Kitchen Connections Completes Master Bath Remodel

New Shower and Tub

Kitchen Connections, LLC is pleased to announce the completion of a Master Bath Makeover.    Having built their home 25 years ago, the client decided that it was time to make a change.  They were looking for a more contemporary ‘feel,’ that would take advantage of ample space and natural lighting.

 

 

 

Ladies Vanity Before

All original Corian Countertops were replaced with Quartz as shown here on the lady’s vanity  Wallpaper was removed and replaced with neutral paint.  The dark Green floor tile was replaced with a light tile, simulating marble.   All Simulated Brass fixtures were replaced with contemporary, silver-nickel-finished hardware.  As the cabinets were still in good condition there was no need for replacements.

 

 

Ladies Vanity After

Elegant lighting fixtures replaced dated designs over each vanity and in the center of the Bathroom.  Simulated Brass handles and pulls were replaced with silver-nickel hardware.

 

 

 

 

New Shower and Tub

The Shower was enlarged and a wall separating the Jacuzzi and the shower was eliminated.  Old tile was removed and replaced with a patterned motif on the walls and a geometric design on the floor.  A bench was added with the same Quartz top as that used on the counters and for the new tub surround.  The entire shower area is now enclosed in glass.  The Jacuzzi was replaced with a smaller tub.

The Jacuzzi was replaced with a smaller tub and updated hardware.  The wallpaper was replaced with subway tile to continue the lighter, brighter theme.

 

Walk-in Closet 

 

The new marble-like tile was carried into the walk-in closet, replacing the wall-to-wall carpet.

FRONTLINE LEADER DEVELOPMENT AND COACHING

 

Mike Perkins

ITB partner, Frontline HR Solutions, offers an exciting new lineup of Manager/Supervisor Development, Coaching, and Training Programs.  Mike Perkins, President, announced, “With the addition of two outstanding leadership development experts, we can offer an expanded menu of customized leader development and coaching programs for businesses that understand the value of investing in their first and second-level leaders.”  Leading the enhanced development programs for Frontline HR Solutions are Rodney Atkins, former Director of Talent Management for Progress Rail, a Caterpillar Company, and Dr. Colby Jubenville, Professor and Director of the Center for Student Coaching and Success at Middle Tennessee State University. Atkins has over 30 years of manufacturing and professional services experience with Fortune 500 Companies.  Jubenville is a popular public speaker and success coach, and author of Zebras and Cheetahs: How to Look Different and Stay Agile to Survive the Business Jungle (Wiley) and Me: How To Sell Who You Are, What You Do & Why You Matter to the World.  

Studies show that frontline leaders are the number one factor in employee turnover, productivity, and engagement.  Businesses and non-profit agencies that have traditionally promoted employees to supervisor and management positions without providing leadership training and coaching have discovered that investing in the development of these leaders pays huge dividends, especially in the retention and success of the employees they manage.

“Frontline’s leadership development programs are specially-tailored for our client’s specific needs, schedules and budgets,” said Perkins.  Frontline offers over a dozen training and development options ranging from fundamental programs like The Basics Every Leader Should Know, Do and Avoid; Discrimination and Harassment Prevention; Conflict Resolution; and Effectively Holding Employees Accountable to higher-level 360 evaluations, executive coaching, employee focus groups, and personal strength and communication assessments for individual and teams.

How To Navigate Open Enrollment Benefit Choices

Employers cringe this time of year because it can be confusing to comprehend the unfamiliar concepts of benefit offerings and then identify which benefits are a suitable match for their employees.

Open enrollment is an opportunity for employers to adjust the benefit options they previously offered their employees or elect new plans. This period for most companies falls in November, to which all forms must be returned and processed for the new benefit plans to take over on January 1 of the new year.

It takes weeks or even months for HR professionals to investigate and negotiate with various insurance carriers to align the right fit for their organization.

This is what HR professionals are for, so don’t fret! Flex HR is your dedicated Human Resources backbone for all things HR. We’re an HR outsourcing and consulting firm that delivers all the HR support you need – including help with those confusing and complicated benefits.

Flex HR Is Your Benefits Solution Management Provider

Consider Flex HR as your benefits solution and management provider. We manage the complex benefits and insurance process for you. We work with your broker to deliver the census data for the broker to analyze market comparison costs, all the while the current vendor provides renewal information.

Founder & CHRO of Flex HR, Jim Cichanski, explains “we act as the client’s HR department, working with the broker to achieve the best plans possible for the cost the company is willing to pay.”  Employees may be offered quality health, vision, dental, disability, and even pet insurance plans that are consistent with the company’s culture. “We do what it takes to offer employers and their employees the best plans achievable. Sometimes that takes getting creative by adding higher deductibles and a GAP plan to strategically project for the future years of not seeing large increases,” Jim outlines. We work with all industries and companies of all sizes.

After the benefit and insurance selections are made, our Flex HR team communicates and conducts the open enrollment process for you. It’s imperative to personalize these messages to employees, so they understand the guidance they are receiving in choosing their perfect plan.

Our dedicated and dependable experts reduce your leadership roles from consuming the burden of completing these tasks. We seamlessly systematize your company’s benefits to increase effective record keeping and ensure all reconciliations are up to date, protecting critical employee files. Our support keeps your organization in compliance with employment laws.

Contact Flex HR today for your benefits enrollment needs.

Hanetball360 TM – Revolutionary New Team Sport – to Host First Official League Games

Hanetball360 TM – Revolutionary New Team Sport – 

 Davie, FL (March 23, 2022) – Hanetball360 TM, will host its first official HBA360 league games on Saturday, March 26 at 5:30 p.m. with two matches taking place. The women’s teams open the night with the Lake Worth Charmers facing the Palm Beach Dazzles followed by the Palm Beach Avar vs. Ft. Lauderdale Gurus in the men’s division.  The contests will be played at The Rick Case Arena on the campus of Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Fla.

Hanetball360TM was created by Fritz Valdeus, Jr., the CEO of the Boca Raton (Fla.) headquartered DMIL360 Inc. The sport is played by two teams of seven players each on a Hanetball360 TM regulation rink which measures 157’ 2” long and 70’ wide.  The object of the game is to score points by “grounding” the Hanetball TM inside the opponents Grundnet TM.  The Grundnet TM is a 360-degree goal that is guarded by an Aimmeeter™(goalie). The games consist of four 13-minute rounds.  More details on how the games are played can be seen on the Hanetball360TM YouTube Channel video – https://youtu.be/tZLIFNDjjSU

This sport and HBA360 league, which was developed by and is fully managed by minorities, has been played competitively in Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. The league is planning to have six teams based in the United States and will have additional teams located in Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

“The goal of Hanetball360TM is multifaceted, but one of the primary purposes, is to make a positive change in the world by promoting a revolutionary new way of thinking, called QuantumThinking360TM, said Valdeus, Jr.  “This new paradigm changes everything because Hanetball360TM is the first organized team sport to score and defend on a 360-degree field of play.”

 

The second set of league games is scheduled to be played on April 16 at The Rick Case Arena.
