An often overlooked but important aspect of Executive Planning is the Buy/Sell Agreement. No one wants to think about the death of one of their business partners, it’s painful on both a personal and financial level. But it’s important to plan for the worst so that if that day comes, both their family members and your business remain protected and secure. What is a Buy/Sell Agreement? A Buy/Sell Agreement is basically a business prenup: it’s a legally binding contract that stipulates how a partner’s share of a business may be reassigned if that partner dies, divorces, or faces bankruptcy. Often…

From the earliest days, workplace well-being programs have focused on encouraging healthy lifestyles and habits. There are different approaches, but in order to be successful there is one key dynamic that each and every program must include: the participants must possess the desire to adopt healthy lifestyles and habits. If someone doesn’t want to change, then even the best program in the world can’t make them. When I first started working in the field of workplace well-being, I was leading behavior change programs. I remember facilitating a smoking cessation program that had about a dozen employees participating voluntarily. The participants…
Written by Valerie Battles, HR Pro & Consultant By now, you may be thinking “I have less than five employees, do I really need an employee handbook?” The answer is: there is no state or federal law that requires you to have an employee handbook.

Written by Raul T. Pereyra, HR Pro & Consultant Great employers such as you establish standards and expectations for employees in two general categories: work rules and behaviors. Work rules are things like policies, procedures, protocols, etc. Behavioral standards are things like being respectful, using professional language, having a positive attitude so they don’t piss off the boss. So, what do you do when employees don’t meet your standards and expectations? Usually, some form of performance management is used to support employees before problems arise. Your goal for performance management is to manage how well employees are meeting job expectations…
