People Development & Staffing

Monday Motivation - Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence. ~unknown

Tuesday Tip - when giving references always respond in good faith. In other words without knowingly providing false or misleading information. Stick to the facts, avoid giving opinions.

Friday Freebie - An essential function of a job will determine if you can require an employee to undergo a medical exam. If you have an older employee with balance problems that can't climb ladders and it poses a direct safety threat, a medical exam is necessary. If it is not a safety threat, don't hold the employee to a higher standard based on age - or to a lower one either.
