Why Do I Pay A Royalty Fee?
The first point to make about Royalties is that good Franchise systems should look at them not as a payment but rather as a remittance. It is the Franchisor’s share of the income derived from customers or clients. The Franchisee collects that fee along with all other revenues from the customer.It’s an important concept because it emphasizes that the customer ultimately pays for everything, including the Franchisor’s

Weblogs or Blogs as they are more commonly referred to, have become extremely popular in the last several years. So popular in fact that many large businesses are letting some employees post Blogs on their corporate websites. While many businesses are jumping on the Blog bandwagon for use as a creative marketing technique; a few businesses have fired employees for what they posted on a Blog. These businesses accuse the employees of allegedly disclosing trade secrets, proprietary information, and making statements that showed the employer in a bad light.

First it may be important here to explain what exactly a Blog is. A Weblog or Blog is a website not unlike a diary that people post their ideas, views, daily events and opinions on. These Blogs in most cases are able to be viewed by anyone with access to the internet. It is for this reason that you may want to consider a Blog policy for your business.

Blogs have even become a part of the underground news media, especially since the last election in the United States. They are even getting the attention of the large global news media that now on occasion report on what the bloggers are saying. The point is, like it or not, it appears Blogs are here to stay.

The best thing a business can do to protect themselves and the interest of the employee is to create a Blog policy for all employees. This policy should include specific topics that employees should not mention within the Blogs on a business website. Employers should also have policies for people that have their own weblog that they control and run themselves as well. It is essential that these policies be created so that there will be no confusion as to what the employer deems as inappropriate for its employees to post on the Internet. This policy will also protect the employer from

I Quit!
More and more people are calling it quits to successful careers to create some personal leisure time or to pursue another career. This trend is becoming more popular and common. Years ago few people voluntarily quit a job midway through their careers, no matter how unhappy they were. It was not acceptable to leave one job without having another job to go to. There was a stigma present that you were damaged goods if you

Do Diversity Policies Matter?
A recent survey conducted by the National Society of Hispanic Professionals (NSHP) asked 268 Hispanics their opinion on diversity policies in the workplace. A whopping 72 percent of those surveyed felt that diversity policies were more words than actions or did not make a difference, while only 27 percent felt that such polices were necessary in the workplace and benefited Hispanics. While it is probably true that most Hisp

A Planet Where Everyone Has A Website
Can you imagine a planet where every single person on the globe has their own personal website? I can. I’ve been there. It’s called Ruferius and it revolves around one of the stars in the Sirius ‘Dog Star’ system. It’s not like people are exceptionally intelligent or evolved on Ruferius, the thing is it’s illegal to not have your own website. You see, Ruferians have a strong social ideology based around the idea that no sin

The Problems with Partnerships
Webster’s dictionary describes a partnership as: “a legal relation existing between two or more persons contractually associated as joint principals in a business or a relationship resembling a legal partnership and usually involving close cooperation between parties having specified and joint rights and responsibilities.”That’s the “official” definition. I describe it as absolute

If you are considering implementing a Blog policy for your business, please be sure to consult with an attorney as to what exactly you should place in your policy. This policy should include any topics that the employer deems as inappropriate, proprietary, secretive and in conjunction with any confidentiality agreements and “blackout periods”.

People who choose to blog on their own personal Weblogs should be sure in the very least that they include some type of disclaimer on the Website that is easily visible to all of the people who visit your Website. The disclaimer does not have to appear on every page of your Website but, should be displayed in such a way as to be seen by the people who visit, such as on the home page or the about me page. The disclaimer should say something along the lines of:

The views expressed on this site or Weblog are mine alone and are not necessarily that of my employers.

Along with this make every effort not to disclose information that would violate any confidentiality clause of your employer. Also take the time to review this clause if you have one before you post to avoid any confusion as to what this clause states.

The use of a Blog policy by businesses will go a long way to prevent any problems on either side of the issue if and when one should arise because the policy will clearly define what cannot b

I found the perfect place to retire to in a few years. I probably shouldn't share it, but here goes....

One form of burnout is Trapped in a Gilded Cage: too successful and too obligated to quit but sick of it all and exhausted.

If your company’s not hitting its revenue targets and underselling its competition, it’s really easy for senior managers and executives to blame the economy. The fact is though, that the economy is very robust right now, and despite high energy prices, it’s pretty clear that the economy is going to stay on a strong track. So unless your market is in a slump, the chances are that your company needs to take a hard look at sales from the perspective of its strategy, process, and people.
