17 April - Labour

Today we spoke to John Lloyd - Business Growth Strategist, Speaker - Columnist and Seminar Leader. We were talking about negotiating a salary that you deserve. You know many people are taught not to ask for money. The question is if you need to ask for the salary you deserve, even if this makes you uncomfortable how do you do it without feeling like you are greedy or you too forward. John explained the factors you should consider before negotiating for a better salary. Remember a salary negotiation isn't over until you've discussed benefits (holidays, insurance, pension, etc.) For more information on John go to www.brandstorm.co.za or call 083 638 8788.

And last but not least we were joined by Mandla Malgas – from the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration. We were continuing our talk about Insubordination. It is broadly defined as an unwillingness to submit to authority either through an open refusal to obey an order or through a failure to carry one out, is a common problem in the workplace. Mandla explained the appropriate response to insurbodination and discipline is one of the best responses. For more information you can contact the CCMA on (021) 469 0111 or visit www.ccma.org.za
