Avoid these three simple performance management mistakes or you could end up with a date in court.
Lawyers from Landers & Rogers reflect upon a recent decision from the Fair Work Commission which caused a stir in the world of employment law.
Nine Entertainment look set to be the latest organisation with redundancies on the horizon following a companywide memo detailing a need to slash costs.
CEO David Gyngell sent the memo yesterday which addressed all staff, saying the Australian media sector continues to face unprecedented change, and in turn, significant financial challenges. "[In] our place we always call it like it is, rather than just how we would like it to be. And the reality is this: the environment remains difficult and we have to toughen up and find ways to save costs and operate more efficiently," Gyngell said.
At this stage the company has refused to confirm how many jobs could go, but with new owners set to take the reins from next week, job losses appear imminent.
Getting the process right
It is no secret that poor handling of redundancies has been the undoing of countless organisations. According to HR consultancy experts at Randstad, poorly executed redundancies can have long lasting effects and damage relationships with both remaining and departing employees. More than this, a poor redundancy and outplacement experience can have a negative effect on an organisation's employer brand and perception amongst future employees.
For those companies which will have to go through this process throughout the year, Randstad offered these tips:
Prepare for the situation, the questions and possible reactions: How you respond to employee enquiries will likely have long term implications on their confidence, future career path and your organisation's employer brand.
Seek advice: Speak with a colleague who has previously handled a similar situation, or seek advice if there are uncertainties about best practice.
Have support onsite on the day: Have an impartial third party on site on the day – whether in the form of an outplacement consultant, HR manager or business coach, who can provide support to the employee receiving the news as well as the manager imparting the news.
This may have already occurred but before laying off staff due to financial challenges perhaps engage them to help solve the problem. Who knows what they might throw up? I've seen some groups voluntarily reduce their hours across the board to save positions.
The Fair Work Commission has ordered a company to compensate a former employee who was dismissed after domestic violence complicated her ability to attend work.
One HR expert claims that there are certain things today's leaders are doing to push away their best workers – is your company guilty of these?
Australia's second largest bank has announced a hiring freeze in its Australian operations while denying that hundreds of jobs in New Zealand are at risk.

Clay Buchholz got a surprise when he stepped on the scale Monday
|02.21.12 at 10:38 am ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. ' Every spring training, Clay Buchholz' weight seems to be a storyline.
There was great excitement the previous two reporting dates when the 27-year-old came into camp weighing close to 200 pounds.
Then came Monday's physical, a new reality was thrown Buchholz' way: The scale had him at 184 pounds.
While in past years the thinned-down 6-foot-3 might be cause for concern — suggesting that the righty would have a hard time turning in an ample amount of injuries with such a build ' the listed weight might actually be an encouraging sign.
Back injuries and extra weight don't usually go well together, suggesting this is trending in the proper direction
'The weight came off so easy that it felt like it almost needed to come off,' Buchholz said Tuesday morning. 'I feel better now just being able to move around. I feel lighter on my feet than I did last year, all year. It came off quick in a month. That's sort of why I don't mind it.'
Does it mean that this is where the weight should have been all along?
'I hope so, because that's what it feels like,' Buchholz said. 'It feels good.
'I knew I was lighter. I didn't know I was 10 pounds lighter than at the beginning of the offseason. I was talking to Pedroia this offseason and he said, 'They want me to weigh 185, but I feel good playing at 165 or 170. It doesn't matter how much you weigh as long as you can do your job and help the team win.''

Lake Geneva
... and yes, the mountains are impressive.
As we didn't want to take Frankie too high into the alps, we chose a campsite at Lausanne on Lake Geneva. It is known as Lac Leman by the locals. The first day we went to the lake to have a look. The water was clear, blue and very clean. Apparently it has not always been like it and in the 1960's it was too polluted to swim in. When you stay ...

