It's Time Hudson Valley Companies Recruit, Retain & Inspire Higher Quality Employees
Featuring Guest Blogger, Skip Weisman of Weisman Success Resources
Three key issues face Hudson Valley businesses as the economy begins to improve in 2010, according to Skip Weisman of Weisman Success Resources, Inc., a Poughkeepsie based business consultant and coach. Those areas include, 1) retention of key employees, 2) recruitment of higher quality employees, and 3) making sure each is happy, secure and in the right positions to provide maximum value to the company.
For those reasons, I am pleased to announce an international affiliation with Human Potential Global, Ltd. (www.humanpotentialglobal.com ), the fastest growing facilitator of the Harrison Assessments on the continent of Asia.
Harrison Assessments are recognized internationally as the premier tool in the recruitment and interview process, including managing the performance of existing employees and facilitating teamwork.
If you look at professional sports teams, they excel in personnel and performance management. They do it with a systematic and statistical approach that provides quantifiable results. Most companies, regardless of the strength of their human resources departments, do it with the hunch and hope approach. It’s time to get into the 21st Century, and Harrison Assessments will help my clients do that.
In recognition of this international affiliation, I've just released a White Paper Report on the “6 Keys to Creating, Managing & Maintaining a High Performing Business Team that Gets Champion Level Results.” Any business leader that would like a copy of my latest White Paper should call 845-463-3838 or visit http://tinyurl.com/6keystohighperfchampteamorder.

Don't Vote
Whatever you do on November 3rd, don’t vote.
Because if you don’t vote, Don Smith will continue to rule.
And that’s just what he wants.
If you don’t vote, we'll have the same sheriff we’ve had for 8 years.
On November 1, 2009, Lohud.com, the online component of The Journal News, reported Don Smith’s failures as sheriff, “Among the controversies is the May 2006 jail suicide of a Putnam Valley man whose family later sued the county, a case that was recently settled. There’s also Deputy Barbara Dunn, who was indicted last month on multiple charges of grand larceny, perjury and official misconduct, in part, to her investigating crimes against animals while serving as president of the Putnam Humane Society.”
“And there’s the case of a Putnam Valley Middle School student who claimed she was sexually assaulted in 2001 by a male teacher, although the crime wasn’t reported to police until 2003. A state agency found that sheriff’s investigators, the District Attorney’s Office and school officials botched the case. The teacher was never charged and was allowed to resign.”
There’s another choice. You have an opportunity this year to vote for a leader who will be accountable to the voters. You can vote for a new Putnam County Sheriff, Kevin McConville.
Lohud.com: “So many people identify with us and what we want to do,” McConville said. “I’ve met with hundreds of people who are not happy with the current administration and want change.”
“A law enforcement organization should be about professionalism and accountability,” McConville said. “That’s what I intend to bring the people of Putnam County.”
So, don’t vote if you want Don Smith to continue ruining Putnam County.
Or, vote for a new Democratic leader and change.
