Part of good leadership requires skill in the hiring process. Good leaders know that retention of productive employees affects the bottom line as well as morale and growth.Recruiting, training and then terminating someone is never desirable. There are many good candidates you could hire. However, even though they may have certain desirable skills, they may not be right for the job at hand. The key is not just to hire the right person, but to hire the right person for the right job.Taking the time to make the correct hire in the first place is worth all of the effort it takes. The right person in the right job will be productive for years to come. The right person in the wrong job will cause problems, waste time, and expense and send you back to square one again.Retention is directly related to the hiring process. Therefore, in order to minimize turnover and maximize ret

All is not lost if the Assignee has made thorough preparations before his transfer. For instance, the following digestible tips that he could take note of when liaising or communicating with Singaporeans. Although Singaporeans generally speak English with varying proficiency standards; the Assignee is advised to exercise due care given the cultural differences.
1. Small-talk
Small-talk is one of the most common traits observed by business communities across Southeast Asia. It also takes place between parties who meet for the first time. Making small-talk may be seen as a pointless time-wasting exercise for some Western executives. However, to Asians, engaging in small-talk is a form of establishing long-term collaborative relationship. Besides, it is also a way of establishing rapport and trust.
Topics ranging from asking after the Assignee's family to if he has gone on holiday/vacation. However, unlike their Asian counterparts elsewhere, Singaporeans are not as intrusive as they go for safer topics like the weather. Neither do they discuss any topic at length; it is usually about 10 to 15 minutes thereabouts. Singaporeans are pressed for time that is why.

All too often, businesses impose strict guidelines as to how customer service focused employees should correspond with their client base. First and foremost, the majority of companies, no matter in what industry, stress how important it is to respect and develop strong relationships with their customers. This trend was commenced years ago, when it was a genuine gesture to make a courtesy call or visit to ensure customer satisfaction. Today, we experience the monotone customer service representatives who do not necessarily associate follow-ups and call backs as rapport-building techniques.Firstly, let’s discuss the importance of our customer service departments. Whether we like it or not, customer service has been overshadowed by the overwhelming amount of office politics and the so-called need to have meetings about what the next meeting will be about.

More than a few dozen times, people say to me, 'I don't know how you fit it all in!' Sometimes even "I" don't know how I fit it all in, to be honest. However, not only did I realize early that if I wanted to accomplish the things in my life 'to do' list, I'd better take control of my time. I have learned that time management is a huge issue with many of my clients. So, to help with this common problem, below are some tips to at least get you started on how to make the most out of your limited resource: Time.Prioritize What do you want to accomplish? Many people I work with have a HUGE list of what they want to do or of opportunities coming their way. It becomes so overwhelming for them that they find themselves doing NOTHING! Now, that defeats the purpose of having such great opportunities at their feet, huh? So, make a list of all the things you would like to do or acco

Buying a Franchise offers many benefits over starting a business on your own. The franchisees benefit from the training and ongoing support that they receive whilst trying to make their business successful. People starting a business on their own often have no help or guidance in the day to day running of the business!The franchisees receive guidance on location, fixtures and fittings, marketing and operation of the business model. This guidance is based on years of experience the franchiser has gained not only from running the business model but also from advising other franchisees.Buying a franchise business is at least a five year commitment and as such should not be taken lightly. It is important to make the right lifestyle choice rather than basing the decision to buy purely on profitability of the business model.A prospective franchisee should always look at the mark
2. Business Cards
Business cards in Asia serve as an extension of the person's business reputation. Hence, the ritual-like exchange whereby the cards are presented and received with both hands simultaneously - it takes some practice to do so. The trick is by holding the top corners/part of one's card with name facing the receiver. And then receiving the counterpart's with the left hand when both cards "meet".
The Assignee could show interest towards his counterpart by studying the card for a moment and then asking questions relating to their business or work. If this takes place during a formal meeting, the card is placed on the table to the Assignee's right for referencing purposes.
Last but not least, the Assignee ought to take note of the following:
[a] Never put the card inside his shirt pocket immediately; or trouser/pants back pocket as this gesture is deemed disrespectful towards his counterpart. That is, he is literally sitting on them - the horror.
[b] Never write on his counterpart's business card as this implies he is defacing the card
3. Saving Face / Loss of Face
There is a subtle difference between these two phrases as described in the following scenarios:
[a] Saving face - a long-running dispute between two departments whose members do not wish to bring the matter up to their respective supervisors. Else they appear as difficult or petulant they do their utmost to "save face".
[b] Loss of Face - scribbling onto a Singaporean's [especially ethnic Chinese] business card in his presence will cause him to "lose face". I made this mistake several years ago at my first job. I innocently jotted dow