... lunch down the road in Montreux and walked the edge of the lake...overcast & light snow falling...rather chilly!! Toured Geneva by bus seeing all the highlights including UN, WHO & the giant chair with a leg missing!! Tour dinner tonight.. Our last one with the group. Tomorrow will be going to Chamonix & Mt Blanc in France...apparently it was minus 20 up there today!!! ...
... handy! (I had bought an open ended ticket)After we asked if he could bring us the bill - man we got a shock! They had only charged us 50 francs for dinner and 15 francs for the wine!!!! We were so amazed since it was such an excellent meal. We tipped them though, as we felt they certainly deserved it.

Nationals reliever David Carpenter has stopped his throwing program as he continues to recover from right shoulder inflammation after feeling discomfort while playing catch off flat ground.
Rookie right-hander Joe Ross had made spot starts for the Nationals before, but this was no ordinary outing.
Matt Harvey has dominated his fair share of lineups throughout his brief MLB career and the Nationals are no stranger to what he's capable of.
Ian Desmond entered Monday's game hitless in his previous 17 at-bats, a streak that dated back to July 10, a span of 10 days.
FINAL: Nationals 7, Mets 2

Step 1: Materials
mini mag flashlight
LED White bulb (I got mine at radio shack. Get the super bight white ones)
soldering iron with solder
copper wire
duck tape
watch battery (3 volts) (can be found at radio shack get a big one)
Instead of using a watch battery you can use 2 double A taped together with copper wire runing from one positive to one negative. (it is cheaper and it's a lot brighter) ( but it's bigger)
Step 2: Sodering iron
Step 3: The casing
Step 4: Putting it together
Step 5: Battery
Lithium batteries are NOT to be used in this fashion. They can start fires at over 2,000 F and be inextinguishable, until the oxygen is smothered.
If you're looking for a smaller and brighter flashlight, try a Fenix LD01 or a Streamlight Stylus.
I love my Fenix LD01 and it outputs about the same as a normal 4-D cell flashlight, but it only is the size of a AA battery, and takes AAA rechargeables.

It recently completed a buyout of third-ranked Greek rival Eurobank.The new National Bank group will have assets of over 170 billion euros ($222 billion) and serve 18 million customers daily.Greek banks last year sustained significant losses in a sovereign debt write-down of more than 100 billion euros and a subsequent debt buy-back.Their recapitalisation is a condition for the continued release of EU-IMF rescue loans for Greece's crisis-hit economy.A sum of 50 billion euros has been earmarked for this purpose out of the total EU-IMF bailout fund of 240 billion euros.At least 10 percent of new capital must come from private investors to keep the banks from being nationalised.The process is expected to be completed in April, though the banks are hoping to postpone this deadline.NBG in particular has pointed to its ongoing merger with Eurobank as justification for a delay, Greek reports said.jph/jhb

Lack of answers around pill death
Relevant offers
The father of a Pahiatua 18-year-old, who died after taking mystery pills a friend found in a cupboard, says a coroner's inquest has shed no new light on his son's death.
Shae Hemopo was found dead at a rural Pahiatua property on the morning of July 7, 2012.
Coroner Christopher Devenport said the teenager's death could not be put down to a specific cause.
He found that Hemopo spent the night drinking with three friends - who have name suppression - before one of them procured some pills they said they found in a kitchen cupboard.
The three friends confirmed that they all took half a pill each, then another half, before going to bed. Hemopo never woke up.
The death was initially treated as unexplained, but was referred to the coroner after a pathologist found anti-psychosis drug clozapine in Hemopo's system.
It was likely the clozapine contributed to his death.
While the amount of clozapine in Hemopo's blood was not excessive - less than a fifth of the lowest known fatal level in other cases - an expert told the coroner the drug killed one of every 3000 people who took it.
Hemopo appeared to have been that one, the coroner said.
Only five people in Tararua were prescribed clozapine, and, while Hemopo's friends knew one of them, his drugs were well controlled and had never noticeably gone missing.
The coroner said he was satisfied the clozapine did not come from that person, who also has name suppression, and whoever put the pills in the cupboard remained a mystery.
Hemopo's father, Mark Hemopo, said the family had to fight to get the inquest, as the coroner originally wanted to make a chambers finding.
They wanted the inquest because there had been various rumours about the circumstances in which the pills were found. Although the coroner found that his son took one and one of the three men had admitted burning the pills and packaging before the ambulance arrived, he wanted to know why.
The coroner found that the three men made statements to police that had not disclosed the use of the pills, and denied use of the pills, before later admitting that they and Hemepo had consumed pills, as well as alcohol, that night.
But the inquest had not provided the answers they were looking for, Mark Hemopo said.
The coroner's warning against taking mystery pills was common sense.
"You don't have to go through an inquest to tell your children that."
His son had a building apprenticeship with a person who acted as a life mentor, and was doing well.
"He was in a perfect place, and a great kid. It's an absolute waste."
His son smoked a little marijuana but had been taught to never try anything if he did not know what it was, Mark Hemopo said.
Attempts by the Manawatu Standard to contact Shae Hemopo's three friends were unsuccessful.

