HOW TO COPE WITH LATE EMPLOYEES

Lateness is a serious problem for every business. You have a starting time for a reason; this is when you expect your employees to begin working. In an office, if you start at 9, this means everyone should already be sat down getting along with their work. In a store or bar or restaurant, your starting time is often when you open your doors – so everyone needs to be there ready for this.

If you have shifts at work, people need to be on time for the start of their shift or it means that the other employees have to stay later, disrupting their day. Or, if they decide to leave when their shift ends – as is their right – you’re down a few employees until the new ones show up. 

All of this means that tracking work and employee hours is a big priority for your business. You need to know when your employees are showing up. As a consequence, you can quickly pinpoint which ones are constantly late. Lateness disrupts your business, ruins productivity, and can damage your reputation amongst clients/customers. So, when you discover late employees, how should you deal with them?

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE EXPANDING YOUR BUSINESS

If your business venture has been running successfully for a little while, you may be at a point where you are considering expansion. Being in a position to expand your business is an excellent place to be. However, it is crucial to ensure that you are growing your business for the right reasons and at the right time.

Expanding too soon or expanding in the wrong way can mean big trouble for your business and is a significant risk to take. Companies that grow too fast or do not grow in the right way can cause their previously successful venture to be put under so much pressure that it buckles. So, it pays to proceed with caution when weighing up your options and planning to grow your business. 

Expanding a business will always carry some degree of risk. When approached in the right way, you can mitigate much of the risk involved and have a pretty clear idea of how your plans will play out. Before you start putting your money into expansion plans, it is helpful to consider the following points to help you manage the risks involved as best as you can:

HOW TO FLIP AN OLD PROPERTY SUCCESSFULLY

Property is, and probably always will be, an excellent way to make money. Although it’s not a quick process, and you will have to invest a fairly substantial amount to begin with, if you plan well and choose wisely, you could be very comfortable with the income property gives you. 

Some people are content to find a great mortgage adviser, buy a house, live in it while paying off the mortgage, and then sell it to fund their retirement. Others will buy a house and rent it out, gaining an income while the mortgage is paid. Then there are others who will buy a house, make it look beautiful, and then sell it for a profit in a relatively short space of time – at least compared to the other options. This is called flipping and can be lucrative when done right. It starts with choosing the right property; you’ll want a cheap one, but one that isn’t completely falling apart so you don’t have to spend too much money on it. Read on to find out what to do next.
