This program allowed for businesses to claim as much as $28,000 for retaining employees while their business was shut down in 2021. There are still an outstanding number of these claims which have not been processed. However, of the ones that are, there are many illegitimate claim, some of which have actually been received by the businesses that claimed them. This is creating a backlog of claims and the IRS is beginning to act. It was listed as one of the biggest tax scams of 2023. If you think you may not be eligible but did claim it on your taxes, you may be fined 20% of the total claim after it’s repaid (if it was distributed).

Leadership Coaching

Leadership Coaching from Priority Learning can propel you or your employees to greater heights in business. This is not a foreign concept, but leadership can be something that people misunderstand or confuse. Leadership is not management, the two can be entangled, but there is a difference. If you want to lead your people, it’s important to learn what does and does not work. It is also important that you guide your own learning to become the type of leader that suits you. While there are do’s and don’ts in leadership, there are also many different ways to lead that are valid. Take the time with a coach and let Priority Learning help you discover your leadership potential.

Leadership Coaching

Leadership Coaching is a very important service today. Priority Learning is dedicated to leadership and business culture. Every business has a culture. It is defined by its people, but set by its executives, and management. Successful businesses have good leaders in the right places. These leaders aren’t just there to get the job done, but to help their team or subordinates to function well together and create an environment that they look forward to coming in to. This defines the culture of the business. If people dread work, come in to get paid, and don’t care about the success of the business, it’s likely due to the culture of the business, which leaders help shape. Creating healthy business culture requires employees to be invested in their jobs and the success of the business.

Priority Learning helps leaders by teaching them the tools and skills they need to not only become the kind of leader they want to be, but also to start shaping their business culture in the direction that creates more success and a happy work environment. It is not a simple process, but it is fairly easy if you are invested in learning. Contact Priority Learning today by visiting their website to learn more about leadership coaching and their other services.