Seattle Mariners' Felix Hernandez Shines Brightest in Battle of Aces
In a rare exhibition of Felix Hernandez starting an interleague game on the road, Seattle Mariners fans got to see him with a bat in hand three times on the night.
The Mariners are in California for a two-game set against the San Diego Padres. They sent their respective ace out to the mound in hopes of ending a three-game win steak by the Mariners. Starting pitcher Andrew Cashner spent some time on the disabled list earlier this season. When he has been healthy, Padres fans would be hard pressed to suggest another guy more deserving of a 2014 All-Star game appearance than Cashner.
If Cashner was Superman tonight, Hernandez was nearly Kryptonite. Felix was not at all magnanimous against the competition. He was downright dirty by humbling an already rather futile Padres lineup. Cashner allowed only one run over seven strong innings. Hernandez, on the other hand, retired 15 consecutive hitters during the game at one point. He fanned 10 batters in his seven innings, the second time in June King Felix has reached double digits in strikeouts.
Unfortunately for both starters in the game, there was little run support. Though both pitchers lived up to their designation of being the team ace, both were left with no decisions and this game game was put in the hands of the bullpen.
Both Hernandez and Cashner deserve to appear in the All-Star Game this July for their respective ball clubs. However, right now in their careers, the only thing Cashner can brag about having over Hernandez is a higher career batting average. Hernandez plays in the AL and does not get to take many live hacks at the plate. His career AVG is .125, whereas Cashner's is .198.

