Men and women are different.

Examine your existing incentive programs. Study your incentives to make sure they aren't geared toward only male workers. Build in rewards for group achievements. Studies show that women are better at building consensus than their male counterparts. Help women workers map out a career plan. The glass ceiling still looms large at many organizations. Work with female employees to set goals and career paths. Put more emphasis on recognition. The history of corporate America's discrimination against women is still fresh in the minds of many and, because of that, women appear to value meaningful recognition more than some men.

Don't be caught napping.

Private employers with 50 or more employees and all public employers are bound by the Family Leave Act. These employers must extend 12 weeks (nonconsecutive) of unpaid leave in a one year period for birth or adoption; care for a spouse, child or parent; and the employee's own "serious health condition."

E-mail's from hell: don't get burned.

E-mail's growing popularity and unmonitored use is putting employers at risk. E-mail messages are not the personal property of the employee who generates them, and therefore, workers have no right to privacy regarding them. The National Institute of Business Management recommends that employers monitor employees' e-mail messages for evidence of discriminatory material.

Reference checking: don't get lost in the translation.

Reference checking these days has gotten to be a real challenge. Assuming you can get somebody to talk to you, it's often a game of cat-and-mouse to get to the truth. Employers are becoming so careful (and fearful of litigation) that what they often will say is difficult to interpret.
