Thinking Versus Charge Hours
April 4 | by L. Gary Boomer, CEO, CPA, CITP

April 2005 Circle Update
April 4 | by Kenneth M. McCall, MBA, MCP, CDIA+

Performance Appraisals… taking it to the next level!
April 4 | by Sandra L. Wiley, COO & Senior Consultant
As the supervisor of staff in your firm, you have a tremendous responsibility to motivate your team to produce positive results. One of the tools you are, or at least you should be using, is a Performance Appraisal System. If you are like most supervisors, you most likely don’t care for performance appraisals; the truth is that few people do. But these tools do provide immense value for managers and staff alike, if they are implemented correctly. Therefore, they should be “upgraded” in your firm, not ignored!
Time to Clean House!
April 4 | by Sue Thiemann Director of First Impressions
It’s spring. Time to clean your closets. That could mean your closet, back room, drawers and files at work also. You could apply this to not only the physical drawers of your office but also to your policies & procedures. For me, spring time is a great time to evaluate and make changes. That also applies to my work habits.
