PRANKS should not go too far

With the approach of April 1st commonly touted as "APRIL FOOLS DAY", it is almost certain that each and everyone of you will experience some form of comedy. With that being said, we would like to remind you of the importance of playing appropriate tricks on appropriate people at the appropriate time. The AMNY today has an article titled 'DONT BE A FOOL AT WORK"(page 18); in it describes some less-successful, very costly pranks pulled in the workplace. Now by no means are we looking down on keeping the spirits up in the workplace, however do you remember the purpose of employment- WORK; So, choose wisely in what you choose to engage in with co-workers, and bosses especially. Dont pay a steep price for momentary humor!

SIGN OF THE TIMES

We can all attest to the climate of todays economy. An enigma, at best; You can never truly expect anything except a fight to remain stable in this day and time. Job security and financial stature is not something to be taken lightly for for granted. In a survey conducted by Right Management, a talent and career management expert within Manpower, a world leader in innovative work solutions, "Employee discontent is on the rise, with 84 percent of current employees planning to actively seek new positions in 2011 — up from 60 percent last year, according to a Right Management survey of 1,400 U.S. workers" (Dayton Business Journal).

What does that mean for you? JOBS are opening- stay ahead of the trends. Find upward mobility and security in the CDL INDUSTRY, better known as Commercial Drivers License Industry. RED HOOK ON THE ROAD can train you to obtain your CDL.

A BOOST TO YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

"Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.”

-PAUL J MEYER

Ever feel like your energy or your morale was low And subsequently your output and effectiveness was affected? You are not alone, it happens to the best of us. The key however is the rebound capability. "When you fall you must get up". Here at Red Hook on the Road we are committed to being influential in the revitilization of people's lives. With that being said we are offering you some good techniques on this Monday Morning; techniques which will help you boost your productivity:

1.It is always best to plan for the next day at the end of the day. Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance, prioritize your obligations for the next day and map out the process of execution. A helpful idea is to limit the objective to three tasks, making it easier to accomplish therefore boosting your productivity and self esteem.

2.After you have selected the highest priorities, get to those first. failure to get to others will not dampen your spirit as you will feel accomplised as a result of getting to the most important things on your list.

3.Give yourself a realistic time frame for concentration on tasks. It should not take all day to do anything.

4.Use a calendar or personal journal to track your success. Things always look better in black and white, especially when they are marked with "accomplished"


HAVE A HAPPY AND PRODUCTIVE WEEK.

OPINIONS/OPINIONS

NYC is on the cusp of considering legislation that will prohibit the consumption of food in subways, which is supposed to help with the sanitation of the transit system.
Do you agree with the proposal?

No Ceilings

Have you ever felt like there was no true upward mobility in your current industry or profession? In our experience, that is one of the biggest complaints with employees today- the feeling that there is not light at the end of the tunnel. Jobs are more often dead-end or fill-ins as we like to call them. Gone are the days when a person can look forward to 20+ years of service and healthy pension or nest egg when its all said and done.

Have you ever imagined being a Licensed Commercial Driver? Introduce yourself to a fast-paced, upwardly mobile industry; where performance gets rewarded. We can help you become acclimated with many facets of the Commercial Driving Industry through training you to get your BP or BPS license. Come in for an orientation with us to learn more.

We are open Mon-Fri 9-5pm for persons who would like to bring in their driving abstract to be considered for inclusion into our program.
