It's a fact of business life that employee productivity depends upon employee health -- in all its dimensions -- and a positive attitude, fostered by management through any and all economic and social change cycles, is as valuable to your company as is its medical insurance plan!

Unfortunately, this reality often gets lost in the press of day-to-day business operations.

In business, change and volatility are to be expected, of course. But underneath all change is an intrinsically human desire for stability, certainty and predictability. How management approaches this universally felt need can make the difference between a positive, productive response to new challenges and an undercurrent of fear and anxiety that is sure to reduce efficiency, creativity and productivity - which translates into higher costs and lowered operational effectiveness.

Dr Valerie Vinar's consultancy service specializes in working with small to mid-size companies, helping them to establish and maintain positive, productive attitudes -- company-wide and through any and every economic, political or social environment.

Invite Dr Val for a visit with your HR professionals. She will show them how, for example, just one of her customized inspirational, motivational programs, "Consistency in a World of Change," can reinforce your corporate vision and mission statements by bringing a new sense of understanding and harmony between and among all of your employees.

This "for instance" program consists of only two three-hour sessions, and it works in all corporate dedpartments, regardless of function. In fact, we uggest that like-minded groupings -- such as sales and marketing, accounting and finance, operations and manufacturing, human resources and corporate communications, etc. be identified for training. In this way, the program may be focused on the particular perspectives, needs and desires of each of these distinct functional units. We also favor this approach because it usually keeps the groups smaller, permitting a focus on individuals as well as on group concerns.

Please call Dr Val at 949-653-2300, or e-mail her for a private conversation and consultation. ...

Your bottom line will be glad you did.
