A warehouse is the nerve center for a material handling business. It houses your products, provides a work area for employees, and is the setting for key points in the supply chain operation. Keeping your warehouse safe is of paramount importance, not only to fulfill legal responsibilities but also in maintaining good business practices. Scheduling regular inspections as part of your operational calendar is a means for maintaining optimal conditions. read more
Spring is here! …finally in Minnesota at least! Warmer weather means it’s finally time to start cleaning out what may have been piling up in your warehouse over the winter. As a warehouse manager/director, you’re busy, and like most busy people, you don’t have much room on your plate for anything that isn’t already there. Just like you won’t have time for any potential on-the-job hazards, or forklift accidents.

It’s routine for administrative professional assistants to perform “above-and-beyond” tasks for their bosses and companies. They screen calls and emails, manage calendars and schedules, organize meetings, handle travel arrangements, track expenses, resolve administrative issues, run errands, maintain organization, put out small and large fires, and the list goes on. Executives would be lost without them.
This year’s Administrative Professional’s Day falls on April 25th with the whole week used to observe the event. Office professionals say they’re more likely to stay where they feel appreciated, so it’s time to show your employees how much you value them. If you haven’t already, do something to recognize the hard work your office personnel are performing each day.read more
