Editor's Note
Your small business, or your small business client, faces
myriad problems each day. It would be great if we could just
open the door in the morning, do a day's worth of business,
close the door at night, and rest soundly. Those days do occur,
but frequently the days are instead filled with staffing issues, customer problems, benefits concerns, and other
problems that affect the function of the business. We hope
you'll find in this collection of articles some sound advice
and interesting information that might just help unravel some
of the problems your business has experienced.
As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions as we
strive to provide news and information that is timely and
important to our audience.
Best regards,
