Managing Multiple Deliverables with a Small Staff  

Managing multiple deliverables with a small staff is a discipline unto itself, different from those departments where each writer has specific responsibilities. In this environment, each member is required to have multiple skills and the flexibility to jump from one project to the next quickly. Because of the demands, heavy training costs are often incurred, and the involvement of other departments is mandatory, all of which makes management support essential. It is an exhilarating, often exhausting environment, but the rewards are multiple skills, a wide variety of assignments, and the satisfaction of being part of a tightly-knit, highly-productive team.

Star Wars Meets Employers: Creative Ways to Reward Employees  

The panelists represent managers from manufacturing, consulting, software and internet companies. Panelists will share with the audience: meaningful ways to motivate, acknowledge, and reward employees and teams, what works and what doesn't for employees who are older, younger, geographically separated, and telecommuters, and creative ways to reward employees on a shoestring.
