What Employees Want

January 14, 2016 Understanding the Impact Employers sometimes forget or misunderstand the impact a new job has on their new employees.  This includes the personal change that a new job brings for said employee, as well as revealed personal skills gaps, or attaining new management responsibilities. The New Job Impact does not have to be negative, it can be very positive. And when it is, the impact on the hiring company, in turn, can also be also positive.

Making Retention Important to the Employee

January 5, 2016 "Employees who believe that management is concerned about them as a whole person - not just an employee - are more productive, more satisfied, more fulfilled.

Mulcahey, Former CEO of Xerox Employee Engagement Leads to Talent Retention I continue my hope that we are coming out of a time of recession, but every time it looks good - that this is a possibility - something causes that view to change. Companies respond differently to recession.  Many laid off or lost quality talent, others downgraded or demoted employees, reducing their hours or pay. Many others initiated hiring freezes, leaving departments struggling with too few employees. Hiring and retaining the right talent is sometimes considered a luxury many organizations cannot afford - but can an organization really afford to lose…
