Labor Law Seminar

A MUST-ATTEND Seminar Before Initiating Any Disciplinary Measure

Discover TIPS, TRICKS and TECHNIQUES that can SAVE You Headaches and Huge Expenses.

Employee discipline is the most challenging task of a Human Resource Officer. Poor handling of employee discipline may lead to eventual award of back wages, separation pay, damages and attorney’s fees.

Effective employee discipline entails knowledge of the laws affecting the rights of workers. It is not just important to know the procedural requirements in exercising disciplinary measures to workers. It is equally important to have a prior basic knowledge of the Constitutional mandates and pro-labor policies of the state, the laws governing employment relations, the limits and extents of management prerogatives and the rights of workers.

Retargeting – Clients need to stay engaged with their target market after initial contact. Retargeting aggressively presents their clients relevant ads across the internet. Businesses need to make sure their brand is on top of the consumers’ list when they are ready to buy products and services.

Affiliate Marketing – is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts. The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as ‘retailer’ or ‘brand’), the network (that contains offers for the affiliate to choose from and also takes care of the payments), the publisher (also known as ‘the affiliate’), and the customer.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization (SEO), paid search engine marketing (PPC – Pay Per Click), e-mail marketing, and in some sense display advertising. (Wikipedia Notes).

The POWER to SUCCCEED

Be involved with the top inspirational and motivational speaker here in our country! Attend the success seminar of Mr. Chinkee Tan “Chink Positive”. Chinkee will share the roadmap for success and will help you to achieve your maximum potential.

Everyone wants to become successful!

I have never encountered anyone who refuses to become successful.

But the question we need to ask is “How come not everyone is successful and some are struggling to become one?”

1. People don’t know what they want.

2. People don’t have a clear mission and vision in life.

3. People lack of a defined strategy on how to get there.

4. Fear of failure comes first before the benefit of success.

5. They are confuse in determining the right opportunities in life.

Have you ever feel that you are tired, helpless, and caught in the same situation? If you answered YES, then now is the time to opt for CHANGE!

You may ponder on these for a NEW breathe of LIFE!

LEARN HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL PERSON THE RIGHT WAY!

The difference between a successful person and the unsuccessful is not the lack of desire but it is rather the lack of know how and will.

Defining success is a challenge task. Most people equate it with money, fame, and power. However, true success is not a thing you acquire or achieve but it is dependent on the value of the beholder.
