Axsium Group to Host Free Webinar on Enterprise Attendance Management Featuring a Case Study on June 8, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time

In many industries, turnover and absenteeism are significant sources of unproductive labor cost. Most companies have a desire to reduce turnover and absenteeism but are not equipped to identify the causes or offer tangible solutions. This webinar, hosted by Axsium Group, will present an approach to dramatically reducing turnover and absenteeism through Enterprise Attendance Management.

"Most companies today have very little idea of the cost of employee turnover and unplanned absenteeism", according to Tim Lett, Axsium Group's Managing Partner. "At many of our clients, senior management is shocked to learn that turnover and absenteeism costs them millions of dollars per year. An Enterprise Attendance Management program is a highly effective tool available to combat the avoidable costs associated with employee turnover and absenteeism. By monitoring employee attendance and providing mechanisms to both incent and reward exceptional attendance and discourage and discipline poor attendance, Attendance Management has the potential to deliver significant hard dollar benefits and improve overall employee morale"

Homeowner's have become use to setting a price on a property and waiting for buyers to beat down the door, frequently offering over asking price. That is not happening much any more.

Buyers were ignoring cosmetic defects. After a home inspection sellers in the up market were able to tell buyers they were fixing nothing and if the buyer did not buy the home there were plenty of back up buyers in line.
