Regardless of how summer affects your business, Reliance can provide you with the workers you need, when you need them, for as long as you need them.
If you'd like to learn how Reliance can help your business adjust to the demands of the season, visit our blog or contact us.

Social Media: The New Wild West
 As part of Reliance Staffing's mission to be partners in employment with our clients, we like to bring experts in to discuss issues that affect every company. Last week, Reliance was privileged to have our friend Diane Geller from Gentry Locke Rakes & Moore present a seminar on the legal aspects of social media. Social media is a major player in communications today. Yes, it allows us to share trivial details about our lives, but it also allows us to share important information--such as Osama Bin Laden's death--incredibly quickly and with impressive reach to others. It's also a major economic force; Facebook alone has a market valuation of around $70 billion, which is more than the GDP of almost 2/3 of the world's nations.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do to affect the price of gas itself. But you can manage your use of it for business purposes, and you might discover some efficiencies you can keep using when-- if the cost of gas ever goes down again.

How To Make Your Business Unsuccessful and Miserable
 If you've wondered how best to hamstring your employees, alienate your strongest players and otherwise guarantee the failure of your business, organizational psychologist and consultant Ben Dattner believes he's found the secret: create a culture of blame. Dattner recently released a book detailing the damage that blame does to effectiveness called The Blame Game: How Hidden Rules of Credit and Blame Determine Our Success or Failure. According to Dattner, credit and blame are rarely assigned in a fair, consistent manner in the workplace. And the more that people focus on how to avoid blame and garner credit, the more that office morale suffers. Not only do employees start taking unethical measures such as stealing credit and shifting blame, they focus more on office politics than on their actual work - and honestly, can you think of anything less productive and morale-boosting than office politics?
