5 Essential Tips To Motivate Your Temporary and Seasonal Employees
"Hi Shawn, Definitely. A very good point to add. I don't think most businesses think about the branding value involved... But I think the businesses that already invest in their permanent workers in this way (ie with an eye on their career development) are *also* investing in their temp staff. It goes hand in hand. They don't need to read my post. Before a business can get to this point, the first step is recognizing the basic value of their employees-the permanent ones as well as the temp ones.

"Hi Yoni, Yeah, except that if you had never left like that then you wouldn't have been as motivated to get your freelance business up and running. It's not pleasant when someone steals your work/ideas. It *was* time for you to leave... And there are other people out there who may need to suddenly quit their jobs to take advantage of an opportunity that would be lost if they stayed on in their full-time situation. My point: *every* situation is really unique. Thanks for the comment... and sharring. Adam"Those Damn Customers Just Get In The Way Of Doing Business!
