Work-life balance has different meanings for different people. To some it means a 40-hour work week, while others may prefer longer hours with the flexibility to set their own schedule. Whatever work-life balance might mean to you, here are the top 5 jobs that allows for work-life balance.

The jobs are based on the Glassdoor”s 2016 list of the 29 best jobs for work-life balance. Glassdoor is best known for its crowd-sourced company reviews, and for this list, it grouped those reviews by job title. To be included, a role needed to have at least 75 work-life balance ratings from 75 or more companies.

This job entails ensuring a company attracts, hires and retains the best employees, while growing a strong talent pipeline. Best known as Human Resource personnel, recruiters are a bit like a “bouncer” for a company or organization, deciding whether or not candidates are suited for open positions.



2. UX Designer

User-Experience (UX) designers have a very good understanding of technology, business goals and psychology. Their main task is to conduct user research, interviews and surveys, and then use the gathered information to create sitemaps, wireframes and prototypes. This means a good UX designer has to have strong analytical abilities, backed by technical skills.

While briefing the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts in Abuja, the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, has said his ministry is in talks with the government of China to establish a special university for Transportation.

According to Leadership, Amaechi clarified that the proposed university was not part of Nigeria’s agreement with China for the rail project loan. But that he had to request for a training university so that Nigerians can learn and manage the rail transport business on its own without calling for aids from Chinese engineers all the time.

The minister also explained that as part of plans, the federal government will be sending some students to China who will learn over there and come to lecture at the university when finally established, with all cost to be handled by the Chinese government.

On the inclusion of the Eastern Corridor Rail Line in the 2016-2018 External Borrowing (ROLLING) Plan of the federal government rail project, Amaechi noted that the present administration was only implementing contracts awarded by past presidents, including Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and the immediate past president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan for railway modernisation in the country.

According to him, “prior to the resolution of the Senate, this administration had taken steps to incorporate the Eastern Corridor and indeed the North East Corridor that was not provided for all by the previous administration in 2006 and 2014 rail projects development”.

He explained that the situation necessitated the sourcing of financial option to which the federal ministry of finance has been directed by the President to take appropriate action.

Lol , Dry the Person Totally

Opoki:
The police, ndlea will just finish passenger if they do this in a secluded place.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has disclosed that checking of travelers’ luggage will no longer be done at the departure hall of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

The Managing Director, FAAN, Mr. Saleh Dunoma, said this was part of the plan to ensure the implementation of the Executive Order recently issued by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.

“The Executive Order does not give room for pre-checks on luggage. All checks should be done in designated areas. Luggage should not be checked at the departure hall,” he said.

Dunoma added that there would be no compromise with the procedures and that whatever security procedure or security checks the agency would adopt would not be compromised.

He said, “We have to meet the deadline set by the Executive Order. There are strategies in line with the order, but the concerned agencies need to meet regularly to ensure that these strategies are adhered to and improved.

“Concentration is on the Lagos airport because it is the key airport due to its size, complexity and passenger traffic. If we get it right in Lagos, we will get it right in other airports. Once we do that, I believe all the other airports will be easy for us.”

Dunoma stated that the participating agencies, including the Nigeria Police, Department of State Security, Quarantine Services, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Nigeria Immigration Services, Nigeria Customs Services and FAAN Aviation Security, among others, would implement the directive successfully.

“All participating agencies are ready to key into this big committee set up for the implementation. Everybody is contributing positively. From all indications, all hands are on deck to make sure the Executive Order is implemented successfully. FAAN does not envisage any problem at all, and it is fully committed to give all participating agencies its full support to close any obstacle that may arise,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has directed all aviation safety inspectors to monitor the level of compliance with the Executive Order at the airports, in addition to their statutory oversight responsibilities.

The Most Important thing is we should experience a change for Good

Hmmm. Sometimes I wonder if it were bubu that was making all the decision in the villa while he was still in good health

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has called for the prosecution of banks and their officials who aid corruption by hiding looted funds. He faulted those who accuse the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of engaging in media trial, saying it was corruption fighting back.

