			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We finally had our COCP meeting last Friday after a long break. It was a jolly good time even as we updated ourselves on the newest development from Inscape Publishing. We introduced the Everything DiSC Application Library &#8211; Sales &amp; Management modules. In the pipeline, there will be Leadership, Customer Service &amp; Team modules as well.</p>
<p>Most participants found the networking and sharing of best practices most beneficial. They liked the video roleplay on the importance of adapting to our customers and have indicated that they plan to implement it in their organization &amp;/or personal life. Quite a few expressed interest in learning how to use DiSC for Talent Management.</p>
<p>Other suggestions include a year calendar of COCP Meeting Dates so that overseas participants might make plans. This would be shared soon. Do join us!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#333333;">Hi friends! It’s been a while since our last e-newsletter. First and foremost, please accept our apologies for taking so long a break. Hope the year has been good to you. We are replacing the e-newsletter with this blog, so as to facilitate sharing between us, so please tag us!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">In this issue, we’ve prepared for you a write-up on the Work Expectations profile which may be used for the purpose of Employee Retention.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">Check out an account on one of our recent In-House Customized Psychometrics Certification Program @ </span><a href="http://www.oticonsulting.com/4.1.6_june08.htm"><span style="color:#333333;">http://www.oticonsulting.com/4.1.6_june08.htm</span></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">We wish you pleasant and fruitful reading and would appreciate any feedback you may have.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;"> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_11" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 202px"><span style="color:#333333;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-11   " src="http://communityofcertifiedpractitioners.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/pic1.jpg?w=192&#038;h=191" alt="" width="192" height="191" /></span><p class="wp-caption-text">Focused, motivated and engaged employees are the key to sustainable growth</p></div>
<div><span><span><br />
</span></span></div>
<h3><strong><span style="color:#333333;">Holding on to that vital resource</span></strong></h3>
<div>
<div>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">Have you ever wondered what makes a good company great? It&#8217;s the people. Committed, productive employees are key to organizational success. The challenge, then, is retaining and developing satisfied, committed employees. It is of vital importance to determine what motivates your human resources. Understand that employees are motivated by very different needs.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">The Work Expectations Profile is an engaging, self-directed learning instrument which can help your employees understand and manage their work expectations. Research has shown that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations have better attitudes and enjoy greater job satisfaction than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">It makes it easier for managers and employees to dialogue about their work expectations. The Gap Analysis provides participants with an at-a-glance look at how important each Work Expectation category is to them and to what degree each is being met. This helps them quickly pinpoint which Work Expectations categories need the most attention. </span></p>
