Hiring and Retaining Employees
Posted on 06/22/2011
I attended a conference this morning hosted by The New York Enterprise Report (www.nyreport.com) entitled: "Beyond Motivation: Ignite Your Employees & Watch Profits Grow". Excellent event. Highly recommeded to check out future events on their website.
For me, a couple of key takeaways:
(1) We should change our processes to a strategy of constant hiring - i.e. move from a hiring by deadline to fill a position to developing a relationsihp over time with potential hires and hire them when an opportunity arises.
(2) Create 100 day plans or similar for managers to strive for. Do not work on annual reviews.
(3) Look at a company called "Criteria for Success" - a sales and training company.
