Add You - Corporate Self-Defense Training - 8 Reasons To Include It In Your Company's Wellness Program
One day at the office I was taken quite aback when I attempted to open an Excel spreadsheet I'd created and was prompted with the message: File in Use. Open as a read-only file? File in use? What was that all about? It was, after all, my file. Who else would be using it?The answer to that last question was, of course, anyone. Anyone at all could be using it. I worked in a company with 200+ employees and most of our documents were saved on drives with shared access. My file, essentially, was available to anyone in the entire company, from upper management to the receptionist, on a whim.With large network systems and often multiple branches, many companies these days have shared drives where employees in different regions can access the same files. Often, those companies limit the size of the hard drives on individual computers to minimize the saving of files onto the computer itself, forcing employees to store their important files where all can see.Some files, by nature, need to be shared. Often spreadsheets and other documents are pa

More and more businesses are adding the additional benefit of in-house self-defense training. Whether in the form of seminars, on-going courses, or video programs, companies are seeing the value in providing important life-saving skills to their employees benefits package. So much so that they're becoming regular occurances in many organizations.
It's easy to see why those involved in the law enforcement and security industries would have such training, but who else has to worry about self-defense issues? In fact, companies, like hospitals, real-estate companies, and those who have employees required to travel as a part of their job, are taking a proactive role in making sure that valuable members of their team are safe. The number of companies who have or regularly experience violence in the workplace, criminal attacks, and now, the added threat of international terrorism, is increasing at an alarming rate.

As we all work hard to grow in our careers, we must not lose sight of what is most important in life. Sure, it's great to drive a great car, live in a comfortable neighborhood and "keep up with the Joneses," but there is more to it all than that. At the root of everything is providing for our families, which are there for us through thick and thin. They are the real reason for our hard work and sacrifice.When you see wealthy neighborhoods, they are impressive. Big homes, well manicured lawns with gardeners to tend to them, and usually, an expensive car in the driveway. Behind every one of those lovely places is a hardworking person or people, who devote much time and energy to affording such a lifestyle. Some have to work harder than others, but in general it is a big job to keep the bills paid on upscale homes.As a child, we lived in one of those homes. It was seven stories tall and was built into the side of a cliff formed by glacial rock. Though it didn't have an elevator, all our neighbors called it, the "Elevator House" because it was tall and imposing.

Often maintenance systems don’t reap the benefits that they promise through no fault of their own. How can you expect a system to improve underlying data? The answer is that you can’t. What you need is to have good data in the system so that it can be accessed, processed and used to provide practical information for the organization.Let me illustrate the cost of not having good data with an example. A multi-site manufacturer has four locations, three of which are in fairly close proximity to each other. Each site has its own autonomous storeroom with inventory parts. At each site, there is a part time catalog manager responsible for all database activity. Because the plant is unionized and positions often change, the catalog manager may be replaced every few months.The resulting inventory catalogs reflect this: inconsistent manufacturer naming; missing manufacturer part numbers; inconsistent use of symbols/abbreviations; spelling mistakes; incomplete descriptions and; duplicate items. System word searches are next to impossible and finding a part is

Keeping your personal and professional lives balanced can be tricky when you are in sales or running your own business. While every person has a different definition of what living a balanced life means, every definition includes some variation of having enough time for family, community, and, of course, work.It has been said many times that if your life is in balance, your checkbook will not be. The people who feel this way are often the ones who sit at their desk at the end of the day looking at their unfinished work. Instead of closing the laptop and heading home, they pick up the phone to call their spouse, letting them know they will not be home for dinner again this evening. While this extra work has merit, their personal life is obviously out of balance.On the other side of the coin, there are those who try to balance their lives by leaving unfinished work on their desk, closing their laptop and heading home for the day. They shirk their work responsibilities to make sure they are going home to spend quality time with the family. While this atti

Other than the primary benefit of teaching your employees how to defend themselves against a physical attack - there are very significant reasons why your company might want to offer such a program. Just as with any insurance, the benefit is in the peace of mind and knowledge that you're protected. But, unlike most insurance policies that are virtually invisible until damage occurs, the secondary benefits of providing self-defense training in your workplace are readily apparent almost from the beginning.
Here are 8 great reasons to include personal protection training as a part of your organization's staff training agenda.
1. Employees who are capable of protecting themselves are more confident.
This directly affects their level of performance and therefor their leadership potential. Untrained individuals tend to avoid situations where they are required to be open to new situations and people.
