Right now is the perfect time to offer an incentive cruise to the Bahamas. During the peak of our 2009 global recession, the tourism industry took a big hit as travel plans were rearranged to meet the new budgeting requirements. The island chain of the Bahamas depends upon tourism first in their gross domestic product index, with the tourist dollar supporting over 60% of the economy.
As tourism slowed down in the Bahamas during 2009, sales and discounted rates became commonplace throughout this gorgeous chain of islands that are easily accessible from Florida. When the new Bahamas sales and discounts are coupled into a reasonably priced cruise ship package, this choice of destination can be one of the best incentive plans for your company to offer this year.
Most cruise ship tours to the Bahamas last for 4 to 5 days. All-inclusive shipboard accommodations include lodging, food, and entertainments so that your actual visit to the warm exotic beaches of the Bahamas act as extra icing on the cake. Some companies will sweeten the adventure even further through renting a privately owned elegant island home for their employees to use as a group. Read more...

Just use these hints and you’ll increase your reading speed:
You can read lines of text, more easily, by reading groups of words at one time than reading a single word, and your reading speed increases when you just widen your eye span (peripheral vision).
1. Techniques will teach you have to activate hand-to-eye coordination, then you’ll be speed reading quickly and immediately. Improve your reading abilities for business or personal use with just a little practice. You can double, even triple your current rates of reading without hurting comprehension or retention.
Different speed reading methods for different kinds of reading material:
1. Fiction, especially romance novels. Try speed reading a hot and passionate love scene. You can’t! I don’t speed read romance novels. I don’t know anyone who does that.
2. Non-Fiction. Speed reading is perfect in this dimension. Where there is something to learn that is not based on hot emotions speed reading is great. And it comes in various forms. Newspapers with narrow columns, magazines, with slightly wider columns, books, computer screens, and in the mail and email. Read more...

The world is dominated by life-long learners: the people who take the time to learn everything they can about their chosen field and everything they can about corresponding subjects. The 400 most successful businesspeople “the Forbes 400″ attribute most of their success to reading at least one non-fiction book a month. But, when you have a family and work wants to dominate your time, carving out the time to read all those books can be difficult. New books on every subject are being published every day. How is one supposed to keep up at work or school, spend time with family, and find time to read ten to fifteen extra books a year?
You just can’t add hours to your day, but you can reduce the time it takes to read those books. Learning to speed read is the answer. Cutting your reading time in half or even more would give you the ability to simply devour the books you always wanted to read, the books you know you should read, and the ones you need to read to get ahead.

Lean Six Sigma is an altered form of Six Sigma Training, but also a process all its own in many capacities. Knowing the vital differences that come with Lean can prove to add more to your quality improvement projects than you might have thought possible. There are basic fundamentals of Six Sigma that will not be absent in the Lean process, but there are also a few additions to the process that make it what it is.
Lean Six Sigma focuses on eight elements of waste, or work that doesn’t add value to an organization or company. It has been found that many places that eliminate these wasteful areas can actually improve quality with just that elimination alone. The following is a list of the wastes according to the Lean process, along with examples of what each one alludes to:
-Wasted Human Talent: This category includes any employee that is not pulling their weight, thus slowing the process down. It also includes anyone without a specific job function within the process.
-Defects: This can be products or processes that are not right. These obviously need solutions to fix them before they can be eliminated. Read more...

Purchasing corporate logo clothing for employees to wear allows your business name to be anywhere your employees go. For instance, if an employee is wearing your company’s logo, it can become a conversation piece. Whether the employees wear the logo clothing at work or around town, anyone who sees them will also see your company’s logo. If the company is small and relatively unknown, the company logo apparel can make a great conversation piece when someone asks about the logo. Just getting your company’s logo out there can spread the word about your company.
Corporate promotional apparel can increase employee moral and productivity for at least two reasons. First, employees receive free clothing to wear. Employees enjoy anything that’s free, especially in a rough economy. When their company leverages something for them that is useful, they will feel like the company cares about them and their needs. To increase this positive company-employee relationship and productivity, you can use company logo apparel as a prize after a little competition among employees. This competition automatically increases productivity in employees and the clothing serves as a token of appreciation from the company. In addition, the company not only benefits from the increase in productivity, but also the company receives free advertisement anytime the employee wears the apparel. Read more...
