Mentoring:  This seems to be a dying art.  It used to be something people were proud to be.  I have found in my experience that people would rather hoard the information they know than share it for numerous reasons; fear of being let go or fired, sense of job security, not enough time, too busy, […]

Helping Yourself:  How do you stay grounded? What does being grounded mean to you?

Safe Operating Procedures:  How are your processes to understand? Are they confusing, do they make sense? When creating SOP’s, think as if you have been in the company for 2 days and you are having to do this particular process.  Look at it through fresh eyes.  Are there any steps missing? Does it flow and […]

Helping People:  There are lots of ways that we help each other – building fences or sheds, helping with renovations, moving, cooking, cleaning, driving people around, doing errands – all sorts of things.

Showing Appreciation:  How do you show your appreciation to others? We do a lot for people throughout the day and others do a lot for us – do you show appreciation for what others do for you?  Do others show appreciation for what you do. It doesn’t take a lot of effort, time, energy, words […]

SDS – Safety Data Sheets:  Have you changed over your MSDS to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) format – SDS’s? https://hsi.com/blog/safety-data-sheets-under-globally-harmonized-system-ghs https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/environmental-workplace-health/occupational-health-safety/workplace-hazardous-materials-information-system.html It was a lot of work for companies to change over to the GHS, but it was worth the effort, so that everything is consistent and easier to understand and now it’s worldwide […]
