Welcome to the February edition of the SWK Insider

Referral Marketing
By Jeffrey D. Roth, CEO

We recently had the entire SWK staff come to our headquarters in suburban New York City for some training; our annual post-holiday, non-holiday outing; a quarterly staff meeting and just some good 'ole camaraderie with their fellow SWK teammates. It was productive and worthwhile, and everyone seemed to enjoy being together.

The "face-time" reminded me of just how important it is to do the same, and often with customers and business partners. Throughout the year, I try to visit those who literally drive our business. Some customers, who are loyal and true, enjoy the excellent support they receive from our dedicated Help Desk. While this is something that we consistently get high-marks on, it doesn't replace the need for a personal visit.

"Purchase Agent" is a Must-Have for Purchasing Process
By Patrick Anson

In these hard economic times, it is imperative that we all be as economical and efficient as possible, not to just improve our performance, but to survive.

I've found an outstanding module, the Purchase Agent, that can be added to our clients' Sage MAS 90/200 system to greatly enhance their purchasing abilities. The Purchase Agent, by Synergistic Software Solutions (developers of JobOps), is now available for clients on MAS90 or MAS200, Version 4.30.

Dear Kathleen
Human Resource Insights from Kathleen Weiss

Q – We are an office cleaning company with about 30 employees who work primarily in the evenings and only with limited supervision. Recently, we've had some complaints from a few female employees that some male employees were "inappropriate" in their language and demeanor. The females shared their fears of losing their jobs due to reporting the behavior; although they are paid very little for the work they do, they do, of course, value their jobs.

What is the best way to make sure all our employees feel safe and respected? To add to the problem, many of our workers speak only Spanish. We certainly do not want a sexual harassment lawsuit on our hands!

Thanks,
Frances C.
