    Phishing Scam
    A lot has been written about all known kinds of scams including “Phishing”. But criminals keep on throwing their nets and having quite a good take. Therefore we have to continue exposing the phishing attempts. And since “it is better to see once than hear 10 times” I want to share with you 2 emails that I have recentl

    So what is the difference that makes change easy in one situation but not in another? Surely it is in the mind of the individual. In one situation they have everything to gain and nothing to lose. In the other they might come out worse off. In the first case, they made the decision for themselves and had worked out

    Corporate Business Gifts
    Choosing an appropriate corporate business gift might be confusing, as the market these days offers a wide array of gifts ranging from inexpensive personalized items such as pens or mugs to customized laptops, original artwork and even automobiles. Whether you are giving promotional freebies, rewarding your employees o
    In corporate life, at least, change is not only the ‘only constant’ but also frequently the bogeyman. You know that it’s necessary, but (“oh my god!”) how are you going to get people to go along with it, even welcome it? The underlying assumption is that people are going to resist it. So you design your change management programs with all the necessary touchy-feely content as well as the hard systems and physical changes.

    However, there are situations where people adapt remarkably quickly, without ‘help’. For example, when you join a new company, they have a way of doing things that is undoubtedly different from the way you have been used to. But what do you do? You do your damnedest to adapt to this ‘alien’ new way of doing things. Whatever thoughts you may have had during the first few days about the oddness of the place are very soon displaced in your desire to become a useful part of your new environment. In the process, you have made all sorts of changes to yourself without pain: you have a cup of coffee at 10, not as soon as you get in to work; you attend meetings that run into lunch, where before you had a strict lunch break; you complete your meeting notes the day of the meeting, instead of the day before the next one. And that’s just the small stuff. Now you are working for a new boss, with new colleagues and new people to get to know. This could all happen if you were already an employee and just got ‘reorganised’. In this case would your actions and reactions be the same? Probably not!

    The Phone Interview for Pharm Sales and Other High Demand Sales Jobs
    Many companies out there are using the phone interview to screen out applicants for pharm sales or other high demand sales positions. This is due to the need to reduce the high number of applicants for each sales position to a manageable number for personal interviews. It’s a time management strategy on the part of t

In one situation they have everything to gain and nothing to lose. In the other they might come out worse off. In the first case, they made the decision for themselves and had worked out in advance what it was worth to them. In the second case, the decision was made for them and the reasons for the change did not specifically have their personal interest in mind. The instigators of the change were looking for benefits to the organisation not to individuals. The first is self-centred, the latter is organisation-centred. Being a cog in the machine is fine when we’re a ‘big wheel’ but not so fine when you are a smaller one that may have to whir faster. The fear is not unfounded, either. So often many people involved in corporate change do find themselves not fitting any more.

    The fear of loss is greater than the fear of gain. When there is nothing to lose, change is not a problem.