The Acting President spoke in Abuja at the opening of a three-day conference on “Promoting International Cooperation in Combating Illicit Financial Flows and Enhancing Asset Recovery to Foster Sustainable Development”.

According to The Nation, Osinbajo said financial institutions that aid corruption should face the consequences.

He said: “There is no way the transfer of these assets can happen without a handshake between the countries that they are transferred from and the international banking institutions in the countries in which they are transferred. There is no way it will happen without some form of connivance.

“We have to look at somehow delegitimising those kinds of financial institutions and criminalising them.

“Banks and financial institutions that actually engage in this must be called out and made to face the consequences of engaging in criminal practices. If that is not done, we are not likely to go very far.

“In the agreement and conventions we will be signing, we must ensure that financial institutions are not given a free run and to hold them accountable., “

The Acting President said corruption fights back when stolen monies find safe havens and are accessed by the corrupt.

“In Nigeria, for instance, corruption fights back so eloquently that government itself, if not careful, can be overwhelmed,” he said. ,

Osinbajo said some of those guilty of corruption fight back through media attacks on government.

“If you look at the anticorruption fight in Nigeria, there is a major fight back in the media. There is a media war, between people fighting corruption and those behind the stolen funds. ,

“It is called ‘media trial’ – I don’t know what that means. If you discover, for instance, large sums of money in an air conditioned room, there is no where it will not make news in the world. ,

The Acting President said some development partners were reluctant to provide funding for Nigeria because they believed the country was not poor.

How do you know if you’re a great boss? Team members who love you may be a good sign—but not if they love you because you’re way too lenient.

In Nigeria, for example, great results like increased profit or quick project turnaround, might indicate a great boss—but not if you’re getting great results at the expense of a healthy work culture or happy team members.

Here are the 5 personality traits of outstanding bosses.



Positive thinking

Great bosses understand the power of psychology- subtle positive changes in the workplace. They don’t get rattled, even when everything is going haywire. To them, every mistake, failure and situation is a learning curve.



Delegation

Every fantastic leader understands that he/she can not afford to juggle everything. Great bosses know when to leave the employees to tasks and resist the temptation to micromanage. They know each employee’s strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes, and they use these insights to draw the very best from each individual.



Team alignment

Fantastic bosses act more like mentors – they show the way things should be done. They recognize what’s unique about each member of their team and keep the team focused on the overall goal while keeping their eyes on the ultimate prize.



Honesty

Great bosses may not openly address employees mistakes, but they are never afraid to be honest with their employees even if the truth hurts. This will encourage employees to really grow and get better at their jobs. They also do not hoard information to boost their own power, they share information and knowledge generously.



Give credit

They boost confidence by giving credit for work done. By showing appreciation for every little thing done and inspiring employees, employees become as passionate as their bosses about the organisation.

Which of these traits can you readily identify with?

more at: http://www.dailydigest.ng/5-personality-traits-great-bosses-share/

A peep into any Nigerian job board would reveal that some job roles appear often. Meaning they are high-demand jobs/skills, the kinds that no organisation can do without, whether big or small.

We’ve listed a few of them. Dig in, and see which skills you should begin to work on, in order to get hired faster:



1. Graphic Designing

Also known as communication design, this is the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content. All startups and big organisation promote their brands online and offline, using captivating designs that can only done by talented graphics designers. The demand for this skill has opened a new business opportunity for Nigerians, as you’ll find a number of skilled people opening Instagram accounts that provides graphics design services.



2. Content Marketing

Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action. This goes beyond just creating content, and includes the ability to be able to distribute content to meet target audience while driving action. Many content writers are ensuring they carry this skill along with their writing skills in order to remain relevant, as brands are after getting words out there about their products/services and reaching their target market.



