    The “Business Essentials” CD provides 11 interviews on a range of workplace issues.
    Take advantage of our current $9.95 sale price! (Normally $17.00)

    The interviews on this CD include:

    Kerry Fallon Horgan, Flexibility At Work, considers the bottom line benefits of a flexible workplace.

  • It takes time and commitment to develop flexible work practices
  • When managed well, the benefits far outweigh the costs
  • Consider permanent part-time work, flextime, job share, flexible start and finish hours, broader leave and RDO arrangements for staff
  • Good communication and planning skills are needed for success
  • Consider a work-life audit to find out what is and what isn't working, and what employees want
  • There's a positive link between satisfied employees and satisfied customers

    Brian Williamson, Workplace Law, talks about the need for performance reviews.

  • Performance reviews send an important message to employees
  • They help employees understand their career path - if they can't see it with you, they'll seek it elsewhere
  • 'End of Year' reviews can be bad timing - November and May are better times
  • Look for areas of disagreement between manager and employee - differences need to be discussed and resolved
  • Don't focus solely on technical skills - attitude and leadership skills also count
  • Use the reviews as a way to map the year ahead for staff.

    Dr Glyn Brokensha of Banks Management Group says beware the "power-pathic" employee.

  • 10% of senior executives have 'power-pathic'personalities
  • These employees can be charming and socially adept - but they're ruthless and leave a trail of destruction behind them
  • Power-pathic people can be managed but it takes strong leadership
  • Think about formal assessment to weed out power-pathic personalities before they take hold.

    Jenny Roche, Telstra, discusses a new approach to SMS in Business

  • Test messaging can be a powerful tool for Business
  • New technology is now available to send text messages direct from your PC
  • The new technology is simple and cost effective.

    About Our E-programs

    Having worked with hundreds of managers, HR professionals and employees for more than a decade,
    we’ve found that there are two sides to the coin that need to be considered when implementing sustainable flexible work practices.

    Firstly it’s important to create an enabling workplace environment with management commitment
    and supportive values in action, attitudes, practices, systems and processes.
    The other side of the coin is an individual’s responsibility to understand their life goals
    and take action to achieve the life they want.

    It is with this in mind that we have developed the two e-learning programs:

    “Creating & Managing Flexible Workplaces” to develop the workplace that enalbes workplace flexibility and
    “Your Life – Your Money! Making your life work for you” for individuals to understand their life goals and the steps to take to achieve work/life balance.

    The “Creating & Managing Flexible Workplaces” is a 45 minute e-program for managers and employees. It contains 6 modules and a 12 minute video
    which is part of an exercise to surface and address the challenges to flexible work practices.

    Video - Flexibility at Work: Work/Life issues in Australian organisations today

    A key training tool for your flexible workplace initiatives. The video includes training notes by flexible workplace expert, Kerry Fallon Horgan.

    This video has been produced by Kerry Fallon Horgan for use in work/life training programs, workshops and seminars. The program highlights the issues facing a diverse workforce
    and the challenges of achieving a work/life balance in Australian workplaces today.

    The work/life issues presented by the two middle managers in the video are representative of a diverse range of people working across all sectors,
    including the public, private and community sectors.

    The business case for flexible work practices has been well documented and many organisations have excellent flexible workplace policies and procedures,
    but the gap between the reality and the rhetoric is significant for many Australian workers. A key to closing this gap is the facilitation of appropriate dialogue
    in the workplace about the many barriers to work/life balance and the strategies that can be implemented to overcome these challenges.
    The aim of this video is to facilitate this dialogue.
