Description:
As a company matures and grows, complexity is inevitable. Answers have long term impact both personally and professionally. Transition decisions must be reached collaboratively and will need to consider the impact across generations. By building a climate of mutual trust and respect and creating an organic structure and supportive processes, decisions are made for the health of the business. Finding effective and efficient solutions in a growing company, especially family owned, come with both unexpected burdens and blessings. Facing the real need and beginning the plan for a transition is the sign of a committed and caring leader. Every conscientious business and leader must address this issue and build a culture of teamwork in order to survive and succeed.

Notice to Trainees
WHY WE NEED YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Act 192 of the 2008 Vermont Legislature requires employers and other training providers receiving support from the state to provide the social security number of each individual participating in the training to the department of state government supporting the training. The social security number will be used to gather wage information from the Department of Labor's files after you complete training, in order to evaluate the training program.
The Departments of Labor and Economic Development must provide information on the employment outcomes of training programs to the Legislature. Your information will be combined with information of other trainees to ensure your privacy and the privacy of your employer. The law requires the departments to keep your information confidential.
