“Career skills (are) right up there at the top of the list for any employee. Teach me something that I can use to advance my career, and I will stay forever – or at least until the end of September.”

ABSOLUTELY right! This is exactly my own experience. I once worked in Cairo for an outstanding woman manager of a small, industrious university Public Relations department. And the thing I valued most from my three years there was what I learned about the then-brand-new Internet. Not the salary. Not the challenges. Not the creativity boost. But just plain, old-fashioned, selfish, me-first BENEFITS TO MYSELF.

There ARE some fine <a href=”teamworx.cc” rel=”nofollow”>corporate teambuilding programs</a> out there. But it takes an insightful, well-delivered program to appeal to an employee more than a manager or supervisor simply teaching a valuable skill.

Time management is an important tool making one more efficient to do multi-tasking.

“…search the Internet, that doesn’t require much of a brain’…” Must be coming out of the mouths of cave dwellers.

This is where information comes in. The more effective they are using technology, optimizing their time, finding what they need, focused on their work instead of the time-sucking job of finding what they need to perform their work, will make everyone happy.
