AS&K Co-Hosts a Financial Wellness Webinar with The Financial Wellness Group
AS&K's self-management tools and theories were applied in a Financial Wellness Webinar with The Financial Literacy group this August.
This webinar addressed ways that employees can take control of their financial situations from basic money management to utilizing company benefits and saving for retirement. With a smart employee financial education strategy, companies can increase workplace productivity, improve company loyalty, encourage employee participation in company benefits and add measurable value to the company's bottom line.
Hosted by Richard Lofredo, ChFC, President and Founder of The Financial Literacy Group, LLC, and Dr. Paul Squires, Industrial Psychologist and President of Applied Skills and Knowledge, attendees will learn real, measurable ways the 3R’s can increase your company’s bottom line - reduce absenteeism costs, reduce turnover costs and reduce payroll tax costs.

AS&K Launches Two Web-based Paramedic
Assessments to assist EMS Organizations:
The PACS & The PACK
AS&K, Inc., working closely with Stamford EMS, recently completed development of two web-based paramedic assessments to assist EMS organizations in the selection, development and performance evaluation of paramedics. The Paramedic Assessment of Critical Skills (PACS) enables managers, supervisors, paramedic job applicants or paramedics on your staff to rate skill mastery for seven sets of critical paramedic skills. Results are available online immediately. The Paramedic Assessment of Critical Knowledge (PACK) is administered in the same way as PACS but PACK is comprised of 17 categories of commonly required paramedic knowledge. Hiring managers can use the PACS or PACK Interview Guides to interview and then rate the job applicants on the same PACS skills or PACK knowledge that the job applicants rated.