3. Brand Management

In marketing, brand management is the analysis and planning on how a brand is perceived in the market. Companies are now big on bringing a brand manager on board, to help put forth theirs brands in positive light. Effective brand management enables the price of products to go up and builds loyal customers through positive brand associations and images or a strong awareness of the brand. The brand manager’s major role is developing a good relationship with the target market.



4. Website/App Development

The need to be relevant in our tech-driven world is the reason why brands are investing so much in brand websites and mobile application development. Website and mobile application developers have high demand, as even in cases when organisations already have mobile apps and websites already, they are constantly improving and updating the features and outlook.



5. Social Media Marketing

As part of their marketing efforts and as a result of the growth of digital media in Nigeria, companies are now doing a lot on social media to reach their target audience. Social media marketing refers to the process of gaining traffic or attention through social media sites. The role of a social media manager is therefore now in hot demand and anyone with these skills can decide to go freelance, offering this service to various brands.



6. Accounting

Accounting has been always been an in-demand field for the years. From MSMEs to large corporations, there’s always the need for an accountant to monitor figures, manage income inflow and outflow, as well as financial statements. Accounting graduates are not resting their oars due to this hot demand, as the competition still remains tough. So, they go a step further with certifications such as ICAN and ACCA.



7. SEO

The importance of Search Engine Optimization for every company with a website cannot be overemphasised. No wonder companies are putting in resources into it. A large percentage of the population use the internet. This then means any organisation that needs to succeed not only has to be online, but also make efforts to found online. This is where search engine optimization personnel.

You’ve got this awesome business idea . You’re excited, inspired, and fired-up to take the entrepreneurial route –congratulations!

Next big step: write a business plan.

Though there’s an abundance of tips on how to write one, we want you to go beyond the fundamentals and spread a little magic through your business plan. So we’ve whipped up some of the common mistakes new entrepreneurs make when penning their plans.



1: Thinking business plans are only for seeking investments

A lot of budding entrepreneurs think they only need to write a business plan to get investors, but it is much more than that. Developing a business plan gives you a chance to thoroughly evaluate your idea, uncover its upsides and potential challenges, and, most importantly, forestall them from happening. It’s your chance to take a long and hard at your ideas’ weaknesses and decide whether or not you can overcome them.

Business plans are supposed to help you uncover obstacles and deciding if your idea is completely impractical. It is a valuable pressure test to help you overcome potential pitfalls.



2. Thinking it’s all about fancy claims

All too often, when pitching business ideas, people are more interested in the Why ? Why will people care to patronize you? Why does it matter that your business exists at all?

This is the most important part of your plan.Why should anyone buy your product, even if it’s cheaper than that of competitors? Can they be easily bought at the store? This is the concept people buy into and are eager to adopt as your selling mission. Ultimately, customers care a lot more about that than fancy claims.



3. Thinking you don’t need to learn from competitors

It’s really okay to turn to other companies who’ve done it before and borrow their recipes for success. We understand—you’re a little jealous of how well they’ve done. But how about finding out exactly how they got there? What did they refuse to compromise on? What did they passionately go after? The trick here is to know what makes these companies tick —then apply those to your own idea.

Look into other platforms to see what lessons to adopt. It would be helpful in giving a direction for your business and solidifying your expectations in reality.



4. Thinking about only the near future

Take time to analyze the bigger picture. What do you want your business to be known for 5 years down the road? What footprints do you want to leave? Think beyond just the current impact of that product or service.

Having an ambition is the lifeblood of any business. Don’t just change things, but change them for the better. And above all else, a business plan should capture that sentiment on every page.

When you sit down to write your business plan, be sure to leave some room for authenticity. This will get you investors, customers, awareness, and most of all—personal conviction of the business.

2. Sniply – Call-to-action

When you’re using social media regularly, you should also be sharing content from other, reputable experts in your industry. Sniply is a powerful tool that allows you to attach a call-to-action on every piece of content you share.
