November 11, 2009

$150 per person

For most employers, employee training is an ongoing and time-consuming process. In many instances, employers have new managers or supervisors that understand the technical requirements of their positions, but have not received training on the personnel aspects of their job, or have an existing supervisor that needs a refresher course in how to handle employee issues. Basic Supervisor Training provided by the attorneys at Cross, Gunter, Witherspoon & Galchus, P.C. is designed to help your company avoid legal action resulting from issues concerning discipline, documentation, termination, harassment, interviewing, hiring, Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Let’s face it. The word “meeting” has a bad rap. Meetings are considered by many to be a waste of time, an obstruction to productivity and—at best—a coffee break during a busy day. The key to an effective meeting is an effective meeting leader. With a dozen doughnuts, meeting participants get breakfast. With Facilitating for Results, they generate new ideas and action plans that meet the goals the meetings are designed to achieve.

Is email taking over your life? On average, it takes a worker 64 seconds to recover from an email interruption. This same worker sends and receives 30 emails a day. 30 minutes a day….1 ½ hours a week…..5 hours a month. 68% of all U.S. workers check email “more or less continuously” throughout the workday.

Microsoft Word 2007 is easily the most popular word processing application and the newest version offers more advanced tools than ever before so that you can create professional looking documents with relative ease. If you use MS Word 207 every day at work, then this is the class you’ve been waiting for. After a quick introduction on modifying toolbars to tailor to the needs of each user, this course will instruct the users in creating and modifying graphics, such as tables, diagrams, hyperlinks, and charts. Users will even learn how to modify existing clipart so that it coincides with the need of the project at hand. A quick study of the Drawing Canvas will allow users to create newsletter designs that look like they came from a graphic designer company instead of being prepared ‘in-house’.
