Download or read book Turning Turnover Around written by Mark Vonrhein and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The costs of employee turnover can be staggering. Not only do they include fully-loaded payroll costs of a vacant position, but they can also rack up overtime and consume managers' time to recruit and train new hires. Add in lost productivity, and you have a major problem. Reducing employee turnover will clearly improve how your business functions and performs financially. In Turning Turnover Around, Mark Vonrhein synthesizes years of experience working with hundreds of entry-level employees. Vonrhein has successfully used a five-point plan-the Performance Compensation Program-to increase productivity, keep employees happy, and increase profitability. The Plan is straightforward. Start entry-level employees below industry average salaries, then clearly define performance goals and post performance results daily. Then, give feedback on a regular basis, and reward your high-performers with incremental, and typically more frequent, pay raises. To supplement his program, Vonrhein provides wage models that help you match an employee's pay level to his or her performance. He also shares a wealth of information on the program's impact, which ranges from more engaged and productive workers, to a healthier bottom line. Combine Vonrhein's program with his "management tune-up" tips and you'll soon see turnover turning around.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USA Today Bestseller: A Minnesota baker is pulled into the mix when a man from her past is murdered: “Charming…scrumptious recipes.”—Publishers Weekly Early summer brings plenty of work for baker Hannah Swensen, even before Mayor Bascomb’s wife drops by The Cookie Jar to place an order for her charity event…for eleven hundred cookies! And Hannah almost flips when her business partner, Lisa, suggests setting up an apple turnover stand. But she places her faith in Lisa, and even agrees to be a magician’s assistant in the fundraiser's talent show. The only snag is the show’s host, college professor Bradford Ramsey. Hannah and her sister, Michelle, each had unfortunate romances with Ramsey, and when the cad comes sniffing around between acts, Hannah tells him off. But when the curtain doesn't go up, she discovers Ramsey backstage—dead, with a turnover in his hand. Now she must find a killer who's flakier than puff pastry, and far more dangerous… Includes cookie and dessert recipes from The Cookie Jar “The ever popular Fluke writes engaging cozies with one part great characters, one part gentle story, and three parts the best recipes in the genre.”—Library Journal “[A] delightful, thoroughly entertaining series.”—Romantic Times

Download or read book Uncertainties in Environmental Modelling and Consequences for Policy Making written by Philippe Baveye and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-05-14 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical modelling has become in recent years an essential tool for the prediction of environmental change and for the development of sustainable policies. Yet, many of the uncertainties associated with modelling efforts appear poorly understood by many, especially by policy makers. This book attempts for the first time to cover the full range of issues related to model uncertainties, from the subjectivity of setting up a conceptual model of a given system, all the way to communicating the nature of model uncertainties to non-scientists and accounting for model uncertainties in policy decisions. Theoretical chapters, providing background information on specific steps in the modelling process and in the adoption of models by end-users, are complemented by illustrative case studies dealing with soils and global climate change. All the chapters are authored by recognized experts in their respective disciplines, and provide a timely and uniquely comprehensive coverage of an important field.
