MGMT Behaviors to Avoid for Decreased Employee Turnover

Why do employees quit, and how can LMS managerial training help? First, the improper handling of situations is a common way to lead employees to their next job with a company who may be your competitor. When things go wrong, management must step up to the plate and become the leader, rather than the finger-pointer and blame-assigner. Another sure way to kill morale in the workplace is the constant reorganization of staff and shuffling employees around. This only causes confusion and a lost sense of priorities.

The second behavior that management should avoid is the alienation of staff by silence. Oftentimes, management fails to make time to inform staff about the decisions it is taking. Clarity and transparency in management should be consistent in order to keep a healthy employee morale and sense of good communication at work.

The third managerial behavior that effects high employee turnover rates is killing morale by not allowing employees to make any decisions about their work. Employees begin to view their work as only a job instead of developing pride and positive energy in the workplace.

Go Armed and Ready to Your Annual Review

Do you have an annual performance review coming up? An LMS prep course could help you make it a success.

Oftentimes people dread performance reviews for all the wrong reasons. You might be unfamiliar with the process, or haven't taken the time to reflect on the work year, or create professional goals for the future. You might believe it's time for a pay raise, but you aren't sure if it's the right time to ask.

The trick is to go prepared. Keep in mind that workplaces do performance reviews differently. While some require that you take time to assess yourself, and later use that assessment as the basis for your review, others focus more on the future, or the past. Find out from your boss before the review for some specifics on how the process works.

To Homeschool or Not to Homeschool: 3 Questions to Ask Yourself

Considering homeschooling your child? Here are three important considerations, three critical thoughts, before you take the homeschooling route.

First, is everyone in the family on board with the decision to homeschool? This is an essential precondition of homeschooling that both parents (if applicable) are in agreement about the decision. It will prove very difficult for everyone involved if one parent is against it. If this is the case for you, try talking to more people and doing more research on homeschooling. Read up on learning management systems and other learning strategies before bringing up the topic with your spouse again.

Your child's opinion, of course, should also be considered. Is he or she warm to the idea of homeschooling? Ultimately, it's your own decision, but a willing student is always much easier and more pleasant to work with. If your child is absolutely against the idea, you might not have an easy time of it. Remember, no homeschooling is a lifelong one. Most families take it one year at a time.
