How Managers Can Lead for Human Sustainability
This newly improved five-part series covers the essentials of email communication, from determining if email is the right tool for the job to crafting and sending your message with confidence. Find these courses in our Professional Productivity topic.
Setting Priorities
You're working on an important task at work. Then, your boss gives you a project that needs to be done ASAP. A colleague stops by to tell you that they need your help with something that they're working on. Then word comes down that an error has been made and it's an all-hands-on deck situation. What do you do, and where do you start? We've all been in situations like these where we're inundated with seemingly top-priority tasks. This course is designed to help you determine which tasks are the most urgent and important so you can successfully do your job and lower your stress levels.
Stress Management
Welcome to our series on stress management. Eighty percent of workers feel stress on the job, and nearly half of those people say they need help learning how to manage it. But in order to manage stress, you must first understand it. In this program, we'll discuss the different types of stress, common stressors, and the seven signs that indicate you're stressed.
Courses:
Fair Labor Standards Act
The Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, was originally passed in 1938 and is enforced by the United States Department of Labor. You may know that the Act establishes standards regarding two items: minimum wage and overtime pay, but FLSA also establishes standards for employer recordkeeping and youth employment. In this program, we'll answer some common questions regarding FLSA, including who is covered, the differences between exempt versus nonexempt employees, the current minimum wage, overtime pay, workweeks, and age restrictions.
