Here’s my Andy Warhol job on of one of Matt’s cartoons:
According to the DOL they need more employees so they can do a better job of investigating and regulating already stressed employers. Who says government work doesn’t pay?!
We are big fans of the Motley Fools. The folks at the Motley Fool like the idea of a financial health day so much, they held a companywide event this spring. We thought it was such a great idea we got permission to share this with all our HR That Works Members. In this special report, they explain what they did and how you can sponsor such a shindig at your office. Even if your financial health day is a solo affair in the comfort of your home, use the checklist in this bonus PDF report to identify important tasks you can accomplish.
NPR did a great three-part series on the workplace. To listen to or read it go to http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124611210. Perhaps of most interest to me were the posts generated by working moms and others http://www.npr.org/templates/story/storyComments.php?storyId=124616719.

What follows is the Agenda and tuition information for the school. We’ve done eight programs so far and they were a great success. Even if you attended a program in the past, this is one not to miss.

So, What’s this School Going to Cost?
If I told you it would be $1,995 for the two days…it would be worth it! But it’s not. The cost is only $795 which includes all meals, handouts and tons of learning. If a second person from your company wishes to attend they can come for only $297.
We have great rooms rates ($119 per nite) and airfaires to Orlando are very reasonable. (I got my RT tickets from San Diego on SWA for only $250). The hotel has a shuttle so you don’t even need a car. And, like many attendees you may even spend a few days afterwards enjoying all that Orlando in January has to offer.
So, start off the New Year right!
Early Sign Up Discount
If you sign up by December 11th I will discount your tuition to only $597. So hurry. The offer won’t be available after that. Fact is, early registration helps us on the planning side so we are willing to pay for it! Early bird promotion code: early
