Making your office a fun place to work.

LA provides the Legal Management Resource Center (LMRC ) which contains terrific articles and other materials many of which are free and don’t require an ALA Membership. One such article is Put On a Happy Face (and Mean It). Ponder these Points to Make Your Firm a More Pleasant Place to Workhttp://thesource.alanet.org/imageserver/plumtree/portal/public/img/sp.gif .

No longer is telecommuting a rarity; organizations now exist to provide information and assistance such as the American Telecommuting Association, the International Telework Association & Council and the Society for Human Resource Management.
