No company sets out to make a faulty product. Yet, even the best-laid plans go awry. Quality assurance, rigorous testing to ensure product quality, helps prevent catastrophes. However, it is tempting to rush a product to launch and not conduct the necessary testing. Here’s why you should take the time to invest in quality assurance.

It goes without saying that as a leader you should always make sure your team is set up for success. You know your team's strengths and capabilities, so optimize them. You also know their weaknesses, so help address them with courses or connect them with someone in the company who can help. Below are a few of the ways we make sure our employees at In Time Tec are set up for success. 

The new year means new chances for growth and resolutions. The fresh start also offers an opportunity to improve your workflow. Every office has some dinosaur program or process long past its deserved end date. It’s time to see if you can be working smarter and not harder.

Hiring is a stressful process. Employees want to find their dream job, while employers aim to hire the best person for the job.

These end-of-the-year reflection articles are a favorite of mine to write. It is such a fun experience to sit down and really think back on the year – the events we hosted and attended, the people we met and hired, the clients we onboard and served, the partners we worked and grew up with, the milestones we reached and celebrated. All the creation that can happen in one year fascinates me every time I sit down to write these. It is important to do something like this, to reflect and celebrate. In fact, I just published a Creating Abundance Reflection Journal. The journal is made as a companion to my book, “Insights Into Creating Abundance” but is also a stand-alone tool meant to create a structure in your life to reflect on what you are up to, where you want to go, and who you want to be. Be sure to check it out on Amazon or send me an email, and I’ll ensure it gets shipped to you at no cost. 

It takes about 0.05 seconds for users to form an opinion about your website. This opinion ultimately determines whether they will stay on the website or leave. Research also shows that if the consumer does stay on your website, the average time they will stay there is about 45 seconds. All of this goes to show that first impressions matter.  Your UI/UX design team is the most important factor to ensuring a good first impression on your website.
