The Renewal of Spring

"The Secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings"-Dave Weinbaun

Spring is one of my favorite seasons. It gives us a chance to reflect back on the year prior,be thank-ful for the present, and be hopeful for the future, as we refresh our minds and bodies. I love waking up to a beautiful bright orange sunrise that greets me as I drink my coffee in my family room and prepare for my day. I can hear the birds outside chirping.As I wait for the bus with my children and do not need my heavy Winter coat I am again reminded how much I do love the warmer weather.I start my day with a walk outside so that I can feel the warm sunshine on my face and remind myself of how very blessed I am for my family and all of the people in my life I love, and reflect on my day ahead. I love the sunroof open and the fresh air coming through the car, and the extra spring in my step. I love to see the buds on the trees starting to blossom, and the tulips rising out of the ground. Springtime offers such bright and vibrant colors in flowers and in our wardrobes. Out with the big coats and sweaters and in with the vibrant colors.I love going to my son's baseball games and seeing all of our friends that we have missed all Winter. The anticipation to when the "pool" will be open, so that we can go into the next season of Summer.

This Spring is even more extraordinary in my professional life as starting my own business has been the greatest adventure.Launching your own company is filled with "firsts" and the unknown.It is an obvious and natural time to feel excitement and anticipation.

In My personal life my children are a constant source of new beginnings. They are always amazing me and fill me with a sense of wonder. I wish you and your loved ones to take the extra time to smell the flowers, listen for the birds chirping, enjoy the beautiful blue sky, go for a walk, breath in the fresh air and give "thanks" for yourself and all that you have in your life as it is a beautiful gift.

Spring is the perfect time to rekindle those “fresh starts”! 
 I think this is the ideal time to look for renewed inspiration in your business and in your life. Inspiration is all around you. The welcome bloom of the trees and the emergence of the first tulips  and crocuses - each serve as a reminder that rebirth is possible.

An uptick in Hiring, Importance of Background Screening

An uptick in Hiring, Importance of Background Screening -KG April 9, 2015 Although some states have changed their laws around medical and recreational marijuana use, more than half of 3,119 HR professionals surveyed said their organizations do not accommodate marijuana use in the workplace or plan to do so in the next year. That is among the findings of HR 2015 Employee Background Screening Benchmark Report, conducted in October and November 2014 with HR professionals responsible for employment screening and recruiting. “This is going to be one of the hottest topics of the year in terms of background screening: drug screening,” said Rachel Trindade, vice president of marketing at HR, a provider of employment background checks, drug and health screenings, and Form I-9 employment verification. Twenty-three states and the District of Columbia have legalized the possession of marijuana for medical use, and four states and the District of Columbia have legaliz

Workplace Violence...Are you and your staff protected??

Workplace Violence: It Can Happen Anywhere HUMAN RESOURCES ARTICLE 08/04/2016 Varying degrees of workplace violence can happen anywhere, and at any time. According to  OSHA , nearly 2 million American workers report having been victims of workplace violence each year, yet many more cases go unreported. While there’s no standard or regulation applicable to workplace violence, OSHA does have a  General Duty Clause  that it enforces, which states among other things that each employer “shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death of serious physical harm to his employees.” While workplace violence may happen anywhere at any time, it may also be instigated by anyone. Violent behaviors may come from a white-collar employee, a blue-collar worker, or a third party–such as customers or an employee's partner. What are some common factors or warning signs to

The pluses and pitfalls of background checks in the automotive field

January 14, 2019 12:00 AM The pluses and pitfalls of background checks Retailers must navigate various federal and state regs, experts say Anisa Jibrell Tweet Share Share Email Print AUTOMOTIVE NEWS ILLUSTRATION Especially for jobs involving handling money and customer information, background checks can be valuable, a dealership group official says. A decade ago when Scottsdale, Ariz., police uncovered a local fraud ring, they learned that breached information came from an unexpected source: an auto dealership finance manager. A background check likely would have paid off for the dealership, Henry Brown Buick-GMC-Pontiac in suburban Gilbert. But even though background checks may seem like an obvious way to protect dealerships from hiring untrustworthy employees, some dealerships don't use them. And dealerships that do rely on background checks must navigate a complex w
