Travel Weary
If you’re spending too much time and energy making travel plans for your small business, maybe it’s time to turn the task over to a travel agent. Yes, you’ll pay for the services. But the payoff could be fewer headaches, less frustration and better travel arrangements for you. To find a travel agent, go to the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) at www.astanet.com. You can search by ZIP code or travel specialty.
Workplace E-Mail
Wondering why productivity is slipping in your company? Could be that personal e-mail is to blame. A 2005 survey by Clearswift in Redwood City, Calif., found that American workers spend a whopping 21 days each year on personal e-mailing, the worst of any country studied. If your employees seem to be slacking, set some ground rules. Develop clear, written policies about personal Internet and e-mail usage during work hours.
