An employee at your jewelry business continues to arrive late to his shift. After a month of this occurring and no change in behavior, you decide that it's in your best interest to fire this person.
Now, did you just make an effective management decision, or commit a misguided human resources error that could potentially cost your business hundreds of thousands of dollars?
It’s 9 o’clock on a Saturday and a not-so-regular crowd shuffles in. What would you do and how would the rest of your coworkers react when confronted with suspicious individuals or behaviors?
If you’ve been trained to spot these incidents as they occur, but are still unsure or indecisive about the correct actions to take, your business could be at a higher risk of facing a loss.
Whether you get your long-term winter weather forecast from a meteorologist or a groundhog, it’s usually hard to trust their judgment – no matter how sophisticated their methods may be.
Your approach to prepare your business for adverse weather, however, can be straightforward and all-encompassing.
The best solution for determining how to maintain your business during winter is to make the assumption that your facilities can withstand the worst Mother Nature throws at it.
Knowing how to properly ship jewelry is half the battle. If you aren’t adequately prepared and know how to receive jewelry correctly, you could still face a potentially large loss.
Don’t be fooled by the chances of loss resulting from receiving, either. While the question marks and endless possibilities of shipping mishaps can be laid to rest after knowing that the jewelry has made it safely to your business, a mindless accident could still occur.
