and fruitful beginnings…In life, a process that begins properly will increase the chance of accuracy all the way through and a successful conclusion. The world of commercial finance can be complicated as every project is unique. There are many programs and products available but every application is as different as the applicant. The part of this process that is universal is the preparation. Some may tell you that luck is the residue of preparation but in reality, preparation is the prerequisite for sustained success. Whether you are starting a business or seeking to expand one, the fundamentals of preparation cannot be forsaken and discipline must be applied. This article intends to address t
Changing people's behaviour with regard to safety is a time consuming, difficult business. General training does not have the immediate and emotional rewards of safety training. Changing people's behaviour without those rewards is even more difficult.
The lessons that organisations have learnt in making safety training effective are, therefore, all the more instructional for general training.
In particular, studies of the effectiveness of training which combined an understanding of human psychology with a review of actual training programmes have specific findings relevant to all training.
A study by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in the US into the effectiveness training for carpenters to prevent hearing loss attempted to understand what limited training effectiveness and to redesign training to improve its effectiveness.
Hearing loss in carpenters in the US is most simply described by the statement, "25 year olds have 45 year old ears". It is a big problem. Although carpenters surveyed understood that hearing loss was an industry problem, that it would affect them personally and believed that hearing protection could prevent hearing loss, they still did not actually wear hearing protection. They, therefore, still actually suffered hearing loss.

With the improving economy and job market, people have more options in 2006. So the good news is that Corporate India is handing out handsome hikes in pay packets this year to gain and retain the best employees. The modest escalations predominantly, across most platforms, will be in the range of 15 pct and, if you’re at a senior level you could make much, much more as much, in fact, as 200 pct. And still, the good times have only just got rolling, according to some analysts, even at base levels, salaries are rising in the 20-40 pct bracket. In the light of this, it may be the perfect time to ask for the raise you deserve.But hang on! Nobody is going to give you a raise “just because”, we have an imp

Even when you have planned your list, it may still be difficult to determine which names are the best ones to contact for the day. I like to look at the last time I contacted them and if it is longer than 60 days, the name gets closer to the top of my list. Once I have looked at all of the lists, I will have sections of 30-60-90 days. I like to make a mix of best-customers to customers that only give me some business and also at least one where the customer went elsewhere. The bulk of the calls should be where you are doing most of your business. Customers do not have to be like herding rabbits or elephants, they need to be taken care of and fed so that they come to the same place each time they need your

There are two ways to obtain floor mats for your place of business. You can rent them from a janitorial supply and service business or you can purchase them outright. Ostensibly, the most cost-efficient method is to purchase your mats. However, there can be extenuating circumstances that lead you to consider renting your mats.If you rent your mats, a good service will provide a clean fresh mat upon pickup of the old. This may be once or twice a week. The rental will seem inexpensive-typically a few dollars per mat per week. If your business contracts all its janitorial services, this could be the most efficient means of providing clean floor mats for all your entrances and aisle ways.However,

Branding used to be a fancy business word, but it is becoming more and more used in everyday business meetings. Finally! For decades, big corporations have used in-house, very well paid brand managers - someone in charge of managing everything that relates to the brand, including design, package and partnerships. You've heard enthusiastic talks about branding, but you are still not sure if you should get a brand management plan going for your business.Do you need one? Any company with the intention and potential to become or to remain a top competitor in its field needs to develop a sound branding strategy. And that's where the brand agency comes in. If you have a small or medium size business, you
Training programmes had been effective in raising awareness but not changing behaviour.
The researchers used the theory of reasoned action (Ajzen and Fishbein, 1980) to understand the factors limiting the effectiveness of the training.
The basic tenet of the theory is that a person's behaviour is determined by their intention to perform the desired behaviour. This intention is determined by three things: their attitude toward the specific behaviour, their subjective norms and their perceived behavioural control.
People's attitudes are influenced by their beliefs about the behaviour, their subjective norms by their beliefs about how people they care about will view the behaviour and perceived behavioural control by their perception of their ability to perform a given behaviour.
The research revealed that carpenters beliefs included; that wearing hearing protection would stop them hearing warning signals such as reversing vehicles, thought others would laugh at them for wearing hearing protection and did not know how to fit hearing protection properly.
Therefore, no amount of training in the need to wear hearing protection was going to influence the carpenter's behaviour.
To design a coherent model of learning and reinforcement that actually changed behaviour, the researchers turned to the stages of change model (Prochaska).
The model describes five stages:
Pre-contemplation; Unaware of the problem, hasn't thought about change
Contemplation; Thinking about change, in the near future
Determination; Making a plan to
