8 Reasons Your Employees Don't Care
by Jeff Haden
Pay only goes so far. Higher salaries are like the
bigger house syndrome: Move into a bigger house and initially it feels
roomier, but after awhile larger becomes the new normal.
Employees
don't automatically perform at higher levels if wages are higher
because commitment, dedication, and motivation are not based on pay. No
matter how high the salary, if you treat employees poorly they won't
care - about their jobs or your business.
Here are a few reasons why employees don't care:
1.
No freedom. Best practices are
definitely important, but not every task deserves a best practice or
micro-managed approach.
2.
No targets. Goals are fun. (I've
never met anyone who wasn't at least a little bit competitive.) Targets
create a sense of purpose and add meaning to even the most repetitive
tasks.

Inactivity Timeout
by Rockton Software
Got deadbeats hogging your Dynamics GP licenses? 
If you've got a lot of users and limited licenses, don't
waste money buying more licenses that you don't need.
With
Inactivity Timeout, when a person logged into Microsoft Dynamics GP
sits idle for too long, they are logged out gracefully
to free up that license. You set the time limit, and if they haven't
worked in GP, they are kicked out.
One
more license free. More freedom for you.

Meet Sherwood Systems' Customer:
M & R Trucking
M & R Trucking, Inc. is a privately owned oil and
gas trucking and storage service company based out of Farmington,
NM. They have been in business for 31 years and employ about 150
people at their two locations in New Mexico and Colorado.
Back in 2006, the oil and gas industry was booming and
M & R Trucking was experiencing growing pains to
keep up
with the increase in business and volume. They had Microsoft Dynamics
GP in place for their accounting solution, but their financial
reporting and analysis was manual and extremely time consuming.
In 2006, Sherwood Systems met with M & R
Trucking for a review of their business needs and began implementing
the following solutions:
- Profit
and Loss statements for each truck showing repairs, maintenance,
fuel, tires, GPS tracking and more for their fleet of 100+
trucks.
- Streamlined
Collections process
- Electronic
invoicing - using integrations, data is uploaded and
electronically sent to customers
- Reporting changes which
allow for accurate, timely and complete information.
M & R Trucking now has increased confidence in their
financial statements and reports. They trust that their Microsoft
Dynamics GP solution is giving them an accurate snapshot of where they
stand each day, each month, and each year. Thanks to Sherwood Systems,
M & R Trucking now understands the ins and outs of the system as
well as the benefits each module can bring to their company.
According to Cherise Brown, M & R Trucking's
financial administrator, "Needless
to say, we are a much more efficiently run business now due to the
wonderful support at Sherwood Systems. I would highly recommend
Sherwood and
Microsoft Dynamics GP to anyone."
