Measure And Build Employee And Customer Loyalty
The two most important measurements in your business are not revenue and net profit. While these are clearly desired outcomes, to get them one must focus on employee loyalty and customer loyalty, in that order.

Manufacturing Loyal Employees: Is it Possible?
How do you create loyal, motivated employees if you can't make them stand and cheer? I have observed many firms attempt to create loyalty and an inspiration for hard work amongst their staff. One financial planning firm has actually gone to the extreme in attempting to create a staff of loyal, committed staff people. But what has transpired, instead, is more of an episode of The Office than a truly inspired workforce. The reason: loyalty is not something you can force upon people or manufacture; it is earned through the relationships you establish with your employees.

Preparing for the upturn - Retaining and attracting the best skills in the market.
With the first signs of economic recovery upon us employers need to be prepared for the upturn, they need to focus on retaining skills and keep employees engaged in their work, if voluntary turnover increases after an economic downturn, then companies have to bear the costs to recruit, train, and attract new employees to replace those who have left. Replacing lost employees quickly becomes expensive. Not only does turnover have financial implications, it also impacts workplace performance. However this is just the tip of the iceberg as customer relationships are impacted, knowledge is lost and often other employees have to pick up the slack, causing increased levels of stress among the remaining workforce.
The Interview Process in a Nutshell
Have you ever thought about the full cost of hiring a new employee? There are the obvious costs: placing an ad, the wages spent on time looking at resumes and conducting interviews, pre-employment physical, reference checks. Then there are the less obvious costs: wages for training time of both the trainer and new employee, lost productivity while the position is vacant, lost productivity while the new employee learns and gets up to speed, the cost of mistakes. When you add it all up it definitely motivates you to minimize employee turnover, doesn’t it? And there are many strategies an employer can utilize to create an environment that inspires employee loyalty. But the first and most important step is making the right hiring decision.

Results are in of a new study...
As the head of a large corporation you probably understand that there is a definite need for a corporate rewards program. You realize that although the promise of a paycheck and the possibility of health care might be enough to convince an employee to show up every day for work the same paycheck often isn’t enough for that same employee to put his best foot foreword and dedicate themselves, heart and soul to making the company all it can be. This type of employee does little to increase sale figures or production output, they do not bring out the best in customer service, they aren’t normally good team players, and they certainly don’t make the work place an inviting place which in turn doesn’t inspire perfect attendance.
New Study of Corporate Rewards Program Proves...
