When an employee has body odor

January 5, 2018

Q: I don't know how to say this delicately, so I'll get right to the point. A staffer at our practice has terrible body odor.

I'm usually good at counseling employees, but this particular problem has me … [Read more...] about When an employee has body odor

Start off staff’s year by putting the focus on professional growth

December 29, 2017

A good way to start off a year is with a professional development plan for each staffer. And call it such, says Richard Lepsinger, president of OnPoint Consulting in New York. It's not a vehicle for recognizing shortcomings in a staffer's performance that have to be improved. Instead, it's a discussion of capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses and how to grow during the … [Read more...] about Start off staff’s year by putting the focus on professional growth

Feeling stuck and disorganized? Here’s how to turn things around

December 15, 2017

By Bianca Moreiras  bio After working 30 years in the legal arena with highly skilled, highly skeptical attorneys I have learned that keeping myself in a positive "can do" frame of mind helps keep my sanity. Executing the feeling is another story. Each day brings new challenges or "change"—something that is inevitable, but also something attorneys will try to avoid at all … [Read more...] about Feeling stuck and disorganized?
