. I can say no to work or projects that are of no interest to me. It is not like working for someone else whereby you must do what projects are given to you. There may also be office politics at play whereby your immediate superior gives you the worst projects because he doesn’t like you. You wouldn’t have these problems with your own home-based business.

I can work wherever I want- All of …

Advice on Choosing Staff Uniforms

Uniforms are a way to provide customers with the ability to know who works for a particular company, and present a professional and united representation to the public. Additionally, uniforms allow employers to control the appropriateness and condition of the clothes worn by their employees whilst they are at work. This is why it comes as no shock that over 32 million American employees have to wear a company uniform each day. If you are careful not to select a uniform that is ugly or difficult to wear, most employees will accept that they have to wear them without any problems. Uniforms let members of staff know that you care about their appearance and that you do not mind making an investment in them. Since they also create a sense of unity among employees, morale usually increases when they are required to wear uniforms.

You will probably end up paying somewhere between $100 to $500 per employee for each uniform, with the difference in estimates coming down to how many items you need to buy and the quality that you opt for. It might initially sound like a great deal of money, but two years is the typical shelf life for an employee uniform, so it really is not a lot. To begin with, if you cannot afford a complete uniform, you will want to get a uniform shirt for every employee, since shirts are the article of clothing the public sees most prominently. You can potentially tell employees that they have to provide their own black pants or skirt, however, if you do so some of them will inevitably turn up at work with poor quality ones, as they will not want to risk damaging their best items whilst they are at work.

Benefits of Using an IT Recruitment Agency

Every company has its own view on employing the services of a recruitment agency. Whilst some will prefer to bring in and develop their own in-house recruitment team, others find it easier and more efficient to let an agency carry this work for them.

For those that are undecided as yet, what exactly are the perks of letting someone else take care of your IT recruitment strategy? The following points should shed some light on why the additional cost can be fully justified for many businesses.

1.) Quick access to top-notch talent. The decision to use an IT recruitment agency is nearly always driven by a need for hard-to-reach, high calibre staff. Agencies often have the infrastructure to find talent that companies would struggle to unearth themselves. This is because, as well as having access to numerous CV databases and advertising mediums, agencies also maintain a number of personal connections to ensure great staff can be found within set timescales.

2.) A money saving option? Although companies often bemoan their agents’ fees, the truth is that a good IT recruitment agency can save their clients money. If, for example, a company is in desperate need of a .Net developer but can’t find a worker who is of a sufficient calibre in their local area, the search costs can quickly escalate. Both the time of the hiring personnel and the business cost of having an unfilled position need to be considered. A well-executed IT recruitment process can therefore prove highly beneficial in the long term.

3.) Expert knowledge. A number of IT recruitment agencies have consultants who are themselves highly qualified in the areas they are recruiting in. This allows them to speak in some depth and detail about available roles. This can bring enormous value as it allows …
