How Do Your Employees Talk About Work After Work?

In today’s fluid employment market, motivation and retention of productive employees is more important than ever. While millions of dollars are spent to promote product value, almost nothing is invested in creating “organizational buzz” that attracts and retains the best people. Greg gives examples showing that just as people speak poorly about a product they purchased and are not happy with it, employees who speak poorly about their place of employment yields the same results. The best potential hire may not apply for a job opening because their friend expressed his displeasure with working there. Maciolek reveals what the numbers show and how it is the same with looking for a place to work. If someone doesn’t like a product, they tell 8-10 of their friends. If they like it, they tell 3-5 of their friends about it. If your company is perceived as “not a good place to work”, the best people avoid applying for work. Greg reveals the secrets of how keeping workers motivated on the job can position your company to attract and retain the best people.
