Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos.

Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

5. What is an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP)?
• An ESOP is a qualified, defined contribution employee benefit plan that invests primarily in the stock of the
employer. Practically, however, it is a tax-advantaged way to sell all of a portion of your business.
• Business owner sells stock (for cash or a combination of cash and a promissory note) to an employee
stock ownership trust
• Price negotiated between selling shareholders and an ESOP trustee.
• Cannot pay more than “Fair Value Market”
• Independent valuation firm advises trustee – not the selling owners
• Valuation methods:
• Discounted cash flow “DCF” (typical method)
• Public market comps
• M&A transactions in industry
6. Key Benefits
1. Liquidity and diversification
• Creates known eligible buyer
• Frees up owner’s capital for other investments
• Allows for a gradual sale of the company
2. True valuation
• Owner is paid FMV for the business
• Value determined by independent appraiser
3. Tax incentives
• Company deductions for contributions to ESOP

the company gets a tax deduction for the preferred
dividend
• If ESOP owns 100% all profits are tax-free
• Owner may avoid/defer capital gains (1042
Rollover)
4. Control
• Majority ownership or board retains operational
control
• Owner can maintain upside while preserving legacy
5. Impact on employees
• Promotes ownership culture
• Incentivizes employees to stay longer to vest in the
ESOP

talent
7. Common Misconceptions
• My company is not the right type of company
• I have to sell all of my company stock
• An ESOP is too expensive to set up and maintain
• My employees don’t have the resources to buy the company
stock
• The company will have to make a fixed contribution each year
• My employees will have access to financial information
• I will lose control of my company
• My employees will have voting rights
• I can’t go back
• An ESOP can’t buy my shares because it doesn’t have any
assets
9. Taxes to the Corporation
• Loan interest, principal payment, and dividends are
deductible
• Payroll contributions up to 25% with some limitations
• If company contributes more than it can deduct, there
is a 10% excise tax on excess contributions
• If corporation is an S corp and 100% owned by ESOP
• ESOP is a tax-exempt pension trust that pays no
current tax on its share of S corporation income
• This creates significant extra cash flow for the
company to repay stock acquisition debt and to have
capital to grow and thrive
