Welcome to the first issue of LeadingEdition!  

Human Resource Services is pleased to bring you a new electronic newsletter especially for people who supervise staff at Purdue.

  Don't give much thought to overtime?  Better think again.   

Dedicated operations assistant Mary sits at her desk most days while she eats her lunch.  During this time she answers the phone, responds to University e-mail, and takes instructions.  You've never asked her to work extra hours and, in fact, have told her just to relax during her lunch hour.

  Avoid overtime woes through proper workplace atmosphere and communication

Overtime!  It is hard to believe that one word could cause so much confusion and create so many problems.

  Recruiting the workforce of tomorrow

In an era of increasing global competition and scarce qualified human capital resources, it is critical that hiring supervisors develop a recruitment plan to meet their future needs.

  Ethics for supervisors

What is the "right" thing to do?
