This article describes how some people abuse the benefit of sick pay in the workplace. I am going to explain a couple of examples of this, which I have come across over the last couple of years.

Some say that work ethic in America is in decline, but is it really or are Americans simply getting too over weight and feel more lackadaisical when performing tasks? Is this then triggering a perception of laziness in some and a work effort riddled with excuses, delegation and blame gaming with most?

Ethics in the field of hiring, staffing and recruitment is based on a combination of things and depends on who is actually involved in the hiring process.

Certainly the job searcher, hiring manager and recruiter are just three possible people involved in a hiring decision.

Lately I have been hearing a lot about “hidden agendas” and “conflict of interests.” I was accustomed to dealing with these “challenges” on a daily basis with my fellow Corporados, but I sure would like to keep them to an absolute minimum in this fine small town, as they generally lead to no good.

Have ever you avoided a phone call by instructing your assistant
“Tell him I’ve gone to lunch.” Or “Tell her I’m in a meeting”? All when it’s not true.

We have seen an erosion in the confidence that society has in organizational leadership and its integrity recently with the numerous accounting scandals that have become public.Clearly this has led to the demise of several large organizations. In performance terms it is obvious that erosion of leadership integrity is not good for business.

Recently I read of a new website where teachers can post and sell their lesson plans to recover the time that they had spent in developing these plans. On the surface, this sounds reasonable and why would anyone object to teachers making a little more money through such a capitalist venture and leveraging their intellectual capitol?

Integrity in business is a quality that is highly under-rated by executives these days. Many executives are so “pushed and pulled” by a not so hidden force called the “profit motive” that they often find themselves compromising something that without which they could lose all credibility and trust from those they are trying to retain business from.

I was trying to figure out a way to work the Pittsburgh Steelers into a Weekly Insight, particularly after our hometown team earned the right to be called “World Champions.” I realize that not everyone who reads these Weekly Insights hails from Western Pennsylvania (and some of you might not care for the Steelers at all), but hang in there with me on this one.
“Steelers mean business” was the title of an Associated Press article on February 4, 2006. Dr. Joanne G. Dujansky, the founder of KEYGroup, a Pittsburgh business that counsels companies on creating a successful corporate culture was quoted in the article as follows: “The Steelers’ winning tradition didn’t start yesterday. It started when Art Rooney purchased the franchise 73 years ago and set in motion a strategy for success that embraced his vision and values.”