LONDON, February 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The creative team behind Honda's recent smash-hit viral film 'Hands' is aiming for further success with a new TV advertising campaign to welcome the Civic Tourer into Honda dealerships across the UK.
The campaign celebrates the idea that beauty is about much more than what appears on the surface. The creative plays to the trend in design, engineering and wider society of looks being valued over substance. The viewer is taken on a journey through various objects, including a golf ball, suitcase, chest of drawers and a guitar amp, to reveal the inner beauty of each.
It then goes on to position the new Civic Tourer as another perfect example of 'Inner Beauty'; dynamic and sporty-looking, yet under the surface there lies practicality and function. That hidden substance includes a huge, class-leading 624 litres of boot space, secret storage compartments, concealed door handles, innovative safety features and Honda's unique 'Magic Seats'.
'Inner Beauty' comes hot on the heels of the critically acclaimed 'Hands' film, which to date has received almost 10 million views and won two awards. Creative agency Wieden+Kennedy London has once again teamed up with directors Smith and Foulkes of Nexus Productions to create the new campaign.
Inner Beauty debuts as a 60-second spot on 3 February; followed by further 60- and 30-second spots on television and video-on-demand. The full 60-second film can also be seen on Honda (UK)'s YouTube channel - http://bit.ly/1daGwvK
Olivia Dunn, Head of Marketing for Honda (UK) comments: "Take a first glance at the Civic Tourer and you see a great-looking car. This campaign takes the viewer beyond that first appearance to emphasise the balance between style and performance, and the incredible practicality that the car delivers. Once again the team behind 'Hands' has brought the message to life in a fresh, innovative and compelling way in line with Honda's high standards and unique style."
As with many Honda commercials of recent years, the creative idea for the new campaign was in part inspired by time spent interviewing Honda engineers. Adrian Killham, Chief Engineer for the new Civic Tourer spoke at length to the team behind 'Inner Beauty' about the considerable amount of time spent on the design of both the exterior and interior, and his hope that people would want to look deeper than what's on the surface to discover what lies beneath.
Scott Dungate, Creative Director at Wieden+Kennedy London, adds, "Beauty is more than just the outside. Beauty also lies inside, in how something fits together and works. We wanted to create a film that yes, showed the external beauty of the car, but also celebrated the wonder of the inside and how it works."
To celebrate this new campaign, Honda (UK) will be running a five-day Twitter competition, launching on 3 February to coincide with the new TV adverts' premiere. A short hypnotic loop from the ad will be Tweeted daily, each clip featuring a cleverly concealed word that relates to a great prize. Fans will need to find the hidden word and tweet it to @Honda_UK, using the hashtag #CivicTourer for the chance of win. Prizes include a camera, £743 to spend in one of the world's most famous department stores (reflecting the car's 74.3mpg performance) and a holiday for two. Follow @Honda_UK on Twitter for further information.
Designed and developed in Europe, the British-built Civic Tourer delivers distinctive styling, class-leading utility, advanced technology and an impressive balance between fuel economy and performance. With the lightest in class and super-frugal 1.6 i-DTEC engine, the first from Honda's next generation Earth Dreams Technology range, the 1.6 diesel version offers low running costs with a highly competitive 74.3mpg and CO2 emissions from just 99g/km. The new Civic Tourer is the world's first production car to feature a Rear Adaptive Damper System and features an all-new suite of innovative passive and active safety systems.
The new Civic Tourer is available to order now, arriving in dealerships in February 2014, with OTR prices starting from £20,265 for the 1.8 i-VTEC S model. For further information please visit http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/civictourer/

MYRTLE BEACH,S.C.(July 9, 2014) - The Myrtle Beach Pelicans, Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Texas Rangers, are pleased to announce that they are adding additional $1.00 beer nights to the 2014 line-up. Additional nights will include:
Prior to the season the Pelicans worked with the league office to make significant changes to their 2014 schedule. These changes resulted in the team having at least one home game each week, and allowing every tourist the opportunity to experience a Pelicans game while in Myrtle Beach.
"For us, it's all about providing a great experience to our fans," stated Senior Director of Community Development Jen Borowski. "With so many visiting from out of town we want to make sure they are able to experience as much of Pelicans Baseball as possible."
One such example is the nightly Kids Run the Bases promotion. Most Minor League ballparks, and some Major League parks, do the same promotion but only once a week. The Pelicans, with the ultimate fan experience in mind, do it every game. Following that same line of thought, the team has added four additional $1.00 beer nights to the 2014 season. The chosen nights occur during weeks without a traditional Thirsty Thursday.
"Thirsty Thursday is our most popular night with both locals and tourists," stated General Manager Andy Milovich. "When discussing our goals for the 2015 schedule with our owner, Chuck Greenberg, he commented 'wouldn't it be great to be home every Thursday?' We quickly realized that beyond the alliteration of Thirsty Thursday, the magic was in the 'Thirsty' and every visitor to the Grand Strand should have a chance to enjoy a great summer evening at TicketReturn.Com Field with a $1.00 beverage regardless of the limitations of our schedule."
Stadium Journey Magazine has ranked the Pelicans as a top three Minor League stadium experience and a top 25 stadium experience in all of sports the last two years. The magazine is currently evaluating MiLB parks for its 2014 rankings and Special Correspondent Harrison Huntley paid a visit to TicketReturn.Com Field earlier this month. Huntley's official review, titled "That's the Ticket", gave the Pelicans a FANFARE Score of 4.6 out of a possible 5.
For tickets to the August 2 or any Pelicans home game call (843) 918-6002, visit www.MyrtleBeachPelicans.com or stop by the Pelicans box office, which is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
