How To Avoid An IT Staffing Nightmare
|
As CEO, you're likely convinced that having an IT department in your company is critical, but as far as the task of actually hiring
technowizards - you've probably happily left that to somebody else. You're not in the HR department, right?
But when your computer or the network goes down, you're going to be in the same boat as every other employee - helplessly reliant
on the folks in the IT department to fix whatever's ailing. But what if the wrong people have been hired? What if they're not
really qualified for the specific tasks needed to complete your company's timely projects? The costs of the ensuing delays could
be astronomical. So how do you make sure you find the right person, particularly in an environment where there seem to be a million
other companies looking for people with the same capabilities and expertise? Here are some tips.

Spending wisely during down times
|
Conventional wisdom suggests that during a recession, companies should preserve cash wherever possible.
Of course, this “wisdom” ignores two very important facts. First, if everyone follows that advice, then
recession will quickly turn to depression as demand for goods and services evaporates. Second, and most
importantly, recessions tend to drive prices downward, resulting in opportunities to invest in infrastructure,
cost-saving, or productivity assets at a significant discount.
Making these kinds of investments now will make your company even more profitable when the economy turns around.
Here are the four most common investment ideas collected through discussions with CIOs and technical managers.

1. Dual displays
2. Increase workstation memory
3. Go mobile
4. Virtual machine technology

Working Out at Work
It's hard to find time to exercise, but now you don't have that excuse anymore. You may think you don't have time to workout at work,
but there are opportunities everywhere if you pay attention. All it takes is a little planning and some inspiration to squeeze in the
exercise all day long.
The Basics
You already know the drill about being more active at work. Take the stairs whenever you can, park further away from the door, etc.
But, there are some other things you may not have considered.
Sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair.
Set an alarm to go off every hour to remind you to stand up and move around.
Use the restroom on another floor and take the stairs
Use the restroom on another floor and take the stairs
Leave something important in your car (your lunch, your briefcase, etc.) so you have to
run out to get it (and take the stairs)
Deliver documents or messages to co-workers in person rather than by email
Go to the mall for lunch and park on the opposite end of the food court.
Get a headset for your phone so you can move around while you talk.
