I often get asked how to become a freelance writer and editor, because a lot of people are intrigued at the thought of working from home in their pajamas and having time to just do what they want every day. I always quickly set them straight: The freelance business is tough, and working in your pajamas every day starts to make you feel like a mental-ward patient.

'I am the son of teachers. My dad was a professor of psychology for 35+ years at Michigan State University. My mom was a Grammy-award winning choir director who taught at all levels of education. Growing up, I never was deprived of much. As public sector employees, they earned a reasonable salary and received reasonable benefits. They were home when I went to school, and they were home when I returned.

A Bad Buzz in Employee Engagement. You say that employee engagement is just a buzz word. I think you are wrong. Employee disengagement hurts. Employee disengagement: lowers results. cuts profits. reddens finances. sickens well-being. frays relationships. crumbles organizations. poisons community. starves performance. undervalues individuals. fragments teams. crashes careers. saps energy. corrodes connections. erodes employees. scares stakeholders. deadens days. weakens weeks. mangles months. irr

Have you ever met anyone famous? Were you tongue-tied? I'm not talking Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie famous, because the truth is most of us would be struck dumb if we found ourselves in an elevator with either one of them or their 15 kids, but someone sort of famous. I once ran into Jim Nabors outside the Grand Ole Opry Hotel in Nashville. I was with my kids and he was just standing at the curb, looking like a man wondering where the heck he had parked the car.

'In my efforts as professor, I have always been interested in the effect altering class policies and changing incentives has on student behavior. I fiddle around with changing attendance policies, the grading scale, the number of exams, the point values of exams to see the impact on how students approach the class. For the past few semesters in the statistics class I teach, I''ve asked students to fill out a survey telling me things such as the name they liked to be called, their e-mail, etc.

One is the business value chain which is the one we know best.

Every company everywhere should have a plan to combat workplace violence and properly respond to violent incidents. California has stepped to the plate and become the first state to mandate workplace violence prevention requirements for employees and employers. Even if you are in a different state or country, these workplace violence requirements are applicable to almost every employer anywhere.

'Once in a while, you start a performance review on an employee and realize you do not have anything good to say. When this happens, be honest on the review but do not tear down the employee for their poor performance. If you do they will leave your office looking like the guy in the picture. Remember, reviews are supposed to be a time to help employees improve, not create tension or put them down.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I have a verbal offer for a job at a new company with a specific start date. I want to give my current employer as much notice as possible.

Although many people may immediately think of felled corporate giant Enron when the word “fraud” is uttered, fraud on a much smaller scale occurs at most businesses on a regular basis. Whether it’s pushing 45 minutes to an hour or adding hours outright, time management fraud by employers and contractors is costly. Taking someone’s word about the hours spent on a specific project can be a gamble.
